In this post I have explained a programmable Auto-Starter circuit which may be used for getting a pre-programmed set of automatic sequential operations over a Diesel Water Pump as intended by the user. The idea was requested by Mr. Scott. Technical Specifications I am currently trying to figure out how to make up an auto […]

LM317 IC Tester Circuit – Sort Out Good ICs from Faulty Ones
Here is simple but handy testing circuit for LM317 adjustable voltage regulator IC. I am sure it can be used to test other similar ICs like LM117, LM158, LM358 etc. The circuit is pretty straightforward. The circuit is based on normal configuration of adjustable voltage regulator. How it Works For details follow https://www.homemade-circuits.com/2011/12/how-to-build-simplest-variable-power.html A DPDT […]
How to Replace a Transistor (BJT) with a MOSFET
In this post I have explained the method of correctly replacing a BJT with a MOSFET, without affecting the final outcome of the circuit. Introduction Until MOSFETs arrived in the field of electronics, transistors or BJTs to be precise ruled the power switching circuits and applications. Though even Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJTs) can not be […]
Using MOSFET Body Diodes to Charge Battery in Inverters
In this post I have explained how the internal body diodes of MOSFETs could be exploited for enabling the charging of battery through the same transformer which is being used as the inverter transformer. In this article we will investigate a full bridge inverter concept and learn how the in-built diodes of its 4 MOSFETs […]
BJT 2N2222, 2N2222A Datasheet and Application Notes
This article explains the main specifications, pinouts and application related information regarding the transistor NPN BJT 2N2222, 2N2222A, and also its complimentary PNP pair 2N2907 BJT Introduction In one of my earlier posts I have explained regarding a few low signal type of transistors like BC547, BC557 etc. Here we are going to study the […]
Class-D Sinewave Inverter Circuit
A sinewave inverter using class-D amplifier functions by converting a small sinewave input frequency into equivalent sine PWMs, which is finally processed by an H-bridge BJT driver for generating the mains sinewave AC output from a DC battery source. What is Class-D Amplifier The working principle of a class-D amplifier is actually simple yet extremely […]
