Implementing P-channel MOSFETs in an H-bridge circuit may look easy and enticing, however it may require some stringent calculations and parameters for achieving an optimal response. P-channel MOSFETs are usually implemented for load ON/OFF switching. The ease-of-use of P-channel options on the high side allows them to be very convenient for applications like Low-Voltage Drives […]

Understanding MOSFET Turn-ON Process
A correctly calculated MOSFET turn-ON process ensures that the device is switched ON with optimal efficiency. While designing MOSFET based circuits you might have wondered what is the correct way of turning ON a MOSFET? Or simply what is the minimum voltage that should be applied across gate/source of the device to switch it ON […]
Battery Charger Problems Troubleshooting Discussed
The included battery charger circuit was designed and built by Mr.Vinod Chandran, however there’s some issues and problems with the circuit the troubleshooting of the same is addressed in this article. I have explained the discussion between Vinod and me. Discussing a Transistor Battery Charger Problem Vinod: I am attaching the circuit image of the […]
Using TSOP17XX Sensors with Customized Frequencies
The TSOP17XX series ICs are special infrared sensor devices built for responding to specific range of infrared frequencies and convert it into an electrical pulsed output. It thus features a foolproof immunity to other forms of IR signals. Due to this specific center or band-pass operating frequency of a TSOP17XX, it becomes difficult to use […]
Make this Digital Temperature, Humidity Meter Circuit using Arduino
In our previous article, I have explained how to interface temperature humidity sensor with arduino and read out displayed on serial monitor of arduino IDE. In this post I have explained how to display the reading on a 16×2 LCD display for the proposed digital temperature/humidity meter using Arduino. Introduction This project may be used […]
Earth Leakage Indicator Circuit for Detecting Current Leakages in Ground Wires
A simple earth leakage indicator circuit discussed here can be used for getting some very useful results regarding current leakages from an appliance body into the earth pin. The idea was requested by Mr. SS kopparthy. The circuit of the proposed earth leakage indicator is shown in the figure below. Each such unit may be […]
