Shunt Resistor Calculator for Ammeters
Ok so here we have one simple calculator which can help us to calculate the shunt resistor value that we need to connect across a normal ammeter when we want to use that ammeter to measure high current, more than its actual range. So normally, ammeter can measure only small current, like 1 amp or […]
SMPS Flyback Boost Converter Calculator
This calculator tool supports a Boost Converter Flyback setup which means now the code considers: Corrected turns ratio and primary voltage logic since the flyback works by storing energy during “ON” time and transferring to secondary during “OFF” time. Flyback boost topology where output voltage is higher than input. An accurate duty cycle formula for […]
Vehicle Speed Detector Circuit for Traffic Police
In this post I will show how to construct a circuit which can measure the speed of any vehicle on roads and highways. The proposed circuit is kept stationary at a place where the vehicles are suspected to over-speed. If any vehicle goes beyond the speed limit, the circuit alerts immediately. We will be looking […]
IR2111 H-Bridge Inverter Circuit with Soft Start
Here we see this circuit diagram which is full H-Bridge using 4 power MOSFETs and 2 IR2111 high side driver ICs. That means this circuit is for making full bridge inverter which converts DC into AC. Power Supply Part We have +600V DC at top rail, written as +600V max. And ground (0V) at bottom. […]
IC IR2111 H-Bridge MOSFET, IGBT Driver IC: Full Datasheet, Circuit Diagram
In this article I will talk about this IC IR2111 which people use many times in power electronics field. We can see that this IC is made in such a way that it can handle high voltage and also it can work with very high switching speed and it is mainly meant for working like […]
