Build Customized 220V Flyback SMPS Circuits: 12V, 5A, 60W Example Discussed
In this post I will explain you all the simple formulas, step by step, which you can use for designing and building professional grade 220V AC SMPS flyback converter circuits. As we know the SMPS transformer is the heart of an SMPS design, so here we will learn all the steps, one by step, using […]
Fence Charger Animal Contact Detector Circuit with Audible Buzzer
In one of my electric fence charger articles, one reader asked me something interesting. He wanted to know whether a buzzer could be made to sound whenever an animal touches the fence. At first I was thinking about a current sensing method because that looks like the obvious way. But after looking at how electric […]
Parallel MOSFET Calculator Tool: How to Connect MOSFETs in Parallel Safely
The following calculator tool can be used to correctly calculate all the parameters essential for connecting many number of MOSFETs in parallel. This ensures the current handling by the MOSFETs is implemented optimally, without any issues or technical errors, and keeps the MOSFETs safe for long term operations. MOSFET Parallel Calculator Total Load Current (Amps) […]
How to Upgrade EGS002 Inverter to 5kVA Level
In this article I will explain how to upgrade an EGS002 inverter board to 5kVA power level using the HCPL-3120 or HCPL-J312 opto isolated drivers with isolated inputs and isolated power supply stages. However, the low side MOSFETs are driven through ordinary BJT totem pole configuration such as by using BD139 and BD140 transistor pairs. […]
Simple H-Bridge Circuits Using BJTs and MOSFETs | No Need of Driver ICs
An H-bridge is one very useful circuit arrangement which lets us reverse the polarity across a load, so now with one DC supply we can make current flow through the load in both directions alternately. Because of that, these H-bridge circuits get used in many places like DC to AC inverter circuits, transformer drivers, bidirectional […]
