In this article I have explained the pinout functions of the IC SG3525 which is a regulating pulse width modulator IC. So I have explained in details: Main Technical Features The main features of the IC SG3525 may be understood with the following points: Pinout Diagram of the IC SG3525 PinOut Description A practical implementation […]
Newly Updated Circuit Projects:
500V, 20A MOSFET IRFP460 Datasheet, Pinouts
The IRFP460 MOSFET is an N-channel MOSFET. It is rated for a drain-source breakdown voltage of 500V and a continuous drain current of 20A. This MOSFET is a third-generation device designed with fast switching and low on-resistance in mind. Specifically, it has a maximum drain-source on-state resistance of 0.27 Ohms. Basically this IRFP460 MOSFET is […]
How to Connect Digital Ammeter, Voltmeter Modules M4430, M3430
In this post I will be talking about the Chinese M4430 digital ammeter, voltmeter module which is a really neat, compact digital meter that you can mount on a panel. Whats great about it is that it is designed to measure and show us both the DC voltage and the current at the same time. […]
Automotive Display LED-backlight Driver Circuit using LP8864-Q1
The LP8864-Q1 is this cool automotive high-efficiency LED driver that comes with a boost controller. Basically it is made to efficiently power the LEDs in your car. It has got these four high-precision current sinks that do something called phase shifting. What is neat is that this phase shifting automatically adjusts based on how many […]
