A4988 Motor Driver Circuit Diagram with IC 555
In this article we now talk about a very simple but very useful stepper motor controller that uses one A4988 driver module and one 555 astable pulse generator. Overview Of The Circuit So we first see the main building blocks. We have one A4988 module that drives any small 2 phase stepper motor. We also […]
SG3525 Inverter Circuits with Low Battery Cut-off and Overvoltage Regulation
In this post I have explained a 3 powerful yet simple 12V inverter circuits using a single IC SG 3525. The first circuit is equipped with a low battery detection and cut off feature, and an automatic output voltage regulation feature. You may also want to read how to design a sine wave inverter from […]
Audio Source Selector Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple audio source selector circuit using a single push button and a couple of relays. The idea was requested by one of the avid readers of this blog Mr. Mike. Design Description The request can be seen as given below: I need a circuit diagram to add a […]
Passive Power Factor Correction (PFC) Calculator
This passive PFC calculator does not use any MOSFET or PWM or switching frequency. It only uses 50 Hz mains and it only works with inductors and capacitors, so the only thing that matters is the reactance of the inductor and the reactance of the capacitor at the mains frequency. That is why the calculator […]
Calculator to Design a High Power 3kW PFC (Power Factor Correction) Circuit
In this post I will explain how to use this active PFC calculator for calculating high current, high PFC designs. In our example we will be using 230 VAC input and 3 kW output and Vout equal to around 390 V, and we will try to see how each resistor and capacitor gets calculated in […]
