In this post I have explained the main differences between an IGBT and a MOSFeT device. I have explained more about the facts from the following article. Comparing IGTB with power MOSFETs The insulated-gate bipolar transistor features a voltage drop which is significantly low when compared to a conventional MOSFET in the devices which have […]

How to Connect a TSOP1738 IR Sensor
TSOP17XX series devices are advanced infrared sensors having a specified center frequency of operation which makes their detection extremely reliable and foolproof. In this post I have explained how to connect a TSOP series infrared sensor and use it for a specified IR remote control operations. TSOP IR Sensor Specifications A TSOP series of IR […]
Simple Buck-Boost Converter Circuits Explained
In this post I have explained s few simple DC to DC buck-boost converter circuits which can be used for either stepping up the input DC voltage or stepping down the input DC voltage to specific output DC voltage levels. Since a buck-boost converter allows the input voltage to be either stepped up or stepped […]
USB Isolator Diagram and Working
The following email discussions were sent to me by Mr John Sweden who is one of the avid readers of this blog, here he explains about an USB isolator device, and how it may be incorporated while using an oscilloscope with a PC, in order to safeguard the oscilloscope and the test circuit from accidental […]
Sine wave PWM (SPWM) Circuit using Opamp
SPWM refers to Sine Wave Pulse Width Modulation which is a pulse width arrangement in which the pulses are narrower at the start, which gradually get broader at the middle, and then narrower again of the end of the arrangement. This set of pulses when implemented in an inductive application like inverter enables the output […]
How Thyristors (SCR) Work – Tutorial
Basically an SCR ( Silicon Controlled Rectifier) which is also known by the name Thyristor works quite like a transistor. What SCR Stands for The device gets its name (SCR) due to its multi layered semiconductor internal structure which refers to the “silicon” word in the beginning of its name. The second part of the […]
