Datasheets and Components
TSOP1738 Infrared Sensor IC Datasheet, Pinout, Working
Video showing the Testing of TSOP1738 with 38 kHz Frequency The TSOP17XX series of ICs are infrared sensor devices designed for sensing infrared frequencies only with a specific range of modulated frequency, and interpreting them into a proportionate magnitude of electrical pulses at the output. This is specifically done to make the sensor immune to […]
Low Power MOSFET 200mA, 60 Volts Datasheet
In this post I have explained the main specs and pinouts of a small signal, low power N-channel mosfet 2N7000G. Mosfets vs BJTs When we talk of mosfets we normally associate it with high current, high voltage, and with high power applications. However, just like ordinary BJTs, small signal mosftes are also available which may […]
Compact 3-Phase IGBT Driver IC STGIPN3H60 – Datasheet, Pinout
In this post I have explained the datasheet, and the pinout specification of the IC STGIPN3H60 from ST microelectronics, which is perhaps the slimmest and the smartest 3-phase IGBT driver IC featuring in-built IGBTs, rated to work with 600V DC bus and upto 3 amp current, that’s equivalent to almost 1800 VA handling power. 3-Phase IGBT […]
