Simple Triac Phase Control Circuits Explored
In a triac phase control circuit, the triac is triggered ON only for specific portions of the AC half cycles, causing the load to operate only for that period of […]
How RC Circuits Work
In an RC circuit, a combination or R (resistor) and C (capacitor) is used in specific configurations in order to regulate the flow of current, for implementing a desired condition. […]
Unijunction Transistor (UJT) – Comprehensive Tutorial
A unijunction transistor is a 3 terminal semiconductor device which is unlike a BJT has only a single pn junction. It is basically designed to be used as a single-stage […]
Solid State Relay (SSR) Circuit using MOSFETs
SSR or Solid state relays are high power electrical switches that work without involving mechanical contacts, instead they use solid state semiconductors like MOSFETs for switching an electrical load. SSRs […]
