If you are wondering or worried about precisely how much power your MOSFET can tolerate under extreme conditions, or under extreme dissipative situations, then the SOA figures of the device is exactly what you should be looking at. In this post we will be comprehensively discussing the Safe Operating Area, or the SOA, as it […]

Understanding MOSFET Current Rating in Datasheets
In this post I will comprehensively explain the current rating of MOSFETs in their datasheets, and helps us to understand how it is calculated by the design engineers, keeping in mind the various external parameters, which potentially impact the current limitations of the device. In simple terms, MOSFET current rating can be defined as the […]
12 Basic Digital Logic Circuits Explored
In the following paragraphs I will try to explain the most basic foundations of digital electronic circuits: namely logic gates and logic flip-flops. Whether it is a complex and larger digital circuits, or as simple as a BCD counter, for example the 7490, or a large-scale integration (LSI) microprocessor chip, eventually all of these comprise […]
Boolean Algebra in Logic Circuits Made Easy
Boolean algebra is a assortment of basic mathematical techniques applied to signify and communicate the logical procedures that happen within a digital circuit. Difference Between Boolean Algebra and Common Algebra Boolean algebra is much like common algebra. The main distinction is that in contrast to common algebra, in which we have parameters that can be […]
High Stability of Crystals in Oscillator Circuits
The stability of good quality RC oscillators can be expected to be around 0.1%, while normally we can assume the stability of LC oscillators to be up to 0.01%. When a much higher level of stability is required, we have to use a crystal based oscillator circuit. The main reason why crystals are so important […]
6 Simple AC Bridge Circuits Explained
An AC bridge is a circuit which can be used for measuring parameters like capacitance, resistance, Inductance using differential method, by comparing them with known values of similar components, positioned diagonally across a bridge circuit, and through an analogue meter placed at the center of the bridge. Before we begin talking about the AC bridge […]
