Inductors in AC/DC Circuits Explained
In this post I have explained the response of inductors to DC and AC voltages as well as when applied with capacitors which is often used as a complementing part with an inductor. Properties of Inductor Inductors are known for their property of storing electrical energy in them in the form of magnetic energy. This […]
How to Compare IGBTs with MOSFETs
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 Cascade IC 4033 in Multiple Digit Counter Display
In this article I will comprehensively explain how to cascade many 4033 ICs together for driving multiple 7 segment counter displays. In one of my previous articles I have uniquely explained the role of pin#3 and pin#4 which become crucial when the IC 4033 are intended to function for driving multiple displays. Multiple Digit Display […]
How to Protect MOSFETs – Basics Explained
In this post I will comprehensively explain how to protect mosfets and prevent mosfet burning in electronic circuits by following some basic guidelines related to correct PCB layout, and careful manual handling of these sensitive devices. Introduction Even after connecting everything correctly you find the mosfets in your circuit becoming HOT and blowing off within […]
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 […]
