In this post I have explained the method of correctly replacing a BJT with a MOSFET, without affecting the final outcome of the circuit. Introduction Until MOSFETs arrived in the field of electronics, transistors or BJTs to be precise ruled the power switching circuits and applications. Though even Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJTs) can not be […]

Understanding and Using a Piezo Transducer
In this post we try to investigate what transducers are and how they need to be configured in circuits while using them in a given application Understanding Piezo Transducers A piezo transducer is a device primarily used for converting an applied frequency to audible sound. It may be compared to a loud speaker, the only […]
Astable Multivibrator Circuit Using NAND Gates
An astable multivibrator is referred to an electronic configuration which is able to generate continuous alternate high and low pulses from a couple of outputs, operating in tandem. Why IC 4093 You might have well come across such astable circuits using a couple of transistors, a couple of capacitors and a few resistors.However more simpler […]
How to Use an Op amp as a Comparator Circuit
In this post I will comprehensively explain how to use any opamp as a comparator in a circuit for comparing a input differentials and producing the corresponding outputs. What is an Op amp Comparator We’ve been using an op amp IC probably since we started learning electronics, I am referring to this wonderful little IC […]
How an Inverter Functions, How to Repair Inverters – General Tips
In this post we will try to learn how to diagnose and repair an inverter, by comprehensively learning the various stages of an inverter, and how a basic inverter functions. Before I have explained how to repair an inverter it would be important for you to first get fully informed regarding the basic functioning of […]
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 […]
