In this article I will elucidate a simple universal H-bridge module using BJTs and N-channel MOSFETs. This module can be integrated with any standard oscillator ICs such as IC 4047 or IC SG3525 or even IC 555, to create a highly efficient H-bridge inverter circuits. Why using 4 N-channel MOSFET H-Bridge is the Most Efficient […]

Automatic Micro UPS Circuit
The following article discusses a simple automatic micro UPS circuit which can be used with modems for acquiring uninterrupted power from a DC source, and battery during mains power failures. The circuit also incorporates an automatic over charge cut off, and a low battery indication feature. The circuit was requested by Mr. Kapil Goel. Technical […]
Simplest Full Bridge Inverter Circuit
Among the different existing inverter topologies, the full bridge or the H-bridge inverter topology is considered to be the most efficient and effective. Configuring a full bridge topology could involve too many criticality, however with the advent of full bridge driver ICs these have now become one of the simplest inverters one can build. What’s […]
How to Calculate Transformerless Power Supply Circuits
In this article I have explained how to calculate resistor and capacitor values in transformerless power supply circuits using simple formulas like ohms law. Analyzing a Capactive Power Supply Before I have explained the formula for calculating and optimizing resistor and capacitor values in a transformerless power supply, it would be important to first summarize […]
Designing a Power Factor Correction (PFC) Circuit Using UC3854 – Key Considerations
The IC UC3854, what it does is, it helps in active power factor correction, right? Now normally, if we don’t correct the power factor, then power system will pull current from the AC mains in a way that’s not a nice sine wave but rather distorted. This IC takes care of all the control stuff […]
Automatic Curtain Open-Close Circuit
We are happy to share an automatic curtain control circuit kindly provided by Mr. August Peterson. This design helps to open and close curtains by sensing light from the surroundings. It uses an LM393 comparator, a solar panel as a light sensor and a 24V motor. The circuit makes the curtain open in the morning […]
