In this post I have explained a circuit which can be used for monitoring or controlling AC 220V load current by sensing the load current through a contactless current transformer. Figure 1 below depicts a circuit diagram designed for a non contact load current sensing through a current transformer, which seemed to work well. It is […]

10 Useful Function Generator Circuit Diagrams Explained
In this post I have explained how to build 10 simple yet useful function generator circuits using IC 4049, IC 8038, IC 741, IC 7400, transistors, UJTs etc. for generating accurate square waves, triangle waves, and sinewaves through easy switch operations. 1) Using IC 4049 Using only one low-cost CMOS IC 4049 and a handful […]
Arduino 3 Phase Inverter Circuit with Code
An Arduino three phase inverter is a circuit which produces a 3 phase AC output through a programmed Arduino based oscillator. In this post I have explained how to make a simple microprocessor Arduino based 3 phase inverter circuit which could be upgraded as per user preference for operating a given 3 phase load. We […]
How to Design a Flyback Converter – Comprehensive Tutorial
A flyback configuration is the preferred topology in SMPS application designs mainly because it guarantees complete isolation of the output DC from the input mains AC. Other features include low manufacturing cost, simpler design and uncomplicated implementation. The low current DCM version of flyback converters which include output specification lower than 50 watt are more […]
Using TSOP17XX Sensors with Customized Frequencies
The TSOP17XX series ICs are special infrared sensor devices built for responding to specific range of infrared frequencies and convert it into an electrical pulsed output. It thus features a foolproof immunity to other forms of IR signals. Due to this specific center or band-pass operating frequency of a TSOP17XX, it becomes difficult to use […]
3 Phase Induction Motor Speed Controller Circuit
In this post I have explained the making of a simple 3 phase induction motor speed controller circuit, which can be also applied for a single phase induction motor or literally for any type of AC motor. When it comes to controlling the speed of induction motors, normally matrix converters are employed, involving many complex […]
