If you are looking for a power transistor able to support high current upto 25 amps and yet not incorporate the traditional cumbersome TO-3 package, then the TIP36 would certainly impress you. High Current from Smaller Package The package of TIP36 is TO-3P which means the accompanied heatsink would require just a single hole to be drilled and […]

How to Switch Two Batteries Manually using Opto Coupler
The following article explaining a dual battery changeover relay circuit was requested by Mr.Raja so that it could become possible to switch between his old and new inverter batteries automatically, eliminating manual interventions. Let’s read it in details. Technical Specifications “I bought a new 12v 110 Ah lead acid battery for the dc home lighting system. I had another 12v […]
3 Simple Solar Panel/Mains Changeover Circuits
The discussed automatic change over relay circuit was requested by Mr.Karimulla Baig. The circuit normally charges the connected battery at constant current through the power received from the solar panel, and reverts to DC power from an AC/DC adapter in the absence of solar energy (during night time). Let’s the read the request in more details: Technical […]
Homemade Solar MPPT Circuit – Poor Man’s Maximum Power Point Tracker
MPPT stands for maximum power point tracker, which is an electronic system designed for optimizing the varying power output from a solar panel module such that the connected battery exploits the maximum available power from the solar panel. Introduction NOTE: The discussed MPPT circuits in this post do not employ the conventional control methods like “Perturb and […]
Comparing MOSFETs with BJTransistors – Pros and Cons
The post comprehensively discusses the the similarities and difference between mosfets and BJTs and also their particular pros and cons. Introduction When we talk of electronics, one name becomes extremely related or rather common with this subject and that is the transistors, more precisely the BJT. Electronics is in fact based on these outstanding and indispensable member, without which […]
Introduction to Schmitt Trigger
Almost any digital circuit used in modern high-speed data communications needs some form of Schmitt trigger action on its inputs. Why Schmitt Trigger is Used The main purpose of a Schmitt trigger here is to eliminate noise and interference on data lines and provide a nice clean digital output with fast edge transitions. The rise […]
