SCR Applications Circuits
In this article I have explained many interesting SCR application circuits and also learn the main features and properties of an SCR also called a thyristor device. What’s an SCR or Thyristor SCR is the acronym of Silicon Controlled Rectifier, as the name suggests it’s a kind of diode or a rectifying agent whose conduction […]
P-Channel MOSFET in H-Bridge Applications
Implementing P-channel MOSFETs in an H-bridge circuit may look easy and enticing, however it may require some stringent calculations and parameters for achieving an optimal response. P-channel MOSFETs are usually implemented for load ON/OFF switching. The ease-of-use of P-channel options on the high side allows them to be very convenient for applications like Low-Voltage Drives […]
I/V Tracker Circuit for Solar MPPT Applications
Optimizing power by tracking is the key feature which makes solar MPPT concept so unique and efficient, where the complex and non-linear I/V curve of the solar panel is tracked and switched for creating maximum optimal conditions for the connected load. The Circuit Concept I have been trying hard to design something that would in […]
