This circuit is basically a H bridge inverter where two IC IR2111 are working for driving four MOSFETs that are connected in H bridge way. We also see that there is a overload and over current shut down using BC547 small transistors. So what happens is that we can run a load with AC waveform […]

IR2111 H-Bridge Inverter Circuit with Soft Start
Here we see this circuit diagram which is full H-Bridge using 4 power MOSFETs and 2 IR2111 high side driver ICs. That means this circuit is for making full bridge inverter which converts DC into AC. Power Supply Part We have +600V DC at top rail, written as +600V max. And ground (0V) at bottom. […]
Simple H-Bridge Inverter Circuit using IR2184 ICs
In this post we will try to understand this full bridge or H-bridge inverter circuit using IR2184 ICs. Let us begin breaking it down section by section. If you do not want to read the full article, you can simply watch the following video instead: What This Circuit is Doing: So here basically we are […]
H-Bridge Bootstrapping
Bootstrapping is a crucial aspect that you will find in all H-bridge or full bridge networks with N-channel mosfets. It is a process in which the gate/source terminals of the high side mosfets are switched with a voltage that’s at least 10V higher than its drain voltage. Meaning, if the drain voltage is 100V, then […]
IC IR2184, IR21844 Half-Bridge Driver Circuit Diagram, Datasheet, Working
In this article we are going to learn about one very useful IC called IR2184 or IR21844. This one is a smart half-bridge gate driver IC which we can use for driving both high-side and low-side MOSFETs or IGBTs, mainly when we are making full bridge inverters, or DC motor controllers, or even induction heater […]
Explained: Snubber Circuit for MOSFET H-Bridge
Here we are going to talk deeply about snubber circuits and why we must use them with MOSFET H-bridge circuits. Because if we do not put snubber in H-bridge then that MOSFETs might blow off during switching. Specially when we drive inductive loads like transformer, motor, relay, solenoid, etc. then this thing becomes very serious. […]
