In this post I have explained the datasheet, specifications, pinout configurations and a few application circuit for the IC IRS2153 which is a half-bridge IC from Texas Instruments. The unique feature of this half bridge driver is that it does not have to depend on external logic sources for the operations, rather allows configuring its […]

Simple H-Bridge Circuits Using BJTs and MOSFETs | No Need of Driver ICs
An H-bridge is one very useful circuit arrangement which lets us reverse the polarity across a load, so now with one DC supply we can make current flow through the load in both directions alternately. Because of that, these H-bridge circuits get used in many places like DC to AC inverter circuits, transformer drivers, bidirectional […]
Easy H-Bridge MOSFET Driver Module for Inverters and Motors
If you are wondering if there’s an easy way to implement an H-bridge driver circuit without using the complex bootstrapping stage, the following idea will precisely solve your query. In this article I have explained how to build an universal full-bridge or H-bridge MOSFET driver circuit, using P-channel and N-channel MOSFETs, which can be used […]
How to Build Maxwell Inductance-Capacitance Bridge for measuring High Value Inductors
For measuring high inductance like 100H, the bridge we use is: James Clerk Maxwell Bridge which people also call Maxwell Inductance-Capacitance Bridge. It is made for medium to high Q inductors but when the inductance is large then it still behaves nicely, so people mostly prefer this one. Audio/Video Representation Basic Concept Basic idea of […]
Wheatstone Bridge Circuits Explained with Calculations
A Wheatstone Bridge circuit is commonly used to measure resistance, inductance, capacitance, and impedance. These are made up of four parts or arms that are joined in series in a diamond like bridge configuration. These four arms carry the individual components such as resistor, inductor or capacitor connected across the fur junctions. An alternating current (AC) or […]
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 […]
