Shunt Resistor Calculator for Ammeters
Ok so here we have one simple calculator which can help us to calculate the shunt resistor value that we need to connect across a normal ammeter when we want to use that ammeter to measure high current, more than its actual range. So normally, ammeter can measure only small current, like 1 amp or […]
Parallel MOSFET Calculator Tool: How to Connect MOSFETs in Parallel Safely
The following calculator tool can be used to correctly calculate all the parameters essential for connecting many number of MOSFETs in parallel. This ensures the current handling by the MOSFETs is implemented optimally, without any issues or technical errors, and keeps the MOSFETs safe for long term operations. MOSFET Parallel Calculator Total Load Current (Amps) […]
Calculator to Design a High Power 3kW PFC (Power Factor Correction) Circuit
In this post I will explain how to use this active PFC calculator for calculating high current, high PFC designs. In our example we will be using 230 VAC input and 3 kW output and Vout equal to around 390 V, and we will try to see how each resistor and capacitor gets calculated in […]
LM567 IC Calculator Tool
We can use this small LM567 calculator tool for finding the right frequency, Rt, and Ct values for our tone decoder circuit. Now we know that this IC works on one simple relation which is, f = 1 / (1.1 × Rt × Ct) So we can see that this frequency depends only on the […]
