This passive PFC calculator does not use any MOSFET or PWM or switching frequency. It only uses 50 Hz mains and it only works with inductors and capacitors, so the only thing that matters is the reactance of the inductor and the reactance of the capacitor at the mains frequency. That is why the calculator […]

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 […]
SMPS Flyback Boost Converter Calculator
This calculator tool supports a Boost Converter Flyback setup which means now the code considers: Corrected turns ratio and primary voltage logic since the flyback works by storing energy during “ON” time and transferring to secondary during “OFF” time. Flyback boost topology where output voltage is higher than input. An accurate duty cycle formula for […]
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 […]
