In this post I will explain you all the simple formulas, step by step, which you can use for designing and building professional grade 220V AC SMPS flyback converter circuits. As we know the SMPS transformer is the heart of an SMPS design, so here we will learn all the steps, one by step, using […]

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 […]
2 Simple MOSFET Gate Driver Circuits using BJTs
Very often we see that output coming from a microcontroller, oscillator, comparator, or PWM stage is just not strong enough for driving a power MOSFET directly, it gives signal, yes, but gate does not respond properly unless some decent current reaches there. A MOSFET gate behaves like a small capacitor, so now unless that gate […]
How to Design Customized 220V SMPS Circuits
We many times think that how we can make a SMPS circuit, and we feel that this is very complex. But that is not so because we can do this by following simple manual calculations step by step. We only need to know that SMPS design is always starting from the transformer. We cannot make […]
How to Sense Current Using Op-Amp: Low Side and High Side Circuits Explained
In this post we are going to learn one very interesting and also very much useful topic that is how we can measure the current which is going through any load by just using some normal resistors and one op amp circuit. We know already that current is one very important thing in every electrical […]
How Load Conducts in Half-Bridge Driver Circuits like IR2184 or IR2110
Many folks, especially beginners, they get fully confused when they try to use a half-bridge driver circuits using ICs like IR2184 or IR2110. They look at the datasheet diagram and start thinking, “Bro, how the load will conduct? The MOSFETs are switching one by one so how the current will pass through the load? Looks […]
