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 […]
Design your own Sine Wave Inverter Circuit from the Scratch [Tutorial]
In this article I have explained comprehensively regarding how to design a sine wave inverter without any form of coding or complex circuit designs. The included designs are simple yet extremely precise with their sine waveform structure. You might have often felt discouraged, thinking that making a sine wave inverter from the scratch can be […]
How to Design Simple LED Driver Circuits
In this article I have explained how to design your own customized, simple LED driver circuits at home. We will learn how to calculate specific LED configurations for applying the LEDs with appropriate LED driver power supplies. In these driver power supplies I have explained two concepts one by using SMPS boards and the other […]
How to Design a Bench Power Supply Circuit
In this post I have explained how an effective and efficient, yet very cheap, and stabilized bench power supply can be designed by any electronic hobbyist for safely testing all types electronic projects and prototypes. The main features that a bench power supply must have are: Audio/Video Representation General Description The majority of the power […]
How to Design MOSFET Power Amplifier Circuits – Parameters Explained
In this post I have explained various parameters that must be considered while designing a MOSFET power amplifier circuit. We also analyze the difference between bipolar junction transistors (BJT) and MOSFET characteristics and understand why MOSFETS are more suitable and efficient for power amplifier applications. Contributed by Daniel Schultz Overview When designing a power amplifier […]
