In this post we investigate the technical specifications and pinout details of the IC L293 which is a versatile quad half-H driver IC, and can be used for implementing many interesting motor driver based circuit applications, such as for operating motors, solenoids and other inductive loads (4 units separately or in pairs through push-pull mode). How […]
Compact 3-Phase IGBT Driver IC STGIPN3H60 – Datasheet, Pinout
In this post I have explained the datasheet, and the pinout specification of the IC STGIPN3H60 from ST microelectronics, which is perhaps the slimmest and the smartest 3-phase IGBT driver IC featuring in-built IGBTs, rated to work with 600V DC bus and upto 3 amp current, that’s equivalent to almost 1800 VA handling power. 3-Phase IGBT […]
Automotive LED Driver Circuits – Design Analysis
In cars or automobiles, LEDs have grown to be the preferred choice of lighting. Whether it’s the rear tail-lights or the tell-tale indicators in the cluster as indicated in Figure 1 below, all incorporate LEDs nowadays. Their compact dimensions helps versatility in design and offers the prospective to be as durable as the vehicle’s life […]
Automotive Display LED-backlight Driver Circuit using LP8864-Q1
The LP8864-Q1 is this cool automotive high-efficiency LED driver that comes with a boost controller. Basically it is made to efficiently power the LEDs in your car. It has got these four high-precision current sinks that do something called phase shifting. What is neat is that this phase shifting automatically adjusts based on how many […]
Simplest Piezo Driver Circuit Explained
In the previous post I explained a piezo transducer element and learned how to use it with electronic circuits. In this article we will see how a piezo tranducer can be driven or operated using a simple circuit. As discussed earlier a piezo transducer basically requires a frequency to vibrate and reproduce the required sound. […]
