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 […]
Half
IC IR2184, IR21844 Half-Bridge Driver Circuit Diagram, Datasheet, Working
In this article we are going to learn about one very useful IC called IR2184 or IR21844. This one is a smart half-bridge gate driver IC which we can use for driving both high-side and low-side MOSFETs or IGBTs, mainly when we are making full bridge inverters, or DC motor controllers, or even induction heater […]
Diode Rectification: Half-Wave, Full-Wave, PIV
In electronics, rectification is a process in which a rectifier diode converts an alternating full cycle AC input signal into a half cycle DC output signal. A single diode produces half wave rectification, and a network of 4 diodes produces a full wave rectification In this post we will analyze both half wave and full […]
L293 Quad Half-H Driver IC Pinout, Datasheet, Application Circuit
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 […]
Half-Bridge Mosfet Driver IC IRS2153(1)D Datasheet
In this post I have explained the datasheet, specifications, pinout configurations and a few application circuit for the IC IRS2153 which is a half-bridge IC from Texas Instruments. The unique feature of this half bridge driver is that it does not have to depend on external logic sources for the operations, rather allows configuring its […]
