In this post I have explained a high current sensorless BLDC motor controller circuit which does not depend on hall effect sensors for initiating the operations rather utilizes the back EMF from the motor for the sequential input Overview For proper commutation most 3-phase BLDC driver circuits rely either on a sensor based feedback or […]

Connecting Voltage Regulators 78XX in Parallel for High Current
In this post we investigate how to connect popular voltage regulator ICs such as 7812, 7805 in parallel for acquiring high current output from the ICs. Voltage regulator chips mostly have their maximum current output specs fixed to some predetermined levels. Increasing them to a higher level would normally call for external out board transistors […]
High Voltage Meter Circuit [for Measuring 10kV]
In this article I have explained a simple high voltage meter circuit which can be used for measuring extremely high voltages in the order of many 1000s of volts. The circuit can be used to measure high voltages from CDI units, Automobile spark plugs, high voltage generators, mosquito bat circuits, fence chargers, room ionizer circuits […]
How to Design High-Pass and Low-Pass Filter Circuits Quickly
In this post I have explained how to design audio filter circuits such as high pass filter and low pass filter circuits effortlessly without going through the hassles of complex simulation and calculations. The presented designs will enable creating filter circuits only for the desired specific frequency bands and block all other unwanted frequencies. What’s […]
High Voltage, High Current DC Regulator Circuit
We all are pretty familiar with the 78XX voltage regulator ICs or the adjustable types such as LM317, LM338 etc. Though these regulators are outstanding with their specified functioning and reliability, these regulators have one big disadvantage…. they won’t control anything above 35V. Circuit Operation The circuit presented in the following article introduces a DC […]
Converting Wasted Spark Ignition to Sequential Spark, for High Efficiency Combustion
In this post I have explained a simple method of converting a wasted spark type ignition system in an automobile, into an enhanced, sequential spark, 6 cylinder engine type ignition system. The idea was requested by Mr. Brenton, as given below: Main Requirements I was looking through the car and motorcycle section but couldn’t find […]
