The post investigates a cheap Chinese made 12V, 1 amp MOSFET based smps circuit which can be modified into 24V 1 amp, or 12V 2 amp smps circuits also. The MOSFET used is STB9NK60Z which is a highly advanced, rugged 600V 7A device specially manufactured for high, unpredictable, voltage environment circuit applications. Reverse Engineering a 12V […]

Calculate Battery, Transformer, MOSFET in Inverter
In this post I have explained how to correctly calculate inverter parameters with associated stages such as battery and transformer, by calculating the matching the parameters correctly. Introduction Making an inverter all by yourself can be definitely lot of fun. However if the results are not satisfactory can completely spoil the whole purpose of the […]
Power Amplifier Circuit using IC 741 and MOSFET
In this post we study a power amplifier design configured using an ordinary IC 741 and a couple of MOSFETs. An operational amplifier’s output power such as from an IC 741 can be typically enhanced when a complementary emitter follower transistor is coupled at its output. The same could also generally be accomplished using a […]
Easy H-Bridge MOSFET Driver Module for Inverters and Motors
If you are wondering if there’s an easy way to implement an H-bridge driver circuit without using the complex bootstrapping stage, the following idea will precisely solve your query. In this article I have explained how to build an universal full-bridge or H-bridge MOSFET driver circuit, using P-channel and N-channel MOSFETs, which can be used […]
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 […]
Understanding MOSFET Avalanche Rating, Testing and Protection
In this post I have explained MOSFET avalanche ratings, and learn how to understand this rating in the datasheet correctly, how the parameter is tested by the manufacturer, and measures to protect MOSFETs from this phenomenon. The avalanche parameter not only helps to verify the devices ruggedness, it additionally helps filtering out weaker MOSFETs or […]
