How to Replace a Transistor (BJT) with a MOSFET
In this post I have explained the method of correctly replacing a BJT with a MOSFET, without affecting the final outcome of the circuit. Introduction Until MOSFETs arrived in the field of electronics, transistors or BJTs to be precise ruled the power switching circuits and applications. Though even Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJTs) can not be […]
Using MOSFET Body Diodes to Charge Battery in Inverters
In this post I have explained how the internal body diodes of MOSFETs could be exploited for enabling the charging of battery through the same transformer which is being used as the inverter transformer. In this article we will investigate a full bridge inverter concept and learn how the in-built diodes of its 4 MOSFETs […]
