In this post we systematically discuss how to connect diodes in parallel for getting upgrading the overall current specifications of the assembly. This requires special circuit arrangement to ensure uniform current distribution between the devices. Whenever an inductor based load is involved in a DC circuit, incorporating a back EMF protection diode or a freewheeling […]

Understanding CMOS IC 4035 Datasheet – 4-Bit Parallel In Parallel Out Shift Register
So now we are talking about this digital IC called 4035 which is made using CMOS technology, that means it will use very low current and will give us high noise immunity. Inside this IC we have got 4 flip-flops which are arranged in such a way that they can hold and shift 4-bit data. […]
Parallel Battery Charger Circuits Explained
In this post I have explained two methods of connecting batteries in parallel. The first one below deals with changeover circuit using SPDT switches to charge multiple batteries individually or collectively. These may be connected in parallel using a single battery charger and through a manual SPDT changeover switch bank. The seconds design talks about […]
12 Amp Power Supply Circuit using Parallel LM317 ICs
This adjustable power supply is capable of delivering a maximum output of 12 A with an adjustable voltage from 4 V to 20 V through many LM317 ICs connected in parallel. It will allow testing of any device requiring a significant power supply, such as a direct current motor, a car amplifier, or even a […]
How to Connect LM338 IC in Parallel to Increase Output Current
The LM338 is an adjustable 3-terminal positive voltage regulator capable of providing up to 5 amperes of output current. To increase the output current capability, you can connect multiple LM338 ICs in parallel. When you connect them in parallel, each IC will share the load current, allowing you to achieve higher total current handling capacity. […]
How to Connect Solar Panels in Series and Parallel
In this post we will study how to connect solar panels in series and parallel and also learn how to calculate solar panels in series and parallel. Before I have explained the connection details, it would be important for us to learn some of the important parameters and specifications related to solar panels. Solar Panel […]
