IGBT stands for Insulated-gate-Bipolar-Transistor, a power semiconductor which includes the features of a MOSFET’s high speed, voltage dependent gate switching, and the minimal ON resistance (low saturation voltage) properties of a BJT. Figure 1 exhibits IGBT equivalent circuit, where a bipolar transistor works with a MOS gate architect, while the similar IGBT circuit is actually […]

Adjustable Switching Power Supply Circuit – 50 V, 2.5 Amps
The explained variable switching power supply circuit is designed around the integrated switch mode power supply controller device Type L4960 from SGS. The main features of this switching regulator can be summarized from the following data: Main Features Input voltage range: 9-50 VDC Output voltage variable from 5 to 40 V. Maximum accessible output current […]
Switching Two Alternate Loads ON/OFF with IC 555
In this post I have explained how to make a simple IC 555 based alternate relay timer circuit for toggling a couple of loads alternately with a specified length of delay, as determined by the calculated values of the relevant components. The idea was requested by Mr. Sanjoy. Circuit Objectives and Requirements The Design Referring […]
Industrial Valve Switching Detector Indicator Circuit
In this post I have explained a circuit idea which can be used for identifying the switching pattern of set of valves from a remote location, using just two wire from the valve sets to the indicator circuit at the distant location. The idea was requested by Mr. Andreas. Technical Specifications Here is another circuit […]
Switching OFF Lights in a Periodic Sequence
In this post I have explained a circuit that will switch off a group of lamps in sequence with a predetermined delay rate, as set by the user through a built in pot. The ideas was requested by Mr. Azam Jamal Technical Specifications I want to make a circuit which works like: I have 9nos […]
