The cost and quantity of parts necessary to develop the proposed 250 watt sine wave power inverter circuit is actually much less compared to a noisy square wave switching-type inverter circuit. Only an extra three or four tiny transistors, a some resistors and capacitors, a couple of pots and a small driver transformer are all […]

7 Accurate Square Wave Oscillator Circuits
In this article I will comprehensively discuss 7 accurate RC square wave oscillator circuits with 50% duty cycle, by appropriately configuring the gates from various CMOS ICs such as 4001, 4011, 4093, 4046, 4047, 4016, 4060 etc. and also using op amps. Definition The square wave oscillators included in this article can be defined as […]
Digital Step Sine wave Generator Circuit
In this post I have explained how to build a simple yet accurate digital sine wave generator circuit, which is basically an oscillator circuit, enhanced to generate square waves through incrementing steps, which ultimately appears like a stepped sine waveform. By Ron Mackenzy The difference between analogue sine wave generator and digital sine wave generator […]
50 Watt Sine Wave UPS Circuit
The UPS detailed in this article can provide a power output of 50 watts consistently, at 110 volts with a frequency of 60 Hz. The output is fundamentally a sine wave that behaves exactly like standard mains home AC power for the load. An integrated power supply works like a battery charger. Even though the […]
Diode Rectification: Half-Wave, Full-Wave, PIV
In electronics, rectification is a process in which a rectifier diode converts an alternating full cycle AC input signal into a half cycle DC output signal. A single diode produces half wave rectification, and a network of 4 diodes produces a full wave rectification In this post we will analyze both half wave and full […]
Modified Sine Wave Inverter Circuits using IC 555, 4017, 4049, 4093 and BJTs
When an inverter with square wave AC output is modified to generate a crude sinewave AC output, it is called a modified sine wave inverter. The following article presents interesting modified sine wave inverter designs with exhaustive descriptions regarding its construction procedure, circuit diagram, waveform output and detailed parts lists.
