In this post we study an outstanding high current diode which features not only an in-built reverse current protection but also an over-voltage protection for safeguarding sensitive electronic circuits against back emfs, transients and load dump occurrences. How 40 Amp Diode RBO40-40G/T Works The device RBO40-40G/T from STMicroelectronics comes in a TO-220 package and looks […]

Multilevel 5 Step Cascaded Sine Wave Inverter Circuit
In this article I have explained how to make a multilevel (5 step) cascaded inverter circuit using a very simple concept developed by me. I have explained more regarding the details. The Circuit Concept In this website so far I have developed, designed and introduced many sine wave inverter circuits using straightforward concepts and ordinary […]
220V Dual Alternate Lamp Flasher Circuit
This is a mains operated transformerless flasher circuit that can be used for alternately switching a couple of CFL or similar 220V/120V lamp to produce a decorative lighting effect. Circuit Operation The below shown design depicts a simple mains operated dual or alternate lamp flasher, which is designed to flash or blink two mains operated […]
Make this 3.3V, 5V, 9V SMPS Circuit
Here I have explained about a simple switch mode power supply (SMPS) circuit which is capable of delivering 3.3V, 5V, 9V at around 800mA from a Mains input range of 100V to 285V, with a complete isolation. The functioning of the proposed 3.3V, 5V, 9V flyback SMPS Circuit may be understood by going through the […]
Over Voltage Protection for Automotive Load Dump
In this post I have explained an over voltage cut-off protection circuit in the form of automotive dump load for protecting sensitive and sophisticated modern automotive electronics from transient DC electrical spikes emanating in vehicle electrical. Transient bus voltages are a significant risk factor to integrated circuits. The maximum breakdown voltage that an integrated circuit […]
Solid-State Inverter/Mains AC Changeover Circuits Using Triacs
In this post I have explained 2 simple concepts for making solid-state triac based Inverter/mains AC changeover circuit, the idea was requested by Music girl. Technical Specifications I would like to replace the SPDT relay with 2 scr’s. Would you consider a circuit to replace those changeover relays? I believe a relay would need to […]
