100 °C to 1000 °C Thermocouple Temperature Meter Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple op amp based thermocouple temperature meter circuit which can be used for measuring high temperatures in the range of 100 °C to […]
What is IGBT: Working, Switching Characteristics, SOA, Gate Resistor, Formulas
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 […]
Making a Center Speaker Box C80 for Surround Sound Systems
A Hi-Fi surround sound system (5.1) typically consists of 4 speakers at the corners of the room, and a center speaker just below or above the TV or the video […]
Simple Triac Phase Control Circuits Explored
In a triac phase control circuit, the triac is triggered ON only for specific portions of the AC half cycles, causing the load to operate only for that period of […]
110 V to 310 V Converter Circuit
The discussed circuit is a solid state AC to DC voltage converter that will convert any AC input between 85 V and 250 V into a constant 310 V DC […]
