- Recently I published a simple platinum resistance temperature detector (PRTD) design idea ( Reference 1 ) that was largely inspired by a deviously clever earlier DI by Nick Cornford ( Reference 2 ). Remarkable and consistently constructive critical ...10-10-2024
- In electrical heating applications, resistive heaters are powered through phase angle-controlled SCR/triac circuits to vary the applied voltage/power to maintain the required temperature. Phase angle control produces a lot of harmonics leading to ...15-04-2024
- Many rechargeable battery types can be damaged by deep discharge. This Design Idea circuit performs under-voltage protection (UVP) to prevent this, as well as acting as a load switch (Figure 1). With little or no modification, it can work for ...30-11-2023
- This switching regulator is highly efficient and can be used for AC and DC and requires no reactive L/C components. The regulator can provide a power factor very close to 1. The circuit (see Figure 1) can be used to regulate a heating process with ...05-10-2023
- The MOSFET in Figure 1 is used as both a heater and a temperature sensor in a thermostatic circuit. Figure 1. Circuit diagram for using a MOSFET as a thermostatic heater. The circuit can be used as a tiny thermostat for some biological structures ...30-03-2023
- To measure a zener diode’s breakdown voltage, you need a dc voltage source whose voltage exceeds that of the zener voltage. In Figure 1, resistor R SER provides voltage drop between V IN and V ZEN . In any case, V IN should exceed V ZEN . ...30-11-2022
- The circuit in Figure 1 is a high-power analog of the popular TL431 programmable shunt regulator. This two-terminal circuit is convenient when the drain of the P-channel FET is grounded, since it needs no isolation from a grounded heatsink. Figure ...24-11-2022
- The human eye is remarkably sensitive to changes in light level. In ambient light ranging over several orders of magnitude, the eye can detect changes of only a few percent, yielding an incredible dynamic range. The primary trick is that the ...25-05-2021
- The original bipolar 555 timer, the NE555 , is excellent for driving a power MOSFET’s gate. Newer CMOS versions such as the 7555, LMC555, and TLC555 use less power, but they have trouble sourcing enough current to drive a gate well and can ...22-02-2021
- A widely-used push-pull configuration of an AB class amplifier is shown in Figure 1, but it needs some improvements. Figure 1. This configuration of an AB class amplifier have some improvements. First of all, let’s take a look how its thermal ...18-02-2021
