Simple IGBT Based Induction Heater Circuit and its Working
An induction heater circuit is a type of device used to heat conductive materials by inducing electromagnetic currents within the material. These heaters are commonly used in industrial applications for processes such as metal melting, forging, brazing, and heat treatment. They work based on the principles of electromagnetic induction discovered by Michael Faraday. Induction Heater […]
What is an LED Driver?
To drive LED, the voltage converter LED driver modifies the power supply to a certain voltage current. In general, the LED driver’s input includes high voltage power frequency AC (i.e., city electricity), low voltage DC, high voltage DC, low voltage and high-frequency AC (such as the output of the electronic transformer). The LED driver power […]
What is Flip Flop Circuit? Types of Flip Flops with Truth Table
What are flip flops in electronics? A flip-flop is an electronic circuit that can store single-bit binary data either logic 0 or logic 1. Basically, a flip flop is a Bistable multivibrator that changes its output depending on the input. Flip Flops are of two type edge triggered, and level triggered. State of an Edge […]
