This article is on MOSFETs (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor), covering the difference between D-MOSFET and E-MOSFETs with construction, working, advantages, disadvantages, and applications. MOSFETs are the most common types of Field Effect Transistors (FETs) in Modern electronics. It functions as a voltage-controlled device and delivers high input impedance along with fast switching speed. MOSFETs are the […]
A phototransistor is a semiconductor device that combines the properties of a photodiode and a transistor. It is sensitive to light and provides amplified electrical output based on the light intensity incident on its base region. Phototransistors play a vital role in optoelectronic applications such as light sensing, encoders, switches, and signal transmission, owing to […]
Constant Current Diode (CCD) (also known as Current Regulator Diodes, or simply CRDs) are unique semiconductor devices designed to maintain a constant current over a wide range of voltages. They are extremely useful in circuits where a stable and predictable current is crucial, regardless of voltage variations. In this article, we will cover the Symbol, […]
An Astable Multivibrator is an essential oscillator circuit in electronics, used to generate continuous square wave signals without any external triggering. It is called “astable” because it has no stable state — both transistors in the circuit keep switching ON and OFF alternately, producing a continuous flip-flop output. In this article, we will explore a […]
An H-bridge motor driver is a versatile circuit that allows a DC motor to rotate in both forward and reverse directions. It is widely used in robotics and motor control applications. This article outlines how to build an H-bridge motor driver circuit using IRFZ44N MOSFETs as the main switching elements, BC547 transistors for driving the […]
This article explains an H-Bridge inverter circuit based on the SG3525 IC and MOSFETs like IRFZ44N or IRF3205 or IGBT like GT50JR22, which can convert DC to AC with a frequency of 50Hz or 60Hz, suitable for most standard applications. The SG3525 is a widely used PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) controller IC designed for various […]
