Just like situations in which we need to regulate the voltage in our designs, there are scenarios where we need to regulate the current that’s being supplied to a particular part of our circuit. Unlike transforming (changing from one voltage level to another), which is usually one of the major reasons for voltage regulation, current regulation is usually about keeping the…
In the previous article, we discussed about Current Mirror Circuit and how it can be built using a Transistor and a MOSFET. Even though a basic current mirror circuit can be constructed using two simple active components, BJTs and MOSFETs or using an amplifier circuit, the output is not perfect, as well as it has certain limitations and dependencies on the external factors.…
Interacting, understanding and then responding to the situation are some of the greatest features of humans and those are the things which make us what we are. We are born to live in a social society and we have always known about us that we are the most well-mannered social creature known since the creation of this planet.
The social culture and…
“The future of mobility is going to be shared and electric” says Sameer who is the Co-Founder and CTO of FAEbikes, a company which provides EV ride hailing services. All their EV’s are spread across the city of Bangalore connected to internet through IoT allowing them to remotely monitor their bikes. The users who wish to avail their services can simply download their mobile…
The Current Mirror is a widely popular technique for monolithic IC design. In this technique, the circuit is designed in such a way that it copies the current through one active device to another active device with current control feature. In this, the current is flowing through one device can be copied into another device but in inverting form. If the current of the first…
Driverless Cars which were one of the biggest technological fantasy of the 1990s (fueled by earlier movies like “The Love Bug” and “Demolition Man” ), are a reality today, thanks to the huge advancement made around several technologies especially LIDAR.
What is LiDAR?LIDAR (stands for Light Detection and Ranging) is a ranging technology that…
With the world moving rapidly towards the future of e-mobility, the lithium-ion battery industry is becoming one of the most critical industries that are shaping the energy storage revolution. Lithium-ion batteries are witnessing heavy demand in various applications, as these batteries play an instrumental role in the growth of today’s power and transportation industries.…
Communication is one of the most important parts of any IoT project. The ability of a thing to communicate with other “things” (a device cloud/server) is what gives the “thing” the right to attach the “internet” to its name. While tons of communication protocols exist, each of them lacks one thing or the other which made them “not totally suitable” for IoT applications…
Op-amp or Operational Amplifier is the backbone of Analog Electronics and out of many applications, such as Summing Amplifier, differential amplifier, Instrumentation Amplifier, Op-Amp can also be used as integrator which is a very useful circuit in analog related application.
In simple Op-Amp applications, the output is proportional to…
The need for an efficient and flexible electricity transmission system has been consistently felt in today’s industrialized economies. There are a number of options available to policymakers and commercial entities, with high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission systems emerging as a feasible mechanism of energy management.
The development of…
Current is a very critical factor in Electronics or Electrical Engineering. In electronics, current can have a bandwidth from few nano-amperes to hundreds of amperes. This range can be much wider in Electrical domain typically to several thousand amperes, especially in Power Grids. There are different methods to sense and measure current inside a circuit or a conductor. In…
Electric vehicles are not something new to this world, but with the technological advancement and increased concern on controlling pollution has given it a tag of future mobility. The core element of the EV, apart from Electric Vehicle Batteries, which replaces the Internal Combustion engines is an Electric motor. The rapid development in the field of Power electronics and…
