There are multiple Lithium batteries available in the market with larger options in capacity. However, as we all know lithium batteries are need to be charged, discharged, or even stored in a particular manner to extend their life. In this project, we will explore a circuit that will discharge the battery fully and provide the result of how much capacity the battery has.…
Oftentimes in an electronic circuit, it's absolutely necessary to use a special protection unit to protect the circuit from overvoltage, overcurrent, transient voltage, and reverse polarity and so on. So, to protect the circuit from these surges, Richtek Semiconductor introduced the RT1720A IC which is an oversimplified protection IC designed to meet the needs. The low-cost…
Toshiba has launched a 150V N-channel power MOSFET “TPH9R00CQH” that uses the latest generation process, “U-MOSX-H,” and that is suitable for use in switching power supplies for industrial equipment - including those deployed in data centers and communications base stations. Shipments start today.
TPH9R00CQH has a drain-source On-resistance about 42…
An audio amplifier is an Electronic circuit that amplifies low-power audio signals to a level suitable for driving Loudspeaker. These Amplifiers are used in wireless communications and broadcasting, and in audio equipment of all kinds. There are many classes of Amplifiers and we have previously built a lot of Audio Amplifier circuits ranging from small…
Today, our desks are full of devices that require connection to be connected with the PC via USB, or we need to work with multiple devices that have USB ports. It became a problem as Laptops lack multiple ports, and this is where a USB hub or USB Port Extender comes in handy. This comprehensive guide demonstrates how to build a professional DIY USB hub with a power supply using…
According to media reports and experts in the industry, the power plant failure continued for 90 minutes, which is said to have damaged five million people and their properties
A day back, Taiwan’s biggest government backed power plant Xingda witnessed a massive outage that badly impacted a huge area of the island’s trade and local population. The…
The ESP32 based project is basically to detect the theft from the energy meter used in households as well as in the commercial sector. There is two based meter one for the distribution line and one for the consumer side. Whenever the distribution line load reading does not match the consumer side reading; that means there is some kind of power leakage in…

I used to make Arduino and raspberry pi for home automation and for fun & learning new technology. We have installed 1MW on-grid roof top solar power plant at my company. Plant is installed…
Microchip Technology Inc. has announced the new GMICP2731-10 GaN MMIC power amplifier that is fabricated using GaN-on-Silicon Carbide (SiC) technology and delivers up to 10W of saturated RF output power across the 3.5 GHz of bandwidth between 27.5 to 31 GHz. This new device is designed for use in commercial and defense satellite communications, 5G networks, and other…
The TDA7294 IC is a popular sound amplifier IC with low cost that has a ton of power handling capacity, 100W to be exact. For this tutorial, we are going to use two of those TDA7294 ICs in a bridge configuration to build an even more powerful amp that can handle up to 170W of RMS power. Throughout this tutorial we will walk you through the…
Electrical Grid is one of the most important achievements of recent history. Here, the grid denotes the whole network, right from the powerhouse where energy is generated all the way to our house where energy is utilized, and everything in between. However, the rise in renewable energy generation and growth in distributed energy resources have caused technical…
