Introduction to Different Types of Inverters Power inverters are fundamental devices for power electronics that convert DC (Direct Current) into AC (Alternating Current). There are many types of power inverters specific for use in residential, commercial, and industrial systems. It is important to understand the types of power inverters in power electronics to make the appropriate decision about the type of power inverter you would like… |

Solenoid Driver Circuit Solenoids are very commonly used actuators in many process automation systems. There are many types of solenoids. For instance, there are solenoid valves which can be used to open or close water or gas pipelines, and there are solenoid plungers which are used to produce linear motion. One very common application of a solenoid that most of us would have come across is the… |

Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) Most of the consumer electronic devices around us, such as mobile phones, TVs, Radios, and MP3 players, are a combination of Digital and Analogue electronics. Wherever wireless transmission/reception, or audio signals are involved in an electronic design, we will need periodic oscillating electronic signals. These signals are called Oscillating signals and are very useful in… |

RC, RL and RLC Circuits The entire range of electronic components can be divided into two broad categories: active components and passive components. The Passive components include the Resistor (R), the Capacitor (C) and the Inductor (L). These are the three most used components in electronics circuits, and you will find them in almost every application circuit. These three components together in… |

Cycloconverters – Types, Working and Applications Power supplies can be classified into two broad categories: AC power supply and DC power supply. Since only AC power can be generated economically, most electrical machines run on AC power. However, the standard voltage and frequency from generating stations may not suit certain industrial machines. This is where power electronic converters like inverters and cycloconverters… |

Passive High Pass Filter Previously, we discussed the Passive Low Pass Filter; now it is time to look into the passive high pass filter. A passive high pass filter is an electronic circuit that allows high-frequency signals to pass while blocking low frequencies below a predetermined cutoff point. Same as before, if you look into the name, it shows “Passive”, “High… |

Smart Blind Stick using Arduino Ever heard of Hugh Herr? He is a famous American rock climber who has shattered the limitations of his disabilities; he is a strong believer that technology could help disabled persons to live a normal life. In one of his TED talks, Herr said, “Humans are not disabled. A person can never be broken. Our built environment, our technologies are broken and disabled. We the… |

Generate Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) Signal using 555 Timer IC Pulse Width Modulation using 555 timer is an important feature of today’s microcontroller due to its requirement for controlling many devices in almost every field of Electronics. PWM is widely used for motor control, lighting control, etc. Sometimes we do not use a microcontroller in our applications, and if we need to generate PWM without a microcontroller, then we prefer… |

Frequency Counter using Arduino Almost every electronic hobbyist must have faced a scenario where he or she must measure the frequency of a signal generated by a clock or a counter, or a timer. We can use an oscilloscope to do the job, but not all of us can afford an oscilloscope. We can buy equipment for measuring the frequency, but all these devices are costly and are not for everyone. With that in… |

Interfacing ADC0808 with 8051 Microcontroller ADC is the Analog to Digital converter, which converts analog data into digital format; usually, it is used to convert analog voltage into digital format. Analog signal has an infinite no of values, like a sine wave or our speech, ADC converts them into particular levels or states, which can be measured in numbers as a physical quantity. Instead of continuous conversion, ADC… |
