Vishay Intertechnology has introduced two new automotive-grade inductors. Both IHDM-1107BBEV-2A and IHDM-1107BBEV-3A come in a 1107 case size with soft saturation current up to 422 A, depending on the model. These are through-hole, edge-wound inductors with a powdered iron alloy core that works reliably from -40 to +180 °C, keeping power losses to a minimum and achieving high thermal…

DIY FM Receiver Circuit Simple DIY FM Receiver Circuits on the Internet - Do they Really Work?

Recently, we thought of building a simple FM receiver circuit, so, like always, we started googling for possible circuits that can be used to fulfil our requirements, and as expected, we found a lot of circuits on the internet, but the question remains, how good or useful will they be when we put those circuits to the test? Because just like us, we found a lot of…

XL6009 based SEPIC Buck Boost Converter Single-Ended Primary Inductor (SEPIC) Converter Design with XL6009

In the field of DC-DC Converters, A single-ended primary-inductor converter or SEPIC converter is a type of converter that uses a boost type control topology to step up or step down the input voltage. After reading this, the first question that will come to your mind would be, is it like a glorified Classic Buck-Boost Converter? The answer is yes and no. A classic buck-…

High Power Boost Converter Circuit using TL494 Designing a High Power, High Efficiency Boost Converter using TL494

In this article, we are going to design a TL494 Boost converter, and calculate and test a high-efficiency boost converter circuit based on the popular TL494 IC, which has a minimum supply voltage of 7V and a maximum of 40V, and as we are using the IRFP250 MOSFET as a switch, this circuit can handle a maximum current of 19Amps, theoretically (Limited by Inductor…

Impedance Matching Filter Circuit Design Impedance Matching Filter Circuit Design – LC, L and PI Filters

In the previous article, we discussed the basics of impedance matching and how to use an impedance matching transformer. Apart from using an impedance matching transformer, designers can also use Impedance Filter circuits at the output of an RF amplifier which can double up as a filtering circuit and also as an impedance matching circuit. There are many types of filter…

Vishay Dale IHDF-1300AE-10 Edge-Wound Through-Hole Inductor New Edge-Wound Low Profile Inductor with 230A Saturation Current for High Current Applications

Vishay Intertechnology has introduced Vishay Dale IHDF-1300AE-10, a new IHDF edge-wound, through-hole inductor with rated current up to 72 A and saturation current up to 230 A.

With its low DCR of 1.…

Design a Coil - Air Core, Ferrite Core and Toroidal Core Winding How to Design a Coil - Air Core, Ferrite Core and Toroidal Core Winding

Every hobbyist wanting to dabble in radio has to – at some point – wind a coil or two, be it the antenna coil of an AM radio, a coil on a toroidal core for a bandpass filter in a communications transceiver or a centrally tapped coil for use in a hartley oscillator. Winding coils is not hard but quite time-consuming. There are different methods of making coils, depending on…

Pi Filter Design, Working and Applications Pi Filter - Overview, Working, Construction, Application and Design Tips

Filters are commonly used in power and audio electronics to reject unwanted frequencies. There are many different types of filters used in electronic circuit designs based on the application but the underlying concept of all of them is the same, that is to remove unwanted signals. All these filters can be categorized into two types- Active filters and passive filters. The…

Three Phase Inverter Circuit Three Phase Inverter Circuit - 120 Degree and 180 Degree Conduction Mode

We all know about an inverter - it is a device which converts DC into AC. And we previously learned about Different types of inverters and built a single-phase 12V to 220V inverter.  A 3 Phase Inverter converts the DC voltage into a 3 Phase AC supply. Here in this tutorial, we will learn about the Three-Phase Inverter and its working, but before going any further, let…
