Simple DC power delay circuit

Description.

The circuit diagram shown here is of a simple DC power delay circuit that is based on an SCR. This circuit is a very handy one and can be employed in many applications. The working of this circuit is very simple. When the input power is applied the capacitor C2 charges through resistor R2 and when the voltage across the capacitor just exceeds the Zener diode D3’s breakdown voltage, it breaks down and the SCR H1 is triggered and the delayed power will be available at the delayed OUT terminal.

Notes.

The circuit must be assembled on a good quality PCB.
The Zener diode must be rated half the input supply voltage.
The current capacity of the circuit depends on the SCR and here it is 4A.

Using the TLP250 Isolated MOSFET Driver Explanation and Example Circuits

I’ve already shown how to drive an N-channel MOSFET (or even an IGBT) in both high-side and low-side configurations in a multitude of ways. I’ve also explained the principles of driving the MOSFETs in these configurations. The dedicated drivers I’ve shown so far are the TC427 and IR2110. Some people have requested me to write up on MOSFET drive using the very popular TLP250. And I’ll explain that here. The TLP250, like any driver, has an input stage, an output stage and a power supply connection. What’s special about the TLP250 is that the TLP250 is an optically isolated driver, meaning that the input and output are “optically isolated”. The isolation is optical – the input stage is an LED and the receiving output stage is light sensitive (think “photodetector”). Before delving any further, let’s look at the pin configuration and the truth table. Fig. 1 - TLP250 Pin Configuration Fig. 2 - TLP250 Truth Table Fig. 1 clearly shows the input LED side and the receiving photodetector as well...

Audio signal processing IC for 1 5 V headphone stereo

General Description: The AN7500FHQ is a single chip IC optimum for a 1.5 V headphone stereo system including pre-amp., power amp. and Dolby B type noise reduction circuit. Current consumption in a Dolby circuit off mode has been drastically reduced and an operating supply voltage has also been lowered to 0.98 V. Much fewer external components have been realized due to an integration of audio signal processing system into a single chip circuitry in a small outline package and space saving mounting of a set.
