Battery Voltage monitor

All rechargeable battery has their specific level of charging and discharging, they are likely to get damage if the battery voltage exceeds that level. Here is a simple circuit battery voltage monitor used to indicate the state of battery by monitor them.

The circuit of battery voltage monitor is fabricated and designed around an op-amp IC LM709 configured as comparator. Where bi-color LED is used as indicator and indicates three voltage level state of a 12V battery. Resistor R1 with potentiometer VR1 is used as potential driver of voltage monitor circuit.When voltage level rise above 13.5 volts, the output from IC₁ goes low as a result LED begins to emit RED light. Similarly, when the voltage fall below a preset level (10Volts) the output goes high and the LED start to emit GREEN light. Resistors R₃ and R₄ is used as current limiter of LED.

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...

Block diagram of AM transmitter and receiver with explanation

Block diagram of AM transmitter and receiver with explanation AM Transmitter : Transmitters that transmit AM signals are known as AM transmitters. These transmitters are used in medium wave (MW) and short wave (SW) frequency bands for AM broadcast. The MW band has frequencies between 550 KHz and 1650 KHz, and the SW band has frequencies ranging from 3 MHz to 30 MHz. The two types of AM transmitters that are used based on their transmitting powers are: · High Level · Low Level High level transmitters use high level modulation, and low level transmitters use low level modulation. The choice between the two modulation schemes depends on the transmitting power of the AM transmitter. In broadcast transmitters, where the transmitting power may be of the order of kilowatts, high level modulation is employed. In low power transmitters, where only a few watts of transmitting power are required , low...
