The word TRIAC can be expanded as a TRIode for Alternating Current. While other power electronic switches like MOSFET, IGBT, etc are used for switching/controlling DC power, the…
Microcontrollers are everywhere these days, if you look around your home, your car or work environment you will find them working silently under the hood and serving their purpose…
The most popular and commonly used Power Electronic Switching Devices are the BJT, MOSFET , and IGBT. But when it comes to switching AC waveforms, we can frequently notice the…
All Electronic components can be broadly classified into two classes, namely Active Components and Passive components. These components are diametrically different from each other…
From bulky vacuum tubes to compact SMD ICs, there has been a lot of transition in the way electronics components appeared or packaged. Manufacturers are constantly working to…
A Metal Oxide Varistor or MOV is the blue or orange-colored circular component that you can commonly spot on the AC Input side of any Power Supply Circuit. The Metal Oxide…
The basic building blocks of the battery involve an anode, cathode, and an electrolyte. Another important part of a battery that we take for granted is the battery separator.…
Batteries are the energy storage units of many devices that we come across every day; they are available in different forms, sizes, parameters, and shapes. You can commonly find…
The most commonly used actuator in any electronic device/machine will be motors next to solenoids, pneumatics and hydraulics. From a simple vibration motor inside a mobile phone…
Capacitors are one of the most used passive components. From simple amplifier circuits to complex filter circuits you can find them being used in many analog and power electronic…
