Thyristor is one of the most common semiconductor device in electronics, mostly in high power applications. In fact, a thyristor is like a diode, but the main difference is that the thyristor can be controlled in the circuit. The control system only can turn on the thyristor by injecting current
The rectifiers can be classified into half-wave and full-wave rectifiers, and in this article, full-wave rectifier characteristics and applications are presented comprehensively. Then, a brief comparison between a half-wave rectifier and a full-wave rectifier is discussed.
A rectifier is a type of converter which converts AC parameters to DC
The transformer is one of the most important equipment in electrical engineering, which changes the magnitude and phase angle of AC input. In fact, the transformer is a static electrical machine because there is no rotating part in the transformer. Moreover, the transformer is a passive component that transfers energy
The amount of current utilized by an IC when it is in the Quiescent state is referred to as Quiescent Current. The Quiescent state refers to any period of time when the IC is either no load or non-switching but is still switched on. When the external load current is
Weak signals cannot be measured with high accuracy because measurement instruments need high accurate elements, which increases the costs considerably. Therefore, the sensors’ output must be amplified, and then other conversions and measurements can be applied. Some sensors’ outputs are based on current, and their amplitudes are quite low. Hence,
A sample and hold circuit is an analog device that takes the voltage of a continually changing analog signal and holds it at a consistent level for a set amount of time. The sample and hold circuits are commonly used to filter out anomalies in input signal, in Analog-to-Digital Converters
A ballast resistor is a resistor that resistance increases as current flows through it is increases and its resistance reduces as current flows through it drops. As a result, a device that helps to preserve the electrical circuit’s stability. Even if there are variations in the applied voltage or the
A flyback transformer is an energy conversion device that sends energy from one end of a circuit to the other at a constant power level. The voltage of a flyback transformer is stepped up to a very high value depending on the application. It’s also known as a line output
This article presents Anderson’s bridge concept, principles, and its applications. This Anderson’s bridge is used for accurate inductance measurement. There are three main inductance measurement techniques in electronics, but this bridge can cover the limitation of the other methods. Alexander Anderson invented Anderson’s bridge circuit in 1891 by modifying Maxwell’s
Wheatstone bridge is one of the most well-known measuring systems that measure the unknown resistances precisely. For this reason, the Wheatstone bridge is known as the resistance bridge. Moreover, this bridge can be used for measuring instrument calibration, i.e., voltmeter or amperemeter. In this article, this useful measuring system is
