In this article, you will learn how to design a 12V 5A SMPS circuit that converts 230VAC to regulated 12V DC using the TOP227YN in a flyback configuration. Switched Mode Power Supplies (SMPS) are widely used for high-efficiency AC-to-DC conversion. The flyback topology is especially suitable for low- to medium-power isolated supplies. The TOP227YN is […]
A power diode is a semiconductor device specifically engineered to conduct large currents and withstand high reverse voltages in power electronic circuits. It is fundamentally a PN junction diode, but its internal structure, doping profile, and packaging are optimized for high-power operation rather than low-level signal processing. In power electronic systems, power diodes play a […]
In this project, we will make a CD4047 Inverter Circuit, and we will also discuss why this type of inverter is not a good or reliable solution for real-world applications. An inverter is an electronic device that converts DC voltage into AC voltage. Inverters play a very important role in power backup systems, especially in […]
A TVS (Transient Voltage Suppression) diode is a specialized semiconductor device used to protect electronic circuits from high-voltage transients such as electrostatic discharge (ESD), lightning surges, and switching spikes. It responds extremely fast and clamps overvoltage to a safe level before they damage sensitive components. Modern electronic systems are highly sensitive to voltage spikes caused […]
A surge protector is an electronic protection device designed to safeguard electrical and electronic equipment from voltage surges (transient overvoltage). A voltage surge is a sudden and short-duration spike in voltage that exceeds the normal operating voltage of a system. These surges may last from a few nanoseconds to milliseconds but can reach several kilovolts […]
Understanding the difference between Surge Protection and Over Voltage Protection is essential for designing robust electronic systems, selecting the right protective components, and complying with safety and EMC standards. Modern electronic and electrical systems are increasingly sensitive to abnormal voltage conditions. With the widespread use of microcontrollers, SMPS power supplies, communication modules, and semiconductor devices, […]
