MOSFET circuit design and selection is a commonly requested topic for me to cover. There are a lot of uses for MOSFETs, as a result, they have become more commonplace than standard BJT or NPN transistors, especially in high-power applications. This article will discuss different MOSFET circuit [...]
One of the first projects that aspiring electronic designers or engineers undertake is making an LED blink. Completing this task with a simple resistor to limit the current is relatively simple. Many people then believe that this is the standard “end-all, be-all” for LED control. For [...]
Understanding how to properly troubleshoot circuits is an important skill to possess as an electronics designer. No matter how well versed in design and layout you are, many days will be spent on time-consuming circuit troubleshooting. It is crucial to have a solid understanding of circuit design [...]
One of the most misunderstood topics when launching a new product to market is of patents and prototypes. My goal with this article is to dispel myth’s and help guide entrepreneurs in product development. I will try to help suggest when to patent an invention first, and when to prototype it [...]
While working on my youtube video series, I have had many questions and requests to do a detailed write-up on design considerations for a high powered printed circuit board(PCB). Throughout my career, I have worked on several high powered LED and motor driver boards. The most powerful would peak at [...]
H-Bridge Circuit Basics What is an H-Bridge circuit? In the most simplistic terms, an H-bridge circuit can switch the polarity of the attached load. The most common use of an H-bridge is to drive a DC motor, allowing directional control. There are various H-Bridge designs, and some use discrete [...]
