    Review Request: 220V TRIAC Voltage Stabilizer using LM358 and UJT

    Hello, I have been tasked to build a Voltage stabilizer (220V, 50Hz). Now I am newbie at this and I dont want to offend anyone here (lol) but I have used Google Gemini to build a circuit. I have made the circuit in proteus 8 but it shows some errors for reasons unknown, gemini tells me its...

    Current Limit for 28A Draw

    Hi everyone, I’m working on a design that steps a 12 V supply up to 24 V using a DC‑DC boost converter to drive a motor. The issue I’m running into is that the 12 V supply is rated for 25 A continuous, but during operation, it briefly sees about 28 A and trips offline. I’ve been researching...

    Issue with AL8843 LED Driver: CTRL pin reads 0.33V while floating (Targeting Max Power)

    I'm using an AL8843 LED driver and have assembled the circuit according to the datasheet. I used a 390mΩ Rset resistor to set the output current to 256mA. As per the datasheet, I left the CTRL pin floating to operate the driver at maximum power. However, after powering up the circuit (Input...

    Help needed with Floating Positive Regulator LM723

    Hello, I am trying to make supply which can output 48V and 1A current. I found out that LM723 can output 48V if used in floating state. The things is that I calculated everything but when I use the same value Rz resistor which is in the datasheet of 2kOhms my output drops to 45V. But when I...

    Is this Zeta Converter Will work?

    i wanna make zeta converter coupled inductor as MPPT for solar panel 100WP. I read in many article that in zeta converter the switch usually use PMOS. But in this case i want use NMOS using gate driver IR2101 High Side driver only (not synchronus converter). In simulation the circuit is...

    Driving transformer primary side with TRIAC

    I am a bit new in power electronics, and I made this PCB to control a heating element using burst fire control mode. I am using a burst window of 20 half periods and in the two scope screenshots I am sending a burst of 10/20 half periods. Everything works great when driving a resistive load...

    Power switches to replace Mechanical Relay in the HV pulse tester setup

    I have a surge tester setup that uses a high-voltage power supply (up to 1000 V) to charge a non-polarized capacitor bank using SW1 to energize Relay 1 in Image 1. The bank discharges into a waveshape network (inductors + resistors) through a high-power relay, triggered by a push-button. Each...

    Synchronous buck converter problem

    I have developed a synchronous buck converter, but there is something I don't understand. I am measuring the voltage drop across the low-side MOSFET. In my simulations, the voltage drop during conduction of the low-side MOSFET is negative (around -10 to -20 mV). However, real measurements show a...

    IR2117 High Side driver no output voltage

    I'm trying to make a high side driver circuit for my mosfet but am unable to get any output from the driver A possible error might be that the model is not working but I do not know how to test weather the model is imported correctly in ltspice. I I am also making a breadboard circuit of the...

    Power DEMUX

    Hello everybody, We are working on a project to stimulate an animal through a high-voltage square wave (+150V to -150V, 100mA, 5kHz). This voltage transferred through two 16-positions electrode array. Only one electrode in each array can be stimulated simultaneously. Our first approach was to...

    Facing problems on Designing a Reliable DC-DC Buck Converter for Battery-Powered Applications!

    Hello everyone, I'm currently working on a project that involves designing a DC-DC buck converter to step down a 12V battery input to a stable 5V output, capable of delivering up to 2A for a portable device. While I have a basic understanding of power electronics, this is my first attempt at...

    Need help with DAB Converter

    I made my DAB Converter in LTspice and it seems to work whenever the NMOS are replaced with switches but I have no idea why if I just replace them the switches with MOSFETs it doesn't work anymore. As shown in the screenshot if I replace the NMOS for the S1 PWM as well as the S4 PWM, my DAB...

    Cuk Converter Help

    Im currently working on a project for my course (power electronics). No one in my class knows what we are supposed to do. I could just use some direction, thank you this is what I've got so far. When I check the voltage across the resistor, it looks like this.

    How to select a mosfet driver(opto..) for 24v to 12v buck converter

    I want to create a 24v to 12v buck converter. I am trying to control mosfet with optocouplör. I have 25kHz-50kHz pwm signal from arduino/pic16f877A. I have some mosfets like IRFZ44N, IRF540N IRF4905 and etc. I am using PC817 opto but I guess it is not suitable for high frequency pwm like 25kHz...

    R/S flip flop usage in DC/DC converters

    Hi Everyone, Can anybody explain why R/S flip flop is used in this circuit? I would also like to know how the clock signal should look like in duty cycle? Last but not least, in R/S flip flop's truth table, it's stated that both set and reset pins shouldn't be turned to high state at the same...
