Hello everyone,
My question is about designing electronic circuit to achieve best performance and avoid burning of ICs. well i know how to connect simple BJTs, MOSFETs, opamps, etc .. but i need to understand how do someone realize that he needs a capacitor to filter, or need a RC circuit, or even needs a resistor, capacitor or a diode somewhere in the circuit for better performance.
What are the knowledge or references needed for applying this ? and do simulating programs help in that ?
Once, I asked a question about Bootstrap capacitors and SGT explained its function for me and even show me a simulation using LTspice for a mosfet with bootstrap and a mosfet without it and the difference in performance.
This is the thread: http://forum.allaboutcircuits.com/showthread.php?t=55599
So again, how would i know that i needed a bootstrap capacitor to avoid heat dissipation as explained in the above thread ? how would i know these information in designing any circuit using triac, mosfet, bjt or anything ?
Thanks in advance.
