The control-circuit output current has to be amplified when the gate current required to trigger the device is higher than the control-circuit output current capability. For example, A lot of MCUs feature output pins with a current capability around 30 mA today. With IGT, they can switch Triacs safely up to 15 to 20 mA. Below are two solution if […]

We can control medium power load, such as AC motors in home appliances, using ACST12 devices. Because of it’s thermal and turn off commutation performances, this device is able to drive an inductive load up to 12 A with no turn if additional snubber. High thermal performances in static and transient modes such as the compressor inrush current or high […]

Sometimes, there are unexpected solenoid and excessive corrosion occurs on current sense circuit. Corrosive effects can be occurred because of the differential voltage between the ground and the load. To reduce that possibility, the shunt and the switch are placed on the high side. When switch is off, the battery is removed from the load, it will avoid damage from […]

An AD8205 can be used to make a high-side current sense with a low side switch. Besides AD8205, an inductive load (solenoid) and a resistive shunt are added in this circuit. The resistive shunt is placed on high-side and the switch is placed on low-side, so that all current measurements, including the the re-circulation current, can be done because when […]

You might find op-amp based active virtual ground, but here a schematic diagram shows that you can build such circuit using discrete components. This circuit uses most any complementary pair of small-signal transistors such as PN2222A and PN2907A. The diode that is used in this circuit is generic small-signal types like 1N914. You can also use other transistor type as […]

The schematic diagram below show us a circuit of a battery-powered voltage reference that draws only 17uA of supply current. Two AA cells can power this reference over 18 months at this level. Drift of the reference is only at 5.5 uV/°C over the industrial temperature range at an output voltage of 1.23 V @25°C. The load regulation is 85 […]
