N76E003AT20 Microcontroller: Pin Configuration, Features & Its Applications
Major companies such as Texas Instruments, PIC, ST, and others provide many microcontrollers with different features and prices. But when it comes to differentiating these microcontrollers based on features and form factor versus price, choosing the right MCU for application between them will be very difficult. However, in 2008, a Taiwan-based semiconductor company called Nuvoton which was spun off as a subsidiary of Winbond offered many useful cost-effective microcontrollers, cutting-edge … [Read more...]
IRFZ44N MOSFET : Pin Configuration, Circuit, Working, Interface Arduino & Its Applications
In the 1980s, the advent of high-power MOSFETs made power switching more efficient and faster. Almost all modern switching power supplies use some form of power MOSFET as the switching element. MOSFETs are preferred due to their low conduction and switching losses, and the DC gate current is zero because gate MOSFETs are made up of capacitors. IRF series N-channel Power MOSFETs are developed to control DC fans, the light intensity of LED strips, and DC motors without a relay. This article gives … [Read more...]
MPF102 JFET : Pin Configuration, Circuit, Working & Its Applications
In many electronic circuits like small signal amplifier circuits, switching circuits, transfer circuits, etc. Junction Field Effect Transistors (JFETs) are commonly used electronic components due to their high input impedance and low power consumption. It is a voltage-controlled resistor and it is very easy to operate in low amplifier circuits in TV or radio receivers, modulation circuits like FM, AM, SW (Short Wave), etc. Among many, let's discuss MPF102 N-channel JFET is affordable and rarely … [Read more...]
TB6600 Stepper Motor Driver : Pin Configuration, Interface with Arduino, Working & Its Applications
Stepper motor drivers are small pin-compatible modules designed particularly to drive stepper motors capable of continuously rotating with precise position control without the need for a feedback system. The stepper motor drivers have built-in converters that offer multi-stage resolution and variable current control that allows control of stepper motors with simple step and direction inputs. These modules are usually the main carrier boards for various stepper driver ICs that provide low-level … [Read more...]
CD4008 4-Bit Full Adder IC : Pin Configuration, Working & Its Applications
In digital electronic devices, like computers/processors, adders are the digital logic circuits designed for ALU operations such as the addition of 2 or more binary numbers, address calculation, address calculation, increment and decrement operations, counting, table indexes, etc. Because the bits flow and computation in these logic circuits ensure the performance, functionality, and performance of the computers. This article describes the 4-bit full adder that is available in CD4008 IC and used … [Read more...]
MX1508 DC Motor Driver : Pin Configuration & Its Applications
When a conventional geared DC motor is connected directly to the output of the ICs such as Atmega16, microcontrollers, 555 timers, and 74 series ICs the motor might get damaged. Because these ICs cannot provide at least 250mA of current required for the DC motor. Therefore, to drive the DC motor, a circuit (with transistors or relays or L293D/L298) is needed that can work as a bridge between the motor and the IC. Hence, the manufacturers and hobbyists use several IC motor driver modules in … [Read more...]
