Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS): With active load switching, the current drain with a low output is approximately equal to ID(sat). This may cause a problem with battery operated equipment.…
Peak to Peak Detector - Working Principle and Applications: A half-wave rectifier with a capacitor-input filter provides a dc output voltage roughly equal to the peak of the input signal.…
Internal Architecture of 8275 CRT Controller: The 8275 programmable CRT controller is a single-chip device that generates all the signals which are used for interfacing a microprocessor system. The main…
Basic Components of Static Relays Articles Semiconductor Diodes in Static Relays: The pn junction has rectifying characteristics as shown in Fig. (10.1). If a source of emf is connected to…
Apparatus Protection in Power System Articles: Transformer Protection Types: Nature of Transformer Faults: Power transformers, being static, totally enclosed and oil immersed develop faults only rarely but the consequences of…
Coincidence Type Phase Comparator: The basic concept of phase comparison is simpler in that it is possible to deal with signals of equal strength whose coincidence (or noncoinecidence) is readily…
Zero Crossing Detector Circuit: Zero Crossing Detector Circuit basically involves the sine to square wave conversion by a level detector circuit followed by a pulse circuit, which consists of one…
Rotor Protection: Rotor Protection - As pointed earlier rotor windings may be damaged by earth faults or open circuits. Figure (6.16) shows a modern method of rotor earth-fault detection. The…
