Zero Voltage switching versus deadtime for Half-Bridge Topology. New video

Admin/ October 12, 2022/ Electronics

I like to announce the availability of the latest video in the educational series of Amplifier Design and configuration. I demonstrate the difference between Zero Voltage switching and adjustable deadtime. While the analogue signal provision via a centre tapped transformer is simple enough to use it does however lag in tuning and the higher components count and costs. No consideration

SG3525A IC to replace signal generator and Half-Bridge IC. New video

Admin/ September 29, 2022/ Electronics

I like to announce the availability of the latest video in the educational series of “Amplifier Design and Configuration”. I test the SG3525A IC as replacement for signal generator and Half-Bridge IC’s. It is a very low-cost solution for our standalone application we require for any energy systems including Electroculture where we want only to add a batterie to the

Amplifier design and configuration, Half-Bridge versus Full-Bridge with bootstrap technologies. New video

Admin/ September 22, 2022/ Electronics

I like to announce the availability of the latest video in the Amplifier and Configurations series. Some time ago I tested Half-Bridge IC’s on the breadboard and compared them. I found the best Full- Bridge performance from the NCP5181 IC. We achieved at 10 Volts 11.1 KV and consumed 3.9 Watts. Now that I printed a PCB for these Half-Bridge

Snubber designs performance review. New video

Admin/ August 3, 2022/ Electronics

I like to announce the availability of the latest video in the educational series of Amplifier Design and configurations. In this video I test the RCD and the LCD snubber in regenerative mode. It is an overall overview of snubber technologies but by far not exhausted. You find the video under /research/courses/electronics-design/amplifier-design-and-configuration/. The video is only available to members.

Half-Bridge Design and Configuration, Part1. New video

Admin/ June 3, 2022/ Electronics

I like to announce the availability of the lasted video in the educational series. In this video we look at all calculations for the half-Bridge IC like Bootstrap capacitor and RC snubber. I will then demonstrate the result on the circuit and the response to the component selection. I will also introduce a new circuit board I designed containing all

Troubleshooting amplifier designs part 1. New video

Admin/ May 27, 2022/ Electronics

I like to announce the availability of a new video in the educational series. While I have to wait for orders to arrive, I wanted to pick up on a pressing subject effecting everybody. The problem to get your amplifier running without failing. I have created a new menu point in courses under research and electronic designs. The link is
