Design Notes – Power Electronics – 03
SMPS designs should have clear line or patch of isolation for product safety and long term reliability. If you use opto-couplers they need to have 5kV or better isolation and 10mm between pins. The...

Production Notes – Electrical – 02
All Electronic Products have interfaces to external electrical circuits. The power supply is also derived using converters or power supplies. Motors, Heaters and Transformers are examples of components in the electric power circuits. Points...
Amps-n-Volts Notes Corrected Improved
Near 2001 i started sharing my learning and experience in Electronics Engineering on Blogs and Newsletters. One of the Successful eMag and electronic email magazine ran for five years. I lost interest later in...
Digital and Embedded Systems Design
An Embedded Microcontroller or DSP system is made of Chips, Circuits and Firmware. The digital voltage levels, speed, bus width, fan out, power consumption are some factors that a designer has to keep in...
Design Notes – Power Electronics – 02
Power Supplies and SMPS, Transformers, Drive circuits for Motors, Heaters and Solenoids are all Power Electronics. Thyristors, Mosfets and High Power Transistors are important components used in these circuits. Tek Power Supply Facia –...
Instrumentation and Automation – 02
In Test and Measurement and Industrial Process Control a common factor is instrumentation. The measuring aspect is common to both. T&M instruments are used in Testing, Research,Automated Testing, Troubleshooting and Servicing. Process control Instruments...
Production Notes – Prototype Fabrication – 03
Prototype Fabrication and Pilot Production are the first stages of a design concept taking a real tangible form. The transition from R&D to Manufacturing Engineering happens here.
Production Notes – Electromechanical – 01
Production, especially prototype testing and Pilot Production exposes lot of engineering and serviceability issues. When you mass produce, it is more streamlined, yet the scope for improvement never ends. The process should always be...
