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...
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...
Prototyping to prove a Design Concept
Before simulation in EDA tools. First stage of concept proof or design tweaks were made on BreadBoard, Stripboard or General Purpose PCB. Even now it is used after simulation or directly. Many RF and...
Potentiometers Trimpots and Presets
Here are some images of types of Potentiometers or variable resistors. Pots or Potentiometers have a Shaft on which a knob can be fixed. These are used on Instrument panels to vary or control...
Design Notes – Analog Basics – 06
Building discrete semiconductor and passive designs, using Opamps and Mixed Design Circuits are the first step in electronics. Most consumer Electronics have a high analog circuit content. Even in Embedded Systems the interface design...
