Here’s a 17 min. video describing the above in the title. It’s technical and somewhat complicated but calculates the power dissopated during switching. There are a lot of important details, such as the value of the gate resistor. I think I need to do a lot more studying about this topic.

2024-09-20 Simple 1 Digit Counter, IR Beam Break
This short uses a CD4026, a 7 segment display, 9V battery, some resistors, an IR LED and a CdS photocell or phototransistor. Break the IR beam and the display advances to the next digit. https://www.facebook.com/reel/525596709839365?mibextid=9drbnH
2024-08-31 AM Transmitter, Low Power
This is an AM transmitter that this guy built. He says it’s rich in harmonics – it has no tuning nor low pass filtering and the stages are class C, no forward bias. It should have all the things used to minimize harmonics, like a low pass filter. Class C operation is used to maximize

2024-08-21 Adjustable Power Supply Uses Sziklai Pair
This messy bunch of parts is a 0 to 9V adjustable power supply. The original power supply board connected the two transistors in the Darlington Configuration. The unregulated 12V input goes through a 187 ohm resistor to a 10V zener diode to give a stable reference voltage. This voltage is fed to a 2.5k linear

2024-05-16 Delta-Sigma Modulator Using 555 IC And Current Source
This circuit is used for converting an analog signal into a digital pulse stream. Such things as class D audio amplifiers, servo amplifiers, A to D converters, or sending an analog signal across a fiber optic link. The Schematic and explanation here in this webpage. https://lrak.net/wiki/555_Delta-Sigma_Modulator.html The output signal is shown as audio modulated onto
