So here we are talking about controlling lamps, motors, heaters and other similar loads using devices like thyristor and triac, right? Both these devices, thyristor and triac can actually do this job like switch ON/OFF or adjust power for these loads. But then we must know one big issue when we try to use thyristor […]

How Thyristor Works: Full Tutorial
Now in this tutorial we are going to learn in deep about one very important power electronic device called thyristor or also called Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR). We will try to understand how it is built and how it works. This thyristor is kind of similar to a transistor but still it is different in […]
A Detailed Tutorial on Exclusive-NOR Gate
An “Exclusive-NOR Gate” will work by combining the functionality of an Exclusive-OR (XOR) gate and a NOT gate, but you will find that its truth table looks similar to that of a standard NOR gate, because, as we see that its output is typically at logic level “1” and switches to logic level “0” whenever […]
Understanding Exclusive-OR Gate: Tutorial
The Exclusive OR (XOR) Gate is a specialized type of digital logic gate that are widely utilized in digital arithmetic operations. Using these gates it becomes possible for us to calculate the sum of two binary numbers and we can also use these gates in error-detection and correction systems. So far in our logic gate […]
Understanding Logic NOR Gate: Tutorial
The term “inclusive” in “inclusive NOR” simply tells us that it is an alternative way of referring to a regular NOR gate. Like a standard NOR gate, the inclusive NOR gate gives us a logic “1” (high) output when all its inputs are at logic “0” and we get an output logic “0” (low) when […]
How Logic NAND Gate Works: Tutorial
The NAND (Not-AND) gate is a fundamental digital logic gate which is designed to operate using a combination of an AND gate followed by a NOT gate. This means that the output of a NAND gate is generally at a logic level “1” (high) except in one specific case wherein it only switches to a […]
