555 timer Ac Dc Inverter Timer

AI Thread Summary

The discussion focuses on the use of a 555 timer in a DC to AC inverter circuit and the necessity of power amplifiers for higher output. Participants inquire about the specific circuit referenced and the role of the two power amplifiers. It is noted that the 555 timer has limited power capabilities, necessitating additional amplification for effective performance. The lack of a visible schematic complicates the conversation. Understanding the integration of power amplifiers with the 555 timer is crucial for achieving desired output levels in inverter applications.

Your schematic is not available. The 555 is a relatively low power device, so if you require it to deliver much power output, you need to follow the 555 with a power amplifier.

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Two capacitors, etc.'

suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
