this channel deserves more attention.. nice topic

[@ELECTRONOOBS]

Thank you and let's hope more people will engage with this kind of content :)

[@marcdraco2189]

Ditto that. I'd never heard of the the TL431 and now I'm adding it to my current project as a (no pun intended) high-accuracy constant current source (sorry *sink*, even). Fantastic!

[@raymondmichael4987]

I totally agree, A lot can be learned in this channel

[@jamespooler8809]

This is the first video I have seen from this channel. I am absolutely going to be using the power cutout circuit for my battery backup that I am installing in my car for my cameras.

This week I made a 4 cell battery balance shunt. It turned out to be virtually identical to the circuit you presented. Good to know my brain is still functioning since I designed my circuit based on the datasheet. Incidentally, my battery is 2 modules from a Nissan LEAF running into a 1kW inverter, as a backup in case of power failure. The battery is maintained by a 5 Watt solar panel sitting in the window and only supplies 300mA at best. Incase of actually being used and needing to be recharged I'll use a bench power supply when the power is back on.

[@jackwilliams2010]

I like your bench. Makes for a nice background when you're explaining things. Great video and packed with so much educational content. I always enjoy watching videos on basic components even if I don't have a project to use them.

[@power-max]

9:30 didn't analyze it yet, but that circuit doesn't appear to implement any hysteresis. As you approach the cutoff voltage slowly (like with a discharging battery) the MOSFET gate source voltage will drop linearly and your MOSFET will enter a region where itends up biased in a linear region. It might also start oscillating with the ESR of the battery and load current draw and stuff. For UVP, you need to add some hysteresis or positive feedback so that it cuts power off decisively, and only cut power on again once supply voltage goes above some slightly higher voltage threshold. (for the record, this can also oscillate as a relaxation oscillator as the voltage on a battery could rise up with no load)

[@RexxSchneider]

It relies on the very sharp transition of the TL431 from on to off as the voltage applied to its Ref pin passes below its internal reference, as it is effectively an amplifier with a large open-loop gain. Nevertheless, I would share your concern about the possibility of oscillations given the stray capacitances inherent in this sort of design. Adding a resistor of about 27K from the drain of the MOSFET to the Ref pin of the TL431 would add about 100mV of hysteresis, but of course could still provoke oscillations if too much capacitance were present at the Ref pin.

[@power-max]

@@RexxSchneider I would fully agree!

Nice TL431 circuit compilation. 👍 Of course not all designs was mentioned - I know few others, but I never thought about using TL431 as delay timer - that makes sense. 😉

[@jamesgulrich7416]

Actually, I've never heard of the TL431! I've used all kinds of Zener diodes over the years and didn't know about this IC. Thank you.

[@ve2um]

For the battery balancer, please insert a resistor (say 220 or 470 ohms) between the TL431's cathode and the transistors base to limit the TL431's current.

[@JeffriRanger]

finally, there is someone explain me how this component works

[@michaelbenard6758]

👍🏼 Bro u ar more than a teacher....

[@anthonyvolkman2338]

The time delay circuit can be further improved to actually continue switching states, in other words a TL431 can actually be an oscillator, a peak detect or rc timing circuit can be connected the output where the LED is connected which turns on transistor (preferably a fet) that will actually be able to essentially replace the switch, for instant reset no rc or peak detector is used. For a time delay between the time the output goes high can be achieved by using an rc comparable (possibly another TL431 which will actually make it stay on for a predetermined time and stay off for a predetermined time, potentiometers can be used in both places to change both of those timing intervals independently!

[@leroyusa935]

Thanks for the suggestions to make the TL431 accommodate its usefulness in such a variety of applications. Reminds me of how much I liked the IC555's usefulness. Very well done video presentation. 👍

[@opera5714]

You can also use two of them on a high current shunt for a current relay and detect only a couple of mv before it switches a relay. One provides a 2.5V reference at one end of the shunt. The other end of shunt looks for that 2.5V + shunt voltage. Only a few parts and accurate. 431's are great small relay drivers.

[@heggy_69]

I found out about these by looking up some stuff I found in an old dvd player on guitar forums, I found a few threads where people were suggesting basically using it in place of a transitor, but what I think is more interesting is its variable diode ability. Since diodes clip signals at different voltages you probably could control how much it clips with a potentiometer, or put a regular diode one way and one of these the other way and control the symmetry of clipping with a pot.

The TL431 is commonly used on the secondary of switch-mode power supplies to tell the primary current to turn off when the output voltage is too high, and vice versa.

I like this video ..it's very important for my project

[@TechTins_Projects]

Brackets can be helpful. eg Ik = (12v-2.5v)/330 also at 9:17 Vcut is the battery voltage so voltage divider step Vr2 = Vref = Vcut(R2/(R2 + R1)) rearange for Vcut including brackets Vcut = Vref (R1/R2 + 1).That might be easier to follow for some people. Plus R3 in undervoltage circuit was not explained. Also it would be better to include feedback for hysteresis. But great video.

[@Golfakis4]

could you please explain the r3 in undervoltage circuit? or do you have any video i can find something similar more analytical ? thanks in advance

“Hello friend, welcome back “ :) Please can you create a video tutorial on how to design a circuit in EasyEda or eggle, because there so many things I don’t understand I end up using veroboards. A good example circuit will be a high frequency inverter (oscillator part and power part, ) from drawing to converting into pcb. That way, many we’ll manage to order those pcb using your links as a way to support the channel too. Greetings from Tanzania 🇹🇿

[@SurajGrewal]

I wonder if you can also use it for following- -having a capacitor bank charge up from solar and trigger a circuit when it reaches a certain voltage, like solar toy. ( I imagine using a transistor and an SRC) -"reverse delay", like for electro-optic gun sight...vibration sensor senses user moving the gun, turns the sights on for a short time. (by altering the delay circuit)

[@marcdraco2189]

Sounds like the 741 or the 555 - only one most of use never heard of. This thing was created in 1977!

[@power-max]

The (only) special thing about the 741 was that it had an integrated compensation capacitor. The capacitor placed across a common emitter intermediate stage introduces an early pole that rolls off the gain at 10Hz or so if I remember right.This way, the opamp will be stable even at unity gain, at the cost of limited GBP (gain bandwidth product). The inclusion of the capacitor means that engineers and designers can use them willy nilly and not have to bother with figuring out what value compensation capacitor to make a circuit stable. This made this opamp incredibly popular as even engineers and designers are lazy, and the 741 performed well enough for most applications! The compensation capacitor introduces another problem though: Now the large signal behavior is limited, manifesting as a slew rate limit. Slew rate is the derivative equivalent of over-driving an amplifier. Just like how too much input amplitude and gain can result in clipping, a signal that swings too fast also get "clipped" to some maximum voltage swing or dv/dt. The 741 is a pretty slow opamp that can only achieve a few volts per microsecond slew rates. Really ultra-low low power opamps, especially older ones, had really pathetic slew rates!

[@marcdraco2189]

@@power-max No so much special and an industry standard, no? I read with some hilarity how many mixing desks were "powered" by 741s and yet audiophiles spend untold thousands on equipment to get the best sound possible. I'm sure most of those old desks have been replaced with something far better, perhaps 5532s or better, but those old tape master recordings will still have 741 audio all over them. ;)

[@power-max]

@@marcdraco2189 Sorry I am not in the know with all the audiofoolery stuff. What I can say is that the 741 is a pretty shitty opamp in most respects. It is slow (0.3 to 0.7V/μs actually), GBP is meh (1MHz), it is noisy as hell, input impedance isn't very high, and is far from being any good for single rail operation. (Output can only get within 1.2V of either rail in the best of times) and the inputs do not work near the supply rails either. Specs were above average back when it came out, the internal compensation was the real selling feature for them.

[@marcdraco2189]

@@power-max Completely agree with you. It's a terrible op amp, the other standard 555 wasn't as awful in real terms as it solved a lot of problems. I think the joke (serious as it is) with the mixing desks is that so many were allegedly fitted with 741s in critical signal paths and I don't need to explain to you what that means! When I was learning, the 741 was everywhere in the magazines and reference books. The big names like Ray Marston and others pegged it as their jellybean of choice. This is the days before the Internet. I often chuckle to think how we coped back then! Paul Horowitz and Winfield Hill suggest the 411 as their jellybean and it's certainly better so far as I can tell. There's a lot to be said for picking an amp according to the application. I'm currently using something TL074 in (test) circuit because it has such poor GBP. It's hilarious to see how a lovely sine wave at 20KHz degrades to a triangle wave by 100KHz (losing a good 6db on the way). It's a lazy way to avoid filtering the HF noise which the 5532 passes it beautifully... LOL. This is a breadboard so when it goes on a PCB I can concentrate on the EMF issues and use a simple 2 pole Sallen-Key filter should that become necessary, but I doubt it will.

[@power-max]

@@marcdraco2189 the test with a sine wave turning into a triangle wave, that is actually not a result of GBP. That is slew rate limitation, caused by the internal compensation capacitor and low bias current of the first long tailed pair. Slew rate is a large signal effect so to work around it try reducing your signal amplitude. Oh and I had a real interesting issue with a sallen key filter when I made one with a LM324. I observed that high frequency PWM noise was getting through. The filter wasn't filtering as good as I was expecting from simulation. Turned out the LM324 has limited output current source but can sink a reasonable amount. The issue was with the capacitive loading on the output from the filter stages. Solved it by adding a lowish value pull-up resistor so as to bias the output so that only the bottom transistor conducts. (Bring it from class B to class A operation, if you will). Yeah turns out some op amps really don't handle capacitive loading well. I think W2EAW covers this in one of his videos.

[@andreyvlasenko389]

amazing, thank you

[@harshgandhi100]

4:24 I think you should keep the voltage divider on the output side and not on the input side, because if your source voltage changes then the voltage on the reference pin will also change and that defeats the purpose.

[@davidknightaudio934]

it is on the output lol
