Applegreen treats Christmas customers in their ‘Rewards’ app (and gives 125 chances to win free fuel for 2021)

-

Applegreen, Ireland’s leading motorway retailer, will treat customers to a complimentary hot beverage this Christmas, courtesy of the company’s popular ‘Rewards’ app.

Anyone who downloads and registers on the app is entitled to the complimentary hot beverage at any participating Applegreen store and will also be in with a chance to win a year’s supply of free fuel in 2021. The Applegreen Rewards app offers customers rich offers including products for 50c, Coffee Club and Car Wash Club.

“Driving over Christmas can be stressful," says Applegreen COO, Joe Barrett. "So we invite all our customers to download the Applegreen Rewards app this festive season and revive themselves with a delicious, complimentary coffee at any of our participating Applegreen stores located around Ireland."

Anyone who downloads and registers on the app will also automatically be entered into a draw to win free fuel for 2021. "We will be picking 125 winners. This season is all about giving and we want to show our appreciation for our loyal customers by offering free treats and benefits through our Rewards app.”

The Applegreen Rewards app can be used on in-store purchases at Applegreen stores nationwide, with customers benefiting from 50c in-store offers and stamps for coffee and car wash. In line with its commitment to giving back, Applegreen is also donating 2 cent from every in-store transaction to its Charitable Fund. The fund then distributes the proceeds to their partner charities, on behalf of customers.

“We set up our Charitable Fund in 2009 and honestly, it was one of the best decisions we ever made. Thanks to customer donations, we have now distributed more than €4 million to good causes including €300,000 during 2020 alone. In one of the most challenging years in living memory, the generosity of our loyal customers has helped to make a difference and that is something we are really proud of.”

The Applegreen Charitable Fund is part of the company’s overall sustainability strategy, which incorporates a range of social and environmental initiatives including zero waste, recycling programmes, improved accessibility, green energy infrastructure, and CarbonNeutral driving.

Customers can download the Applegreen Rewards app for Apple or Google Play.

Using the TLP250 Isolated MOSFET Driver - Explanation and Example Circuits

I’ve already shown how to drive an N-channel MOSFET (or even an IGBT) in both high-side and low-side configurations in a multitude of ways. I’ve also explained the principles of driving the MOSFETs in these configurations. The dedicated drivers I’ve shown so far are the TC427 and IR2110. Some people have requested me to write up on MOSFET drive using the very popular TLP250. And I’ll explain that here. The TLP250, like any driver, has an input stage, an output stage and a power supply connection. What’s special about the TLP250 is that the TLP250 is an optically isolated driver, meaning that the input and output are “optically isolated”. The isolation is optical – the input stage is an LED and the receiving output stage is light sensitive (think “photodetector”). Before delving any further, let’s look at the pin configuration and the truth table. Fig. 1 - TLP250 Pin Configuration Fig. 2 - TLP250 Truth Table Fig. 1 clearly shows the input LED side and the receiving photodetector as well

N-Channel MOSFET High-Side Drive: When, Why and How?

I had previously shown how to drive N-channel MOSFETs in low-side configuration. You can find the tutorial here: http://electel.blogspot.com/2016/12/low-side-mosfet-drive-circuits-and_23.html I’ve been requested to write a tutorial/article regarding high-side MOSFET drive. So, here I’ll talk about N-channel MOSFET high-side drive. Let’s first look at the common low side configuration.  Fig. 1 - N-channel MOSFET configured as low-side switch Now let’s look at a MOSFET configured as a high-side switch. Fig. 2 - N-channel MOSFET configured as high-side switch You can quite easily see the difference between the high-side configuration and the low-side configuration. In the low-side configuration, the load is connected between the drain and +V, while the source is connected to ground. Thus, the gate drive is referenced to ground. So by applying a voltage of >7V (for Power MOSFETs) or >4V (for Logic Level MOSFETs), the MOSFET can be fully turned on. Now let’s talk about the high-side c

Using the high-low side driver IR2110 - explanation and plenty of example circuits

-

In many situations, we need to use MOSFETs configured as high-side switches. Many a times we need to use MOSFETs configured as high-side and low-side switches. Such as in bridge circuits. In half-bridge circuits, we have 1 high-side MOSFET and 1 low-side MOSFET. In full-bridge circuits we have 2 high-side MOSFETs and 2 low-side MOSFETs. In such situations, there is a need to use high-side drive circuitry alongside low-side drive circuitry. The most common way of driving MOSFETs in such cases is to use high-low side MOSFET drivers. Undoubtedly, the most popular such driver chip is the IR2110. And in this article/tutorial, I will talk about the IR2110. You can download the IR2110 datasheet from the IR website. Here's the download link: www.irf.com/product-info/datasheets/data/ir2110.pdf First let’s take a look at the block diagram and the pin assignments and pin definitions (also called lead assignments and lead definitions): Fig. 1 - IR2110 block diagram (click on image to enlarge)
