    op amp circuit function?

    Hi,
    I am repairing a ups which doesn't turn on ,it has the following ICs:
    SG3525 used to drive inverter mosfets.
    couple of uc3483, one for the power supply and another to drive a big mosfet at the output stage(i think the technique is called boost)
    A LM358 and TL074 for control mechanism and of course the uController.

    The SG3525 is shutting down every time the ups is turned on.
    I want your help to know the function of LM358 and TL074 in the system.
    I reverse engineered the LM358 circuit and i think that one of the block(A) is used for battery level monitor but couldn't make sense of the other block(B).
    "uC" label is microcontroller.
    once we decode the lm358 circuit i will upload the TL074 circuit.

    They may be used for sensing and scaling parameters such as voltages and currents. Do the outputs go to comparators (e.g. LM339 or LM393)? Op amps can be used as comparators, but actual comparators are optimized for that function.

    Power Supplies should be boring: No loud noises, no bright flashes, and no bad smells.

      I mentioned all the IC's in the board, the output of block A is going to a pin in the microcontroller through R4, and output of block B is going to another pin of the microcontroller through R13, maybe i should upload the TL074 circuit too, it could be their functions are related somehow🤔
      Isn't block B a schmitt trigger??

        Fixing the Charge Circuit of the Batteries of the DC Motor
        by Astonished
        Hi friends of electronics

        What you see in the video and pictures attached is the circuit for charging the batteries of a DC motor.

        The problem is that this circuit cannot charge the batteries (3 1800mAH NiMH batteries) any more. When the circuit was OK, its green LEDs lit up one at a time to show that the batteries have charged more. But now that the circuit is flawed, LEDs light up as you see in the video and at the same time successive beeps are heard.

        Please help me fix this circuit.

        Lenovo L490 Ram voltage circuit malfunction
        by rddube
        Hello friends,

        Looking for some guidance here. The RAM voltage circuit on this motherboard keeps burning out PU301 which is a RT8231AGQW. Copy of the board with the burnt chip attached with some voltage measurements and copy of the schematics also included.

        I think I've checked almost every component in the circuit, but when I change the RT8231, the laptop starts I have 1.2V on the inductor for about 10 seconds and then the RT8231 goes south and no more voltage on the inductor. All other voltages on the laptop are good, this is the only one conking out for a reason I...

        Short Circuit tester
        by Tarot Superstars
        Hello.
        I have seen a short circuit tester made with 3 * 9V batteries, a voltage limiter component and a resistor connected to the probes of a multimeter.
        The theory is that the meter becomes sensitive enough to read very low resistances and the lowest resistance to ground on a circuit is likely to be a short circuit in that area.

        MSI B250 Gaming M3 Short circuit in CPU power supply circuit
        by M1NEBLANK SHOW
        Hello. MSI B250 Gaming M3 board, short-circuit on the power supply. Found a problematic mosfet VQ1
        (N-PK616BA_PDFN8-HF) soldered it out - short circuit is gone. I replaced VQ1 + VQ5 (N-PK632BA_PDFN8-HF). VQ1 was replaced with PK618. After starting attempt VQ1 is lit again. What can be the problem? In the driver?

        Viper22A 5VSB circuit
        by прямо
        So I have a cheap non working ATX PSU that I was learning to repair a decade ago. At the time, it blew the main fuse, bridger rectifier, NTC, and primary 9A 900V MOSFET. Replaced all except the MOSFET. 5VSB came back online. Then I poked around in it so much, measuring components one by one to a point I accidentally made the 5VSB circuit primary side went bang. Blown the AP8022 (Viper22A) PWM chip, along with a low resistance resistor and the PC817 opto isolator. I replaced them all.

        In the process of poking around, I also lost a zener diode that stabilize the voltage coming from...
