AC Light Dimmer Circuit
In this post I have explained through two examples how to build a simple110 V or 220 V AC light dimmer circuit for controlling light intensity with pot, using the principle of triac phase chopping. A 220V dimmer switch circuit is basically a triac/diac based AC mains voltage regulator circuit which can be used for […]
High Voltage Transistors BUX 86 and BUX 87 – Specifications
In this article we are going to make an effort to understand the technical specs of the BJTs BUX86 and BUX87 which are high voltage complementary paired transistors. Introduction The Bux 86 and BUX 87 are typically high voltage switching transistors with silicon epibase. They come in TO-126 package and are NPN types. These devices […]
How Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) Circuits Work
SMPS is the acronym of the word Switch Mode Power Supply. The name clearly suggests that the concept has something or entirely to do with pulses or switching of the employed devices. I have explained how SMPS adapters work for converting mains voltage to a lower DC voltage. Advantage of SMPS Topology In SMPS adapters […]
Cheapest SMPS Circuit Using MJE13005
The explained circuit in this article is probably the simplest and the cheapest, since it employs minimum number of components and the making of the circuit is very straightforward. Circuit Operation Generally SMPS topology involves some fixed standard stages and criteria. Thgey may be listed in the following manner: The first stage which is the […]
Wireless Li-Ion Battery Charger Circuit
Charging batteries through inductive wireless charging is one of the applications that’s becoming very popular and getting appreciated by the uses. Here we’ll study how to make a wireless Li-Ion battery charger circuit using the same concept. Any electrical system which involves wire networks or cables can be very messy and cumbersome. Introduction Today the […]
