5V, 12V Buck Converter Circuit SMPS 220V
This step down buck converter will convert a 220V AC input from mains supply to 5V or 12V or 24V DC with 90% efficiency. The proposed buck converter is an SMPS circuit using the IC VIPer12A from STMicroelectronics. The circuit uses negligible number of external components yet is able to operate directly from mains AC input. The Buck […]
AC Motor Speed Controller Circuits using Back EMF
In this post I have explained a few circuit diagrams for building AC motor speed controller circuits using back EMF concept. Working Principle of AC Motors So now, all those home type appliances like electric drill machines, sander machines, sewing machines, food mixer machines, etc. they all are mostly using that AC motor which is […]
Amplifier Short/Overload Protection Circuit – 2 Ideas Discussed
Due to some reason if the loudspeaker of a power amplifier gets shorted, that may lead to a fatal damage to the amplifier component. To prevent this an amplifier short circuit protector circuit can be very useful. In the following post I have explained 2 simple amplifier short circuit or overload protection circuits for safeguarding […]
