This article discusses a method through which any ready made SMPS can be converted into a variable current smps circuit using a few external jumper links. In one of the previous articles I have explained how to make a variable voltage SMPS circuit by employing a simple shunt regulators stage, in the present hack also […]

How to Make Dog Barking Preventer Circuit using High Frequency Deterrence
The discussed circuits are designed to discourage dogs from barking in the selected zone by the generation of a synchronized ultrasonic sound waves in response to a few initial barking of a particular dog. The circuits explained below when correctly optimized will produce a high pitched ultra sonic sound each time it senses a dog […]
SG 3525 Automatic PWM Voltage Regulation Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple configuration which can be added with all SG 3525/3524 inverter circuits for implementing automatic PWM output voltage regulation by the IC. The solution was requested by Mr. Felix Anthony. The Circuit Problem: Sir, I would need your help on a project about a schematic that I do […]
0 to 99 Digital Pulse Counter Circuit Diagrams
The proposed 00-99 digital pulse counter circuit becomes very handy in places where you need to keep the people organized in some specified order. Operating details of the digital counter As may be referred the circuit employs the popular 555 IC to genearte the pulse clocks. The pulse counting is done with the help of […]
3 Frequency to Voltage Converter Circuits Explained
As the name suggests frequency to voltage converters are devices that convert a varying frequency input into a correspondingly varying output voltage levels. Here we study three easy yet advanced designs using IC 4151, IC VFC32 and IC LM2907. 1) Using IC 4151 This frequency voltage converter circuit using IC 4151 is characterized by its […]
220V/120V LED String Light Circuit using a Single Capacitor
In this post I have explained how to make a LED string light which can be operated from 220V mains through a single inexpensive PPC capacitor. The idea was requested by Mr. Basit Momin.WE STRICTLY CAUTION YOU THAT YOU BUILD THIS CIRCUIT ONLY IF YOU ARE AWARE OF THE DANGERS OF MAINS AC AND KNOW […]
