Here I have explained about a simple switch mode power supply (SMPS) circuit which is capable of delivering 3.3V, 5V, 9V at around 800mA from a Mains input range of 100V to 285V, with a complete isolation. The functioning of the proposed 3.3V, 5V, 9V flyback SMPS Circuit may be understood by going through the […]

How Buck Converters Work
The article below presents a comprehensive know how regarding how buck converters work. As the name suggests, a buck converter is designed to oppose or restrict an input current causing an output that may be much lower than the supplied input. In other words it can be considered a step down converter which could be […]
Ferrite Core Material Selection Guide for SMPS
In this post I have explained how to select ferrite core material with the correct specifications for ensuring proper compatibility with a given SMPS circuit design Why Ferrite Core Ferrite is a wonderful core substance for transformers, inverters and inductors in the frequency spectrum 20 kHz to 3 MHz, owing to the benefits of reduced […]
SMPS Voltage Stabilizer Circuit
In this article I have explained a solid state switch-mode mains voltage stabilizer circuit without relays, using a ferrite core boost converter and a couple of half-bridge mosfet driver circuits. The idea was requested by Mr. McAnthony Bernard. Technical Specifications Of late i started looking at voltage stabilizers use in house hold to regulate utility […]
How to Modify SMPS for Adjustable Current and Voltage Output
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 […]
