The LM338 is an adjustable 3-terminal positive voltage regulator capable of providing up to 5 amperes of output current. To increase the output current capability, you can connect multiple LM338 ICs in parallel. When you connect them in parallel, each IC will share the load current, allowing you to achieve higher total current handling capacity. […]

12V Battery Charger Circuits [using LM317, LM338, L200, Transistors]
In this article I will be discussing a list of simple 12V battery charger circuits which are very easy and cheap by its design yet extremely accurate with its output voltage and current specs. All the designs presented here are current controlled meaning their outputs will never go beyond a predetermined fixed current level. UPDATE: […]
24V to 12V DC Converter Circuit [using Switching Regulator]
The DC to DC converter circuit described below can be used to convert a 24 V DC source into a 12 V DC output with high efficiency. Meaning, the circuit will allow to acquire a 12 V DC from a 24 V DC source with negligible power loss. Being a switching regulator, this circuit is […]
High Efficiency Solar Charger Circuits using Switching Regulators
Solar power or electricity from sun light is so abundant that we can afford to waste it or dissipate it in the form heat. This means that we can use large, high power solar panels to charge batteries with lower power without bothering about how much solar energy is being wasted and how much the […]
