The simple configuration of a transformerless power supply circuit presented below is able to provide high current at any assigned fixed voltage level. The idea seems to have solved the problem of deriving high current from capacitive power supplies which earlier seemed a difficult proposition. Introduction I have discussed a few transformerless power supply circuits […]

Adjustable 0-100V 50 Amp SMPS Circuit
The high power adjustable switching power supply is perfect for the purpose of laboratory work. The topology used to design the system is switching topology – half controlled bridge. Written and Submitted by: Dhrubajyoti Biswas Warning: The following circuit design works with a direct 220 V Mains AC without any isolation at the input side, […]
Step-Down Adjustable Voltage, Current Regulator Circuit using LM2673
The LM2673 series of regulators is a collection of monolithic integrated circuits that are designed to provide all the active functions needed for making a step-down, or buck converter, switching regulator circuit. This means that they are capable of driving loads of up to 3 amps while maintaining excellent line and load regulation characteristics. One […]
Simple Boost Converter Circuit Diagrams using Transistors
In this post I have explained a few very simple boost converter circuits using only BJTs, or transistors. Let’s learn more. What is a Boost Converter A DC boost converter circuit is designed for stepping-up or boosting a small input voltage levels to a desired higher output voltage level, hence the name “boost” converter. Since […]
PIR Controlled Solar Garden Light Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple automatic PIR controlled solar garden light circuit which will switch ON the LEDs only under two conditions: when it is completely dark and when a human being is detected in the vicinity. The above feature of the circuit ensures that the LEDs are turned ON only when […]
3 Laser Beam Controlled Circuits Explored
A compact, battery-powered transmitter emits a LASER beam when the control push button is activated. The beam is frequency-coded to provide a maximum level of reliability in transmission. The receiver can be located at a considerable distance from the transmitter (up to several tens of meters). The light beam, by definition, remains highly focused, and […]
