In this post I have explained regarding what’s ripple current in power supply circuits, what causes it and how it can be reduced or eliminated using smoothing capacitor. What’s Ripple in Power Supply Circuits In all AC to DC power supplies the DC output is acquired by rectifying the AC input power and filtering through […]

Force Sensing Resistor Circuit Explained
In this article we are going to see, what force sensing resistor is, their construction, specification and finally how to interface it with Arduino microcontroller. We will also study a couple of comparator circuits based on 741 and LM311 ICs, for operating a relay using force sensitive resistor. What is Force Sensing Resistor A force […]
Simple Touch Operated Potentiometer Circuit
In this touch operated potentiometer circuit we have two touch pads, which produce a slowly increasing voltage at the output when one touch pad is touched, and a decreasing voltage when the other touch pad is touched. When the touch contact is removed the voltage holds at that particular increased or decreased level “permanently”. Touch […]
Modifying XL4015 Buck Converter with an Adjustable Current Limiter
In this post I have explained a simple way to enhance the the XL4015 DC to DC buck converter with an adjustable current limiter, which seems to be missing in the original module. About XL4015 The XL4015 is a 180 KHz fixed frequency PWM buck (step-down) DC/DC converter, specially designed for operating a 5 V, […]
Switching Boost Converter Circuit using IC MAX732
The proposed boost converter circuit using MAX732 IC will allow you to have a continuous voltage of 12V with a current of 150 or 200 mA. The input voltage can be between 4.5 to 9 V, which can be produced by three 1.5V batteries, for example. The circuit is quite simple, we will be using […]
