How to Make a 220V to 110V Converter Circuit
In this post we will unravel a few homemade crude 220V to 110V converter circuits options which will enable to user the user use it for operating small gadgets with a different voltage specs. UPDATE: An SMPS circuit is the recommended option for building this converter, so for an SMPS 220V to 110V converter design […]
2 Compact 12V 2 Amp SMPS Circuit for LED Driver
In this post I will comprehensively discuss a 2 simple 12V 2 amp SMPS circuit using the IC UC2842. We study a 2 amp flyback design by evaluating various formulas, which provides the exact selection details for the transformer winding and the parts specifications. Design#1: Introduction The first design is based on the versatile IC VIPer53-E. […]
7 Watt LED Driver SMPS Circuit – Current Controlled
The presented 7 watt LED driver circuit is an SMPS based non-isolated, transformerless circuit which ensures a safe current controlled output for the attached LED, it is very affordable to build without involving complex transformer winding. Constant Current and Load Regulation Objective The aim behind the design of the IC TPS92310 (from TEXAS INSTRUMENTS) is […]
Make this 3.3V, 5V, 9V SMPS Circuit
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 […]
