So here we are talking about one small board called T856-C. We use this little module when we want to make one DIY power bank at home, like those we use to charge phones and other USB things. It can charge one 3.7V Li-ion battery like 18650 and also give us 5V output to run […]

Adjustable 1.2V to100V DC Buck Converter Circuit using LM5164
Ok now we have this LM5164 chip, and we want to drop voltage from 100V down to let’s say 12V, right? But we also need 1A output so we need to design everything properly. Now this chip is cool because it has ultra-low quiescent current (IQ) so it does not waste much power when it […]
Make this 220V to 12V SMPS Using UC2842 IC
This UC2842 IC based SMPS design is simple, cheap and efficient kind of isolated power supply. We can use it in off-line stuff like AC-DC adapters, battery chargers and all those small power supplies. What is cool? It takes that high voltage AC then steps it down and then keeps input and output fully isolated […]
H-Bridge Sine Wave Inverter Circuit using Arduino
In this article I will explain how we can build an Arduino-controlled H-Bridge sine wave inverter circuit using some easy parts. So this thing will basically convert DC into AC but in a way that looks like a sine wave, right? We are using an Arduino to generate PWM signals and these signals will drive […]
Explained: MAX4466 Electret Microphone Amplifier Module with Adjustable Gain
In this post we will be talking about this MAX4466 microphone amplifier module, right? So this is a tiny little circuit that can amplify weak sound signals from an electret condenser microphone (ECM). That means it is going to take a very small electrical signal from the microphone and then boost it up so we […]
Designing a Power Factor Correction (PFC) Circuit Using UC3854 – Key Considerations
The IC UC3854, what it does is, it helps in active power factor correction, right? Now normally, if we don’t correct the power factor, then power system will pull current from the AC mains in a way that’s not a nice sine wave but rather distorted. This IC takes care of all the control stuff […]
