Simple 12V, 1A SMPS Circuit
In the following content I have explained two simple 12V, 1 Amp switch mode power supply (SMPS) circuit using the very reliable VIPerXX IC from ST microelectronics. With the advent of modern ICs and circuits, the age old iron transformer type of power supply are surely becoming obsolete. Today power supplies are much compact, smaller […]
Adjustable 3V, 5V, 6V, 9V,12V,15V Dual Power Supply Circuit
The purpose of this paper is to detail a variable dual lab power supply circuit which has an adjustable range from 3V, 5V, 6V, 9V, 12V, and 15V or even more at an output current rate of 1 amp. Written By: Dhrubajyoti Biswas The Dual Power Supply Concept In regard to positive volt it is […]
0 to 50V, 0 to 10amp Variable Dual Power Supply Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple yet very useful 0 to 50V dual power supply circuit which will enable a full 0 to maximum dual voltage +/- control of the input power supply DC. It also includes a wide range current control feature right from 0 to 10 amps. The idea was requested […]
Mains 220 V AC Line Filter Circuit for Transient Suppression
The 220 V mains AC line filter circuit described here has two functions: it prevents high-frequency waves from being sent back into the power network and it protects connected equipment from power line disturbances and surges. This circuit employs a number of components, such as capacitors, resistors, inductors, and a varistor, which are deliberately positioned […]
Simple Buck Converter Circuits using Transistors
In this post I have explained some basic facts about DC to DC buck converters and also learn how to build a simple buck converter circuit. A buck converter is also popularly known as a step-down converter, since its basic function is to step down a higher input voltage level to a lower output voltage […]
