The IC 723 is a general purpose, extremely versatile voltage regulator IC, which can be used for making various types of regulated power supplies such as: Main Features ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS Pinout Functions Pin 1 […]
Voltage Regulator Circuits and Projects
In this article I will comprehensively discuss how to make customized transistorized voltage regulator circuits in fixed modes and also variable modes. All linear power supply circuits which are designed to produce a stabilized, constant voltage and current output fundamentally incorporate transistor and zener diode stages for getting the required regulated outputs. These circuit projects […]
Bidirectional Switch
In this post I have explained about MOSFET bidirectional power switches, which can be used for operating a load across two points bidirectionally. This is simply done by connecting two N-channel, or P-channel MOSFETs back to back in series with the specified voltage line. What is a Bidirectional Switch A bidirectional power switch (BPS) is […]
How to Make Step Down Transformers
A step down transformer is a device which reduces a higher AC potential to a lower AC potential as per its winding ratio and specifications. In this article we are going to discuss how to design and construct a basic step down transformer which are typically applied in mains-operated power supplies. Introduction This will likely […]
