What’s Ripple Current in Power Supplies
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 […]
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 […]
SMPS 2 x 50V 350W Circuit for Audio Power Amplifiers
This article will illustrate a simple procedure to devise an unregulated 50V switching SMPS symmetric power supply of 350W. This unit can be substituted with the standard audio amplifier power supply to reduce expense and also the weight. The proposed power supply works as a half-bridge with no regulation.
