Make this EV Battery Charger Circuit
In this post I will explain how to build and test a homemade yet very professional looking high power EV battery charger transmitter circuit using H-bridge fixed-frequency AC inverter topology, driving a series-resonant LC tank. I will also explain how to build a complementing EV charger receiver circuit for receiving the charging current from the […]
LC Resonance Calculator for EV Battery Charger Circuits
This calculator helps estimate resonant frequency or compensation capacitor for a wireless EV charging primary coil. It is for first-step design and learning, not final tuning… Calculator by homemade-circuits.com EV Wireless LC Resonance Calculator EV Wireless LC Resonance Calculator Calculate: Resonant Frequency (Hz)Capacitance (µF)Inductance (µH) First Value: Primary Inductance µHCapacitance µFFrequency Hz Second Value: Primary […]
Automotive Display LED-backlight Driver Circuit using LP8864-Q1
The LP8864-Q1 is this cool automotive high-efficiency LED driver that comes with a boost controller. Basically it is made to efficiently power the LEDs in your car. It has got these four high-precision current sinks that do something called phase shifting. What is neat is that this phase shifting automatically adjusts based on how many […]
