In this post I will be talking about one famous voltage regulator IC called AMS1117. It is a 1 Amp Low Dropout (LDO) Linear Voltage Regulator and we can get it in both fixed output types and also adjustable output version. It is super small, easy to use and available in SOT-223 package mostly, which […]

SCR/Triac Controlled Automatic Voltage Stabilizer Circuit
In this article I have explained a relatively simple triac controlled automatic mains voltage stabilizer circuit, which uses logic ICs and a few triacs for controlling the mains voltage levels. Why Solid State Being solid state in design, the voltage switching transitions are very smooth with minimum wear and tear, resulting in efficient voltage stabilization. […]
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 […]
PWM Controlled Voltage Stabilizer Circuit
In this post I have explained how to make a high power 100V to 220V H-bridge mains voltage stabilizer circuit using automatic PWM control. The idea was requested by Mr. Sajjad. Circuit Objectives and Requirements Secondary Features I like it to has an LCD to display parameters and a custom name,high voltage cut off, over […]
TPS24710/11/12/13 Hot-Swap Controller Circuit Explained
When we talk about hot-swap controllers, it is basically an electronic device or integrated circuit (IC) that allows you to the insert or/and remove circuit boards, modules or parts within an active system without having you to switch off the system. It regulates the surge current whenever a component is installed and protects from short […]
Simple Boost Converter Circuit Diagrams using Transistors
In this post I have explained a few very simple boost converter circuits using only BJTs, or transistors. Let’s learn more. What is a Boost Converter A DC boost converter circuit is designed for stepping-up or boosting a small input voltage levels to a desired higher output voltage level, hence the name “boost” converter. Since […]
