In the following post I have explained two straightforward dummy load circuits: the first one can be used for testing high current power supplies, and the second design can be used for testing large power amplifiers. Suppose you have a 10 amp power supply and you want to confirm the 10 amp output through some […]
Newly Updated Circuit Projects:
Switching Two Alternate Loads ON/OFF with IC 555
In this post I have explained how to make a simple IC 555 based alternate relay timer circuit for toggling a couple of loads alternately with a specified length of delay, as determined by the calculated values of the relevant components. The idea was requested by Mr. Sanjoy. Circuit Objectives and Requirements The Design Referring […]
One Transistor Automatic Battery Charger Circuit
This one transistor cheap battery charger circuit is designed to automatically switch OFF the supply to the battery as soon as the battery has reached its full charge level. A very simple single transistor automatic battery charger circuit is I have I have explained in this article, which uses just a single transistor for the […]
LED Strobe Light Circuit with Chasing, Flashing Effects
The proposed LED strobe light circuit will not only flash a group of LEDs with strobe pulses, but will also create a sequentially chasing effect over the strobing LEDs. You might be quite familiar with colorful LED strobe lights, and should have seen them pretty commonly in parties and discotheques. Let’s see how we can […]
Self Regulating Battery Charger Circuit
In this post I have explained how a neat little self regulating automatic battery charger circuit can be made using just two inexpensive transistors. This circuit will automatically regulate the charging supply to the battery depending on its charge level, by switching the input supply ON and OFF periodically. How it Works As can be […]
Lead Acid Battery Charger Circuits
The lead acid battery charger circuits I have explained in this article can be used for charging all types of lead acid batteries at a specified rate. This article explains a few lead acid battery charger circuits with automatic over charge, and low discharge cut off. All these designs are thoroughly tested and can be […]
