These AC to DC power supplies use a single chip to convert mains 220 V or 120 V input AC into 12 V or 5 V DC without depending on a transformer. Three simple yet efficient 220V single chip based solid state transformerless adjustable solid-state power supply circuits are discussed here. The first one works […]

1.5V Power Supply Circuit Diagram for Wall Clock
The post presents a simple transformerless 1.5V DC power supply circuit which can be used for powering wall clocks directly from mains, and also keep a stand by back-up cell fully charged for enabling an uninterrupted operation of the clock even during mains failures. The idea was requested by Cheekin Warning: This circuit is not […]
LM317 Variable Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS)
So far in this website we have studied LM317 based linear power supply circuits, here I have explained how an LM317 can be executed as a variable switch mode power or SMPS with zero loss. LM317 as Linear Regulator We all know that an LM317 IC is internally designed to work as a linear voltage […]
0-60V LM317HV Variable Power Supply Circuit Diagram
The high voltage LM317HV series of ICs will allow to go beyond the traditional voltage limits of an LM317 IC and enable controlling supplies that may be as high as 60V. 0-60V Regulation with a Single IC LM317 Therefore now you can build a universal 0-60V regulated power supply circuit loaded with all the essential […]
How to Design an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Circuit
In this brief tutorial I have explained how to design a customized UPS circuit at home using ordinary components such as a few NAND ICs and a some relays. What is an UPS UPS which stands for uninterruptible power supply are inverters designed to provide a seamless AC mains power to a connected load without […]
