LM35 Pinout, Datasheet, Application Circuit
In this post I have explained how to make an LM35 application circuit by understanding its datasheet, pinouts and other technical specifications. By: SS kopparthy LM35 Main Specifications The IC LM35 is a temperature measuring device that looks like a transistor (most popular package is TO-92 package). This device is found in most of the […]
Power Factor Correction (PFC) Circuit – Tutorial
In this post I have explained the different methods of configuring a power factor correction circuit or a PFC circuit in SMPS designs, and explains the best practice options for these topologies so that it complies with the modern PFC restriction guidelines. Designing efficient power supply circuits have never been easy, however in the course […]
Using Treadmill Exercise Bike to Charge Batteries
In this post I have explained how to use an exercise bike or a treadmill for charging a battery through a simple shunt regulator circuit with full charge cut-off feature. The idea was proposed by Mr. Peter Jaffe. Exercise Bike for Charging Battery I have been following your circuit tips for a little while. Very […]
Transistor Zener Diode Circuit for Handling High Current Stabilization
The high power “zener diode” circuit using transistor shunt regulator presented here can be used for obtaining a highly accurate, temperature and voltage stabilized outputs from high current sources, safely. Normal Zener Limitation The low power zener diodes that we normally use in electronic circuits are specified to work with low currents, and therefore cannot […]
Making a Stethoscope Amplifier Circuit
In this post I have explained how to make an electronic stethoscope amplifier circuit for enabling a loud audible reproduction of the heart beats which is being diagnosed. The article also reveals how the same can be applied within a cellphone through a wireless circuit. The idea was requested by Dr. Ankit. Main Requirements The […]
