In this article we are going to see a simple SMPS circuit diagram which is using UC3843 IC. This circuit can convert 85V AC to 285V AC input into stable 12V DC output. UC3843 is very popular current mode PWM controller IC used in many power supply circuits. Below we will discuss full working and […]

12V 5 Amp Fixed Voltage Regulator IC 78H12A Datasheet
The post explains the technical specifications, datasheet, and application notes of the IC 78H12A which is a voltage regulator IC capable of providing a fixed regulated 12V output at maximum 5 amp current. 5 Amp Regulator Specifications We are familiar with the popular 78XX ICs such as the 7812 IC which can produce 12V fixed voltage at […]
220V AC to 12V DC Flyback SMPS Circuit using IC 555 (7555)
This practical flyback SMPS circuit uses ICM7555 as the main oscillator, and yep the whole idea is to take 220V AC mains directly then convert it into isolated low voltage DC through a ferrite transformer.. Unlike many PWM controller designs, here we have very few parts but still it gives mains isolation, voltage feedback, current […]
20 Watt Fluorescent Tube Light Circuit with 12V Battery Operation
This simple 20 watt home tube light circuit will work with any 12V battery and uses very few components yet is able to produce a reasonable amount of white light. The components used are very common and can be easily procured from the local electronic retailer. The idea is simple, the secondary winding of Tr1 […]

0.6V to 6V/12V Boost Converter Circuit Diagram
In this post I have explained how to make a 0.6V to 6V or 12V boost converter circuit using a single chip MC74VHC1G14, which uses under 1V to operate. About the IC MC74VHC1G14 Normally, we all know that a silicon transistor would find it difficult functioning below 0.7V, unlike germanium counterparts which are capable of doing it […]
