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 […]
