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 […]
Build this 85Vā265V AC to 12V 5A SMPS Design Using UC3843 (With Calculations)
This thing is a full SMPS design using UC3843, which takes wide AC input from 85V AC to 265V AC, then gives out 12V DC at 5A, so now it is like a universal input supply, which can be used for 110V AC supplies and also for 220V AC input supplies… Input Protection Stage At […]
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 […]
