We many times think that how we can make a SMPS circuit, and we feel that this is very complex. But that is not so because we can do this by following simple manual calculations step by step. We only need to know that SMPS design is always starting from the transformer. We cannot make […]
220V
Diwali, Christmas 220V Lamp Chaser Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple, compact, 220V, 120V transformerless light chaser circuit which can be used for illuminating 220 V mains operated lamps or bulbs in a sequential chasing manner. Main Technical Features The chasing or running lamp effect can be altered by means of pot controls. The system can be used […]
220V Operated LED Flasher Circuit using Triac
The following triac/diac based mains operated LED flasher circuit which is actually an astable multivibrator circuit utilizes only a diac and resistor arrangement for implementing interesting wig wag flashing of two LEDs. The simple 220V flasher circuit was shared with me by Mr.Vineesh, who is one of the keen followers of this blog. I would […]
220V SMPS Cell Phone Charger Circuit
In this post I have explained how to make a simple, cheap yet extremely reliable smps based 220V/120V mains operated cell phone charger circuit. Why TNYxxx Tiny Switch is Used The TNY series of tiny switch ICs provide us with an option of making perhaps the smallest possible smps circuits with high reliability. The tiny […]
How to Make a 220V to 110V Converter Circuit
In this post we will unravel a few homemade crude 220V to 110V converter circuits options which will enable to user the user use it for operating small gadgets with a different voltage specs. UPDATE: An SMPS circuit is the recommended option for building this converter, so for an SMPS 220V to 110V converter design […]
Make this 220V to 12V SMPS Using UC2842 IC
This UC2842 IC based SMPS design is simple, cheap and efficient kind of isolated power supply. We can use it in off-line stuff like AC-DC adapters, battery chargers and all those small power supplies. What is cool? It takes that high voltage AC then steps it down and then keeps input and output fully isolated […]
