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 […]

5V, 12V Buck Converter Circuit SMPS 220V
This step down buck converter will convert a 220V AC input from mains supply to 5V or 12V or 24V DC with 90% efficiency. The proposed buck converter is an SMPS circuit using the IC VIPer12A from STMicroelectronics. The circuit uses negligible number of external components yet is able to operate directly from mains AC input. The Buck […]
3 Tested 220V High and Low Voltage Cut OFF Circuits Using IC LM324 and Transistors
An AC mains high/low cut-off device will cut off or disconnect the mains supply from home electrical whenever a high voltage or low voltage situation is detected. In this way it ensures total safety to the home wiring and appliances from fire hazards, due to abnormal over voltages, brown outs or low voltages. In this […]
AC 220V Over Current Monitor and Cut OFF Circuit
The proposed AC mains 220 V load over current cut off circuit continuously monitors the current flowing through a connected load. If this current increases beyond a certain preset level, the circuit trips the relay and disconnects the load from the AC. Basic Working This 220 V over current cut off circuit is indeed subject […]
3 Solid-State Single IC 220V Adjustable Power Supply Circuits
These AC to DC power supplies use a single chip to convert mains 220 V or 120 V input AC into 12 V or 5 V DC without depending on a transformer. Three simple yet efficient 220V single chip based solid state transformerless adjustable solid-state power supply circuits are discussed here. The first one works […]
How to Build a 220V DC Inverter UPS Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple 220 V to 220V DC online UPS inverter circuit. The idea was requested by Mr. Taiye. Technical Specifications I intend to build a 1000 watt UPS with a different concept (inverter with high voltage input dc). I will use a battery bank of 18 to 20 sealed […]
