If you have ever tried building a high-power inverter, a high-frequency induction heater, or just a solid adjustable lab bench power supply, you already know that controlling both the voltage and current at the same time is an absolute nightmare. Most builders just grab the standard application circuit from the SG3525 datasheet, wire up a […]

How to Add Adjustable Current and Voltage feedback Control to SG3525 High Power Inverters
If you want to build a very heavy power inverter or when you want to make a high frequency induction heater, or when you want to make a lab grade variable SMPS, then getting precise control over both output voltage and current is a major engineering hurdle. Most standard designs using the classic SG3525 PWM […]
Adjustable 1.2V to100V DC Buck Converter Circuit using LM5164
Ok now we have this LM5164 chip, and we want to drop voltage from 100V down to let’s say 12V, right? But we also need 1A output so we need to design everything properly. Now this chip is cool because it has ultra-low quiescent current (IQ) so it does not waste much power when it […]
Step-Down Adjustable Voltage, Current Regulator Circuit using LM2673
The LM2673 series of regulators is a collection of monolithic integrated circuits that are designed to provide all the active functions needed for making a step-down, or buck converter, switching regulator circuit. This means that they are capable of driving loads of up to 3 amps while maintaining excellent line and load regulation characteristics. One […]
Adjustable Voltage Regulator Circuit using LM324 IC with Over Current Protection
In this post I have explained how a single LM324 IC can be used to create an adjustable voltage regulator circuit with overload and over current protections. Basic Working A basic IC LM324 quad operational amplifier regulates an unregulated 28-volt input source to approximately ±0.02%, resulting in a 1 amp 0 to -20 V supply. The […]
