In this post I have explained an LED controller circuit having a boost and dimming facility specifically designed for underwater shooting application. The idea was requested by Mr. Svein. The Circuit Request I came across your blog at https://www.homemade-circuits.com and thought I’d ask you a question regarding building or modifying a LED driver. I planning […]

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 […]
Simple Buck-Boost Converter Circuits Explained
In this post I have explained s few simple DC to DC buck-boost converter circuits which can be used for either stepping up the input DC voltage or stepping down the input DC voltage to specific output DC voltage levels. Since a buck-boost converter allows the input voltage to be either stepped up or stepped […]
BQ24295 Smart Battery Charger IC with Boost + OTG
This BQ24295 IC is like a super smart charger chip. This one is not just for charging battery, but also doing many other jobs like boost converter, USB detection, power path control, and even OTG (host power supply). So we can say that this is a full battery charging and power management IC. Let us […]
Smart Buck-Boost MPPT Solar Charger Circuit for 12V 24V Battery
In this post we are going to learn how we can make one real working smart solar battery charger circuit which can do MPPT charging. We are using Arduino Nano as the brain for controlling everything. We will also use INA219 sensor module so that we can read the solar voltage and current properly. And […]
12 V to 19 V Boost Converter Circuit
In this post I have explained how to build a simple 12 V to 19 V boost converter circuit which can used to charge a 19 V battery from a 12 V car battery. The main application of this circuit could be for the charging of a laptop battery from a car battery, How the […]
