High Efficiency Solar Charger Circuits using Switching Regulators
Solar power or electricity from sun light is so abundant that we can afford to waste it or dissipate it in the form heat. This means that we can use large, high power solar panels to charge batteries with lower power without bothering about how much solar energy is being wasted and how much the […]
DC to DC Converter Circuits using SG3524 [Buck, Boost Designs]
A DC to DC converter is basically a switch-mode power supply, designed to work either as a boost-converter to step-up a low voltage DC to a higher voltage DC, or as a buck-converter to step-down a higher voltage DC to a lower voltage DC. The switched mode conversion ensures that the power transfer in the […]
