Neon Lamps – Working and Application Circuits
A neon lamp is a glow lamp made up of a glass cover, fixed with a pair of segregated electrodes and containing an inert gas (neon or argon). The main application of a neon lamp is in the form of indicator lamps or pilot lamps. When supplied with a low voltage, the resistance between the […]
High Efficiency Li-Ion LED Driver Circuits Explained
In this post I have explained a high efficiency 1.5 V to 4.2 V LED driver circuits which can be used with a standard Li-Ion battery for enhanced illumination, extended battery backup and long battery life. Main Features Using IC LT1932 The IC LT1932 is a fixed frequency step-up DC/DC converter intended to function as […]
Build Customized 220V Flyback SMPS Circuits: 12V, 5A, 60W Example Discussed
In this post I will explain you all the simple formulas, step by step, which you can use for designing and building professional grade 220V AC SMPS flyback converter circuits. As we know the SMPS transformer is the heart of an SMPS design, so here we will learn all the steps, one by step, using […]
How to Calculate Transformerless Power Supply Circuits
In this article I have explained how to calculate resistor and capacitor values in transformerless power supply circuits using simple formulas like ohms law. Analyzing a Capactive Power Supply Before I have explained the formula for calculating and optimizing resistor and capacitor values in a transformerless power supply, it would be important to first summarize […]
5 Easy 1 Watt LED Driver Circuits
In this post I have explained about a few easy to build, compact 1 watt LED bulb circuits. The first circuit is SMPS based, the second design uses a capacitive power supply, while the remaining concepts show how to used a DC source to illuminate a 1 watt LED. Warning: Many of the circuits I […]
