Today we are going to look into a very high efficiency resonant-mode off-line LED driver circuit. It is based on a very popular Infineon article which uses the IRS2530D DIM8 controller IC. Normally electronic ballast technology is used for old fluorescent tube lights, but here Infineon used the same concept to drive high power LEDs […]

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 […]
Control a Relay ON OFF Using SIM Card, Mobile Phone, and Arduino
This project I will explain how we can control a relay remotely using a SIM card and a normal mobile phone, with help of Arduino and a GSM module. The relay can be turned ON or OFF by sending an SMS or by making a phone call to the SIM card placed inside the GSM […]
How To Use Triac For AC Power Control
Here we are talking about controlling things like lamps, motors, heaters, and other similar electrical loads. The devices we use for this purpose are called thyristor and triac, OK? Both these devices, thyristor and triac, they can actually do this job like simple switch ON/OFF or they can also adjust the power given to these […]
Control Lights, Fan, using TV Remote [Full Circuit Diagram]
In today’s world, the idea of control is strongly connected to the ability to use remote devices. Home automation, known as domotics, allows us to switch ON/OFF various things such as televisions, hi-fi systems, blinds, curtains, garage gates, and even the brightness of lights using a small control unit. The signals for controlling these devices […]
Sound Activated Remote Control Circuit
This sound activated remote control circuit can be used to operate any electrical load ON/OFF, through a double sound command. Thus, the circuit ensures that the load cannot be operated through any random single sound triggers, which makes the circuit very fool proof. Our device will require two shifted sound commands. However, the second sound […]
