In this post I have explained a simple way to enhance the the XL4015 DC to DC buck converter with an adjustable current limiter, which seems to be missing in the original module. About XL4015 The XL4015 is a 180 KHz fixed frequency PWM buck (step-down) DC/DC converter, specially designed for operating a 5 V, […]

110 V to 310 V Converter Circuit
The discussed circuit is a solid state AC to DC voltage converter that will convert any AC input between 85 V and 250 V into a constant 310 V DC output. This kind of circuits are normally use in LCD TV sets for operating the system through inputs from 100 V AC to 250 AC. […]
5 V to 10 V Converter for TTL Circuits
In this post I have explained a simple 5 V to 10 V converter circuit which can be used in TTL circuits where only 5 V is available and converting this 5 V to 10 V can be extremely useful for operating an adjacent circuit which may require a supply of around 9 V or […]
12 V to 30 V High Current Boost Converter Circuit [Variable]
In this post I have explained how to make a high current boost converter circuit which will step up a 12 V DC to any higher level up to 30 V maximum, and at an impressive 3 amp current rate. This high current output can be further enhanced by suitably upgrading the inductor wire gauge […]
Digital-to-Analog (DAC), Analog-to-Digital (ADC) Converter Circuits Explained
A digital-to-analog converter (DAC, D/A, D2A, or D-to-A) is a circuit designed to convert a digital input signal into an analog output signal. The analog-to-digital converter (ADC) works in the opposite way and transforms an analog input signal into a digital output. In this article I will comprehensively discuss how digital to analog, and analog to digital converter circuits work, using diagrams and formulas. In […]
How to Design a Flyback Converter – Comprehensive Tutorial
A flyback configuration is the preferred topology in SMPS application designs mainly because it guarantees complete isolation of the output DC from the input mains AC. Other features include low manufacturing cost, simpler design and uncomplicated implementation. The low current DCM version of flyback converters which include output specification lower than 50 watt are more […]
