This circuit is capable of providing as high as 25 Amps of current at any specified voltage between 1.25 V to 30V as per the adjustment of the given pot. The current is constant irrespective of the voltage settings. The circuit can be used for charging batteries in range of 50 to 200 AH. How […]
How to Make 1 A Constant Current LED Driver Circuit
In this article I have explained a simple 1 amp constant current LED driver circuit using the IC MBI6651 from MACROBLOCK. The IC has been specifically designed for operating high power LEDs safely by providing a constant current output. The circuit includes very few external components and therefore becomes very easy to assemble at home. […]
Difference Between Alternating Current(AC) and Direct Current(DC)
In this post we try to investigate the mains differences between alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC). The word AC and DC are pretty common with electronics and we all come across it while developing or dealing electronic circuit designs. Overview Though the terms are very ordinary with the field, many noobs become confused […]
