High Voltage, High Current Buck Converter Circuit using Isolated Gate Driver
This is a high voltage 310V to 60V buck converter, so we have that big 310V DC coming in which we usually get after rectifying 220V AC mains. So now that high DC is there and we want to push it down to something like 60V or lower for battery charging or similar work. Audio/Video […]
Transformerless Current-Controlled LED Bulb Circuits you can Build at Home
In this post I have elaborately explained how to build simple transformerless LED bulb circuits using many LEDs in series and powering them through current controlled capacitive power supply circuit. Warning: Circuits I have explained below are not isolated from mains AC, and therefore are extremely dangerous to touch in the powered and open condition. […]
2 Best Current Limiter Circuits Explained
In this post I have explained 2 simple universal current controller circuits which can be used for safely operating any desired high watt LED. The universal high watt LED current limiter circuit explained here can be integrated with any crude DC supply source for getting an outstanding over current protection for the connected high watt […]
100 Watt LED Constant Current Driver Circuit Diagram
You might have probably come across these fantastic high power, high efficiency LED modules and wondered how do you make these? Here I have explained how to make a 100 watt LED flashlight out of it? Introduction The article revises the datasheet of this LED module and explains a simple driver circuit which can be […]
3 Watt, 5 Watt LED DC to DC Constant Current Driver Circuit
The following article provides a simple yet very decent solution for driving powerful LEDs rated at 3 watt or 5 watt. Circuit Objective These 3 watt 5 watt and similar high watt LEDs are able to produce highly intense and powerful light outputs, however these are extremely vulnerable too with their operating parameter. I have […]
