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 […]

How to Use IC LM393 as a Current Controller Circuit
In this post we will understand a current controller and current limiter circuit using the IC LM393 comparator. This circuit is using a low power voltage comparator integrated circuit LM393 and one power Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor, so the idea is simple but the working looks a little deep when we see it […]
How to Sense Current Using Op-Amp: Low Side and High Side Circuits Explained
In this post we are going to learn one very interesting and also very much useful topic that is how we can measure the current which is going through any load by just using some normal resistors and one op amp circuit. We know already that current is one very important thing in every electrical […]
ACS712 Current Sensor Circuit Diagrams and Datasheet
Here we are going to learn one cool and very important current sensor device which we call ACS712. This small chip that look just like a normal 8-pin IC, is actually able to sense current from any load and give us a proportional analog voltage output which we can easily feed to Arduino or any […]
7 Watt LED Driver SMPS Circuit – Current Controlled
The presented 7 watt LED driver circuit is an SMPS based non-isolated, transformerless circuit which ensures a safe current controlled output for the attached LED, it is very affordable to build without involving complex transformer winding. Constant Current and Load Regulation Objective The aim behind the design of the IC TPS92310 (from TEXAS INSTRUMENTS) is […]
How to Modify SMPS for Adjustable Current and Voltage Output
This article discusses a method through which any ready made SMPS can be converted into a variable current smps circuit using a few external jumper links. In one of the previous articles I have explained how to make a variable voltage SMPS circuit by employing a simple shunt regulators stage, in the present hack also […]
