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 […]
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 […]
50A High Current Sensor IC ACS758: Circuit Diagram
So in this post we will try to understand everything about ACS758 current sensor, how this works, how we can use it, what is the technical specs, what is inside this IC and how to use in real circuits etc. This ACS758 is actually made by Allegro Microsystems and this is a very strong and […]
High Current Transformerless Power Supply Circuit
The simple configuration of a transformerless power supply circuit presented below is able to provide high current at any assigned fixed voltage level. The idea seems to have solved the problem of deriving high current from capacitive power supplies which earlier seemed a difficult proposition. Introduction I have discussed a few transformerless power supply circuits […]
Step-Down Adjustable Voltage, Current Regulator Circuit using LM2673
The LM2673 series of regulators is a collection of monolithic integrated circuits that are designed to provide all the active functions needed for making a step-down, or buck converter, switching regulator circuit. This means that they are capable of driving loads of up to 3 amps while maintaining excellent line and load regulation characteristics. One […]
