24V to 12V DC Converter Circuit [using Switching Regulator]
The DC to DC converter circuit described below can be used to convert a 24 V DC source into a 12 V DC output with high efficiency. Meaning, the circuit will allow to acquire a 12 V DC from a 24 V DC source with negligible power loss. Being a switching regulator, this circuit is […]
1.5V to 12V DC Converter Circuit Diagram for LEDs
The post provides interesting information regarding the making of a 1.5V to 12V converter circuit using a couple of transistors and an inexpensive coil. The idea was requested by Mr. Keith. The Circuit Request I found your blog and have searched for an answer to my question but I’m just not finding it…. What I want to do […]
5 Simple DC Motor Speed Controller Circuits Explained
A circuit which enables a user to linearly control the speed of a connected motor by rotating an attached potentiometer is called a motor speed controller circuit. 5 easy to build speed controller circuits for DC motors are presented here, first one using MOSFET IRF540, second one using IC 555, the third concept with IC […]
Inductors in AC/DC Circuits Explained
In this post I have explained the response of inductors to DC and AC voltages as well as when applied with capacitors which is often used as a complementing part with an inductor. Properties of Inductor Inductors are known for their property of storing electrical energy in them in the form of magnetic energy. This […]
