Flashlight Circuit with Long Backup and High Efficiency
There are two main advantages of this highly efficient flashlight circuit with long backup. Firstly, it uses only a single 1.5V AAA cell and illuminates a 3.3V LED. Secondly, the 1.5V cell is consumed by the LED until there’s virtually no charge left in it. Due to these features, this flashlight is able to last […]
High Efficiency Li-Ion LED Driver Circuits Explained
In this post I have explained a high efficiency 1.5 V to 4.2 V LED driver circuits which can be used with a standard Li-Ion battery for enhanced illumination, extended battery backup and long battery life. Main Features Using IC LT1932 The IC LT1932 is a fixed frequency step-up DC/DC converter intended to function as […]
High Voltage Constant Current Source Circuit
The presented circuit offers an adjustable constant current source capable of reaching up to 60mA, operating at voltages as high as 350V. Circuit Description The input stage, consisting of resistor R1 and zener diode ZD1, delivers 8V to the regulator (a 7805), maintaining this voltage relative to its reference line. This voltage level ensures sufficient […]
High Voltage DC Motor Speed Regulator Circuit
In the realm of motor control systems, high voltage DC motors play a crucial role in numerous industrial and automotive applications. Efficiently controlling the speed of these motors while ensuring operator safety and isolating sensitive components can be a challenging task. However, with the advent of advanced technologies, such as optocoupler motor controller power stages, […]
High Efficiency Solar Charger Circuits using Switching Regulators
Solar power or electricity from sun light is so abundant that we can afford to waste it or dissipate it in the form heat. This means that we can use large, high power solar panels to charge batteries with lower power without bothering about how much solar energy is being wasted and how much the […]
