In this article I have explained a simple high voltage meter circuit which can be used for measuring extremely high voltages in the order of many 1000s of volts. The circuit can be used to measure high voltages from CDI units, Automobile spark plugs, high voltage generators, mosquito bat circuits, fence chargers, room ionizer circuits […]

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 […]
How to Drive High Watt LEDs with Arduino
In this post I have explained the method of incorporating high watt LEDs with Arduino through external high voltage supplies. The question was put forth by Mr. Cole. The Circuit Question I stumbled upon your blog and I love it! So much great information and great ideas Right now I am trying to figure out […]
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 […]
Mains High Low Voltage Protection Circuit with Delay Monitor
In this post I have explained an upgraded version of my previous mains 220V/120V high-low voltage cut off protection circuit which now includes a delayed restoration of power for the load with 3 LED power status indicators. The idea was requested by one of the dedicated members of this website. Circuit Objectives and Requirements Main […]
High Current Voltage Doubler Circuit
In this post I have explained a voltage high current doubler circuit which will almost double the voltage that’s been applied at the input (up to 15V max), and also it becomes specifically useful since it allows higher current loads to be used at the output, in the order 10 amps. Since the voltage doubler […]
