The LP8864-Q1 is this cool automotive high-efficiency LED driver that comes with a boost controller. Basically it is made to efficiently power the LEDs in your car. It has got these four high-precision current sinks that do something called phase shifting. What is neat is that this phase shifting automatically adjusts based on how many […]

LED Lamp Circuit for Motorbike Headlamp
In this post I have explained a simple 21 watt LED lamp circuit module which can be used as a direct replacement for a standard halogen lamp used in motorcycles headlamp. LED vs Halogen Lamp The proposed “halogen” LED lamp replacement module image can be seen below: Conventional filament type halogen lamp is shown below: […]
Interface Accelerometer ADXL335 with LED and Arduino (Circuit Diagram)
In this post, we are going to see how to use an accelerometer with arduino and extract useful readings, which will be printed on serial monitor of IDE. We will also be exploring how accelerometer works in a nutshell and its applications. How the Accelerometers Works Accelerometer is an electromechanical device, which is used to […]
How to Make LED Air Pollution Meter Circuit with Arduino
In this project I will show how to construct an air pollution meter using MQ-135 sensor and arduino. The pollution level in the air is indicated by series of 12 LED. If higher the number of LEDs glows, the higher the pollution content in the air and vice versa. Overview This project can prove […]
SMPS 50 watt LED Street Light Driver Circuit
The post presents an SMPS based LED street lamp driver circuit which can be used for driving any LED lamp design right from 10 watts to 50 watts plus. Using the IC L6565 The proposed 50 watt (and higher) LED street light driver circuit uses the IC L6565 as the main control device, which is […]
2 Compact 12V 2 Amp SMPS Circuit for LED Driver
In this post I will comprehensively discuss a 2 simple 12V 2 amp SMPS circuit using the IC UC2842. We study a 2 amp flyback design by evaluating various formulas, which provides the exact selection details for the transformer winding and the parts specifications. Design#1: Introduction The first design is based on the versatile IC VIPer53-E. […]
