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 […]

3 LED Battery Level Indicator Circuit
The proposed 3 LED battery level indicator can be typically used for monitoring a 12 V lead acid battery charge level, through 3 distinct LED illumination. The entire circuit is built using just a couple of BJTs , a few zener diodes, resistors and LEDs. Different Ways to Check Battery Voltage A hydrometer is perhaps […]
220V/120V LED String Light Circuit using a Single Capacitor
In this post I have explained how to make a LED string light which can be operated from 220V mains through a single inexpensive PPC capacitor. The idea was requested by Mr. Basit Momin.WE STRICTLY CAUTION YOU THAT YOU BUILD THIS CIRCUIT ONLY IF YOU ARE AWARE OF THE DANGERS OF MAINS AC AND KNOW […]
200, 600 LED String Circuit on Mains 220V
In this post I have explained the construction of a 200 to 600 LED circuit project, using series parallel LEDs for creating an alphabetical display sign board. The idea was requested by Mr. Mubarak Idris. Circuit Objectives and Requirements I need a blinking LED light that show”WELCOME TO” blink and then “COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING” base […]
12V LED Backpack Power Supply Circuit
In this article I have explained to make a simple 12v LED backpack power supply circuit for powering a 36watt LED lamp, which includes appropriately wired integrated sockets for enabling the attachment of external devices such as a regulated battery charger, ammeter, voltmeter etc. The idea was requested by Mr. Kevin Bates Backpack LED Charger/Driver […]
110V Compact LED Tubelight Circuit
In this article I have explained a simple single IC LED tube ligt circuit applicable for 110V/120V AC inputs. The circuit uses 30 numbers of 1 watt LEDs, and also includes a voltage and current control features. In my previous post I discussed the IC TL783 which is a 1.25V to 120V variable DC regulator […]
