Today we are going to look into a very high efficiency resonant-mode off-line LED driver circuit. It is based on a very popular Infineon article which uses the IRS2530D DIM8 controller IC. Normally electronic ballast technology is used for old fluorescent tube lights, but here Infineon used the same concept to drive high power LEDs […]

Adjustable 1Amp to 10Amp, 3V to 14V SMPS Circuit: CV, CC, and Short Circuit Protected
If you have ever tried building a high-power inverter, a high-frequency induction heater, or just a solid adjustable lab bench power supply, you already know that controlling both the voltage and current at the same time is an absolute nightmare. Most builders just grab the standard application circuit from the SG3525 datasheet, wire up a […]
Build Customized 220V Flyback SMPS Circuits: 12V, 5A, 60W Example Discussed
In this post I will explain you all the simple formulas, step by step, which you can use for designing and building professional grade 220V AC SMPS flyback converter circuits. As we know the SMPS transformer is the heart of an SMPS design, so here we will learn all the steps, one by step, using […]
SMPS Spot Welding Circuit using IC SG3525 Explained
Spot welding needs very low voltage but very high current, that too for very short time, so now this whole thing is built around that idea. In this design we push big current in small time period for safely creating the required welding joint, done. Audio/Video Representation How the Circuit Works Now the circuit, it […]
Simple 85V–265V AC to 12V 5A SMPS Design Using UC3843 (With Calculations)
In this article we are going to see a simple SMPS circuit diagram which is using UC3843 IC. This circuit can convert 85V AC to 285V AC input into stable 12V DC output. UC3843 is very popular current mode PWM controller IC used in many power supply circuits. Below we will discuss full working and […]
220V AC to 12V DC Flyback SMPS Circuit using IC 555 (7555)
This practical flyback SMPS circuit uses ICM7555 as the main oscillator, and yep the whole idea is to take 220V AC mains directly then convert it into isolated low voltage DC through a ferrite transformer.. Unlike many PWM controller designs, here we have very few parts but still it gives mains isolation, voltage feedback, current […]
