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 […]

Switching Boost Converter Circuit using IC MAX732
The proposed boost converter circuit using MAX732 IC will allow you to have a continuous voltage of 12V with a current of 150 or 200 mA. The input voltage can be between 4.5 to 9 V, which can be produced by three 1.5V batteries, for example. The circuit is quite simple, we will be using […]
IC 7805 Switching Regulator Circuit
Starting from a classical linear regulation, we will present the evolution towards a simple switching version. This will allow us to analyze the operation without going through the classical theoretical developments. In other words, a “practical” view of things. You can use the proposed design to significantly increase the backup time and efficiency of a […]
0 to 50 V Adjustable Switching Power Supply Circuit using IC LM2576
In this article I will try to explain the construction of a 1.23 V to 50 V adjustable switching power supply circuit using the IC LM2576. The LM2576 family of regulators is a monolithic integrated circuit that performs all of the active operations of a step-down (buck) switching regulator. It offers exceptional line and load […]
