This is a high voltage 310V to 60V buck converter, so we have that big 310V DC coming in which we usually get after rectifying 220V AC mains. So now that high DC is there and we want to push it down to something like 60V or lower for battery charging or similar work. Audio/Video […]

Higher Variable Output Voltage from IC 7812
You may have often wondered whether it was feasible to get higher voltages than 12 V from a 7812 IC? In this short post I have explained how to configure the IC 7812 with a BJT stage, so that its output can be made variable for achieving any desired voltage higher than 12 V, without […]
Motorcycle Voltage Regulator Circuits
In the article below I have explained a compilation of simple yet accurate motorcycle voltage regulator circuits, which can be used for regulating the varying alternator voltage into a fixed DC voltage. Voltage regulator circuit is very important in motorcycles and two wheelers since they ensure a regulated battery charging thus keeping the battery safe […]
Battery Voltage Monitor Circuits using LM324 and LM3915 ICs
The post describes simple battery charge monitor circuits or battery status indicator circuits using 4 LEDs to 10 LEDs, and using ICs like LM324 and LM3915. The first design is a 4 LED voltage monitor circuit using the versatile IC LM324. The idea was requested by Ms. Piyali. Technical Specifications I’ve a project, if you […]
