In this post I will be talking about one famous voltage regulator IC called AMS1117. It is a 1 Amp Low Dropout (LDO) Linear Voltage Regulator and we can get it in both fixed output types and also adjustable output version. It is super small, easy to use and available in SOT-223 package mostly, which […]

IC LM7912, -12V Negative Voltage Regulator Explained
In this post we are going to learn about one super old but gold IC called LM7912 or simply IC 7912. This one is not positive regulator like 7805 or 7812, but it is negative regulator which means it gives -12V output and not +12V. If you are making op-amp circuits or dual power supply […]
High Voltage, High Current Transistor TIP150/TIP151/TIP152 Datasheet
The TIP150, TIP151, TIP152 series are high voltage, high current Darlington transistors which can be used for applications involving voltages at mains 120V or 220V levels. The datasheet and other related details can be read in the following article. The typical applications of this transistor could be for high voltage motor control, automotive ignition, inverter […]
Gel Cell Battery Charger Circuit [Constant Current, Constant Voltage]
In this post I have explained what are gel cell batteries and also learn how to build a specialized charger for charging a gel cell battery, with full calculations. The proposed circuit works in two modes: it starts charging a discharged gel cell battery with constant current, until the full charge voltage is reached across […]
Selectable 4 Step Low Voltage Battery Cut off Circuit
In this post I have explained a circuit configuration which facilitates a multi-step low voltage selection and cut-off for the battery being used and monitored. The circuit was proposed by Mr. Pete. Technical Specifications Dear Swagatam,Your assistance during the past few days has been incredible, thanks to which I think I have managed to get close to […]
High Voltage Battery Charger Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple automatic High Voltage Battery Charger Circuit which can be used for an automatic charging control of any preferred high voltage battery bank such as a 360V battery bank. The idea was requested by “resonance”. Circuit Objectives and Requirements I found all your circuit and projects interesting but […]
