Negative Supply From Single Positive Suply Using CMOS Inverter

If only a 5 volt positive supply is available and you need a negative voltage for op-amp or other biasing purpose, the you can generate the negative supply from the positive supply using this circuit. This circuit give same functionality with our previous 555 switching circuit, but now we use a CMOS inverter gate. Using CMOS component allow our circuit […]

Variable (Adjustable) Current Limiter Circuit

This circuit provide automatic current limiting up to 8.4A. Unlike current limiter that uses only a resistor, this current limiting circuit doesn’t drop the voltage, or at least keep the voltage drop at minimum, until a certain current amount is exceeded. This current amount limit is adjustable from 1.4 A to 8.4A using a potentiometer. You can modify the component […]

Basic Uninterruptible Power Supply Circuit

Basic interruptible Power Supply Circuit consist of regular power supply adapter and battery connection. This basic system is a “hot” battery connection, meaning that there is no switching mechanism in connecting and disconnecting the battery, the battery is always connected! This hot connection is very simple to implement and very robust because there would be no switching delay, the output […]
