Direct High Voltage DC Regulator
This regulator circuit stabilize the output voltage at 200V directly (without a transformer). Although the output voltage is high, this circuit only suffer a tension of the voltage drop (Vinput-Voutput), which is suffered mainly by the transistors. The op-amp suffers even less tension, since it regulate the applied voltage at their pins around the level …[Read More]
LM10 Battery Voltage Threshold Indicator
A battery threshold indicator circuit shown in the schematic diagram below has current regulation mechanism in driving the LED. A sufficient current should be satisfied at the minimum voltage but no excessive current when the voltage is at the highest level. Balance pin (5) is used as the reference voltage for regulating the current. This …[Read More]
This watt-meter circuit has measurement range up to 1-KW. This circuit can give the complete (X)(Y) function although uses only one transistor. Actually, this circuit is used for 117 Vac±50 Vac operation. For lower or lower voltage, this circuit can be modified easily. This circuit only measure power on negative cycles. The advantages of this …[Read More]
Foldback Current Limited High Voltage Regulator
This circuit is high voltage regulator which has foldback current limiter protection. This circuit uses LM10 comparator with voltage reference, and this core integrated circuit is connected directly to high voltage circuitry. This high voltage direct connection is possible since the IC is inserted to a bias network and directly drop the applied voltage, so …[Read More]
Auto-Off 12V NiCd Battery Charger
NiCd/NiCad battery charger circuit is still needed since some application demanding high current is still rely on NiCd type, since this type is still superior in term of high current output (low internal resistance) and low cost. This battery charger circuit is used to charge 12V NiCd battery at around 74 mA until battery is …[Read More]
Transceiver Saver (Overvoltage Protector)
This is a transceiver saver circuit that protect a transceiver device (applicable to other device as well) from overvoltage of the power supply. This circuit is used to protect the device by regulating the power supply, avoiding damaging the device if overvoltage occurs. If the transceiver transmits current of above 2A, a heatsink should be …[Read More]
26V-to-5000V DC-DC Converter
This circuit can provide 5,000 VDC from 26 VDC. This circuit has ripple of under 0.01% due to Voltage-doubling capacitors. As sinusoidal oscillator, a 2N217 transistor is used. The diode and the capacitors at the output stage should be of high voltage type. Here is the schematic diagram of the circuit:
