This SMPS AC-DC converter gives good efficiency. Test data shows efficiency of 83.2% at 115 Vac input and 6A output current, and 85.4% at 230 Vac input and 6A output current. Moreover, the input voltage range is universal, accommodating 92 to 276 Vac variation with only 24 mV change in the output voltage. Here is [...]

The DC to AC inverter circuit shown in the schematic here is very simple circuit since it produce square wave, but it’s enough to power many devices. Here is the schematic diagram of the inverter circuit: The MOSFET is configured as bridge, so the current will flow alternatively in through the primary windings [...]

Electric motor has been widely used as motion control, and many type of motor controllers have been designed to provide variable speed drives for the motor. The best controller is the servo controller, where a precise speed control is implemented using a speed sensor in the feedback path. The circuit of the motor controller in [...]

A DC-to-DC step-up converter is traditionally implemented using transformer, working by converting the DC voltage to AC Voltage, step-up it using transformer, then rectify and filter the transformer’s output to get a higher DC voltage. Using a switching method, we can step-up a voltage without a transformer. We just need an inductor which is driven [...]

This is a video tutorial of DC motor control. This video shows how to control the DC motor speed. In this video, speed of the DC motor is controlled by changing the power supply. Increasing speed can be done by increasing the voltage, and decreasing the voltage will decrease the speed of DC motor. Here [...]

Based on a request by FreeCircuitDiagram reader Helynn Schufletowski, here we present an AC powered-LED flasher circuit for all of you! DEADLY ELECTRICAL SHOCK WARNING: This circuit is not isolated from mains supply, don’t touch it when it’s plugged to the power line. The circuit is based on our previous transistor LED flasher [...]
