Effect on the system’s time-domain response is a common problem when designing lowpass filters. The system may fail to recognize significant changes in time because pushing the cuttoff frequency lower slows the step response. The circuit below is presented to solve the problem: On this circuit diagram, lower [...]

All of the necessary circuitry to optimally control the charge and hold cycle for sealed lead acid battery can be implemented using UC2906 series of battery charger controllers. These integrated circuits monitor and control both the output voltage and current of the charger through three separate charge states; a high current bulk-charge state, a controlled [...]

This switch mode step-down converter has very good efficiency, up to 94% can be obtained. This switch mode regulator uses LTC1266-3.3 controller with external N-Channel power mosfet, and need only a 5uH inductor because it uses high frequency switching. Here is the schematic diagram of this switch mode step down converter circuit: To [...]

On telecom applications, the MAX1637 is a popular device. This device offer a lot of advantages such as PWM operation, small size, high MOSFET-drive capability, wide VIN and VOUT ranges, and excellent protection against over- and under-voltage faults. An auto-retry controller that attempts to restart the system is often needed in telecom application. [...]

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 [...]

Using this switch mode regulator circuit, you can get a stable 12 volt output (500mA) although you just have 4,3 – 10V power supply. You can even boost a 3.5V input to 12V if the load draws only 100 mA or less. This switch mode voltage regulator use LTC1266 IC chip from Linear Technology. Here [...]
