This constant current constant voltage SMPS can be used to efficiently charge a battery. This circuit gives 7.2V at constant voltage mode, and 600 mA at constant current mode. Here is the schematic diagram of the circuit: The mechanism is simple, when the load impedance is high, then the output voltage will be [...]

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 [...]

This PWM motor control circuit provides many controls for DC motor. You can control the DC motor to rotate forward, reverse, or break until it stops. Here is the schematic diagram of the circuit: The circuit uses MOSFETS bridge to drive the motor, controlled by some logic gates and small bipolar transistors. The [...]

pH Meter Circuit pH meter measures the voltage (the EMF, electromotive force) generated by the pH electrodes (the sensor) to show the hydrogen concentration in pH scale. Basically, a pH meter is nothing more than a pH probe/sensor with high impedance voltmeter that measures the generated voltage at the pH probe. To measure the [...]

LED flasher circuit here will flash a LED using only 1.5 volts supply voltage. Normally, to make any LED lamp works, you need more than 2 volts power supply. This because LED will work only when the supply voltage is higher than its forward bias voltage, around 2 volts for red LED, and slightly lower [...]
