5 A Constant Voltage-Constant Current Regulator

A constant voltage constant current  (CVCS) regulator  doesn’t mean a system with a constant load, since there will be no regulation in such case.  What we call CVCS regulator is a regulator with two modes. The first mode is constant voltage, where the regulator trying to regulate the supply to a variable load at a constant voltage. In this mode […]

Three Cells Produce Regulated 3V – 3.3V with Power Down/Power Saving Mode

This linear voltage regulator circuit provides battery voltage regulation from battery source to power micro controller system. The output can be selected by choosing the right resistor value in the feedback path.  Many today’s micro controllers are featured with power down or power saving mode, and this circuit accommodates this feature by providing low power mode control on its input. […]

Ni-Cad Battery Zapper, A Rechargeable Battery Reconditioner

Ni-Cad (NiCd, NiCad) battery, sometimes doesn’t work as expected, gives no power and cannot be recharged. In this situation, the battery need to be reconditioned. It’ is possible that the battery is internally shorted, and we can get the battery into life again by recondition the Ni-Cad battery using a zapper circuit. This circuit restore the Ni-Cad battery from shorting […]
