In this post we investigate the technical specifications and pinout details of the IC L293 which is a versatile quad half-H driver IC, and can be used for implementing many interesting motor driver based circuit applications, such as for operating motors, solenoids and other inductive loads (4 units separately or in pairs through push-pull mode). How […]
New Circuit Projects
Wireless Thermometer Using 433 MHz RF Link Using Arduino
In this post I will show how to construct an Arduino based wireless thermometer which can monitor the room temperature and external ambient temperature. The data is transmitted and received via 433 MHz RF link. Using 433MHz RF Module and DHT11 Sensor The proposed project utilizes Arduino as brain and the heart as 433 MHz […]
Anti-Corrosion Probes for Water Level Controller
In this post I have explained a few interesting methods of constructing anti-corrosion probes for water level sensor and controller circuits by using alternating supply across the probes. Using Bridge Rectifiers (New Update) This simple anti-corrosion probe idea using bridge rectifiers happened to strike me recently and I decided to post it here for you […]
2 Compact 12V 2 Amp SMPS Circuit for LED Driver
In this post I will comprehensively discuss a 2 simple 12V 2 amp SMPS circuit using the IC UC2842. We study a 2 amp flyback design by evaluating various formulas, which provides the exact selection details for the transformer winding and the parts specifications. Design#1: Introduction The first design is based on the versatile IC VIPer53-E. […]
0-40V Adjustable Power Supply Circuit Diagram
This multipurpose general purpose supply generates as much as 2.5 amps from zero to 20 volts or up to 1.25 amps from 0-40 volts. Current limiting is variable within the entire range for either output options. By Trupti Patil Power Supply Main Specifications: AN IDEAL POWER SUPPLY must provide a voltage that is variable within […]
3 Solid-State Single IC 220V Adjustable Power Supply Circuits
These AC to DC power supplies use a single chip to convert mains 220 V or 120 V input AC into 12 V or 5 V DC without depending on a transformer. Three simple yet efficient 220V single chip based solid state transformerless adjustable solid-state power supply circuits are discussed here. The first one works […]
