Here are 4 simple 12V power supply circuits with output voltages around 12V. First power supply circuit is built with BD139, one zener diode and a few passive components. Each of the schematic is very ...

When reaching for a power supply design it’s normal here in 2022 to reach for a switching design. They’re lightweight, very efficient, and often available off-the-shelf at reasonable prices. Their ...

If you need to send data from sensors, there are plenty of options, including a bewildering selection of wireless methods. Trouble is, most of those protocols require a substantial stack of technology ...

Low-power circuits commonly use transformerless power supplies. However, the use of earth grounds in many of these circuits creates a serious problem that is often ignored. The very popular Microchip ...

In this Idea for Design: the Soft-start capacitor's discharge can be used as a trigger for a latch circuit in order to provide latch-off fault response in switching supplies Most switching ...
