The USBpwrMe Adapter Run USB Devices Off Your Bench Power Supply With USBpwrMe

KS Elektronikdesign is soon to launch the USBpwrMe on Crowd Supply, an adapter that can be used to power USB devices directly from a bench power supply. It supports USB Type-A and Type-C ports, operates from 3 V–20 V, and can perform charge negotiation at 5 V. Both ports can be used simultaneously; however, the campaign notes that only one USB output should be used at max load.

230V AC Mains Over Voltage Protection Circuit 230V AC Mains Over Voltage Protection Circuit

Most of the power supply these days are very reliable due to advancement in technology and better design preferences, but there is always a chance of failure due to a manufacturing defect or it can be the main switching transistor or the MOSFET going bad. Also, there is a possibility that it may fail due to overvoltage at the input, though protection devices like Metal Oxide…

What is Bleeder Resistor and where it is used? What is Bleeder Resistor and where it is used?

Bleeder resistors are standard high value resistors which are used to discharge the capacitor in filter circuit. The discharging of the capacitors is really important because even if the power supply is OFF, a charged capacitor can give a shock to anybody. So it is really essential to add a bleeder resistor to avoid any mishaps. It also have other applications but the main…

Overvoltage Protection Circuit Overvoltage Protection Circuit

Protection circuits, like reverse polarity protection, short-circuit protection, and over/under voltage protection, are used to protect any electronic appliance or circuit from any sudden mishap. Generally fuse or MCB is used for overvoltage protection. Here in this circuit, we will build a simple overvoltage protection circuit without using a fuse.
