AC to DC High Watt Power Supply Unit Zeus: An AC to DC High Watt Power Supply Unit

While making a customized RGB LED set up at our home, basically it was a bunch of addressable 5v LEDs the WS2812, but unfortunately, we didn't have a high current power source to light them up properly. Since there was a lot of them, it required around 9 Amps of current to lighten up at full brightness. This led us to design one Power Supply for this purpose, as well…

Design CC/CV Charger using Viper VP22A IC Build Simple 12.6V CC/CV Lithium Battery Charger using Viper VP22A Low Power Primary Switcher IC

Switch Mode Power Supplies (SMPS) are one of the most generally used AC-DC Converters on the market as they accept 110V/230V AC as input and convert it to a desirable DC voltage level, making them useful for a wide range of applications. These are omnipresent, from smartphone chargers to lab bench power supplies to medical tools. We've already developed a few SMPS…

DIY Multi-Port USB Hub Design and Build your own High Power USB Hub Port Extender

Today, our desks are full of devices that require connection to be connected with the PC via USB, or we need to work with multiple devices that have USB ports. It became a problem as Laptops lack multiple ports, and this is where a USB hub or USB Port Extender comes in handy.

12V 1A Power Supply Circuit Design using VIPer22A 12V 1A Power Supply Circuit Design using VIPer22A

Switched-mode power supply circuits (SMPS) are most often required in many electronic designs to convert the AC mains voltage to a suitable level of DC voltage for the device to operate. This type of AC-DC converter takes in the 230V/110V AC mains voltage as input and converts it to low-level DC voltage by switching it, hence the name switch-mode power supply. We have…

12V/27W SMPS Circuit with UC3843 Design a 12V/27W SMPS Circuit with UC3843 SMPS Controller IC

Switching Mode Power Supply, or simply SMPS, is a type of Power Supply Unit (PSU) that uses a switching device (such as a transistor or MOSFET) to convert the source, which can be AC or DC, to a constant DC voltage. Switched-mode power supply circuits (SMPS) are most often required in many electronic designs to convert the AC mains voltage to a suitable level of DC voltage…

Push Pull Converter – Basic Theory, Construction, and Demonstration How to Design a Push Pull Converter – Basic Theory, Construction, and Demonstration

When it comes to working with power electronics, a DC-DC converter topology becomes very crucial for practical designs. There are mainly two types of major DC-DC conversion topologies available in power electronics, namely, the switching converter and the Linear converter.
