Uninterruptible Power Supply with PIC17C43 Microcontroller

This is a MicroChip Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) reference design with PIC17C43 microcontroller. The document is available to download from the end of this post. At times, power from a wall socket is neither clean nor uninterruptible. Many abnormalities such as blackouts, brownouts, spikes, surges, and noise can occur. Under the best conditions, power interruptions… Read More »

1 – 9V Variable Desktop Power Supply

Here the variable desktop power supply which will convert a high input voltage (12V) from the SMPS / PSU of a desktop computer into small output voltage (1.25 to 9 volts). This converter will be very beneficial for electronics hobbyists. An adjustable three-pin voltage regulator chip LM317T (IC1) is applied right here to deliver the… Read More »

This is the circuit diagram of USB powered stereo computer speaker, or it widely known as multimedia speakers for PCs. The circuit has single-chipbased design, low-voltage electrical power supply, compatibility with USB power from computer, simple heat-sinking, inexpensive, large flexibility and wide temperature tolerance. At the heart of the circuit is IC TDA2822M. This IC… Read More »

Car Cigar Lighter to USB Power Socket

Here is the schematic design of car cigar lighter to USB power port. Nowadays, almost all computer systems have logic blocks for working with a USB port. In practice, a USB port is capable of supplying more than 100 mA of continuous electric current at 5V to the peripherals which are hooked up with the… Read More »

300W OCL Power Amplifier

This 300W OCL power amplifier -i’m sorry for the blur diagram, but it should be readable- use 4 pairs of 2N3055 dan MJ3055 transistor as the main power components. This is good circuit, i’ve built this OCL (ouput capacitor-less) power amplifier circuit for my school project, and of course i use it for my home… Read More »

Electronic Appliance Protector

This is a easy built and very low-cost circuit purposed to protect your electronic appliances / devices, such as Personal Computer, TV, recording devices, refrigerator, and other devices during sudden tripping and resumption of home mains supply. Appliances like refrigerators and air-conditioners are more inclined to damage due to such conditions.
