4AA Battery Powered 12V LED Spotlight - 12V Power Supply circuits

Most of the electronic projects and electronic devices are required 12V power source; typically a 12V sealed lead acid battery or AC powered power supply. These are typically large, heavy, difficult to handle, and expensive; portability is less. The best solution is to use a DC-DC Step up converter. These types of convertors are inexpensive, light weight and easy to use. Also provides power management and easy to work with renewable energy sources.


The input power source could be rechargeable AA batteries. Let’s make an environment friendly 12V/130mA power supply!

 
 100uf Electrolytic Capacitor 16V C1,C2 -2
100Ohms Resistor 1/4W R1,R2 -2
1N5817 Schotkey Diode 1A D1- 1
150UH Radial Power Inductor 1A IND1- 1
LT1073CN8-12 IC DIP Package IC1 -1
IC Base 8 PIN -1
PCB to Wire Connector- 2
4AA Battery Holder- 1

The heart of this application is LT1073 IC. It is a power management IC which steps up low voltage into high voltage by switching.

First I etched four PCBs for the prototype using a PCB design software and some other tools. The PCBs are very small (4cmX2cm) because components need to be solder as close as to the IC; because of the performance issues. I made ground copper track as wide as possible.

Now my prototype works fine and I decided to make the PCB in large quantity. I did some changes and sent my PCB file to a local PCB production company and first I got 100 pieces of PCBs. The PCBs are in good quality with solder spots and copper shield; easy to solder

AC Powered LED.

A long time ago I found a little schematic on internet on how to power a LED from an AC Line.
I tested and modified it a little so now it works great.
You could use it as an power-on indicator for your waterpump or so. Also it can be used with whatever LED-color you like.
I included the schematics for US or canadian 110-120V 60Hz AC lines, as well as european or australian 230-240V 50Hz AC lines.



The capacitor is used to drop the voltage and the resistor to limit the inrush current.
Since the capacitor passes the current in both directions, a small diode is connected in parallel with the LED to provide a path for the negative half cycle and to limit the reverse voltage across the LED. The resistor value was chosen to limit the worst case inrush current to about 150mA which will drop to less than 30mA in a millisec as the capacitor charges.
The 0.47uF capacitor has an impedance of 5600 Ohms at 60Hz so the LED current is about 20mA half wave, or 10mA average (for the 230V version the impedance of the 0.33uF capacitor is 9600 Ohms at 50Hz which gives you also a LED current of about 10mA average) 
Z = 1 / 2*Pi*f*C
Z = Impedance in Ohms
Pi = 3.14
f = frequency in Hertz

C = capacity in Farads)

A larger capacitor will increase the current and a smaller one will reduce it.
The capacitor must be a non-polarized type with a voltage rating of at least 250VDC or preferably more for 110V AC-lines, or at least 400VDC or preferably more for 230V AC-lines.
Resistor R1 discharges capacitor C1 in a few seconds after AC-line is disconnected. Remember that R1 must be able to withstand the full half wave peak AC-line voltage.
IMPORTANT: The circuit is powered from the AC line, so I will not be held responsible in any way for burned fingers, or melted fuses in your house. Isolate all connections with heat shrink.

FM Transmitter Circuits - 4Transistors..



This circuit provides an FM modulated signal with an output power of around 500mW. The input microphone pre-amp is built around a couple of 2N3904 transistors (Q1/Q2), and audio gain is limited by the 5k preset trim potentiometer. The oscillator is a colpitt stage, frequency of oscillation governed by the tank circuit made from two 5pF ceramic capacitors and the L2 inductor. The output stage operates as a 'Class D' amplifier, no direct bias is applied but the RF signal developed across the 3.9uH inductor is sufficient to drive this stage. The emitter resistor and 1k base resistor prevent instability and thermal runaway in this stage.Electronics Circuit Application

High Gain Yagi Wi-Fi Antenna

Build this wi-fi antenna to build when you want results FAST and have just a few inexpensive tools and supplies available. It will greatly extend your wi-fi range - well beyond the limits of the dipoles that accompany most routers and some wireless adapters. When connected to a USB wireless adapter the performance is excellent. When connected to a high powered wi-fi adapter, the performance is astounding! Forget about building those overly hyped wi-fi cantennas - they don't perform anywhere close to the yagi antennas depicted here.
Sometimes the perfect wi-fi antenna is the one that can be made in an hour's time, from inexpensive parts, and yet enables connections over moderate to long distances. The yagi wi-fi antenna design depicted here is exactly that! It is computer designed, made of wood and wire, and provides high gain and directivity. It is directional - favoring wi-fi signals in one direction and rejecting interference from the sides or behind the antenna. The 15 element wi-fi antenna provides over 15 dB of gain (multiplying your effective radiated power by 31), while the larger 20 element wi-fi antenna provides over 17 dB of gain (multiplying your effective radiated power power by 51). Front to back ratio for both antennas is about 22 dB.
Yagi wi-fi antennas can be rather difficult to make - elements must be precisely cutto the proper length, and spaced at the correct distance from otherelements, or the antenna doesn't work. Before good computer tools were available, a designer used various charts and tables to determine antenna dimensions. These days, however, much of the mind numbing calculation can be carried out in a split second. One excellent tool for crunching design numbers is the yagi antenna modeler, created by Kevin Schmidt (W9CF) and Michael Lee.

Best Transformer less Power Supply Circuit Using IC LR645.

A very interesting yet super simple transformer less power supply circuit has been discussed here. In one of my earlier posts I provided a similar circuit but it utilized a high voltage capacitor for dropping the mains voltage to lower usable levels. Here we study how the mains voltage is controlled to 12 volts and 5 volts using just a single IC LR645G and some other supportive ordinary active semiconductors.


In short the circuit diagram may be understood in the following manner:

  • The high voltage AC mains is rectified by the bridge configuration using four diodes at the input.
  • The rectified voltage is smoothed by the filter capacitor introduced just after the bridge network.
  • The rectified, filtered high voltage is fed to the IC LR645LG, which effectively reduces the voltage to 15 volts at 3 mA.
  • The FET pulls the 3 mA current output to 150 mA and feds it to the next stage which incorporates the 5 volt regulator stage.

However one big drawback of eliminating the use of a transformer is the DANGER of high voltage shock that actively hangs with all the naked points of the circuit. Therefore extreme caution must be exercised while building and testing this circuit and other attached circuits.


Parts List

Diodes - 1N4007

Input Capacitor - 4.7uF/400V,

Output Capacitors are 1uF/25V

ICs are LR645LG and 7805,

FET - DN2540N5

SIMPLE 230V LED DRIVER Circuits ..




230V LED Driver circuit without transformer. Here i am using 5 led's you can increase the count at your convineance. Due to the absence of Transformers we can reduce the cost and size of the circuit considerably. As we all know LED's are Cheap, efficient and cool device with low power consumption. So we can reduce our electricity bills to a great extent.

The circuit is powered by 230V 50Hz ac supply, so be careful while troubleshooting this project.


Led's commonly works only in DC, so we have to convert the alternating current to direct current and step down to a safe value before applying to the led sequence.

The circuit mainly consisting of 5 led bulbs, a bridge rectifier and a filtering network with voltage regulator.



The bridge rectifier is used to convert alternating current (AC) to pulsating DC. It is made possible by means of rectifying diodes (D1 to D4 1N4007)


The filtering is made possible by means of a capacitor (47uF). It is used to eliminate the ripples coming from rectifier circuit.

After regulating the filtered voltage using a zener diode, we get an almost direct current suitable for LED's.
