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.

50 Watt Amplifie small subwoofer Circuits..

This is a handy, easy to build general purpose 50 watt amp. The amp has an input for a radio, TV, stereo or other line level device. It also has a phono input for a record player, guitar, microphone or other un-amplified source. With the addition of a low pass filter at the input, it makes a great amp for a small subwoofer.

Galaxy S3 Audio Problem and solution..

Samsung Galaxy series is known to be one of the finest smart phone ranges that exist today, and this is mainly because its features have surely beaten a good number of industry giants. But nothing is flawless, no matter how better the technology is, as after some time it is going to start having some issues in it due to any of the reasons.

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.
