    PWM/DAC voltage and current regulation

    Hi, I'm new to this forum (and forums in general). I am starting my second year of engineering school (midlife career change) and have a problem I have been trying for figure out, on and off, for about a year. With an unregulated 35VDC input I am wanting to use a MCU (ESP32 specifically) to...

    SMPS Current Regulation

    Hi Experts, I've SMPS (AC to DC) which gives output of 12V, 20A, 240W, & I've to attach Peltier device (TEC1 12706) with SMPS, but Confusion is Peltier have max. Current rating as 6A, but SMPS is giving 20A, So how to limit o/p of SMPS to 6A, so it wont damage Peltier, how current regulation...

    DC-DC Current Limiting

    Hello, I'm looking to design a stupid simple DC-DC converter with two goals only: Current regulation to no more than 90 amps Lowest possible cost (total cost sub $50) Can it be done? The power supply is a Prius. The Prius Gen 2 DC-DC converter (used instead of an alternator to charge the...

    transformer core explanation required

    hello everyone, this is a stupid question but if anyone can answer this, i'd be so grateful. the question is about the transformer core. take a simple EI laminated silicone steel core for example. we know primary winding magnetises and secondary demagnetises. and at a some point an equilibrium...

    What is the best, and most handy way to add a fast short current protection to SparkFun Toshiba TB6612FNG?

    Toshiba is almost %100 efficient, no cooler at 2–2.5A, way ahead than any other thing for such currents. So cheap and as a kit perfect to use daily everywhere by youth. One handy short current topology makes it killer because it is stackable as paralel. You can easily do 100A box without a fan...

    Homemade Power Supply How to?

    I'm posting today hoping for some guidance on a project i would like to attempt. I recently came into a lot of 64 12v 7AH Sealed Lead Acid batteries from a backup UPS. The batteries are still good and take a charge and load like normal for the most part. Since i only have the batteries and...

    what is the smd equivalent package of BD139 NPN transistor?

    I am developing a basic switching circuit using a PIC microcontroller where the maximum drive current will be up to 2A in this case I was using BD139 but now due to my PCB has a Single-layer option I have to use SMD for it. so, please anyone suggest to me the best NPN SMD transistor for my...

    current limiter for led lights

    hi, i have 4 led lights designed to work in ac but i want to use them in a garage that doesn't have power. The lights consist of just an led strip without any resistors, have a forward voltage of 60v and draw 300mA. I thought of removing the ac/dv converter and just use a 60v battery to power...

    Current control for a battery charge

    How can I control the current that is supplied to a battery? I need to balance current consumption to avoid some parts of the system run out of power. My system is described in the attached file. I have a 12V input which goes into a Boost regulator to get 48V. Those 48V are used to feed a...
