    TP4056 Lipo charger with voltage regulator for OEM issues

    Hi all, Im relatively new to PCB design and schematics, A new skill I'm learning at my company is to try to bring some components in-house. We currently have a PCB in place where just voltage regulates 5v from the wall plug and the standard 3.7v from the battery to the OEM but it does not do...

    Looking for a motor controller to implement between a 94V pace battery and a 24V transaxle motor?

    I have to use a 94V battery to power a 24V DC motor and looking for suggestions on a motor controller that will help with the buck converter aspect and in rush current of the motor? Im a student so still trying to learn the best way to do this and was told this may be the best approach? The...

    LM317 current injector/boosting circuit

    Hello, I have an application whereby we are sending a 4-20mA signal to an engine controller (engine speed proportional to mA). The test rig has a requirement for throttle blips, which the legacy controller does via a 24V switched output. The new engine controller cannot accept a digital input...

    what ceramic component could be in a 0603 SMD package other than capacitor and resistors?

    Hello all, I have found this ceramic 0603 SMD component that is green in color (glossy green)! Usually, SMD caps are beige or brownish in color and resistors are black with markings on them but this one looks more like a regular SMD cap. What is this green ceramic component? is it a special...

    Can 2 diodes and a capacitor be used to generate a negative voltage?

    Hey! I came across this circuit (see attached picture) which is used to create a -15V from a 15V rail then used as an input for a negative voltage regulator. I couldn't understand quite how the circuit works! Can someone explain this for me please? PS: the 2 diodes are in the same die, and i...

    How to use transistor as a variable Regulator?

    I'm designing a variable power source from 5V to 30V with 600mA. Input voltage is VIN = 36V. I tried the below circuit. VREF is given from microcontroller DAC. I tried using N-MOSFET, P-MOSFET, NPN, PNP (with modifications). I set a the output voltage as 20V. This circuit works fine with no...

    Voltage regulator for battery powered microcontroller

    Hi folks, I think what I have is a fairly simple question, yet I've spent so much time Googling, that I've completely lost track of what is what. I'm looking for an affordable voltage regulator to power an ESP32 from a number of AA or AAA batteries. I have bought a pair of these (Dutch...

    Noise reduction connecting PCB to USB

    Hi! After producing multiple different PCB designs of a board for controlling a stepper motor, I noticed something that I cannot explain. The boards are in general powered through 12 volts, then a voltage regulator brings the voltage from 12 to 5 V and another one from 5 to 3.3 V. Stepper...

    how to get approximately 30V on Vout in this voltage source?

    hello everyone. i´m doing a voltage source and i want to get approximately 30V-500mA on Vout with the smallest ripple as possible. : i got a transformer 12 0 12 V and a 1000V 2A bridge rectifier and 4700uf 35V electrolytic capacitor. The thing is: after rectifying it it should give me 24 *...

    LM317 no reference voltage

    Hello all, This is my first post so forgive me if I break any rules, I am trying to create a variable voltage power supply using an lm317 but am running into problems. For starters, it doesn't seem that I have a vref voltage, when probed I get 0 volts across input and adjust. My second problem...

    Trying to wrap my head around designing a (simple) LED circuit...

    Hello all, I'm trying to make a PCB for a LED-based lighting panel and I'm trying to wrap my head around the best way to layout the circuit. After a decent amount of scanning through the web, it seems like using voltage regulator(s) is a better way to go over the old LED array with resistors...

    Converting 1.5V from AAA cell to 0.8V output

    Hi all, I'm designing a circuit that needs to take 1.5V from two AAA cells in parallel and outputs 0.8V to a DPDT toggle switch (on-off-on) that connects the load to +0.8V, 0V, and -0.8V depending upon the switch position. The output current would ideally be able to reach up to 1.5A for safety...

    idea needed for a simple, automatic voltage regulator for 3V LED

    An idea needed for a simple, automatic voltage regulator for 3V LED. The application is for an electric model train (HO) which operates on 0V - 16V DC power supply. Traditionally, these locomotives utilise a 12V micro lightbulb which changes brightness in line with voltage applied to track...

    Basic Inverter Voltage regulation

    Hi! I copied the DC-AC circuit from here, or specifically speaking this image (I didn't used the diodes because I think they are useless in described configuration). However when I observe AC voltage using DMM, I get the following results: 1. 5W LED bulb with capacitor shows voltage 37.4V 2. 5W...

    problem with variable voltage circuit development.

    Hello, Thanks for your support in this forum. Currently, I am working on a project in which the operating voltage is 12v 1.5A to be given to the circuit. but, my input power supply varies from 12v to 24v of 2.5A. but I am not getting an idea that how to get constant voltage regulation of 12v...

    DC Switching linear regular design question

    Hello, I am fairly new to electronics design (I have a mech e background), and am designing a board that requires dropping 12v to 5v with a large current requirement (up to 8A@5V). In a bid to save on BOM, I took a shot at creating my own design vs buying one off the shelf, using the...

    First time using a Voltage Regulator sanity check, plus decoupling capacitors questions

    Hi! I've only soldered a few circuits before. Tomorrow I am planning on building a mono audio amplifier with a LM386 IC. I've a thread about it here (including a link to the schematic I am working from) https://forum.allaboutcircuits.com/threads/166673 The schematic uses a 9V battery, but I'd...
