Here are 4 simple 12V power supply circuits with output voltages around 12V. First power supply circuit is built with BD139, one zener diode and a few passive components. Each of the schematic is very ...

This circuit was designed to meet a medical application’s requirement to drive a laser diode with reasonable precision and a minimum of components and footprint (the device is now in clinical trials).

Laser diodes are enjoying ever greater popularity in sensor engineering and measurement technology thanks to their high optical output power. One of the advantages of this is that a wide optical range ...

Normally, when you want a low DC voltage from the AC line, you think about using a transformer of some kind. [RCD66] noticed that an AC monitor meter must have some sort of power supply but had no ...

Lighting a string of LEDs at a constant brightness requires driving it with a regulated current. A boost converter is commonly used to step up the voltage to a level high enough to bias the LEDs on ...

Using simple components such as oil, salt water, lipids and proteins, plus routine genetic engineering techniques, it is possible to create simple nanofluidic ...
