DIY Digitally Controlled Variable DC Power Supply

Imagine being able to control voltage like turning a volume knob, only instead of sound, you’re tuning up or down the power flowing to your electronics. Today, we’re going to create a variable DC power supply with digital controls, using a few nifty components that make this process not just adjustable, but satisfyingly precise. Building this digitally controlled variable DC power supply might sound complex, but I promise it’s like baking with a recipe—it just takes the right steps. So, let’s dive into it. Why Go Digital with Voltage Control?…

Efficient Low Dropout MOSFET Regulator with 555 Timer Charge Pump

Efficient power regulation with a minimum drop in voltage has become quite necessary in modern electronics, especially when one works with low-voltage DC supplies. It is in meeting such requirements that a Low Dropout MOSFET Regulator becomes handy-assuring stable output with reduced dissipation of power. The following article elaborates on the design for an Efficient Low Dropout MOSFET Regulator, employing a 555 Timer Charge Pump to develop a higher gate voltage for the MOSFET, thereby realizing ultra-low dropout performance. Why Use a Low Dropout MOSFET Regulator? In conventional linear regulators,…
