Here is a easy circuit of a DC to DC converter using LM317T IC. LM317 is a very famous IC comes in TO 220 package. This high performance IC has a lot of good features like input supporting voltage from 3 to 40 volt DC and delivers regulated output from 1. 25 to 37 volt DC with 1. 5A output current. The IC also contains build in current limiter, buil

t in thermal overload protection and safe area protection. The circuit mentioned here will perform the task of step down fixed voltage DC to DC converter. There are many fixed voltage DC to DC step down converter ICs are available in the market like LM7805 for DC 5 volt fixed output, LM7809 is for DC 9 volt fixed output etc. But LM317 is a single IC from which you can get any fix output voltage between 1. 2 to 37 volt DC by using suitable values of resistor R1 and R2. The output voltage chart mentioned below will help you in choosing the suitable value of resistor R2 to get the desired output voltage. You can also use the LM 317 voltage calculator chart mentioned here: In this calculator you can also adjust the value of resistor R1 between 150 to 470 ohms to get the desired output voltage. The input voltage must be 2 to 3 volt greater than the output voltage. Use a suitable heatsink with the IC. You can also use a variable resistor in the place of R2 if desired more details are here 1. 25V - 37V 1. 5A Variable / Adjustable Power Supply Using LM317.
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
