SKL14 -1A Schottky diode will fit everywhere

SKL14 can be used in switch-mode power supplies or as protection diodes and thanks their really miniature dimensions, they are also suitable at the lack of PCB space.  SMT Technologies enable a substantial increase of current density thanks to a very good heat transfer from a component to a PCB. Almost a zero length of „leads“ of SMT components also features another positive aspects like a significant suppression of a parasitic inductancy and a possibility to construct circuits with a high components density and a minimal PCB tracks length, what significantly decreases an undesired radiation (EMI) for example in switch-mode power supplies

Series Connected Voltage Boost Circuit for a Battery Operated LED Lantern

Photo. This is the test circuit -the basic driver is only two transistors, two resistors, the circuit was evaluated using a white LED, but when it was time to button it up and archive it, I replaced the expensive white LED with a cheap green one. Othere LED Driver Circuits on this site: White LED

Single and Two Cell White LED Drivers Without Inductors

Three inductor-free circuits that allow a white LED or UV LED to be driven from one (1.5 volt) or two flashlight cells (3 volts total) are described. The circuits on this page are: The two cell (3 volt) circuit four transistors. The simple single cell (1.5 volt) circuit requires six transistors, but it isn’t as

1 Watt White LED Power Supply Circuit for battery operation

Download FreePC project file, gerber and png copper and silk-screen: 1wattledbuck.zip Introduction I have some 1 watt warm white LEDs left over from a project and the application for them was obvious: A better battery operated lamp for use when the power fails, which it does frequently, especially during the rainy season. And this one should

Attention-Getting Auxiliary Warning Light Flasher/Driver

Overview The circuit shown in Figure 1 is capable of driving an LED array requiring up to several amps with a burst of flashes before coming on until power is removed. It is intended to be used as an auxiliary warning light driver. The initial burst of flashes is meant to enhance visual detection of

Low Capacitance Scope Probe Adapter

An adapter to allow low capacitance probing of high frequency circuits. Overview My boss, Dave, said “Just hold the probe close to the cathode lead.” Dave had worked at Tektronix for many years, and his ability to make difficult measurements was second only to his abilities to manage a company and design clever circuits. Dave’s
