ATmega8 is an atmel’s low-power 8-bit AVR RISC-based microcontroller combines 8KB of programmable flash memory, 1KB of SRAM, 512K EEPROM, and a 6 or 8 channel 10-bit A/D converter. The device supports throughput of 16 MIPS at 16 MHz and operates between 2.7-5.5 volts. To find out its complete Specs, here is the link to ATmega8 datasheet , […]

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

BUT FIRST AN IMPORTANT NOTE: This project uses lethal voltages. If you are not experienced in working with lethal voltages, read this project, but don’t build it. You only have one life, and AC power can take it from you very quickly, or leave you with terrible injuries. When working on high voltages, remember: •

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

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

Be Careful About Peak Current A note of caution: These LEDs are comparatively expensive, so I suggest putting a small resistor (1 to 10 Ohms) in series with the cathode of the LED and measuring the peak current as inferred from the IR drop using either a scope or a peak detection probe (as described
