The project presented here is a precision closed-loop LED driver that provides very accurate constant light and can be used for photography, scientific research, and other applications that require an accurate light source. The project consists of light sensor OPT101 and OPA569 power...

The highly efficient DC brushed motor driver including an onboard shunt resistor for current regulation presented here is built using the DRV8251 chip. The operating supply voltage range of the project is 4.5V to 48V DC and the default output current capability is 2.1A. A trimmer...

The INA330 breakout board is a great tool for TEC plate temperature measurements. The INA330 based precision amplifier is designed for thermoelectric cooler (TEC) control in optical networking applications. It is optimized for use in 10k thermistor-based temperature controllers. The...

The Robot Controller is a very compact solution for controlling small and medium size robots using an Infrared remote. The project is fully Arduino compatible and consists of an ATMEGA328 microcontroller, 2 x BD6211 motor drivers, TSOP1838 IR sensor. BD6211 H-bridge is a full bridge...

The project presented here is a professional quality Phantom powered Microphone pre-amplifier. The project is built using the INA163 chip from TI. The Chip is a very low-noise, low-distortion, monolithic instrumentation amplifier. R2 and R3 provide a current path for a conventional...

The project presented here is an isolated RS-485 transceiver that features up to ±42 V of ac/dc peak bus overvoltage fault protection on the RS-485 bus pins. The project is based on the ADM2795E chip. The device integrates Analog Devices, Inc., iCoupler® technology to combine a...

This Crowbar project can be used for preventing an overvoltage or surge condition of a power supply unit from damaging the circuit connected to the power supply. It operates by putting a short circuit and fuse blow across the voltage output, like dropping a crowbar across the output...

The project presented here is a boost converter with 24V output from 4.5V to 20V DC Input. The project is built using an LT8357 chip and configured as a boost converter. Under voltage lockout, and soft-start are a few key features of the project. LED D1 indicates the output, and screw...
