TinyLoad is a simple electronic constant current dummy load. The ATtiny measures voltage, current and temperature of the heat sink, calculates power, energy and battery capacity, controls the fan and displays all relevant data on the OLED. The button is used to switch between...

Not sure there is anyone on the internet who loves the Attiny series of microcontrollers as much as Stefan Wagner. We have explored a number of projects from him, from the USB power tester to the TinyRemote with ATtiny13, all based on a member of the Attiny series of microcontrollers....

The increased interest in IoT and electric automobiles around the world is driving an increase in the use of Lithium-Ion/Lithium-Polymer/NiCd/NiMH batteries as more devices and applications are using them, due to their high energy storage capacity to size ratio. This increased interest...

Diodes Incorporated has announced the introduction of the AP22913, a 2A single-channel, slew-rate-controlled load switch with true reverse current blocking for high-side load-switching applications. Single-channel high-side load switches provide an effective way of applying or removing...

Prevent your battery from charging non-essential loads with BatteryProtect. BatteryProtect is one of those smaller but much sought after products, one that is shipped in the many thousands. The latest version now has Victron ‘Smart’ tech. No more fiddling with wires to program, as...

The STPW12 is an integrated electronic power breaker, optimized to monitor the input power. Connected in series to the power rail, it is able to disconnect the electronic circuitry on its output if the power consumption overcomes the programmed limit. When this happens, the device...

Anthony Smith has designed a simple load switch using two transistors and some resistors. The simple current-limiting load switch shown in Figure 1 will be familiar to most readers. In this circuit, a high level signal applied to the input switches on MOSFET Q2, which energizes the...

Kiril Karagiozov @ edn.com has a circuit idea that is able to deliver constant power to a load. This is done by generating energy pulses, independent of resistance of the load. If you have a load with a variable or poorly specified resistance and want to regulate the power applied to...
