Solar Power Supply with MAX630

This electronic circuit project of solar power supply circuit diagram is based on the MAX630 CMOS micropower step-up switching regulator manufactured by Maxxim Semiconductor. Maxim’s MAX630 CMOS DC-DC regulator is designed for simple, efficient, minimum-size DC-DC converter circuits in the 5mW to 5W range. The MAX630 IC provide all control and power handling functions in a 8-pin package.

Solar Power Supply with MAX630:

This solar power supply circuit can deliver a 4.8 or 7.2 volts output voltage using a 3 volts input from a bank of photocells.

The efficiency of this solar power supply circuit is around 70%. To chose the output voltage of the solar power supply regulator you need to choose the correct value of the R1 resistor. If you want that the power supply to provide a 4.8 volts at the output, the value of the R1 resistor should be around 453K ohms and if you want to obtain a 7.2 volts at the output, the value of the R1 resistor must be around 273k ohms. The value of the C1 and C3 from the circuit diagram is in microfarads.

The maximum current provided by this power supply circuit diagram is around 15mA

A basic Arduino Solar PV Monitor

I have just recently had solar pv installed, mainly to future proof my energy costs, I do not expect it to be like drilling for oil in my back garden, however the return looks to be encouraging. The install gives you another single unit meter, from this you will see the total amount the panels produce, but that is about it. I wanted to know how much the production was as it was happening, I discovered the light blinks on the front of the meter will flash 1000 times for each kWh of electricity which passes through. The rate of the flashing of the LED tells you how much power is currently passing through the meter. [ ]

Apple releases TV spot for new iPods

Apple has just released a fun commercial to showcase its new line of iPod players and the various colours they come in. The TV spot titled ‘Bounce’, has a bunch of colourful iPod touch, iPod nano and iPod shuffles er…bouncing to music. With all that colour and dancing and bouncing, you may forget that Apple’s latest gen line of iPods has some other awesome features. For instance, the fifth gen iPod touch comes with Siri, 4-inch retina display and an A5 chipset. Maybe the next ad will showcase some of these features with less bouncing.link

3 Channels Audio Splitter Amplifier Circuit Diagram using TL084

This is the schematic diagram of 3 channels audio splitter amplifier circuit which built using op-amp IC TL084. The 3 channels amplifier output distribution applies a single TL084. 3 Channels Audio Splitter Amplifier Circuit Diagram The very first step is to capacitive coupling having a p. 1.0 ~ electrolytic capacitor. The entries are railways Vee Y2 or 4.5 V. This enables working with an individual 9V power source. A voltage gain of 10 (1 M?/100 Kohm) is obtained in the first stage, as well as the other three floors are connected as a unity gain voltage followers. Every single output stage drives independently through an amplifier output 50 pF capacitor towards the resistance of 5.1 k ohm load. The response range is flat from 10 Hz to 30 kHz.
