Making a buck converter
In my previous postI explained how to decide when you need a buck converter rather than a linear regulator. In this post I am going to explain how to build a buck converter into your project. Drop in…
Powering a circuit with linear regulators and buck converters
Most electronic projects need a stable voltage source, typically 5V or 3.3V DC. Here we discuss how to choose when to use a linear voltage regulator and when to use a buck converter. What's the…
Arduino PWM MOSFET Gate Resistor
If you are driving a logic level MOSFET directly from an Arduino, or another Atmel AVR such as an ATTiny85, you may have wondered what value resistor should be placed between the output pin and the…
