High Power LED flashing beacon uses a switching regulator
https://www.electronics-lab.com/high-power-led-flashing-beacon-uses-switching-regulator/
This flasher/beacon circuit can be employed as a distress signal on highways, a direction pointer for parking lots, hospitals, and hotels, etc. The circuit uses a power LED, and provides more light than a typical incandescent lamp flasher. Use of a 6 V or 12 V SLA lantern battery makes the circuit portable. The heart […]
Create +/-12V Split Rail From A 5V Bias
https://www.electronics-lab.com/create-12v-split-rail-5v-bias/
With digital semiconductor technology driving system power supplies to lower voltages for higher performance and lower system power, sensitive analog sensor circuits face a growing problem. Much of the inherent noise created in the early stages of an analog sensor signal path is independent of the amplifier bias voltage, so using a higher bias voltage […]
