Portable Solar Lantern Circuit Diagram

Image
This portable solar lantern circuit uses 6 volt/5 watt solar panels are now widely available. With the help of such a photo-voltaic panel we can construct an economical, simple but efficient and truly portable solar lantern unit. Next important component required is a high power (1watt) white LED module. When solar panel is well exposed to sunlight, about 9 volt dc available from the panel can be used to recharge a 4.8 volt /600 mAh rated Ni-Cd batterypack. Here red LED (D2) functions as a charging process indicator with the help of resistor R1. Resistor R2 regulates the charging current flow to near 150mA. Solar Lantern Circuit Schematic Assuming a 4-5 hour sunlit day, the solar panel (150mA current set by the charge controller resistor R2) will pump about 600 – 750 mAh into the battery pack. When power switch S1 is turned on, dc supply from the Ni-Cd battery pack is extended to the white LED (D3). Resistor R3 determines the LED current. Capacitor C1 works as a buffer. Note: After con...

AM and FM Radio with LA1800 Portable

Image
This portable AM and FM radio circuit is designed using the LA1800 IC and some other external components. As you can see in this circuit diagram the LA1800 manufactured by Sanyo Semiconductors , require few additional components. The LA1800 am FM portable radio circuit needs to be powered from a 3 volt DC power supply circuit. AM and FM Radio with LA1800 Portable Circuit Diagram You can use an 3 volt battery. This radio receiver circuit has a low current dissipation of 5.6mA for FM band and 3.2mA for AM band .Also the output signal is driven into earphone speakers , but you can use an additional speaker ( in that case you need to connect an additional small power audio amplifier).
