 Zener diode (3.3) – 1

Components Description:

1. LM317: It is a variable voltage supplier. It is a device with three

terminals. It works on voltage range of 1.25 V to 37 V at a current of 1.5
amps.
2. Resistor– The flow of current in any of the circuit is being controlled by
the resistor. It is basically a passive device. There are two types of
resistor available i.e
1. Fixed Resistor – whose value of resistance is fixed
2. Variable Resistor – whose value of resistance can vary
3. Capacitor– It is used to store the electrical charges . It is also a passive
device and are available in the market in two types i.e.
1. Polarized Capacitor – Capacitors with polarity i.e. have + and –
terminal eg electrolytic capacitor
2. Non-Polarized Capacitor – Capacitor without any polarity e.g.
ceramic and paper capacitor.
4. Diode – It is mainly used to allow the single directional flow of current. It
is a passive device with two terminals.
5. Switches -Literal sense of a switch is “transform of state”. In an
electrical logic, ON and OFF are the two conditions and switch assist to
alter the condition of an electrical machine from ON to OFF or reverse.
 Firmly talking, it doesn’t turn on or off the machine; it merely creates or
break the contact.
6. LED (Light emitting diode) – It is a semiconductor device that
produces a diverse source of beam at its output. When they are
electrically biased in the forward state of p-n junction it emits a narrow
spectrum of light. LED are found in the market very easily in a variety of
colors via red, yellow, green and many more like white, orange etc.
7. Transformer -A transformer  is a device which is used for transforming
current from one circuit to another.  During the transformation process,
characteristic of AC signal changes. For example a low voltage AC may
be changed to a high voltage AC and vice versa. The working of the
transformer is based on the magnetic field to build around the conductor
when current flows through it. This principle is called as electromagnetic
mutual induction. Transformers are made up of two coils of wire wrapped
around a core.
8. Battery – Battery is mainly a group of one or more than one
electrochemical cell and in that chemical energy that is already stored is
turned into electrical energy. From the age of Volta the principles of
operation have not been altered. Every cell in the battery is made up of
two halves of cells which are linked in series via an electrolytic solution.
While 1/3 of the cell is made up of two houses named as the anode and
cathode positive ions of the anode roam from the electrolyte to the
cathode.
9. Zener Diode – This diode work in the reverse bias  state and start
conducting when the voltage achieves the break point. If you want to get
stable voltage then all you need is to  couple a resistor across it so that
current flow can control.

Working of Mobile Phone Battery Charger Circuit:

As per your need you can take the output from  the circuit by just  flipping the
different number of switches (from S3, S4 and S5) in the circuit. If you require
the variable power supply as your output than set switch S3 into “on” state.
LM317 is used in the circuit which is a variable voltage regulator to  supply
variable power. The LM317 is basically positive voltage regulator has three
terminals. 1.2 V to  37V is the range of the output  voltage that is provided by
the LM317. Different range of voltage can be achieved by just  adjusting  the
variable resistor that is provided in the circuit and with the help of multimeter
output can be seen and the voltage which is desirable can set. The power
supply range  can altar from 1.5V to  12V.

With the help of flipping the S5 switch which is provided in the circuit Li-ions 
battery can be charged, which are generally used in the mobile phones with
the assist of your mobile connectors. While the charging current in the circuit 
is being controlled with the help of resistor R13. Turn over to switch S5 if you
want  to use the emergency light. Reflectors can be used in the circuit if you
wish to enlarge the intensity of light.

S1 and S2 are the two switches that are given in the circuit so that you can
power your circuit either directly with the AC supply or else you can take help
of any battery. If you want to use an AC supply than flip to switch S1 while if
you want to have supplied from the battery than flip to switch S2. In the place 
of  AC power supply solar panels can be used and for storing the charge you
can take rechargeable batteries, this will not merely save electric bill but also
assist you a lot in the state of power failure.

USB Mobile Charger Circuit

SEPTEMBER 2, 2015 BY ADMINISTRATOR 9 COMMENTS

Now the charging of your mobiles has been made easy with the help of USB
outlets present in the Laptop and PC. For the charging of your mobile phone,
this circuit provides you a regulated voltage of 4.7 volts. 5  volts of DC voltage
and 100mA of current is being provided by the USB outlet which is well
enough for the mobile phone charging slowly. We can use this circuit to
charge the mobile while we are in journey also. So, we may treat it as Mobile
Phone Travel Charger Circuit.

The USB port of the mobile is used for the charging, as the USB port is the
very helpful voltage source that can charge the mobile. Nowadays, there are
two to four USB ports on the laptops that are available in the market. USB
actually refers to Universal Serial Bus. It is one of the newest incarnations of
method which is used to get information in as well as out from your computer.
We are concerned at the fact that ±5 volts of power is being provided by the
USB port to the external devices and can avail at the pin number1 while on
pin number 4, it is 0V. Till 100 mA of current can get from the USB port which
is more than sufficient that we required for this small application.

 Capacitor: It is mainly  used to store the charges. It is of two types
polarized and non-polarized, electrolytic capacitor is an example of
polarized while ceramic and paper is non polarized.
 Transistor: It used to enlarge the signal strength or to open or close the
circuit.
 Zener Diode: When the voltage achieves the breakdown point it starts
working but in the reverse bias state.
 Diode: It is a having two terminal named as anode and cathode. It
allows the current to flow only in the forward direction while stopping the
flow of current in the backward direction.
USB Mobile Charger Circuit Description:

The large number of mobile batteries work on 3.6

volts 1000 to 1300mAh.These battery are combinations of three Lithium cells
whose voltage rating is 1.2 volts for each. And for charging mobile quickly
there is a need of 4.5 volts and current range of 300-500 mA.

If you want to increase the efficiency of your battery than it is good to charge it
slowly. The circuit which is explained below work on 4.7 regulated voltage and
provide sufficient amount of current for the slow charging of your mobile
phones. The voltage at the output  is harmonized by the transistor named T1.
While the output voltage is being controlled by the Zener diode ZD and the
polarity of the output which is supply is protected by D1.

”A type” of USB plug should be connected with the front part of the circuit. To
ease the polarity identification connects pin1 to the red color wire while the
black color of the wire is connected with pin 4.Now connect the output of the
circuit with the appropriate charger pin to attach it with your mobile phones.
After all the parts of the circuit gather together, put the USB plug in the socket
and from the circuit measure the output with the help of multimeter. If you got
the correct output and if the polarity is connected in the right manner then
attached your mobile phone with it.

Now a days you will get a multicharger easily available marker just purchase
one and charge your moble easily when you are in train or bus as every now
carries laptop or note pad with them.

Note: Extreme care is needed to be taken that polarity are connected in the

right manner, if it attached in wrong style it will damage the battery of your
mobile phone.

For constructing USB mobile charger, there is a need of USB cable and the
cable must have minimum one male plug with a strip back of about 5cm
having  external padding and safeguard from the “uncovered” end of the USB
cable. In general the USB cables are made up of four cables of colors red,
while along with black and green ( along with the protestors). As the wire of
green and white are used to transfer the data, so there is no need of that wire
hence these wires can be trimmed (there we should need to pay attention that
the wires within their padding and are not exposed). Typically black color wire
is negative one while the red color wire is positive one. 5V is the voltage that
we get from the USB port. And more than 500mA current cannot be supplied
to the device that is attached to the USB port. Attached the power line with the
USB plug examine the right polarity.
