Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E. :
  • Incandescent Lamp Inrush Current Limiter
    This circuit limits the large inrush current often associated with large incandescent lamps.  With the components shown the current is limited to 1 amp, but it could be scaled to any desired current. (added 7/06)

IC Controlled Emergency Light with Charger - (electronic Circuit / Schematic added 10/04)
Idea for a Low Voltage Light Dimmer - A light dimmer is a means of controlling the "brightness" level of a lamp, in this application we will use a555 Timer to control the brightness level of a low voltage incandescent bulb of up to 60-Watts. For the light dimmer to work the555 Timer is configured as a "variable cycle", astable oscillator running some where around300 Hz. (added 4/02)

Instrument panel lamp dimmer control Circuit - This circuit uses an MC3392 low side protected switch and an MC1455 timing circuit to form an automotive instrumentation panel lamp dimmer control. The brightness of incandescent lamps….(electronic design added 09/08)
IR21571 Ballast Control IC Design Kit - The IRPLLNR2 is a high efficiency, high power factor, fixed output electronic ballast designed for driving rapid start fluorescent lamp types. The design contains an EMI filter, active power factor correction and a ballast control circuit using the IR21571. This demo board is intended to  ....(added 3/05)
IR21592 Dimming Ballast Control IC Design Kit - The IRPLDIM1U is a high efficiency, high power factor, dimming electronic ballast designed for driving rapid start fluorescent lamp types. The design contains an EMI filter, active power factor correction and a ballast control circuit using the IR21592. This demo board is intended to ease the evaluation of the IR21592 Dimming Ballast Control IC.... (added 3/05)
IRPLMB1E: 25W 230VAC Small Size Ballast using IR2520D - The circuit is built around the IR2520D Ballast Control IC. The IR2520D provides adjustable preheat time, adjustable run frequency to set the lamp power, high starting frequency for soft start and to avoid lamp flash, fault protection for open filament condition and failure to strike, low AC line protection and auto-restart after line brownout conditions. line brownout conditions. (added 3/05)
Japanesque Ceiling Light - This is a Japanesque ceiling light without any electronics. Everybody will able to build easy even if they have no electronic skill.  (added 10/05)
