In this article I continue my project where I needed a constant current source. In the previous article I talked about the first approach the LM317 constant current source which didn’t worked out that well but could of been improved as suggested by some of my readers in the comments. So I decided to use a dc-dc converter and turn it into a constant current source. Since I’m using the TPS54232 in another project and I have it around I decided to use it. This technique can also be applied to other dc-dc converters with a bit of reading on the subject.
Build Accurate LC Meter and start making your own coils and inductors. This LC Meter allows to measure incredibly small inductances making it perfect tool for making all types of RF coils. LC Meter can measure inductances starting from 10nH - 1000nH, 1uH - 1000uH, 1mH - 100mH and capacitances from 0.1pF up to 900nF. The circuit includes an auto ranging and reset function to make sure the readings are as accurate as possible ... [more]
