    Learn how to build this awesome USB charger circuit that can be used to power all of your USB devices. It is important to note that this is not the most efficient charging circuit that you can build for USB devices. As a matter of fact there is basically a single chip with a few inputs and outputs that will do all of this for you with just a few wires. And much more efficiently. The problem is that doesn’t make a very good teaching tutorial. As a matter of fact it’s basically magic. And so with this we can discover each individual step of converting AC high voltage down to a regulated 5V DC that your USB devices can use. So that’s the reason that I chose this method.

      ...and then there's usually a chip inside each device itself to handle the trickier parts - current regulation and timing - for the battery itself. Dave Jones of EEVBlog did "an exercise" (or just didn't want to have to buy _yet another_ battery charger) showing the various steps used to recharge batteries using a bench power supply: Unlike car batteries, Li-ion and even the others involve a complex little ritual to ensure maximum safety, efficiency, and lifetime. ruclips.net/video/jNmlxBXEqW0/видео.html
      BTW too bad Jones is in Australia because I think you, he, and another Dave we all know & love would have a blast hanging out; and no doubt your brother could probably get a lot of insight as he develops his 8-bit dream project.
      Thanks for another good starter tutorial, and more so for leaving in the part where the magic blue smoke made a run for it.

    Just a quick Question for chargers. I'm building a 9V battery iPhone charger and I want to use a usb connector as the output. Since I'm doing it from scratch, I'm building all the parts myself. One USB connector in particular has a VCC and GND pin but it also has a D+ and D- as well as SHELL pins. What do these mean and I'm wondering if I should just ground the data pins if its just for a charger.

    and in other parts of the world, step down the voltage from 220 - 240v AC, if you want to expand on this, look at showing a SMPS, both low amps and high amps version, the concept is easy, but the high current ones are challenging, currently build a custom SMPS for my 3D printer, so I can save some space and get an ATX style power button on it

  • @MrGeekGamer
    @MrGeekGamer 4 года назад

    I've seen people using caps around the voltage regulator, but I've never seemed to need them. I built something similar a while back, but I just used a smoothing capacitor after the bridge rectifier and it worked just fine. The scope showed a nice, stable 5v output.

    • @kimpearson5465
      @kimpearson5465 4 года назад +1

      Before or after can work. Both is much better. If there is a line problem before the regulator such as a quick under-voltage, a cap before will save the day.

    It’s important to note that this type of circuit will not fast charge many modern devices. Devices that can draw a higher current look on the USB data lines to see if the charger is compatible with a high load, and if they don’t see the appropriate voltage on those data lines, they will only charge at a slow rate.

    • @TheGeekPub
      @TheGeekPub  4 года назад +2

      That's correct. Any type of device that queries the charger will see this as a slow charge device, but it will still charge unless it *requires* fast charging.
