Charging System Without Microcontrollers
This setup demonstrates a basic charging system using analog components instead of microcontrollers, relying on diodes, resistors, capacitors, and transistors to regulate power flow.
Key Components & Their Roles
- Diode – Prevents reverse current flow, ensuring proper charging direction.
- Resistor – Limits current to protect components.
- Capacitor – Stores and stabilizes voltage during charging.
- Transistor – Acts as a switch to control charging.
- LED – Indicates charging status.
- 9V Battery – Provides power to the circuit.
Working Principle
- The diode ensures current flows in the correct direction.
- The capacitor stabilizes voltage fluctuations.
- The transistor controls the charging process based on voltage levels.
- The LED lights up when charging is active.
- The resistor prevents excessive current flow, protecting the circuit.
