USB Mobile charger : samsung

Hey guys! I have a Samsung galaxy S duos (GT-7562). I am traveler , hence I tend to use GPS a lot which drains my mobile battery pretty fast. So I wanted to build a portable charger for my mobile. I got a LM7805 voltage regulator and built a 5 V power supply. I connected it to a female USB port and tried to charge my mobile, but in vain. Then i took a SMPS from a spare computer in my workplace and connected the 5 V output to the female USB port and tried to charge my phone. Yet again my phone did not charge. I was puzzled, my Raspberry Pi was working with both the chargers but not my mobile. So I wondered whether Samsung engineers have utilized the same idea as apple. I have an apple iPod 4G to charge apple products you have to connect thedata pins to a certain potential, this is to prevent fake charging. So after a little research I found that the data pins must be shorted and the pins should be connected to +5 V in series with a 33K resistor and connect it to ground with a 10K resistor in series. As shown in the pic above.

Here are the pics of the USB charger I made...

Switch debouncer using SR Latch

We use switch in our day to day life to switch ON/OFF a bulb or a fan or any electrical devices. But when we use switches in digital circuits, we observe a phenomenon called bouncing. This occurs because, when we turn the switch, the mechanical parts vibrate. i.e It toggles between ON and OFF state for some time until the mechanical contact attain equilibrium. this vibrations are minute and are not at all noticeable in electrical circuit. where as in digital circuits, these vibrations create pulses. which are detected by circuits which results in an error. In the above circuit, there is a switch connected to VCC. You can toggle it between terminal 'a' and terminal 'b'. which as a voltage drop of 'Va' and 'Vb' respectively. In digital circuits if you can observe, it takes a finite amount of time to toggle between terminal 'a' and 'b'. which might approximately take 15ns. Now let us consider the terminal is at 'a'. we...

ADXL 355 Accelerometer

A few days ago I went to get components for a project I was building. and came across a 3-axis accelerometer. So I decided to test it and make a post to give you an idea of things work and how you can use it. ADXL 355 The accelerometer I have is ADXL 355 v2.0 board. there is are 5 headder pins, ground, 5V supply, X-axis output,Y-axis output and Z-axis output. It is quite compact. The one I have measured around 15mm x 15mm. These sensors are low cost. And can be incorporated in Projects or robots we build. The ADXL 355 board I have has an onboard Red led (smd) for the indication of power. The accelerometer has a wide range of applications. ADXL 355 is a basic accelerometer which gives analog values for all the three axis depending upon the position of the IC. ADXL 345 is an advanced accelerometr which can detect free-fall,activity,tap,double tap and communicates via I2C. The ADXL is a a ultra-lowpower as it consumes only 25 u...

Latch using JK Flip Flop

In this post we will learn how to use JK flip flop as a latch. i.e. for one pulse, the circuit continues to stay in the ON state until the next pulse. and the circuit continues to be in the OFF state till the next pulse. This can be achieved by using toggle mode in JK flip flop. TRUTH TABLE: IC 7476 J k set ' reset' Q Q' 1 1 1 1 Toggle IC CD4026 J k set reset Q Q' 1 1 0 0 Toggle Note: Set is referred as PRE or preset. Reset is referred as CLR or clear. Refer the Datasheet of the JK flip flop you are using ...
