01 Research
Learning about the manufacturing processes.
A mobile charger is a device that
provides electrical energy into a cell
battery by forcing current through it.
Disassembly Reassembly
learning about the manufacturing Dismantling properly ensures proper
processes helps to dismantle reassembly.

DC
Analysis:
- the transistor and fast switching make the DC voltage to AC Primary winding
(15kHz-50kHz) which is thousands of times faster. It looks
almost like cloack pulse.
Secondary
Winding
- This output is fed to the transformer. The transformer has 3
windings - primary, secondary, auxillary.
Low currents are fed to primary winding.
Auxillary winding is used to run oscillatory circuit.
Auxillary
Winding
Analysis & Evaluate:
AC to DC Conversion
The output at primary and auxillary winding is induced in
Capacitor
secondary winding (step-down ~ to 10V). 470uf/10V
And this is connected to a diode and capacitor (470uf/10V).
This rectifies and smoothens the voltage (~5V) .
