The market is flooded with cheap mobile charger circuit. Some of you may be looking
for this type of charger circuit diagram and components list.

These mobile chargers uses only few parts, very simple design. But there’s a drawback
too, they got damaged easily.

Some of my friends keeps asking how to repair mobile charger circuit, so I’ve decided to
do a little reverse engineering of those chargers.

Cheap 220V AC mobile charger circuit diagram


First of all, lets have a look at the charger’s circuit diagram. As transformer is a bit odd,
so I’ve also decided to draw it by hands.

Unfortunately every charger circuit is not same, some of them contains few extra
capacitors or resistors.

But even though, you can get a clear overview of the mobile charger circuit from the
Circuits DIY Home Basic Electronics LED Drivers Projects About
above diagram.

The design is quite straight forward, built on a paper phenolic PCB, could be easily
repaired.

Part list of the mobile charger circuit


Finally the part list, you can replace most of them by their closest alternative.

1. Q1 – 13001 transistor

2. D1 – 1N4007 diode

3. D2 – 6.2V Zener diode

4. D3 – 1N4148 diode

5. D4 – SB260 schottky diode

6. R1 – 6.8 Ohm – 1/2 watt

7. R2 – 1 MOhm – 1/4 watt

8. R3 – 6.8 kOhm – 1/8 watt

9. R4 – 330 Ohm -1/4 watt

10. C1 – 2.2uF – 450V

11. C2 – 4.77uF – 50V

12. C3- 680pF ceramic (681)

13. C4 – 470uF – 10V

As I’ve said before, this type of 13001 transistor charger circuit may vary in design
and part number. But the basic circuit is same, few of them have a little LED as indicator.

Transformer details:

Primary: Around 250 turns of 36 to 40 SWG enamelled copper wire.

Secondary: 6 turns of 26 to 28 SWG enamelled copper wire. 

Auxiliary feedback: 8 to 15 turns of 36 to 40 SWG copper wire.

If the transformer is broken, you can use the transformer from other broken charger of
similar type.

Working of mobile charger circuit


Let’s discus about how this circuit works, first have a look at the picture below.

1. The first stage is a half wave rectifier, made with D1, R1 and C1. It rectifies and filters the AC
input to high voltage DC. So, the voltage between point A and poing B is approximately 170
volt for 120V AC input and 311 volt for 220 volt AC input.

2. The Second step is a self oscillating(ringing choke converter, RCC) flyback oscillator, consisted 

of all the parts shown inside the red box and the primary+auxiliary winding of the transformer.

3. So how the flyback oscillator oscillates? When the AC power is connected, base of the transistor
 through
starts opening as it’s biased by the Resistor R2. The current Facebook 
primary windingGoogle+
starts
rising rapidly, and reaches to the threshold level within no time.

4. But at the same time, an opposite(but low) voltage starts rising across the auxiliary winding of
the transformer. This opposite voltage starts charging the capacitor C3 negatively, much faster
https://www.circuitsdiy.com/mobile-charger-circuit-diagram/ 4/13
8/21/2019 Mobile charger circuit diagram, 100-220V AC – Circuits DIY

than charging it through R2, thus ultimately blocks current flow through primary winding.
Circuits DIY Home Basic Electronics LED Drivers Projects About
5. As there’s no more current flow in the auxilary winding, C3 starts discharging through R3 and
the current through R2 again starts opening the base of transistor Q1.

6. This process repeats itself again and again very fast. May be around 10,000 to 50,000 times a
second, depending on various parameters. So ultimately we got the circuit oscillating.

7. As the circuit is oscillating, the energy stored in the primary winding is dumped in the
secondary winding as well, when the transistor is in off state.

8. The Rectifier 2 stage is responsible for rectifying and filtering the induced current and voltage
on the secondary. The rectified and smoothed voltage apears between poing C and D. Which
could be as high as 8-9 volt under no load. But very quickly drops when a load is connected.

9. The resistance R4 ensures a little current flow, thus prevents the capacitor from being over
charged.

As there’s no feedback mechanism between low voltage side and the oscillator, the
voltage drops between point C and D when a load is connected.

Conclusion
Well, that’s certainly not the easiest explanation, but I think simple enough to
understand what’s happening inside the mobile charger circuit.

If you have any question or suggestion, please feel free to ask through the comments.

Can you please explain this in deep. Like how resistancevalues are calculted and how turns
ratio is calculated for this circuit and orher mobile charger circuit …and why non polarized
capacitor is used etc etc..
Thanks

Hi Mr.Arnab,

You have not shown the phasing of the ouput winding or described use of D2, D3 and C2.
I think they make up a crude voltage feedback network. The dot should be on the bottom of
the secondary under these conditions. D3 rectifies this voltage and if +ve output increases
on the output, a more -ve voltage is generated across C2 which in turn reduces drive to Q1
through D2.
I would also like added a comment that working directly with mains voltages is very
dangerous and the transformer particularly could suffer insulation breakdown in use possibly
putting mains voltages on the output whilst in use.

The current through the Q1 is not limited at all: the transistor can damage.Also when the
charger is starting, the hight current pulses can produce high voltage spikes (thanks to a
leakage inductance). To avoid it, you must insert current sensor (from emitter to ground)
and current limitter.Like this: http://www.embed.com.ua/wp-
