CASE ANALYSIS

Scenario

Designing a portable table fan that operates on a rechargeable 12V battery and alerts the user when the battery voltage drops below a safe threshold.

Key decisions

  • Use of a diode to isolate charger from battery and prevent reverse current
  • Comparator-based low battery detection with a zener reference voltage
  • SPST switch to manually toggle the fan motor
  • Model fan as a generic resistive load (R_fan) for simplicity

When to reuse this

Suitable for DIY electronics enthusiasts building a portable cooling solution or any battery-operated device requiring a low-voltage indicator.
