Latest DC TO DC Converter Circuit Diagram


Here’s a low-cost circuit to convert 6V DC into 12V DC. It uses no transformer and is easy to construct with few components.

The circuit is built around IC 555, which generates the required frequency of around 2 to 10 kHz to drive power transistor BD139 (T2). The output frequency of the IC can be adjusted by a 47k potmeter (VR1) and given to the base of transistor T2 via resistor R3. Transistor T2 is mounted on an aluminium heat-sink. Inductor L1 and capacitor C5 (2200µF, 35V) are energy storage components. The 12V zener diode regulates the voltage across the output of the circuit.

The inductor comprises 100 turns of 24SWG enamelled copper wire wound on a 40mm dia. toroidal ferrite core. The more the turns on the core, the higher the current delivering capability of the circuit to the load at the output.

The output current is controlled by transistor BC549 (T1) with the help of resistors R4 and R5. The output voltage is controlled by the zener diode and smoothed by capacitor C5.

You can obtain regulated 12V DC, 120 mA across the output of this circuit. At higher loads (below 100 ohms), the circuit might not perform well and deliver as much current. Use a large capacitor (C5) and inductor for higher voltages and higher currents, respectively. Different output voltages can be obtained by using zener diodes of other ratings.

3 Channels Audio Splitter Amplifier Circuit Diagram using TL084

This is the schematic diagram of 3 channels audio splitter amplifier circuit which built using op-amp IC TL084. The 3 channels amplifier output distribution applies a single TL084.   3 Channels Audio Splitter Amplifier Circuit Diagram The very first step is to capacitive coupling having a p. 1.0 ~ electrolytic capacitor. The entries are railways Vee Y2 or 4.5 V. This enables working with an individual 9V power source. A voltage gain of 10 (1 M?/100 Kohm) is obtained in the first stage, as well as the other three floors are connected as a unity gain voltage followers. Every single output stage drives independently through an amplifier output 50 pF capacitor towards the resistance of 5.1 k ohm load. The response range is flat from 10 Hz to 30 kHz.

Simple But Automatic Load Sensing Power Switch

This circuit will automatically switch on several mains-powered "slave" loads when a "master" load is turned on. For example, it will switch on the amplifier and CD player in a stereo system when the receiver is turned on. It works by sensing the current draw of the "master" device through a low value high wattage resistor using a comparator. The output of that comparator then switches on the "slave" relay. The circuit can be built into a power bar, extension cord or power center to provide a convenient set of "smart" outlets that switch on when the master appliance is powered (turn on the computer monitor and the computer, printer and other peripherals come on as well). Automatic Load Sensing Power Switch Circuit Diagram Parts List: Notes: This circuit is designed for 120V operation. For 240V operation, resistors R2 and R6 will need to be changed. A maximum of 5A can be used as the master unless the wattage of R1 is increased S1 provid...

RF amplifier protection

RF amplifier protection I have developed the protection circuit for the EB104 amplifier I am working on, after I finally had some time to design and test a few models. The main requirements have been: - protection in case of high temperature; - protection in case of high SWR; - protection in case of wrong output filter selection; - simple design (i’m a fan of the whole K.I.S.S. rule of thought), able to work in strong electromagnetic fields, reliable, inexpensive. Because i will be using the same directional coupler i have used in the SWR meter (the one made on PCB) wich is directly influenced by the signal frequency, and because i want full HF coverage, i cannot just measure the reflected signal and make a circuit cut the amplifier when it goes over a limit; on 28Mhz the coupler generates roughly 4 times more voltage that let’s say in 7Mhz. So a system that compares direct and reflected signal and triggers when the latter is percentually too high was needed, therefore an operational a...
