XL6009 is a DC-DC switching regulator IC, and we use it where lower voltage DC has to be lifted higher, or sometimes changed other ways, boost, buck-boost, flyback, even inverting, all that is possible depending how outside parts are connected. Why XL6009 is More Efficient Than Linear Regulators It is not like old regulator types […]

Higher Variable Output Voltage from IC 7812
You may have often wondered whether it was feasible to get higher voltages than 12 V from a 7812 IC? In this short post I have explained how to configure the IC 7812 with a BJT stage, so that its output can be made variable for achieving any desired voltage higher than 12 V, without […]
2 Simple MOSFET Gate Driver Circuits using BJTs
Very often we see that output coming from a microcontroller, oscillator, comparator, or PWM stage is just not strong enough for driving a power MOSFET directly, it gives signal, yes, but gate does not respond properly unless some decent current reaches there. A MOSFET gate behaves like a small capacitor, so now unless that gate […]
7 Simple Continuity Tester Circuits Explained
If you are looking for a simple circuit to test continuity of wires and long conductors, the explained 7 easy to build continuity circuits are the ones which you can try and might fulfill your requirement. What is a Continuity Tester A continuity tester is a device which is used for identifying the correct continuity […]
How to Make a 3 Phase VFD Circuit
The presented 3 phase VFD circuit (designed by me) can be used for controlling the speed of any three phase brushed AC motor or even a brushless AC motor. The idea was requested by Mr. Tom Using the VFD The proposed 3-phase VFD circuit can be universally applied for most 3-phase AC motors where the […]
12V DC to 220V DC Boost Converter Circuit
In this article I have explained a very simple method of acquiring 220V DC from a 12V DC source. The idea utilizes inductor/oscillator based boost topology with the help of the IC 555. Circuit Operation Now let us learn more about this simple 12V to 220V DC boost converter circuit, which is built around IC […]
