The post explains the technical specifications, datasheet, and application notes of the IC 78H12A which is a voltage regulator IC capable of providing a fixed regulated 12V output at maximum 5 amp current. 5 Amp Regulator Specifications We are familiar with the popular 78XX ICs such as the 7812 IC which can produce 12V fixed voltage at […]
1.5V to 12V DC Converter Circuit Diagram for LEDs
The post provides interesting information regarding the making of a 1.5V to 12V converter circuit using a couple of transistors and an inexpensive coil. The idea was requested by Mr. Keith. The Circuit Request I found your blog and have searched for an answer to my question but I’m just not finding it…. What I want to do […]
0.6V to 6V/12V Boost Converter Circuit Diagram
In this post I have explained how to make a 0.6V to 6V or 12V boost converter circuit using a single chip MC74VHC1G14, which uses under 1V to operate. About the IC MC74VHC1G14 Normally, we all know that a silicon transistor would find it difficult functioning below 0.7V, unlike germanium counterparts which are capable of doing it […]
