SMPS Flyback Boost Converter Calculator
This calculator tool supports a Boost Converter Flyback setup which means now the code considers: Corrected turns ratio and primary voltage logic since the flyback works by storing energy during “ON” time and transferring to secondary during “OFF” time. Flyback boost topology where output voltage is higher than input. An accurate duty cycle formula for […]
Smart Buck-Boost MPPT Solar Charger Circuit for 12V 24V Battery
In this post we are going to learn how we can make one real working smart solar battery charger circuit which can do MPPT charging. We are using Arduino Nano as the brain for controlling everything. We will also use INA219 sensor module so that we can read the solar voltage and current properly. And […]

I have explained comprehensively how to build a boost converter circuit for converting a low level DC voltage inputs to a higher level DC voltage outputs. I have furnished all the required calculations s that you can design a customized boost converter circuit. A Practical Boost Converter Circuit Design using IC 555 This simple circuit […]
12 V to 30 V High Current Boost Converter Circuit [Variable]
In this post I have explained how to make a high current boost converter circuit which will step up a 12 V DC to any higher level up to 30 V maximum, and at an impressive 3 amp current rate. This high current output can be further enhanced by suitably upgrading the inductor wire gauge […]
DC to DC Converter Circuits using SG3524 [Buck, Boost Designs]
A DC to DC converter is basically a switch-mode power supply, designed to work either as a boost-converter to step-up a low voltage DC to a higher voltage DC, or as a buck-converter to step-down a higher voltage DC to a lower voltage DC. The switched mode conversion ensures that the power transfer in the […]
