This BQ24295 IC is like a super smart charger chip. This one is not just for charging battery, but also doing many other jobs like boost converter, USB detection, power path control, and even OTG (host power supply). So we can say that this is a full battery charging and power management IC. Let us […]

Do We Need a Freewheeling Diode Across the Inductor in Boost Converter?
So here we are trying to understand whether we must put a freewheeling diode directly across the inductor in a boost converter or not, to safeguard the switching transistor? How Boost Converter Works So in a boost converter, we got one inductor, one power switch like a MOSFET, one diode and one output capacitor. Input […]
DC-DC Boost Module (0.9V~5V) to 5V 600mA USB Step-up Board
So this is a DC-DC boost converter that takes a low voltage (0.9V to 5V) and steps it up to a stable 5V. We use this when we have a small battery, but we need 5V output, like for USB devices. It is super useful for battery-powered projects and small electronics. Main Features How It […]
USB 5V To 24V DC to DC Boost Power Regulator Module
This is a USB 5V to 24V Adjustable Boost Converter Module and it helps us step up a lower voltage into a higher voltage which we can adjust as needed. Now let us go through everything in detail step by step. Inputs – Where We Give Power Now we got three ways to power this […]

Let’s learn about its main features in greater details: Main Features: Input Voltage Range: We can feed this module with an input voltage ranging from DC 2.5-11.5V. […]
Simple Boost Converter Circuit Diagrams using Transistors
In this post I have explained a few very simple boost converter circuits using only BJTs, or transistors. Let’s learn more. What is a Boost Converter A DC boost converter circuit is designed for stepping-up or boosting a small input voltage levels to a desired higher output voltage level, hence the name “boost” converter. Since […]
