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 […]
How to Make a 220V to 110V Converter Circuit
In this post we will unravel a few homemade crude 220V to 110V converter circuits options which will enable to user the user use it for operating small gadgets with a different voltage specs. UPDATE: An SMPS circuit is the recommended option for building this converter, so for an SMPS 220V to 110V converter design […]
How to Build a Boost Converter Circuit: Explained with Calculations
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 […]
How to Design a Flyback Converter – Comprehensive Tutorial
A flyback configuration is the preferred topology in SMPS application designs mainly because it guarantees complete isolation of the output DC from the input mains AC. Other features include low manufacturing cost, simpler design and uncomplicated implementation. The low current DCM version of flyback converters which include output specification lower than 50 watt are more […]
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 […]
