A voltage to frequency converter circuit converts a proportionately varying input voltage int a proportionately varying output frequency. The first design is using the IC VFC32 which is an advanced voltage to frequency converter device from BURR-BROWN specifically designed to produce an extremely proportional frequency response to the fed input voltage for a given voltage […]

High Voltage, High Current Buck Converter Circuit using Isolated Gate Driver
This is a high voltage 310V to 60V buck converter, so we have that big 310V DC coming in which we usually get after rectifying 220V AC mains. So now that high DC is there and we want to push it down to something like 60V or lower for battery charging or similar work. Audio/Video […]
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 […]
Difference Between Forward Converter and Flyback Converter
We know SMPS can be made in different ways, but two common ones are flyback converter and forward converter, which may look same at first. But inside working is not same at all, so this part matters before you design transformer or power stage. Audio/Video Representation Flyback Converter We see a flyback converter works in […]
XL6009 DC-DC Converter IC: Pinout, Working, Circuit Diagram, and Applications
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 […]
3 Frequency to Voltage Converter Circuits Explained
As the name suggests frequency to voltage converters are devices that convert a varying frequency input into a correspondingly varying output voltage levels. Here we study three easy yet advanced designs using IC 4151, IC VFC32 and IC LM2907. 1) Using IC 4151 This frequency voltage converter circuit using IC 4151 is characterized by its […]
