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 […]

24V to 12V DC Converter Circuit [using Switching Regulator]
The DC to DC converter circuit described below can be used to convert a 24 V DC source into a 12 V DC output with high efficiency. Meaning, the circuit will allow to acquire a 12 V DC from a 24 V DC source with negligible power loss. Being a switching regulator, this circuit is […]
Switching Boost Converter Circuit using IC MAX732
The proposed boost converter circuit using MAX732 IC will allow you to have a continuous voltage of 12V with a current of 150 or 200 mA. The input voltage can be between 4.5 to 9 V, which can be produced by three 1.5V batteries, for example. The circuit is quite simple, we will be using […]
Simple Buck Converter Circuits using Transistors
In this post I have explained some basic facts about DC to DC buck converters and also learn how to build a simple buck converter circuit. A buck converter is also popularly known as a step-down converter, since its basic function is to step down a higher input voltage level to a lower output voltage […]
12 V to 19 V Boost Converter Circuit
In this post I have explained how to build a simple 12 V to 19 V boost converter circuit which can used to charge a 19 V battery from a 12 V car battery. The main application of this circuit could be for the charging of a laptop battery from a car battery, How the […]
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 […]
