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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
2 Simple Voltage to Frequency Converter Circuits Explained
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 […]
2 Simple Light to Frequency Converter Circuits for Transforming Light into Pulses
In this article we are going to see what is a light to frequency converter circuit, how it works, how to use it in a project, and its specifications. No matter which category you belong to, professional, hobbyist, engineer or student, modular components always reduce half of our headache while designing circuits. They eliminate the […]
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 […]
