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 […]
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 […]
1.5V to 12V DC Converter Circuit Diagram for LEDs
The post provides interesting information regarding the making of a 1.5V to 12V converter circuit using a couple of transistors and an inexpensive coil. The idea was requested by Mr. Keith. The Circuit Request I found your blog and have searched for an answer to my question but I’m just not finding it…. What I want to do […]
Modifying XL4015 Buck Converter with an Adjustable Current Limiter
In this post I have explained a simple way to enhance the the XL4015 DC to DC buck converter with an adjustable current limiter, which seems to be missing in the original module. About XL4015 The XL4015 is a 180 KHz fixed frequency PWM buck (step-down) DC/DC converter, specially designed for operating a 5 V, […]
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 […]
