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 […]

220V AC to 12V DC Flyback SMPS Circuit using IC 555 (7555)
This practical flyback SMPS circuit uses ICM7555 as the main oscillator, and yep the whole idea is to take 220V AC mains directly then convert it into isolated low voltage DC through a ferrite transformer.. Unlike many PWM controller designs, here we have very few parts but still it gives mains isolation, voltage feedback, current […]
12V DC to 220V DC Boost Converter Circuit
In this article I have explained a very simple method of acquiring 220V DC from a 12V DC source. The idea utilizes inductor/oscillator based boost topology with the help of the IC 555. Circuit Operation Now let us learn more about this simple 12V to 220V DC boost converter circuit, which is built around IC […]
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 […]
USB 5V To 24V DC to DC Boost Power Regulator Module
This is a USB 5V to 24V Adjustable Boost Converter Module and it helps us step up a lower voltage into a higher voltage which we can adjust as needed. Now let us go through everything in detail step by step. Inputs – Where We Give Power Now we got three ways to power this […]
DC-DC Boost Module (0.9V~5V) to 5V 600mA USB Step-up Board
So this is a DC-DC boost converter that takes a low voltage (0.9V to 5V) and steps it up to a stable 5V. We use this when we have a small battery, but we need 5V output, like for USB devices. It is super useful for battery-powered projects and small electronics. Main Features How It […]
