Transformerless Voltage Booster Circuit: A DC-DC Step-Up Switching Regulator Using Transistors

A DC-to-DC step-up converter is traditionally implemented using tranformer, working by converting the DC voltage to AC Voltage, step-up it using transformer, then rectify anf filter the transformer’s output to  get a higher DC voltage. Using a switching method, we can step-up a voltage without a transformer. We just need an inductor which is driven [...]

Transformerless, Switch Mode Boost Regulator, A Step-Up Converter

Using this switch mode regulator circuit, you can get a stable 12 volt output (500mA) although you just have 4,3 - 10V power supply. You can even boost a 3.5V input to 12V if the load draws only 100 mA or less. This switch mode voltage regulator use LTC1266 IC chip from Linear Technology. Here [...]

High Efficiency Switch Mode 3.3V 5A Step-Down Converter

This switch mode step-down converter has very good efficiency, up to 94% can be obtained. This switch mode regulator uses LTC1266-3.3 controller with external N-Channel power mosfet, and need only a 5uH inductor because it uses high frequency switching. Here is the schematic diagram of this switch mode step down converter circuit:

To optimize efficiency, the [...]

Low-Drop-Out (LDO) Low-Voltage Linear Regulator Using NCP2860 IC

This low drop out (LDO) voltage regulator need only few components, with very low noise and very low drop-out voltage. The circuit illustrated in the schematic diagram below gives a fixed 2.77 volt output, but this output voltage can be adjusted using two additional resistors.

This circuit capable to supply 300 mA load from 3.0 V [...]
