This low power inverter uses only 9 parts and turns 10 to 16VDC into 115V / 60Hz square wave power to operate AC equipment up to 25W.

25W Low Power Inverter circuit

The first section of the 555 timer is wires as an astable oscillator with R2 and C1 setting the frequency. The output is available at pin 5. The second section is wired as a phase inverter. That output is available at pin 9. Resistor R3 and R4 keep output transistor Q1 and Q2 from loading down the oscillator.

The two transistors drive the transformer push-pull fashion. When one transistor is biased-on, the other is cut-off. The transformer is a 120V/18V center tapped that is connected backwards, so that is steps the voltage up rather than down. Oscillator circuit U1, R1, R2 and C1 operates from about 4 to 6V with very stable output.

    hi there!
    this power supply is very simple yet superb. thanks for this.
    i want to request from you if you could publish or share to me a circuit diagram
    for 12vdc to 24vdc. I really need this for my project. i have here a car battery and a solar charger, and my project is 24vdc.
    thanks
