This is the circuit diagram of 5VDC single polarity to 12VDC dual polarity converter based on IC LM2595-12 from National Semiconductor. This circuit will convert 5V DC single voltage (+) become 12V DC dual polarity output (+), GND, (-).
This circuit was built in the lab using the components shown in Figure 1. The -12V output varied between -11.99V and -11.97V under a load variation between 50 mA and 100 mA and a line variation between 4.5V and 5.5V. The +12V output varied between 11.15V and 11.45V under the same conditions. The +12V output… Read More »
This is a 12VDC to 9VDC converter circuit. You may use this DC to DC stepdown converter circuit if you have fixed 12V power supply / battery, but you need 9V power supply for your electronic devices. Scheme Diagram: Components List: R1________ 560 ohm, resistor C1________ 1000uF/16V, Electrolytic capacitor C2________ 100uF/16V, Electrolytic capacitor C3________ 330nF,… Read More »
Here the variable desktop power supply which will convert a high input voltage (12V) from the SMPS / PSU of a desktop computer into small output voltage (1.25 to 9 volts). This converter will be very beneficial for electronics hobbyists. An adjustable three-pin voltage regulator chip LM317T (IC1) is applied right here to deliver the… Read More »
