| DC-DC converter schematic |
The heart of the circuit is the 555 timer IC that delivers pulses to the transistor. The frequency of the output pulses is around 653Hz and operated at 55% duty cycle. The transistor Q3 and zener D2 regulates output to 24V dc. LED is for output voltage indicator. D4, R6, D3 and C4 regulate and filter the supply for the driver IC.
Part List:
R1 - 2.7 kilo ohms 1/4W
R2 - 10 kilo ohms 1/4W
R3 - 1.2 kilo ohms 1/4W
R4 - 120 ohms 1/4W
R5 - 1.5 kilo-ohms 1/4W
R6 - 47 ohms 1/2W
LED - red or any low power LED
C1 - 220nF
C2 - 100nF
C3 - 1000uF ( higher the better) electrolytic capacitor rated 16V
L1 - min 40 turns (60t is best) #20AWG in ferrite antenna bar
D1 - 6A rated diode or higher
D2 - 1N4749A, 1N5359B or 24V zener diode (min 1W)
D3 - 1N4739A
D4 - 1N4001, 1N4002, or similar
Q1 - TIP41C or NPN transistor with min 10W power capacity
Q2 - 2N3055 or similar NPN power transistor
Q3 - TIP41C or 2N3055

brinkka2011 says: Just right points?I would be aware that as anyone who in reality doesnt write on blogs a lot (in fact, this can be my first submit), I dont assume the time period lurker is very turning into to a non-posting reader. Its no longer your fault in the least , however possibly the blogosphere may come up with a better, non-creepy title for the 90% folks that experience studying the content material .
ReplyDeleteTo friend brinkka2011
ReplyDeleteWhat I understand in your comment is why would i use such a "creepy title" and not a very simple one?
Well i make it that way so if ever they understand the title, I assume they don’t have any problem in building the circuit. My point is I don’t want and I don’t recommend my readers build something that they don’t understand, or build something that can harm them.
The 12v to 24V converter above when built or fabricated wrong, there is a possibility that the output voltage is very high (1000V plus is possible) or current drawn is very large. Building it with very little knowledge can cause to damage to properties, and the worst thing is it can harm you.
Keeping the title and some of the words too technical so only readers with enough background and experience can build the circuit. Making the title too simple invites inexperience reader to build it.
Thank you for your comment and valuable inputs. Next time we will make some of the project easier so everyone can understand. Lots of thank to you.
can you not replace Q1 & Q2 with a MOSFET?
ReplyDeleteYou can remove the two transistor and replace it with Mosfet. Mosfet is the best choice actually especially you need much higher power capacity.
ReplyDeleteIRLB8743? with a heat-sink perhaps?
ReplyDeleteYeah, provide heatsink on transistors and diodes especially Q2,Q3, D2 and D1
ReplyDeleteWhat dimension ferrite antenna bar do you use?
ReplyDeletedoes D1 needed to be a zener or a schottky?
ReplyDeletei had simulated this in a simulation software called multisim and it doesn't woked...what should i do? anyone here who made the circuit and made it worked?
C3 is in the partslist as a 1000uf 16V. This will blow up if you put 24V on it. This cap needs to be at least 40V and low-ESR for good switching operation.
ReplyDeleteFor builders: also be aware that there is no current limiting on the output side. This can cause damage if a short-circuit occurs on the output.
Hi, C4 value?
ReplyDeleteHello I am so delighted I located your blog, I really located you by mistake, while I was watching on google for something else, Anyways I am here now and could just like to say thank for a tremendous post and a all round entertaining website. Please do keep up the great work. 50% discount
ReplyDeleteThis is just the information I am finding everywhere. Thanks for your blog, I just subscribe your blog. This is a nice blog.. murata capacitor replacement
ReplyDeleteAs an e-book author, I have had the privilege to meet many other authors and online small business folks selling their wares on large mass electronic sales sites such as Amazon. Over time, I've learned how the system works, and how easy it is for online consumers to buy things with just one click. What if the sellers could also become one click buyers using the money that they have already taken in and generated with their own electronic sales? Antminer for sale
ReplyDeleteit's really nice and meanful. it's really cool blog. Linking is very useful thing.you have really helped lots of people who visit blog and provide them usefull information. Black satta king
