DC- DC Converter 12V to 24V

By -
This simple circuit is a DC-DC converter that converting up 12V source to a 24V. It can be used to run radios, small lights, relays, horns and other 24V accessories from a 12V vehicle with a maximum draw of about 800mA.



This DC-DC Converter can be used to charge one 12V battery from another, or step up the voltage just enough to provide necessary overhead for a 12V linear regulator. Using one op-amp as a squarewave oscillator to ring an inductor and another op-amp in a feedback loop, it won't drift around under varying loads, providing a stable 24V source for many applications. With a wide adjustment in output this circuit has many uses. 

Parts List
R1-R4,R7-R8 100K 1/4W Resistor 
R5 470 Ohm 1/2W Resistor 
R6 10K Linear Pot 
C1 0.01uF Mylar Capacitor 
C2 0.1uF Ceramic Disc Capacitor 
C3 470uF 63V Electrolytic Capacitor 
D1 1N4004 Rectifier Diode 
D2 BY229-400 Fast Recovery Diode See Notes
Q1 BC337 NPN Power Transistor 
U1 LM358 Dual Op Amp IC 
L1 See Notes 
MISC Board, Wire, Socket For U1, Case, Knob For R6, Heatsink for Q1

DC- DC Converter Notes 
1. R6 sets the output voltage. This can be calculated by Vout = 12 x (R8/(R8+R7)) x (R6B/R6A). 
2. L1 is made by winding 60 turns of 0.63MM magnet wire on a toroidial core measuring 15MM (OD) by 8MM (ID) by 6MM (H). 
3. D2 can be any fast recovery diode rated at greater then 100V at 5A. It is very important that the diode be fast recovery and not a standard rectifier.4. Q1 will need a heatsink.

1500W Stereo Power Amplifier Schematic

By -

Circuit Power Amplifier has a power output of up to 1500W RMS power amplifier circuit is often used to power sound systems keperlun for outdor. In the final image can be seen a series of power amplifiers using 10 sets of power transistors for the ending. This power amplifier circuit using a transistor amplifier from the front, signal splitter, driver and power amplifier. Current consumption required is quite large power amplifier that is 15-20 A 1500W power amplifier circuits for this. Supply voltage needed by the power of this amplifier is the optimal working order symmetrical 130VDC (130VDC-130VDC ground). 1500W amplifier circuit below is a picture series of mono, stereo if you want to make it necessary to make two copies of the circuit. For more details can be viewed directly image the following 1500W power amplifier circuit.

TDA2030 complete tone control

At this time I present a series of amplifiers that use IC TDA2030, but this series is equipped with a tone control. Tone controls include Bass, Treebel, and Volume. Power amplifier and tone control has been put together in a single PCB. As well as its power supply circuit was also used as one with the power amp, and tone control. Making it easier in the installation and will look neat. Schematics Layout PCB PCB design This amplifier is a mono amplifier type, can be modif for guitar amplifiers. If not coupled amplifier (mic preamp) then you must deactivated potensio treble and bass, why? because if not using a mic preamp and still maintain potensio treble and bass sound input (input) from the guitar will not or the maximum discharge is not tight on the speakers. So you must deactivated a way to decide which directly connected capacitor with the tone control circuit, and capacitor were connected directly to potensio volume and input jack.
