Step-Up DC-DC Converter Circuit for Laptop Charger/Adapter, Convert 12V(9-14) to 19V(16-21V)

Step-Up Converter 12 to 19V for Laptop This DC-to-DC converter circuit enables automotive lead-acid battery to power your laptops/notebooks, converting 12VDC to 19VDC with good efficiency since it uses switching technology. I designed this circuit to make power backup for small home office  to provide eight hours backup for three notebooks.  The input voltage range is 9V to 15V, which […]

Ressettable Electronic Fuse (Circuit Breaker) Circuit for Securing General Power Supply

Electronic Fuse Fuse or circuit breaker is useful to protect electronic circuit, especially the power supply. A short circuit or overload might damage the power supply if the connection between the power supply and the load  is not immediately disconnected. When we use conventional fuse, we must replace the blown fuse with the new one after fixing the failure which […]

Electronic Relay Circuit Breaker Protects Boost Converter from Short Circuit and Overload

Boost Converter and Its Unprotected Nature Boost converter topology, where an inductor is alternately shorted to ground by a switching transistor in some portion of the cycle and connected in series with the load in other portion of the cycle, is inherently unprotected from load failures such as short circuit and overload (look at the figure 1 of  the reference […]
