In todays world power supply plays a very important role, because most electronics need stable 5V DC. But sometimes if the input voltage is high like for example 12V battery or adapter, then we must reduce voltage safely. Therefore, a buck converter is useful, as it reduces voltage with high efficiency. This 12V to 5V […]
IC 7805 12V To 5V 2A Boost Converter Circuit
Sometimes 7805 regulator is not enough, as it gives only around 1 amp current. However, many projects need more current for example motors, relays, LED strips and logic boards together. Therefore, we need a simple solution, so we used an external power transistor TIP42 with 7805 IC. This transistor boosts output current with this the […]
