“ATtiny85 Boost Converter
Today in this episode of Arduino projects I am going to introduce you with a new electronic circuit. This electronic circuit that I am going to introduce is known as ‘Boost Converter’ or ‘Step-up Converter’ or ‘DC to DC Converter’ or SMPS(switch mode power supply), it does not matter however you want to call it The job of this circuit is to Step up the low DC Voltage to a high DC voltage efficiently But there is a thing that you need to keep in your mind is that this circuit can only step up DC voltage not AC but in Case of AC voltage you can use a Step up transformer to step up the AC voltage but This is an another subject to discuss on The boost converter that I am going to design in this project or episode, operates on 4V - 5V DC and output voltage can be adjusted from 5V to 30V. You can adjust the output voltage according to your necessity But the second thing that you need to keep in your mind is that you can’t connect a DC Load than draws more current.
