Voltage booster from 1.5 to 12 volt

Lighting up 12 volt LED strip with 1.5 volt battery This is a simple voltage booster circuit. It can increase the voltage of a power source by changing the constant low voltage signal into a series of rapid pulses at a higher voltage. You most commonly see this kind of circuit used to power LEDs with a “dead” battery, but there are many more potential applications for a circuit like this. Any NPN transistor like BC547 1K Resistor 12 Volt LED strip Enamel coated Copper wire preferable SW32 Ferite Ring You can source Ferite ring from dead CFL Bulb Please check out below demo Background: How Does a it Work? This circuit is a self-oscillating voltage booster. It takes a steady low voltage signal and converts it into a series of high frequency pulses at a higher voltage.  Here is how a basic it works, step by step: 1. Initially the transistor is off. 2. A small amount of electricity goes through the resistor and the first coil to ...

Coupling

AC Coupling : AC coupling consists of using a capacitor to filter out the DC signal component from a signal with both AC and DC components. The capacitor must be in series with the signal. AC coupling is useful because the DC component of a signal acts as a voltage offset, and removing it from the signal can increase the resolution of signal measurements. AC coupling is also known as capacitive coupling. DC Coupling:  DC coupling allows both AC and DC signals to pass through a connection. When using DC coupling, no additional capacitor is added to filter the signal. The DC-coupled configuration is usually best if the signal source has only small amounts of offset voltage, less than ±100 mV, or if the DC content of the acquired signal is important.

Sample Calculations

NPNs need current to turn them on - 1st transistor is used to drive higher current into the 2nd. Voltage drop across the 2nd transistor collector-emitter is pretty high, 2 to 4V depending on current. N-channel MOSFET is driven by voltage level instead, needs very little current. Voltage drop across drain-source is dependent on the Rds of the device and the current flow. Rds can be very low, like 0.030 ohm, so for 360 LEDs, arranged in 90 parallel strings of 4 LEDs in series, drawing 20mA/string, so 90 * 0.02 = 1.8A, the voltage drop across the MOSFET would be 1.8A * 0.03ohn = 0.054V http://aosmd.com/res/data_sheets/AOI516.pdf This might allow strings of 5 LEDs from 12V even, reducing your current draw even more - 360/5 = 72 * 0.02 = 1.44A. Power dissipated = Current * Voltage So for TIP120, 1.8A * 2V = 3.6W, gonna need heatsinking. For a MOSFET, 1.8 * 0.054 = 0.09W,  heat sink likely not needed. MOSFET, want to  switch voltage levels quickly, so go from high resi...
