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 ...

An operational amplifier is a DC-coupled high-gain electronic voltage amplifier with a differential input and, usually, a single-ended output. In this configuration, an op-amp produces an output potential that is typically hundreds of thousands of times larger than the potential difference between its input terminals.   Reference  Wikipedia

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.

Input Impedance is the impedance offered by the input terminals of a circuit. It is also defined as the ratio of voltage across the input terminals to the current flowing through the input terminals. Generally we prefer high input impedance over low input impedance .There will be no voltage drop across the source impedance when input impedance is assumed to be infinity.  Output impedance being low is needed because a speaker is 2 ohms, or 4 ohms or 8 ohms or 16 ohms. All of these numbers are very low numbers.This is the output impedance you must match. Input impedance must be high to not “pull” on the source device. For example, a record player, or phonograph, puts out only mini-volts of voltage. So the signal is very weak before it hits the first pre-amp stage. Therefore, you can’t “pull” on that device, since the first stage in any amplifier is basically a voltage amplification circuit and then followed by power amplification circuit. Impedance  formula Z=R2+(Xl...
