This is a cheap DC Voltage Doubler Circuit diagram, which requires a few components and will deliver 10V from a 5V power supply. If the oscillator must be built from a non-functional gate then is required 2 more components: R1 and C3.

This AC to DC converter circuit is capable to convert an alternative voltage from 70 – 260 Vac into a DC voltage from 180 to 250 Vdc.
To achieve this convertion we use a rectifier MC34161 as a voltage doubler at low input voltages and as a classic rectifier at high input voltages.

This voltage converter is built with TL497A and converts an input voltage of 5…12 voltage to a higher level of 15…30 volts. This is specially helpfull in mobile applications where power supply levels are commonly limited to 12 volts supplied by batteries.

voltage converterThis 6V to 12V converter circuit is made with an IC from SGS with several additional components. The IC is a TDA2003 but it can be replaced with a TDA2002. The cost of building the 6volts to 12 volts converter should be low enough to justify constructing it instead of modifying the entire equipment setup to work directly with a 6 volts power supply. The two principles of simplicity and functions properly without the need of the transformer. continue reading…

With HV4205E you can build a simple single chip voltage converter. With IC and a few external components connected like in the schematic you can obtain dc stabilized voltages between 5 to 24V directly from main power source (100 to 260V ac). The maximum output current is 50mA. continue reading…
