Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E. :
  • 0.5V Negative Supply
    Although not very efficient, this simple circuit, consisting of two LEDs and a photo diode, generates a negative voltage with a current level of a couple milliamps.  It is ideal for supplying a negative rail to low power “rail to rail” op amp circuits, which need to have a true zero volts output.  (added 12/04)

+5 to-15 Volts DC Converter:  National Semiconductor - Application Note   (app note added 2/06)

+/-5V Power Supply Operation with TC7106A/7107A (TC7106A/7107A):  Microchip Application Note - Published 12-Nov-02   (app note added 6/06)

+30V DC-DC converter:  introduce the compact DC-DC converter in this page. I found this converter at the junk shop. I attempted to examine the characteristic of this converter. The input voltage is +5 V, the output voltage is +30 V and can get the about 20-mA output current. The IC(CD-1846P) to be using with this converter becomes the manufacturing stop already. However, TDK said that it was the discontinuation part and I could not acquire the data.  Because it may become the reference when you use the similar circuit, I introduce in the contents of the converter.  (app note added 4/05)

+30V Power Supply with +5V:  I made the power supply which makes about +30V with +5V power supply.
The direct current is changed into the alternating current by the oscillator which used the schmitt trigger inverter which has the hysteresis characteristic and the resonance circuit. The high DC voltage (+50V) is made with the alternating voltage using the voltage amplification rectification circuit.  (app note added 6/06)

12 Volt Power Supply:  Please operate caution when building this power supply. It is run on standard 117 ac current - and under the right circumstances 117 ac can kill you. Use a plastic enclosure if possible to decrease chances of short-circuiting. Don't use the power supply if it's wet, and never run it without the specified fuse.  (added 6/06)

3.3V lithium cell supply requires one inductor:  08/05/99 EDN - Design Ideas / (added 09/05) Because of the growing popularity of lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries and 3.3V power supplies, portable-equipment designers must often create a 3.3V supply that a single Li-ion cell can power. The fact that the output of a Li-ion battery ranges above and below 3.3V during its discharge cycle complicates the design.
