Circuit 60: DC-DC converter 9V to 35V with coil-moving instrument
Setup information
Install the two transistors, the diode and the four resistors as shown in Fig. 2.60 followed by the ceramic
capacitor, the electrolytic capacitor and the fixed value inductor. It is important to make sure that the elec-
trolytic capacitor has a dielectric strength of 160V. The thirteen jumper wires come next. Last but not least
connect the moving-coil instrument. Check the placement on the board again and only then connect the
battery.
Experiment
This circuit is used to convert a larger DC voltage to a smaller one. The two transistors ensure that strong
current pulses are sent through the fixed value inductor. This results in a very high induction voltage, which
charges the electrolytic capacitor C2 after rectification with D1. There then the highly-transformed output
voltage is available. In our present circuitry the unregulated output voltage is at 35V. The voltage is detected
by the coil-moving instrument.
The circuit diagram for this experiment is shown in Chap. 3, Fig. 3.60.
