    6V to 12V DC Converter Circuits

    Here are some of 6V to 12V DC converter circuits that can be used to convert a small voltage of
    about 6 volts to a higher voltage of 12 volts but ofcourse with a lower current rating.

    6 volts to 12 volts converters


    This inverter circuit can provide up to 800mA of 12V power from a 6V supply. For example,
    you could run 12V car accessories in a 6V car. The circuit is simple, about 75% efficient and quite
    useful. By changing just a few components, you can also modify it for different voltages.

    Notes
    1. L1 is a custom inductor wound with about 80 turns of 0.5mm magnet wire around a
    toroidal core with a 40mm outside diameter.
    2. Different values of D3 can be used to get different output voltages from about 0.6V
    to around 30V. Note that at higher voltages the circuit might not perform as well and
    may not produce as much current. You may also need to use a larger C3 for higher
    voltages and/or higher currents.
    3. You can use a larger value for C3 to provide better filtering.
    4. The circuit will require about 2A from the 6V supply to provide the full 800mA at 12V.

    This 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.

    This is a Simple Switcher step-up voltage regulator made by National Semiconductor, (part
    number LM2577-ADJ). Together with a few extra components, a heat sink and some wiring, it is
    possible to generate over 1A from the battery of an Austin. The output connector is taken from a car
    charger extension lead, so that a phone or a sat-nav just plugs straight in.

    This 6V to 12V dc-dc boost converter can drive a load in 12V about 3A current.The 555 timer
    IC is operated in astable mode, generates about 29Khz frequency of about 54% duty cycle drives
    the input of TIP41C transistor.1000uF capacitor smoothens the output voltage of the dc-dc
    converter.LED and 1.5Kohm resistor serves as indicator and load for output stability when no load
    is connected.You can add a 12V zener diode (1N5242B)across output to ground for further output
    stability.
