A Regulated 24 Volt Output, 5 Volt Input DC to DC Converter - needed a few milliamps at +24 volts for a varactor bias circuit. Since my systems approach is still to run all of the power though a 5 volt regulator, this meant that I had to come up with a 5VDC-to-24VDC power supply. The resulting DC to DC converter and regulation circuit are described here __ Designed by Dick Cappels
A Simple Circuit step-up converter (6V to 12V) - This step-up converter is intended for use in a '67 Citroen 2CV.
