Application Notes
Introduction:
Voltage doubler is the circuit where we can double the input voltage, suppose if we
supply 5v as an input voltage, we can get 10 volt at the output. Generally transformers
are there to step-up or step-down the voltage, but sometimes transformers are not
feasible because of their size and cost. So here is the quick, easy and practical solution
to double the voltage, using 555 timer IC.

Timer IC:
A 555 timer is a type of integrated circuit, also known as a chip, which is extremely
popular for a variety of purposes. Its main use is as a timer, but it can also be used as a
multiv ibrator.

Transistor:
A transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify and switch electronic signals and
electrical power. I t is composed of semiconductor material with at least three terminals
for connection to an external circuit. A voltage or current applied to one pair of the
transistor's terminals changes the current through another pair of terminals. Because the
controlled (output) power can be higher than the controlling (input) power, a tr ansistor
can amplify a signal.

Application Notes
BC107:
The BC107 is silicon planar epitaxial NPN transistors in TO-18 metal case. They are
suitable for use in driver stages, low noise input stages and signal processing circuits of
television revivers.

BC177:
BC177 (Data Sheet) is a General purpose switching and amplification,e.g. driver and
output stages of audio amplifiers, it consume Low current (max. 100 mA) and Low
voltage (max. 65 V).

Application Notes
Tenet Power supply breakout board:

The Pow er Supply Kit allows your breadboard projects to easily access a selectable
voltage regulated to either 3.3Volts or 5Volts. It receives its power through adaptors. The
outputs are selectable 12V, 5V and 3.3V regulated voltage.

Application Notes
Working:
We can use 12V supply from power supply breakout board.
The timer I C should operate as an astable multiv ibrator.
The Astable Multivibrator does not require any external trigger, it is capable of
generating continuous square wave pulses.
The base of the two transistors (T1 and T2) is shorted and output of the astable
multiv ibrator (pin 3) is connected to it.
When the output of astable multiv ibrator is low, T1 w ill be OFF and T2 w ill be ON.
The negative terminal of the capacitor C4 w ill be shorted to ground through T2
and it w ill be charged to the input supply voltage.
When the output of the astable multi v ibrator is high, transistor T1 w ill be ON and
transistor T2 will be OFF. The capacitor C5 w ill be charged to the voltage across
capacitor C4 plus the input supply voltage (that is double the input voltage).
This voltage doubler circuit can deliver only up to 50mA output current and
above that current limit the output voltage will be dramatically reduced. The
actual output voltage will be around 19V for a 12V DC input and also the output
voltage w ill be a bit unstable. Anyw ay, for low current applications this circuit is
well enough.
