Essentials for Development

A solar panel of desired rating

6 Volt , 300 mA solar cells are very
common & easily available.

A Voltage converter
Works on DC voltage.
Regulates the input.
Provide fixed Voltage to the battery.
Essentials for Development cntd..

Reverse Battery Drainage Protection

Stops battery from draining when input is less than
battery voltage

A Device for Protection from Variations in Input

Voltage (Ripple)
Stabilize Input Voltage
Protect from High Intensity Pulses
Essentials for Development cntd..

Indication for valid input & output

Can be any indicating mechanism
Also for indicating valid output

Compact assembly
Convenient usability
Sturdy product casing
Convenient for travelling
Options for Mobile Charger

o Voltage Regulation can be achieved using

Fixed Voltage regulators like LM 7805
series.

o Adjustable Voltage Regulators like LM317,

LM338 and more provide precise output
level.
Disadvantages of Above Methods

o Both of the mentioned techniques have low

conversion efficiency.
o Lot of energy is wasted as heat.
o Heat sink is compulsory.
o Bulky charger design
Switching Voltage Regulator

o DC to DC conversion is achievable from 3 volts to 40

volts.
o IC MC 34063 series varies its output in accordance
to desired voltage level.
o High conversion efficiency up to 60%.
o Extra input power is utilized as output current.
o Negligible heat dissipation avoiding heat sink.
o Compact charger design is achievable.
Features of MC 34063A

o Wide operating range.

o Higher efficiency than other regulators.
o Heat sink not required reducing further losses.
o Low stand by current.
o Can perform step-down, step-up & voltage inversion .
o Current limiting available.
o Flexible and compact designing achievable .
Internal Configuration MC 34063A
Circuit Diagram
Step down Mode of MC 34063A

Transistor Q1 interrupts input voltage & provided as

variable duty cycle square wave to the LC filter.
The filter averages the square wave producing a dc
voltage.
Percentage conduction ON time is controlled to get
desired voltage level.
