I have a power supply with a different connector, and output (on one of 24 pins) to the circuit input I am attempting to use it with, so basically I got an electronics engineer I know to make an adapter up for me, he did a great job in doing so however I have one issue, one of the pins of this adapter's input side is of 5V DC but I need it to be 12V DC on the output, the engineer used a simple 0-240V to 12V transformer however this doesn't appear to be working. What is the best way to achieve this 5V DC to 12V DC conversion? Thank you in advance. |

If the engineer told you to use a transformer to step up a DC voltage he is not, or at least should not be, an engineer, transformers only work with AC. With that said the only way I am aware to get this to work from a DC supply is something called a buck boost. Without spending much time looking into it here is a link http://www.hobby-hour.com/electronics/lm2577-switching-regulator.php as far as I can tell it is accurate. fyi I am a Electrical and Computer Engineer |
