A DC to DC Step-up Converter with IC LT 1615

Abstract

The circuit to increase the dc to dc voltage is the one that can increase the small input voltage to a large output voltage. This circuit is also called a step-up dc to dc converter circuit. The most important thing of this circuit is IC LT 1615 which is a micro power step up dc to dc converter in which the input voltage starts from 1 Volt to 6 Volts and the output voltage is from 7 Volts to a maximum of 35 Volts. The design of this circuit is intended to increase the output voltage of the thermoelectric generator (TEG) by 5 volts, which becomes the input voltage of the circuit of step-up dc to dc converter. Then the voltage is increased up to 30 Volts as the output voltage of the circuit. This circuit is used in TEG application for electricity generation.
