OBJECTIVE OF THIS WORK
The objective of this project is to propose and analyze a new DC/DC converter with
output of 7 Ampere and output voltage of 24 VDC.

THEORY
A DC-DC converter is a power electronics device that accepts a DC input voltage and

also provides a DC output voltage. The output voltage of DC-to-DC converter can be greater

than the input voltage or vice versa. The converter output voltages are used to match the power

supply required to the loads.

A buck converter is a DC-to-DC power converter that steps down voltage from its input to its

output. It is a class of switched-mode power supply typically containing at least two semiconductors

and at least one energy storage element, a capacitor, inductor, or the two in combination.

WORK STATUS

1. Simulation. The proposed circuit for DC to DC Converter Power Supply is

simulated on the Multisim. The purpose of this is to know the expected output

voltage and current.

2. Selection of Materials. The materials/components needed for the design were

picked carefully for a better result.

3. Breadboard. The circuit is then constructed on a breadboard for actual

measurements and troubleshooting.

4. Soldering. The components were placed on the PCB for soldering purposes.

5. Testing. The actual constructed circuit was tested to know if it is working and to

check if the actual output measurements are correct.

6. Chassis. For a more presentable work, the finish product is set on an acrylic

fiber.
