Variable Boost Converter
For my Power Electronics class, I took on the project of designing a boost converter circuit. The specifications of the project were that the converter was to have an adjustable output voltage dependent on the state of a variable potentiometer. The maximum output voltage was to occur when the potentiometer is in its most resistive state and the minimum output voltage was to occur in its least resistive state. The circuit that I designed uses a similar signal triggering mechanism to that of my...

For my Electronics class, I took on a project of designing a buck converter, utilizing a 555 timer as the PWM signal. The expectation was that the output of the buck converter would be adjustable through the use of a variable potentiometer, in which the maximum output voltage would occur when the potentiometer is in its most resistive state and the minimum output voltage would occur in its least resistive state. The circuit that I designed utilizes a NE555 timer, a 100kOhm potentiometer, two...

For my Network Theory I class, I took on a project of designing a simple resistive circuit simulator that takes a user input “netlist”, creates calculations from this “netlist”, and gives back a set of values relating to the current, voltage, and power across each circuit component within the netlist. The circuit simulator that I designed only works with a singular power supply component (i.e. a voltage source or a current source) but works with any quantity or...
