What is a 6V to 12V DC/DC converter?

6V to 12V DC/DC converters 120 watts peak, non-isolated, 6 volt input 12 volt output, 5V to 12V converter. 6 volt to 12 volt DC/DC converters at low cost. For operating 12V equipment in 6 volt cars. Also works with 5V, 6V, 7V, 8V, 9V, 10V inputs.

Can I use a 12V to 6v converter if I don't have lm350?

In case that you do not have the LM350, you could also build a 12V to 6V converter circuit that can output a current of 2A or more using the 7806 and TIP42 or similar transistors. In the circuit above, we used the TIP42, which gives us an output current of 2A.

Which DC voltage regulator IC should I use for a step-down converter?

For a proper step-down converter circuit, we would use the 78xx series DC voltage regulator ICs. In this case, it would be the 7806, since it provides exactly 6V output from a 12V input. This 12V to 6V step-down circuit has a maximum output current of 1A.

Can a 6.6v Zener diode be used as a step-down converter?

But, since no 6.6V Zener diode is being built—only the 6V, 6.2V, and 6.8V are available—you would need to add a regular diode in series, as shown in the circuit above. For a proper step-down converter circuit, we would use the 78xx series DC voltage regulator ICs.

How many volts does a DC/DC converter use?

Use large cables for the input, plan for 21 amps draw at 6 volts for 120 watts peak output. Inexpensive, high current DC/DC converter stabilizes voltage in automotive applications. Also can be used to provide regulated 12 volts from a 6 volt sealed lead acid battery--excellent for special purpose UPS DC battery backups.

How do I get a 6V output voltage?

Another way to get a precise and constant 6V output voltage is to add a potentiometer to fine-tune the output voltage to the exact value. In this circuit, we can adjust VR1 to get the output voltage within the range of 5V to 12V. Buy voltage regulator ICs at Amazon.com here (affiliated link)
