This paper demonstrates the design of a working prototype of 5-12V DC-DC Boost Converter. The boost converter circuit is designed using MOSFET, Resistor, Capacitor, Inductor and Diode. The key principle that drives the boost converter is the tendency of an inductor to resist changes in current. Inductor is designed using ferrite pot core and windings. This paper briefly reviews the technology used in switched mode power supplies for DC to DC conversion for transferring energy from input to output. Simulation studies are performed using MATLAB tool to validate the proposed scheme as well as hardware practical results.
