USB Charger Circuit

Working Explanation

The circuit fabricates with the help of the LM7805 chip. It is a voltage regulator that gives an output of 5V and 1A of current by taking an input of between 7V to around 30V.

The schematic is so straightforward and simple. It is not utilizing any expensive components. So you can make this circuit in certain minutes if all parts are accessible to you. The circuit is utilizing a low voltage regulator IC LM7805. Which is effectively accessible in the market and it is additionally extremely modest. The circuit takes voltage from the 9V battery and steps down the voltage into a DC 5V yield output.

The USB charger circuit works from 6 AA batteries, 6 AAA batteries, or a 9V battery. These batteries are easy to find in many general stores.
