Multiple output DC to DC converter

Former Member

Hi everybody.

 

I am working on a Arduino project using H-bridge (L293D) to drive two motors and I would like to have my project to be powered by an unique power source.

I have an AC/DC power supply that is outputting ~16V at ~1000mA and I am wondering if it is possible to get a stable +5V for the Arduino and the remaining for the motors via the H-Bridge

 

Is It possible and how to achieve that ? voltage divider (going down from 16V to 5V seems a waste) ?

 

Thx in advance for any help you can bring

  • why not go to simpler solutions rather than making it so complex.

    Connect the two in parallel series and apply resistors to reduce the voltage to required levels if voltage is to be reduced and current is not of concern.

    But if current is to be kept the same the connect them in series and then apply resistors as required.
