DC to DC Converter 12V to Splitted +/- 20V 100W

DC to DC Converter 12V to Splitted +/- 20V 100W

This is the circuit diagram of DC to DC converter which will convert 12V car battery to split power supply of +/- 20V. The power output will be up to 100W.

The purpose of this circuit is to supply the power audio amplifier circuit from a car battery. You may use this circuit to supply other circuits which require split / dual polarity power supply.

In fact the max audio power x speaker (with 4 ohm impedance) using 12V is (Vsupply+ - Vsupply-)^2/(8*impedance) 12^2/32 = 4.5Watts per channel, that is laughable...

For powering correctly an amplifier the best is to use a symmetric supply with a high voltage differential. for example +20 - -20 = 40Volts
in fact
40^2/32 = 50 Watts per channel that is respectable.

This supply is intended for two channels with 50W max each (of course it depends on the amplifier used). Though it can be easily scaled up or the voltages changed to obtain different values.

About Inverter
An inverter is an power electronic device that converts direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC); the converted AC can be at any required voltage and frequency with the use of appropriate transformers, switching, and control circuits. Solid-state inverters have no moving parts and are used in a wide range of applications, from small switching power supplies in computers, to large electric utility high-voltage direct current applications that transport bulk power. Inverters are usually used to supply AC power from DC sources such as solar panels or batteries. It will be useful for emergency electric source
