Photocell power supply (MAX630)

Hosted circuit

 

This circuit is also Crossed to: AC/DC - DC/DC , Solar Cell Circuits

This circuit delivers either 4.8 or 7.2 V regulated at 15 mA with a 3-V input from a bank of photocells. R1 should be 453 k? for a 7.2-V output and 274 k? for a 4.8-Vdc output. Regulator efficiency is around 70%. This should be considered when selecting suitable solar cells.
