This Low power regulated dc to dc converter circuit obtained by adding a flyback circuit to a square wave oscilator.
This dc dc converter circuit operating at a frequency of 20 kHz to minimize the size of L1 and C2. Regulation is achieved by zener diode D2. Maximum current available before the converter drops out of regulation is 5.5 mA.
