Hi all, I am doing a project and I need a simple DC-AC inverter which can convert 1.2v DC to higher AC voltage level (no matter how high is it, maybe 5v or 12v).
Can someone help ? Schematic diagram is welcome !!!
many thx !!!
I am not sure. I am using a 1.2V rechargable battery to store the electricity from solar cell and want to convert it to AC in order to power AC load. Maybe 50mA !
Sine wave or square wave. You're not going to find much that works down at 1.2V, there is another thread with about the same info. Anything you build will be much larger than a AA battery.
Is this a school assignment?
Then start with a 12V solar panel. 1.2V by itself is near useless except for toys and calculators.
AC for what? What 12V device uses an AC load at 50ma?
12V solar system could be much complex. is there still a way to build a simple DC-AC converter ? Just build it for experiment purpose not for practical.
Google up Joule Thief, it generates AC and works from very low voltages. Put a 2k trimpot instead of 1k resistor and find the best working point for your inductor and load.

Thanks for ur advice but can u explain more(better with schematic diagram) coz I searched the internet and it said Joule Thief circuit is used to suck the last remnants of life from a cell and generate AC-like current.
