 Objective
• The primary focus is on designing and implementing a
variable voltage DC-DC converter to address the limitations
of current power solutions in portable electronics.
• This innovation aims to tackle inefficiencies in existing power
sources, struggling to meet diverse voltage requirements.
• The goal is to create a sophisticated and adaptable power
solution, seamlessly elevating low input voltages for optimal
performance across a range of electronic devices.
• The objective is to offer flexibility, enhance device
performance, and setting a benchmark in the realm of
portable electronic power solutions.

General
 Algorithm of Proposed Work
1. 230 AC input is given to SMPS to get 12V DC output.
2. This output is fed to Modified – SEPIC converter and output is
obtained.
3. Output obtained is sensed through voltage sensor and given
to controller (PI – PID).
4. By adjusting the regulatory switch, PWM pulse i.e. duty cycle
can be varied accordingly to produce the required DC output.
5. This process works in a closed loop to provide proper
regulated output for required application like charging auxiliary
lead acid battery.
6. LCD display will show the output at that moment.
