Hi All,
I have decided that my next project will be to find a new way of supplying power to my networking switch.
According to the output specs on the AC power adaptor, it outputs:
7.5V === 1A 7.5VA
Input will be from a USB socket on a computer, which from memory, is 5V and 500mA. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong here...)
So I need to go from:
5V to 7.5V
500mA to 1000mA (1A)
How would I build a converter for this, and what components would I need. If a small diagram and explanation could also be provided, it would help me as I am only a 'newbie' with electronics.
Thanks in advance,
