hi..i have this problem..
i'm using the pic16f877a to send signal to a regulator IC so that i can boost up from +5V to +12V,these voltage is used for a series of switch..

then after i pressed one of the switch...the 12 V is step-down back to 5V..and send the signal back to the PIC..

my question is..do we have these type of regulator/converter?? i mean operated in 1 way or 1 line only(5V -> 12V -> 5V) which we can programme or somethg ??is it possible to do that?? and how to interface these thing together(pic + regulator) ?please help me...

i think u can find some boost converter circuit online.
pulse generated from PIC goes to MOSFET or IGBT for boosting circuit.


regards,
yh

huhu..can it be interface on single line to use input & output together???
plz help me..

syntium87 WROTE:can it be interface on single line to use input & output together???

Not really understand your question. What the purspose of doing so? Ur application is?

what i mean is can a feedback signal being sent back to the pic?

u can use a voltage divider on the converter output, feedback the analog voltage from the voltage divider of the output into the A/D converter of the PIC to read the voltage.
