Negative Voltage Generator
Many projects require a negative voltage source such as those heavily based around op-amps and generating a negative voltage can be difficult. In this kit, you will learn how to build a simple negative voltage generator that can be useful in scenarios where a negative voltage is needed from a single rail supply such as a battery or solar panel! This kit is also great for solder practice and teaches how capacitive coupling can be exploited in electronic circuits.

Applications
The negative voltage generator kit is ideal for use in applications that need to generate a negative voltage from a single rail supply (such as a battery). For example, many analog circuits such as amplifiers often require a negative voltage, and this kit can be used for this purpose. The lightweight of the negative voltage generator kit also makes it ideal for use in remote-controlled vehicles that need to keep weight to an absolute minimum. Furthermore, this kit is ideal for teaching learners concepts such as power circuitry, capacitive coupling, and diode circuits while simultaneously providing a project that can be constructed in under an hour.
Notes
Note that product specifics such as output frequency depend on the tolerance of the components. The numbers provided here are an approximation only. Also take note that the estimated delivery is not guaranteed (unless special delivery is chosen) and free delivery has a maximum waiting time of two weeks. Any product that is returned which is built using lead solder is ineligible for a refund.
