The circuit is a boost step-up regulator based around an LM2577-ADJ voltage regulator chip and a few other discrete components. Resistors R1 and R2 set the regulated output voltage.
A switch inside the voltage regulator closes between pins 4 and 3, causing current to flow through the inductor to ground. When the switch is released a few microseconds later, a back-EMF ‘kick’ is produced by the inductor, resulting in a positive pulse with respect to the input voltage. This pulse charges the output capacitor via the schotky diode, which tends towards an equilibrium voltage.
The switch continues to oscillate, the diode preventing the switch from shorting the output capacitor during the ‘on’ phase. The output voltage is monitored via the voltage divider R1/R2, causing the duty cycle of the switch oscillator to be continuously regulated in order to maintain a constant output voltage under varying loads.
The output voltage defined by R1/R2, if you want to take a 12 volt to 15 volt dc booster is easily.

12 Mar 2013I amateur electrons and your web site very interesting and very useful, but i need your help in the circle to convert 12 volts to 19 volts with 4 AMP used for a laptop? Thank you very much

7 Feb 2014Hi, taher
Now, I do not have the circuit as you need.
But I see in amozon.com it have look alike.

31 May 2017Hi guys. I have a 12V to 15V 8A step up module I purchased off eBay. I am using it out of my car accessory socket and outputting through a 30a solar charge controller to charge and maintain an auxillary AGM battery. It works fine for a few minutes and then seems to spike blowing the 15A fuse in my accessory socket plug. I added 2 6A x 100V power diodes in parallel into the input side as i read somewhere that it is possible to get a back AC spike out of some of these circuits but it hasn’t helped. Any ideas??

9 Oct 2018Hello, Jagatap pk
Thanks for your visiting my site.
I try to test my circuit. https://www.eleccircuit.com/12v-24v-step-up-converter-circuit-using-tda2004/ . It cannot give a high current as you want. You may buy DC converter at Amazon or online store it is so inexpensive. But If you need to build circuit diagram. Now I do not have the circuit. I am sorry.
