LED TOURCH USING MAX 660

1. This is a simple LED torch circuit based on IC MAX660 from MAXIM semiconductors.
2. The MAX 660 is a CMOS type monolithic type voltage converter IC. 
3. The IC can easily drive three extra bright white LEDs.The LEDs are connected in parallel to the output pin 8 of the IC.
4. The circuit has good battery life. The switch S1 can be a push to ON switch.

   
   
   NOTES:-
   

   • Assemble the circuit on a general purpose PCB.

   • The IC must be mounted on a holder.

   • The circuit can be powered from two torch cells connected in series.

   • The capacitors C1 and C2 must be Tantalum type.

   • The diodes D1 to D3 must be of 1N4148.
