The switching power supply market is flourishing quickly in today’s high-tech world.  Design engineers aren’t always supplied with the desired amount of voltage they need in order to make their design work.  Adding an additional voltage supply to a design is not always cost efficient.  This report is intended to provide the designer with a method of boosting DC voltage from 5 Volts to 12 Volts, by using a DC-DC switching boost converter designed specifically for this task.  All goals, design procedures, tests, data, conclusions, and costs have been documented within this report.  Results of experiments show that the switching converter will boost voltage from 5 volts to 12 volts with power conversion efficiency of 73 percent.
