This simple booster was designed
to be supplied by the mini-dcc controller - a link is on the right,
using the L298 stepper motor driver which can supply up to 4 amps. But not
intended for this much current in this circuit where only one half of the device
is used. Power supply is 12 to 16 volots AC and could be from a plug-pack type
transformer. This is regulated to supply 5 volts to the controller circuit. Over
current is sensed on the 0.47 ohm resistor and this drops the enable input to
the driver, pin 10.
