I am looking for trhe most economical way to convert 12VAC to 24VAC. I am trying to interface 2 products together, One works on 12VAC (inside it is converted to DC), the other requires 24VAC input(A home thermostat). Ideally I would like to operate them both from the existing 12VAC source.
The current on the 24VAC side will be no more than 100ma, this thing has to be small. Iw as considering a voltage doubler circuit and wanted to try that, however I didn't have much luck with the values of the capacitors in any of the schematics that I found.
One thought I had was to possibly use a 2:1 ratio transformer. Would this be possible?
Any other Ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
