CIRCUIT DAIGRAM OF usb CHARCGER FROM 9V

How it works:

The 9 volt battery is connected to the battery snap. Such batteries cannot be used to charge any device directly (because the device will blow), so an IC is used to reduce the voltage to 5 volts. The power now goes to the USB connector, from where any USB charger cord can be plugged in.
