    Buck-converter with dual-MOSFET operation for constant current output

    I'm supposed to consider variable loads but the example given to me is attached, it is a set of by-passed diodes in this case, but I shall ask my supervisor more details about the load when I see him next..they are basically devices under test (DUTs) answer to your question I think is, that...

    Buck-converter with dual-MOSFET operation for constant current output

    I'm working day and night on coming up with solutions to this...No..i'm not asking you to design it for me...I just thought you might have better designs from which I can adopt some ideas.. I requested for a hardware project instead of a software/simulation one and this is what I got..I don't...

    Buck-converter with dual-MOSFET operation for constant current output

    hey... I've attached a simple diagram of what the entire cct will look like...all ideas and suggestions are welcome...please give your opinions about the best way to design the cct.. thanks!

    Buck-converter with dual-MOSFET operation for constant current output

    I haven't yet started working on the inductor design or the current sensing circuitry. Right now i need to figure out the initial circuit as provided in the schematic and exhibit the switching of the MOSFETs, so I'm stuck with two things the decoupling capacitor and the MOSFETs. If I complete...

    Capacitor Selection - Suggestions for 100kHz Low ESR Decoupling

    capacitor selection... Hey, I'm having a bit of trouble selecting a capacitor and I just want to know if anyones got any suggestions ?... I need a capacitor for decoupling...that would be suitable at 100kHz switching frequency..withstanding a current ripple of about 1A with a low ESR...this...

    Buck-converter with dual-MOSFET operation for constant current output

    I completely forgot! I will be using a hall-effect transducer to measure the current through the inductor. Then this will have to be used to convert to the voltage reference for the MCP1630 as stated in the diagram I provided. I need to know how to work out the input capacitance...

    Buck-converter with dual-MOSFET operation for constant current output

    I will not be using the LM317 in this case, most probably I will use a direct voltage supply (no output cap). The switching frequency is 100kHz. My supervisor mentioned that the this would need a coupling capacitor based on the voltage and current ripple...what value of capacitance would you...

    Buck-converter with dual-MOSFET operation for constant current output

    Hey, Yeah, I should've thought of that before! thanks... I've attached a circuit design..and the links to the datasheets of both the MCP1630 and the LM2724A...you reckon I follow the other standard capacitances as provided in the datasheet yeah? MCP1630 -...

    Buck-converter with dual-MOSFET operation for constant current output

    Hey, I'm a newbie trying to figure out a few crucial additions to my circuit I'd like some tips and suggestions.. Basically, I'm building a circuit that will produce a constant current to variable loads, I'm using a buck-converter model with a supply of around 10V, the inductance should be...
