  • In this video you will find some examples on how to make your own buck converter circuit using the P-MOS IRF4905 but also the IRFZ44N N-MOS. Also you will learn why do we need all those components. You can find all the links for schematics/codes below. I hope that you'll enjoy the video. Stay tuned for the BOOST converter tutorial.

    Wow... Your explanation is so good! Exceptional... I'm learning about power supplies for Nixie tubes and your information is invaluable. I only wonder about safety of for example a NE555 based PS. Dedicated IC's have protection circuitry but I read that the often used Maxim 1771 has a poor design because the gate of the Mosfet is pulled to ground by a resistor: quote "a substantiol amount of power is wasted in the FET" But I need to look into that much more... I want a safe PS so I can leave a home made HV PS safely on 24/7.

    Hi, a schottky diode is used because it is a high speed switching diode, compared with a 1N4001 series diode.
    High speed because of the switching speed of the converter output.

    But should the source not be connected to the input? Otherwise the body diode of the FET will make it conduct always.

    Hi. very nice video. But how can i make a 15 amp buck converter that can handle 60 volts. It seems when the voltage gets too hight the gate / source voltage gets too big this way? And how can I supply the arduino with power from same source we try to buck down? Als these tutorails make it look so simple but somehow it never fit my needs. For my solar shed and e-moped batteries I need 40 and 54 volt projects.

    • @ELECTRONOOBS
      @ELECTRONOOBS  6 лет назад

      The current from drain to source is affected by the gate to source voltage. The arduino can only apply 5V. To apply higher voltage I use a NPN connected to Vdd. Keep up!

  • @salom77
    @salom77 5 лет назад

    Thanks a lot for this great tutorial. 🔴 In my project, I use a solar panel to charge a 6V battery that supplies 4 outputs: 3.3~5V 0.12mA, 3.6~6V 0.12A, 4.8V 0.27A, & 3.4~4V 0.5A. Now, should I use the Buck converter for each single output? Is the Buck converter best choice for my project?

    • @robertneill3057
      @robertneill3057 Год назад

      Very much subject to the dropout voltage of the buck converter especially when the battery voltage falls down. The multiple output requirements usually entails the use of a tapped inductor or transformer to avoid intermodulation problems between multiple buck converter regulators operating on a common supply.

      Yes. So weird I never seen a real buck. Like 50A 60v.
      Something is not right here.
      I used pwm to drive this buck like he did but there is no info on how to connect feedback.
      Well I got over 1000W on output. But I can't change load due to no feedback.
