I hopt that you enjoy this basic tutorial on switched boost voltage regulators. Want to help my projects: www.patreon.com/ELECTRONOOBS Thank you very much!
Electronoobs could you implement a PID controller for the feedback to minimize the jitter of the PWM signal? So everyone can see how a PID controller can done easily.
Thanks alot man I have been in a rabbit hole with this converter for two month without a solution and i watched many tutorials and read many blogs but yours worked right away Moreover nothing was as clear as yours loved that u showed the connections very clearly so we can remake it with ourselves i owe u alot man thank u again
Nice job! I Made the same last year for a company with a boost and a buck to charge and discharge a supercap (cc and cv regulations). It's really interesting, I thought you would implement a full PID regulation feedback ^^ Great videos and explanations as always.
at 6:55 i think that résistors 1k and 8k should be flipped , they are placed wrongly i guess, arduino will see 44.4V at its pin in this case, considering the max output voltage to be 50V. Thank you for this great tutorial !!
Great explaination. In schmetic diagram of close control please interchange the 8k and 1k resistance otherwise the output reference which is feedback to Arduino will be greater than 5v.
@@hamadyt956 the measured voltage should be at the side of 1k resistnace, but the schematic diagram show that the voltage is measured at the side of 8k resistance... So measured voltage can be easily larger than 5V...
At 6:20 pop up message state that voltage divider output should always be under 5V. At 6:55 schematic shows that 8k ohm resistor is to the ground and 1k ohm to the output from boost converter. You took output of voltage divider and set it to A1. With voltage divider formula 8k/(8k+1k)*output, you will be way above 5v. Example: if we want 20v at boost converter output, output of voltage divider will be 8k/(8k+1k)*20v, and that will be 17.78v. You just need to flip resistors, 8k to output of boost converter and 1k to ground.
@@ELECTRONOOBS yes, just need to flip resistors. Thank you for your videos, you do awesome job. I'm really glad that there is someone who explain things awesomely, so that everyone understand.
What about making video where you can "hack" one of this buck boost converter to be controlled by arduino using their feedback pin i tried once i think it was 1.25v if voltage is higher output voltage goes lower and if its lower the output voltage goes lower too.. and does this will affect to output noise / ripple ? Thanks
Are you perhaps referring to the use of a linear regulator, such as the LM317? There are lots of 1.25V hacks with that part and ones similar to it. With a switching converter, the feedback works differently and doesn’t rely on a linear regulator for feedback. In fact, since the feedback/control is closed loop (as shown in the video), the linear wouldn’t be particularly useful, unless it’s being used as a low-cost, voltage reference. As a side note, although it’s not effective at reducing ripple as people seem to believe, it’s nevertheless common to use a linear regulator to _help_ filter the output of a switching converter. Of course, this requires the switching circuit’s feedback to compensate for the linear’s dropout as well, above the desired output voltage. Does that help, or am I not fully understanding your question?
Great video. How did you calculate the values for the inductor and capacitor? What factors did you take in consideration while calculating those values?
Hi, sir! I am trying to make a boost converter for 4v to 12v using 555ic. I made the circuit and it works fine but I can't get current over 200mA, no Matter what I do, I have tried different inductors from CFL ballast, then made my own inductor 20turns 4x parallel wires in a cfl inductor core, then tried a switching transformer primary, then made a toroidal inductor but at the best case, 50ohm load can be connected while getting 12v but the efficiency became 50% at this situation, otherwise it remains around 80%. I did a long experiment of trial and error, tried different frequencies (upto70KHz), different dutycycle, nothing worked, the max wattage was 2.5W only. I didn't make feedback because I will drive constant load as LED and with constant input voltage too. Now my question is, is it possible to make this more powerful, I tried my all knowledge, now I need your brain... Can you help me? I also have a feedback plan for 555, just to use an optocoupler to pull its reset pin down while the desired voltage generates, the LED side of the coupler can be drived by a zener diode or TL431 for voltage setting
The question is how do I develop one for my specifications? You have explained it really well but I know how a booster works. What exactly do I need to consider to build one on my own? Like design equations, or what repository is there that I can refer to?
I am really enjoying your videos. I want to know what is the minimum voltage that can be applied to this. Can we connect a 3.7v Li-ion battery as input to it?
when you used a map function with a value of an analog pin for the used in the PWN, preferred the use of >>2 recommende no use map function, slow procedure
Could you build a Boost Converter with current adjustment, not just voltage ajust? Also, I would like an output current greater than 1 A. Maybe 3-5 A would be OK.
Hey man, nice video, i learn everything, but i'm projecting a buck converter to charge my acid lead battery, and when i finished the project i did test on a resistive load and its works! But when i put the battery as load, don't pass any current to load.
Hey!! You used LM2577 IC does that require any additional supply? and also does the circuit works for an input voltage of 1v and how can we get that IC? Please can u reply me
Awesome work, bro! 😊 Something I hate about boost converters is that the ones capable of 3 to 4.2v input (to use with a lithium battery) are really too weak. 😣 Anyway, any news about the quad? 😀
Can you make a powerbank (stupid question) But this time Arduino as a controller So we can use a oled to see how much power is left,how much we used, charging stetus and which port we are using on what ampere (1A , 2.1A) And Arduino will control the MOSFETs of booost converters And a small button for torch light like other display powerbank modules This will be a great project
7:35 what do you mean by using an arduino is not efficient? what are the cons of using an arduino nano or uno for a boost converter? I want to make a project in which the pwm is controlled by the arduino
Hai Bro, I designed this project 12V to 48V boost converter. But as soon as i connect input 12V, battery gets drained and it shows 0V at input and 0V at output can u plz tell me what is the problem with this
The only component that semiconductors company don’t design is a feedback ic the do all the calculations for any feedback voltage for any own ic that’s one component I don’t think will even design to stabilize any voltage
I built the circuit without a driver transistor and controlled the FET directly ( IRF1404), the circuit did not work at all at first, I had to slowly turn up the potentiometer on A0 so that the capacitor gets charged stepwaise , otherwise the gate of the FET was switched ON way too long and drew 7 A constant without really working . The control behavior only worked as long as the capacitor was not suddenly discharged, the problem is the gate time, 01.254 is set in the program, that was way too high for my circuit, only when I had reduced to 01.220 did the circuit start immediately even if the capacitor suddenly started was discharged with a short before. I am currently building a device with which I can spark weld nickel and steel wire (for vaping) and I need up to 120V depending on the diameter of the wire. But I also want to intrude different functions, so I reach for the Ardurino. With the PWM I only realize the precharging of the capacitors, but I also want to determine which power is charged and after which time the circuit on the capacitor to the welding contacts is interrupted. With the new PWM setting, I now fully charge 3 parallel capacitors 200V 470uf in 2 sek. I also donated a Z diode with 4.7 volts to A1 for Protaction. It is still a lot of work to do because I am just a hobby electronics technician and the last time that i programmed I using Power Basic (about 25 years ago ) :-))............
One question . I put one coil between wires and increased frequency with frequency generator.. when i adjust higher frequency in multimeter i saw voltage becomes lower so that means it is inductive reactance decreases this voltage. In boost converters when you increase the frequency then voltage also increases because diode and capacitor prevents this reverse polarity phenomena (inductive reactance).. so switchin coil without any components makes voltage drops but switchin coil with diode and capacitor you can keep voltage higher.. am i right ?
I noticed that the potentiometer in your power supply works in reverse: clockwise it decreases the voltage and viceversa. Do you know that you can switch the GND and VCC pins on your potentiometer and get it reversed?
Sir why the circuit diagram you showed in the video is different from that which you provided us with the link?? I mean the components are different Please tell me which is the good one , i mean by which diagram should i make the boost converter Please reply.....
Sir i tried to make boost converter with using 555 ic for square wave i get 30v output bt when i plug a 12v dc relay at output the voltage dropped at given voltage what should i do now.
Would this 600V Schottky diode (1N5406) work? I want to build a high voltage boost converter controlled by Arduino (the goal is to be able to throttle the voltage of an extremely high voltage Cockcroft-Walton from 5-100% without any knob-turning - no potentiometers, no variacs, etc; software only, controlled by an RC transmitter or other wireless signal). Are there any issues you foresee in building this modified boost converter circuit? Obviously, I need a larger voltage divider. How will I need to change the inductor, cap, etc. Maybe I need to use an optocoupler or something to protect the Arduino? Any tip/advice is appreciated.
Nice Idea to use An RC control to be safe when you want to change the voltage 👍 Great Idea! Obviously you need a flyback without a diode charging your multiplier and not Just An inductor.
That 2K resistor from the gate to Positive input before the inductor has me baffled a bit because it seems to be puling the gate of the mosfet high which will turn the mosfet on as soon as power is applied to the input essentially making the mosfet short out the possitive and negative rail constantly unless the arduino interupts it. so if the arduino is not running for some reason the whole thing ends up in smoke. Reason i am asking this is because i am building this circuit right now and have nearly completed it but i don't want to apply power to my PCB before i have this query answered please.
wow you awsome ... dude udk what itis but for some reason i dont like the great scotts videos .....but i like yours i can actually sit down and watch them maybe its the accent or the way you explain .... awsome
I get to know that only programable ic can give a stable output voltage of any dc switching dc to dc that why solar mppt circuit use digital ic to program it and no comparator or op amp can maintain the voltage
