Design Parameters of The Converter

This document outlines the design parameters and component selection for a DC-DC converter. It specifies values for the duty ratio, current ripple, maximum and minimum inductor currents, critical inductance, inductance, input and output capacitances, voltage and current ratings for the MOSFET, diode, input and output capacitors. Based on these specifications, suitable components are selected - a 12uF capacitor for Cin, 3.3uF capacitor for Cout, IRF540 MOSFET, 1N5400 Schottky diode, toroid inductor. An optocoupler and complementary transistors are used to drive the MOSFET since an IR2110 gate driver is unavailable. The next steps are

Lets consider selection criteria for each component


Cin Selection
Cin calculated value =11.88uf
voltage rating =30V
standard capacitor for the above specifications 12uf with 50V rating

Cout selection
cout calculated value = 2.86 uf
voltage rating = 20.12V
standard capacitor value =3.3uf
voltage rating
= 50V

Mosfet selection
Mosfet voltage rating =30V
Mosfet current rating =1.15A
IRF540 was selected as the Mosfet

Diode selection
diode voltage rating and current rating =30V & 1.15A

Converter switching frequency high normal diodes not


applicable
Diode should have a low recovery time
Step recovery diode should be selected
1N5400 Schottky diode was selected

Inductor selection
current rating = 1.15A
core

= toroid

wire gauge =

PCB and the schematic

Since IR2110 gate driver is not available a optocoupler


and a complementary transistor is used to drive the
Mosfet
