| Design of SMPS - Not sure what these spikes are being caused by. |

treez, Something wrong with your latest Dual Boost ? Only showing 210mW output ? |
| Zog:
I am an idiot. No load in sim. Just got back to working on it. shows 100W as advertised. |

--- Quote ---By the way, if you like, there is my free switch mode power supply course which explains a lot about SMPS's.... https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7aRNbu3Fes4TU92Mkw3YlA3ams --- End quote --- WOW. So much information and a great course treez. I was wondering on how to do so many things and having a skim through it I found many answers to my questions. Well done mate. So many links to great resources. Spreadsheets and on and on and on. If you made it into a wiki I think you would be the number one resource for beginners like me. I won't be asking so many questions now (I hope) that I have this little gem in my pocket. I was wondering how to make the supply into a 25W one for instance and putting two or more in parallel to get more power if I need it and I now have the info I need. Not found out how to lower the output to 25W yet though. But will keep digging, I am sure it's in there somewhere. Probably just mucking around in spice and selecting different components. Layout is still my biggest hassle. I am still working on that, but there are lots of resources to calculate currents in tracks etc. So I might eventually get through that barrier. --- Quote ---Here is also my guide to doing an electronics degree https://massey276.wixsite.com/electronicsdegree --- End quote --- At 59 it's a little late for me. Particularly as maths is not my strongest point. Cheers treez. |

Did not take long. Another question. In spice when looking at the current through L2 should I be selecting an appropriate inductor based on Average current or RMS. I am presuming RMS correct ? And that current should be less than the saturation current I am guessing. edit: stupid question. should be RMS given the wave shape. edit2: .. err.. shouldn't it ? :scared: More editing: Looking at this one for L2 in the tapped buck https://www.digikey.com.au/product-detail/en/pulse-electronics-power/PE-54036SNL/553-1419-ND/1037030 |

RMS current is relevant only in selecting the wire diameter. |
