I have been learning about switching power supplies, namely buck and boost transformers but LLC transformers as well and I am really excited at making my own power supply now that I see how powerful of a tool they can be. I am learning electronics as I go along so there may be some simple concepts and rules of thumb that I may be missing but I'm not shy to learn. I'm open to criticism and better opinions on the designs but it would be awesome if you can provide explanation on new concepts and confusing ones as I am learning as I go along. Here is a block diagram of the way I'd like to see the power supply function.
The following are the targets I would like to achieve in the design. However it could hit these points is fine with me.
*Can supply +100W of power and a decent amount of current.
*Does not require much heat dissipation. (efficiency?)
*Outputs a wide range of voltage adjustment. (60v?)
*Multiple regulated voltage supply outputs.
*Regulated output for a basic oscilloscope (From China)
*120v AC plug capable of TRIAC/AC PWM adjustment.
*Can be carried in a backpack or something.
*Can be rescaled to larger power outputs without completely redesigning. (optional)
*Limit the use of complex IC's and code based Chips.
*Prefer using only through hole packages where possible.
*Keeping frequencies under 150khz for scope visibility.
I know it's not a small project and all but I want to have a power supply that is good and doesn't have many power limitations.
I will post progress and notable mentions below.
