TL 494 feedback loop doubt
(1/1)
Achu:
Hi

Im tying to make a boost converter circuit.All the designs based on tl494 are shown to have positive feedback.
In my knowledge in if the o/p voltage increases feedback increases and pwm duty cycle will also increase and this will
cause a domino effect.
Maxim website shows a negative feedback loop.

Im confused please correct me guys.

From Fig. 9 of the TI TL494 datasheet you can understand that the input + and - denomination is unusual.
The schematic you have appears to be correct. They exchanged the two comparators for current and voltage but that shouldn't matter.

Right, the output is inverting (see the pair of NOR gates).  Or inverting again depending on if you use the C or E pins as output, and with an inverting driver (as shown here) or not.

It would seem RV1 in that voltage-sense divider could seriously do harm to the TL494..
xavier60:
The way that the OR-ing diodes are wired means that whichever op-amp's output is the highest will take control of the PWM, reducing it. The op-amps need to be configured as non-inverting.
The output phasing has to also be correct. When the TL494's transistors are on, the switching element should also be turned on.
