Problem of boost converter

Former Member
Former Member over 14 years ago

Hello everyone, please help...

 

When i connect the circuit as the schematic below: the output is not changeable which means when I alter my Pot, the output remains the same. ( the frequency is about 2.3Khz)

One thing that I have observed is, the output is now depending on my Inductor value.

1mH = 100V++;10mH= 51V.

I burned my 3mH inductor while I was using C1=47uF (last time, the inductor wasn't burned !!! I wonder why)

The duty cycle is about 60%.

Things that I've summarized are :
1. When switching frequency is up to 23kHz, the inductor is alright but  the output is not alterable; When switching frequency is low as 1.4kHz,  the output can be altered but inductor will be burst ( it's like  overheat and cause the outside(cover) of the coil inductor melts.)

2. The feedback system seems like failure when frequency is as high as 20kHz. But, why?

3.  For 1 &2 are the conditions under resistor as load. And, I just  connected it to the real load that I wanted to connect. Things happen:
image The output voltage was less than just now: for 10mH, it became 30V;for 1mH, it became 80V [the output voltage is less 20V compare the just now]
(ii) When I connected to 1mH inductor, both of the inductor and Mosfet is quite hot ( i just connect it about 10++min)

4. "Hiss" sound is gone when the switching frequency is 20kHz with 60%duty cycle; "hiss" sound appears when switching frequency is 1.4kHZ...

Does anyone have any ideas regarding my problem? What should I do? Thanks a lot in advanced.

    Sorry, the C1 should be 2.2nF. and R1 is 3k Ohms

    Try a capacitor of at least 10 nF between pin 5 of the IC and ground.

    There must also be a capacitor over the supply terminals of the IC. If C2 is too far away there should be an extra capacitor over the supply of the IC.

    Try to prevent ground loops and apply short wires from both the ground and output pins of the IC to the gate and source of the FET.

    The FET has a high input capacity. So high charge currents will flow.
