    One correction to note: The output current is reduced because of P = IV where P must be equal or less than the input power, not because some is lost to switching. The loss to switching is what causes a reduction in efficiency of the boost converter. Some of the best modern boost circuits run at about 95% efficiency.

      The maker of this video didn't have a really firm grasp on the fundamental concepts. I've seen much worse, but he still makes some misleading statements. I simply can't make sense of what he is trying to say at a couple of points.
      I got around 95% efficiency or better across the input voltage range for a universal input active power factor correction stage that was delivering around 1.2 kW, and that was in a design I did nearly two decades ago. FETs have improved quite a bit since then.
      Although other topologies are possible, active PFC is usually implemented with a boost converter with the interesting requirement that the instantaneous input current be directly proportional to the instantaneous input voltage (as you want for good power factor) but the average input current must inversely proportional to the average input voltage (because of the negative input resistance characteristic of a switchmode converter).

    A boost converter without a load can produce an arbitrarily high voltage regardless of the switching frequency or the inductance. In practical circuits there is a limit because of of losses, primarily those due to switching transitions that are finite. Of course eventually something would go _Bang!_ due to excessive voltage stress.
    At the instant the switch opens, the current through the inductor is *exactly* the same as it was the instant before the switch was opened. This is the most fundamental aspect of the nature of an inductor in this sort of circuit (where you are considering energy storage and delivery as opposed to considering it in terms of impedance in an AC circuit). The voltage across the inductor will rise to whatever voltage is required to allow that current to flow. At opening on the very first cycle that voltage will be equal to the diode forward voltage if there is no load on the circuit because the capacitor voltage will be equal to the battery voltage, having charged before the switch was closed (provided there was sufficient time after the input power was connected before the first cycle began). With each additional cycle the voltage on the capacitor will increase, hence the voltage across the inductor will increase. Again, unless there is a load connected and ignoring losses, there is no limit to the voltage to which the capacitor will charge regardless of the inductance, duty cycle or switching frequency.
    Vdt = Ldi or the alternative arrangements says that in equilibrium with a load the rise and fall of current in the inductor is linear ramps. If the inductor is not allowed to fully discharge with each cycle, these ramps "ride" on a DC level.

    Great video. I use those sealed marine grade 12v to 36v (5a) step up boosters to convert 12v battery power to power Bluetooth digital chip amplifiers in my speaker builds. They work flawlessly. Here's my question, why do my amplifiers (running at 36v) sound better (more power, fidelity) vs using their stock (included) AC/DC adapters that come with these little digital chip amplifiers? I don't have an audio dyno or distortion tester...but, I can "hear" and "see" the difference when the woofers on my speakers are pounding harder. Thanks.

    • @d614gakadoug9
      @d614gakadoug9 Рік тому

      My guess is that the larger power supplies are better able to handle the high and relatively long transient current required for loud parts. The voltage of the small supplies probably "droops" under heavy load because they are overloaded. When the supply voltage drops the audio amplifier tires to correct but it may not be able to, resulting in "clipped" waveforms. It MIGHT be possible to make them sound better by adding capacitance across the output of the supply for better transient handling, but that does nothing for prolonged excessive current demand.
      It would be quite easy to confirm or reject my hypothesis with an oscilloscope.

      @d614gakadoug9 Рік тому

      I don't know what you mean by "a hi tolerant diode." The voltage rating needs to be no higher than the output voltage of the circuit. The current rating needs to be no higher than the input current of the circuit (it will see instantaneous current higher than the average input current, but that rarely is much of a concern). Fast reverse recovery time (the time it takes the diode to switch off when the reverse bias is applied) is important in practical boost converter circuits. Schottky diodes are often used if their voltage rating is adequate.Their forward voltage is lower than that of a similarly-rated PN junction diode and they are extremely fast (very low reverse recovery time).

    • @d614gakadoug9
      @d614gakadoug9 Рік тому

      With no load connected the current through the inductor would decay to zero once the output capacitor was charged, before any switching started. However, if there were a load connected the current, again before switching started, would be equal to the (input supply voltage minus the diode forward voltage) divided by (the inductor winding resistance plus the load resistance). You cannot protect a boost converter against short circuiting of the output without additional circuitry.

    • @d614gakadoug9
      @d614gakadoug9 Рік тому +1

      In general terms, switchmode converters are power converters - the power from the output is equal to the power at the input, ignoring the losses (things like resistance of the inductor winding, losses in the core of the inductor, loss at each transition of the switch, diode forward voltage, etc.).
      Because of this, a switchmode power supply actually has a "negative resistance" input characteristic. That doesn't mean it actually behaves like some true resistance of negative magnitude, but that the slope of current versus voltage at the input is opposite what it would be for a resistor if you were to make a graph. It a normal resistor if you increase the voltage across the resistor the current through it will increase in direct proportion. With a negative resistance, if you increase in voltage the current decreases in proportion. For example with a switcher, if the input had 10 volts applied and the current were 4 amperes (so 40 watts) and you increase the input voltage to 15 volts, the input power remain the same and the input current would become 40 watts / 15 volts = 2.67 amperes. In practical circuits the relationship won't be perfect because the losses in the circuit change in non-proportional ways with varying voltage and current. Maximum efficiency might come at some particular input voltage with lower efficiency for both lower and higher voltage.

    Nice explanation on boost converters, thanks for making this video. I was confused about one part, though--at 7:38, you say that increasing the frequency applied to the mosfet gate will increase the dI/dt and hence V across L. I was thinking about how all of the (various few) buck/boost converter designs I've seen use PWM control, and not FM control. Wouldn't dI/dt depend on the rise time of the MOSFET rather than the switching frequency? Seems like a square wave would give you the minimum rise time and hence maximum dI/dt.

    • @d614gakadoug9
      @d614gakadoug9 Рік тому

      I didn't really follow what he was trying to get at. It seemed rather muddled.11
      Increasing the frequency, all other things being equal, actually decreases di/dt in the inductor. The rate of change of current in an inductor is proportional to the voltage across it. If the input voltage, output voltage and duty cycle all remain constant, increasing the frequency results in dt being smaller in each cycle thus di is proportionally smaller. If you want to increase di under those conditions you must make the inductance smaller.
      EDIT TO CLARIFY: di/dt as such does not imply any fixed time, and in fact the opposite - a way of expressing what happens with infinitesimal change in time. It really isn't correct to use di/dt for some fixed amount of time - that would be expressed as Di/Dt where the capital D really should be a capital Greek delta (a triangle Δ; the d in di/dt really should be a small Greek delta δ thus Δi/Δt rather than δi/δt - characters may not render properly). If delta t is shortened, delta i will be reduced in proportion for the same voltage applied across the inductor.
      You can do a boost converter with FM though it isn't common in general purpose circuits. It can increase efficiency a bit at light loads because you have fewer switching cycles per unit of time with more or less fixed loss each cycle. Variable frequency operation is moderately common with active power factor correction circuits.Most active PFC circuits are boost converters with the interesting property that average input current must be inversely proportional to average input voltage but instantaneous input current must be directly proportional to instantaneous input current.

      @@d614gakadoug9 The greater the ripple voltage the lower the average DC voltage across the load will be. It's the same way in linear power supplies. The original question regarded how frequency alone can affect the output voltage as stated by robanada. An increase in frequency alone will increase the voltage but, in reality, only up to a point depending on the size of the inductor. For that reason PWM makes for far better control of the output voltage.

      @d614gakadoug9 Рік тому

      @@fiddlyphuk6414
      No. Greater ripple voltage does not imply lower average voltage. It simply means that there is a greater difference between the minimum, average and peak voltages. A triangle wave swinging between 1 volts and 9 volts has exactly the same average voltage as one swinging between 4.5 volts and 5.5 volts
      but 8 volts peak-to-peak ripple versus 1 volt peak to peak ripple.
      It is not at all the same as in linear supplies because a linear supply uses capacitors to "filter" what is a not-very-good VOLTAGE source while in a switcher the capacitors filter a CURRENT source. An ideal voltage source has zero impedance. An ideal current source has infinite impedance.
      The voltage in a buck or boost converter is dependent ONlY on the duty cycle if the input voltage is fixed and the inductor current is continuous.
      for a buck converter
      Vout = Vin x duty cycle
      for a boost converter
      Vout = Vin / (1 - duty cycle)
      Again, frequency simply does not appear in the expressions.
      ONLY ONLY ONLY if a change in frequency results in the inductor current changing from discontinuous to continuous does a change in frequency change the output voltage.

      With actual AC input you can do voltage multiplication with diodes and capacitors.

    Crazy idea for you. Do some videos on communication. Half for us old guys who can’t understand why students today can’t figure out how to use things like email and telephone. Half for students explaining how and why email and telephone are essential for an actual career.
    Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate your work. I am frustrated seeing my ex-students fail on their first job. It is simply insane to ask your employer to use UA-cam and Instagram. I’m serious. Graduates who depended on social media their whole life are actually failing.
