 DC/DC CONVERTER

Lets consider selection criteria for each component

Cin Selection
Cin calculated value =11.88uf
voltage rating =30V
standard capacitor for the above specifications 12uf with 50V rating

 Cout selection
cout calculated value = 2.86 uf
voltage rating = 20.12V
standard capacitor value =3.3uf
voltage rating
= 50V

Mosfet selection
Mosfet voltage rating =30V
Mosfet current rating =1.15A
IRF540 was selected as the Mosfet

 Diode selection
diode voltage rating and current rating =30V & 1.15A

Converter switching frequency high normal diodes not

applicable
Diode should have a low recovery time
Step recovery diode should be selected
1N5400 Schottky diode was selected

 Inductor selection
current rating = 1.15A
core

= toroid

wire gauge =

 PCB and the schematic

 Since IR2110 gate driver is not available a optocoupler

and a complementary transistor is used to drive the
Mosfet

Q1 =2N2222
Q2 =2N2906
