Design Project
In this project, you are to design a buck converter.
As part of this project, you need to:
- Design and specify numerical component values for the power stage, input filter, and output filter.
- Specify the power devices and heatsink(s).
- Specify/design the passive components (e.g. capacitors and inductors) for the power stage and input and output filters.
- Design a feedback controller that results in a stable closed-loop system across line (input voltage) and load variations and also meets the static and transient control requirements. (A mathematical description of the controller coupled with supporting simulations is sufficient.)
For the full instructions and specifications, please see the Design Project Description (PDF).
