Important Considerations:
- Efficiency: The efficiency of the circuit can be increased by choosing the right component values, reducing the losses in the inductor and diode, and ensuring good thermal protection of the MOSFET.
- EMI/RFI: Switching converters can generate electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). To reduce EMI/RFI, use the right filtering components and layout techniques.
- Safety: Switching converters can generate high voltages and currents that can be dangerous. Be sure to follow the right safety measures when building and testing the circuit.
In summary, building a DIY SMPS boost converter without an IC can be challenging, but it is possible with careful planning and assembly. It’s important to choose appropriate components, follow the schematic and assembly instructions carefully, and test the circuit thoroughly to ensure reliable operation.
