Tool/software:
Hello everyone,
Wondering if I could get a design review on this circuit. I think I am doing something wrong / don't understand something as I am having difficulties getting the circuit to actually work outside of simulations. Goal of this circuit is to take 11V-13V (12V normal) and boost it to 27V to drive these 3 LEDs in series. Again I think there is something I don't understand as I can not get it to work. I will post all my calculations below and the schematic. Any tips is greatly appreciated. I do ask if there is something wrong with my math if you could show how you got a different answer that would be appreciated as it helps me learn what needs to be done compared to how I did things. Also if things need added like resistors and what not, a little explanation as to why it is need would also be appreciated. I will say I am not an electrical engineer I am just doing this as a fun project to learn more about led driver circuits. I am sure on the board layout there is much that could be done differently, but this is my first shot at doing this, I will take all the tips into consideration when changing things if needed.
Here is all the math and values I used to get numbers, apart from the ones that are driven from the datasheet
Input voltage range: 11V-13V
Led string: 3 LED
Output voltage: 27 Volts
Switching Frequency: 800khz
Max LED Current: 1A
Inductor Current Ripple: 40% of max inductor current
Dimming Type: PWM/ADIM Dimming
L=10.0uh (need to swap out for 10uh on board)
Dmax = .5185
ILmax= 2.08A
SW=800kHz (need to change resistor)
Vin(ripple) 16.2mV with a 10uf input cap
Iled ripple= .0399A
Rled= 3 Ω
Zcout= 0.087 Ω
Ccout=2.29uF
Rsense =200Ω (want 1 amp at 100% pwm)
Csense = 3.25uF
Rovp1 = 100K
Rovp2 = 3.3K
Math
Inductor Choice
L=13V×(27V−13V)/27V×0.4×2.08A×800,000
L=10.1uh
Vin(ripple)
VIN ripple=.832A/8×(10×10−6)×800,0000
RLED= .2V/.2A*3=3Ω
ZCOUTt=3*.0399/1.41625-.0399=0.087 Ω
CCOUT = 1/2π*800,000*.087 =2.29uF
Rsense=.2/1=200mΩ
Csense =.25*2.08/200*800,000=3.25uF
Here is the schematic
And here is the board layout
Again the help is greatly appreciated. Any changes if you could give an explanation as to why would also be greatly appreciated as I am trying to learn something new that I have never done before.
Appreciate you all!
