    Voltage mode push pull converter ..or with RHPZ?

    Thanks, ...yes that does happen, but not at or near full load....what you describe happens when its backed off from full load. On or near full load and its pure voltage mode. ..as per page 4 , RHS, bottom diagram...

    Input impedance of error amplifier in SMPS?

    Hi Do you agree, that in the attached (LTspice and PNG) boost converter, the input impedance of the error amplifier is 47k + 17500R_in_parallel_with_2500R?

    Voltage mode push pull converter ..or with RHPZ?

    Thanks, but if you click "watch on youtube" you can watch it there. The video is on youtbe and is called.. "Easy to Follow Voltage Mode vs Current Mode vs Voltage Mode + Voltage Feedforward Control Methods" It is by Dr Ali Shirsavar at Biricha.com

    TL431 based Relay

    Thanks, you are right, if the Ref pin of TL431 is connected to 0V then it does appear that the cathode current sinks down to 1uA (100nA to 1uA). This is a surprise, since the cathode is actually also the Vcc pin of TL431, so its surprising that it suddenly stops drawing the 0.4-1mA of bias...

    Voltage mode push pull converter ..or with RHPZ?

    Hi, 08:56 of this... (...ok i dont know what happened, i hope people can get into that link) ..says that you cant do pushpull SMPS in voltage mode. But surely this is not totally true? I mean, yes, voltage mode gives the flux walking problem....and cannot be solved by a blocking cap in...

    SMPS with follow-on LC filter at output

    Hi, The attached is a 60W, 420kHz Buck with a secondary LC filter after the Buck stage. The Buck had a crossover frequency of 1700Hz before the LC post filter was added. The post filter is 1uH and 20mF...so a resonant freq of 1130Hz. This is less than the aforementioned crossover frequency...

    Why reactive power is not considered for calculation of efficiency of SMPS?

    The reactive current does cause extra conduction losses in the mains distribution system......so in a way, it could be made into an efficiency type measurement.......but try drawing out the schematic for that...right back to the power station!.......then work out all the wire gauges and lengths...

    TL431 based Relay

    Thanks thats interesting...i dont know what "off state cathode current" is...but TL431 will always draw 400uA to 1mA of "bias current" when it has more than 2.5V on its cathode.

    Feedback Loop calculation for SMPS with secondary LC output filter

    Hi, Do you agree, the expression for "wop" at the bottom left of page 10 should not be square routed? https://site.uottawa.ca/~rhabash/Practical-Feedback-Loop-Design-Buck.pdf Also at bottom left of page 10, do you agree in expression (30), the numerator should be "1 + s/wezr1"

    TL431 based Relay

    you cannot use TL431 like this...it draws 1mA bias current and make the Q2 come on regardless...use the ZR431 instead....or maybe the TLV431, but that is only 1.24v ref

    Doing conducted EMC scan in LTspice

    Hi, The following, in Fig 10, suggests that an FFT can be done with limit lines as shown in Fig 11.... https://www.analog.com/en/resources/technical-articles/how-to-get-the-best-results-using-ltspice-part-1.html So, I can run our Buck simulation in LTspice. Then i can view the FFT for the EMC...

    Reverse current of zener diode at 125degC?

    Hi, Do you know the reverse current of the 4V7 zener (BZX84-C4V7) when it has 2.5V on it?..and at 125degC? https://assets.nexperia.com/documents/data-sheet/BZX84_SER.pdf Datasheet ony gives it at 25degC

    Well known inrush circuit to SMPS

    Hi, The attach shows the well known input circuit to an SMPS, (here vin = 24V and power is 50W.) The SMPS controller must stay disabled until the PFET(s) switch has completely turned ON. The PFET(s) must stay off until the 220R resistor has charged the input capacitor up to VIN. The comparator...

    TL431 cathode voltage

    Hi, If you have a 6k2 resistor feeding the cathode of a TL431 (as attached), then supposing the voltage rises up from zero steadily.....obviously the cathode voltage cannot become 2.5V until the rising voltage has reached 6.2V + 2.5V = 9V But when this rising voltage is below 9V, do you agree...
