I am trying to design dc to dc buck converter to be controlled by micorcontroller or fpga.
The problem i am having is that the gate resistor is getting hot quickly. (please see attachment - diagram excatly as
connected on the stripboard).
1. Can you please have a look at the diagram and advise me whats wrong. TC4451 inverter / TC4452 non inverter. (only had these types available)
Resistor between gate and source. Do i need one for this application? how to calculate the value?
2. I want to test buck converter with external pwm, e.g. 555 timer just to be sure is working ok beforeconnected to micorcontroller / fpga board.
Please help me with this project i really appreciated.
Thank you very much
Tony
