I'd like to design a 90W DC/DC converter to use a laptop in my car.
It should convert 12v of my car to 20v.
I know that the car battery do not provide always 12v... but I've no experience with it.
Is someone know :
- what is lower DC voltage (voltage drop ) that my converter must cope with ?
during car use ? during engine start-up ?
- what is highest transient voltage that my converter must stand ?
- is there a typical circuit to protect my converter against transient ?
- is there a better choice than the "boost" configuration ?
Thanks for your help
