I am trying to build a simple DC to DC boost converter.
I am concerned with the body diode of the MOSFET (IRFZ44N) used as a switch.
How can I make sure that the body diode does not conduct when the inductor kicks?
The objective is to make the schottky diode conduct to charge up the capacitor.
I am new to this design. One idea that has popped up is to put a simple diode in series with the MOSFET to delay its response.
During that time, schottky will start conduction and all of the inductor current will flow through the capacitor.
I am using this approach:
**broken link removed**
