    New Approach for the Step-up Converter Efficiency Increasing
    (НМетАУ, Дніпро, 2021) Guda, Anton I.; Zimoglyad, Andrey Yu.
    ENG: This paper is devoted to the problem of efficient power conversion technologies creation. The main article objectives are: provide a simple method for the step-up converter energy efficiency improvement, without usage of the bleeding-edge components, explore the characteristics the proposed method and schematic properties, and to establish the bounds of the applicability for the proposed solution. In this paper an another approach is proposed. In the initial state, input voltage is used for the gate driver powering. After the start-up, when output voltage become greater, than the input one, it become the source for the driver. Schottky diodes may be used as a switch between input and output schematic branches for driver powering. Experimental unit to test new approach was created. It is base on IC MC34063A, TC4420, MOSFET IRFP3205 and other components. A series of experiments was held to determine new approach properties. Comparison with classic step-up method reveals difference between approach. Experiments shows, that in the case of high load, classic schematic fails to stabilize output voltage some earlier, than proposed method. In the same conditions power efficiency may be higher up to 15 %. On the other hand, due to increasing power loss in control circuit this method has slightly lesser efficiency in the case low load.Numerical estimation of new approach properties, along with experimental results provides background for correct approach selection. Some discrepancies between theory and experiments requires further investigation. Proposed approach really provides better power efficiency in the case of high load, but using this approach on lower loads may be useless due to control power rising. Precise working range can not be determined only by calculations, experiments are required.
