00:00:07.150 00:00:07.160 all right Valerie I'm ready I have my
00:00:10.009 00:00:10.019 charge hat I'm here and I'm ready to
00:00:12.049 00:00:12.059 calculate the capacitance for a boost
00:00:15.200 00:00:15.210 converter what's that oh we don't use
00:00:22.429 00:00:22.439 the charge hat approach for the boost
00:00:25.040 00:00:25.050 converter okay right we don't use it for
00:00:31.609 00:00:31.619 the boost converter we actually do a
00:00:33.110 00:00:33.120 different calculation and we're going to
00:00:34.459 00:00:34.469 talk about how we do that the boost
00:00:36.770 00:00:36.780 converter has the inductor at the input
00:00:39.049 00:00:39.059 here so the calculation for the
00:00:43.330 00:00:43.340 capacitance is actually going to be
00:00:45.139 00:00:45.149 independent of the inductance so let's
00:00:48.619 00:00:48.629 look at when the switch is on where the
00:00:50.510 00:00:50.520 current is flowing so when this switch
00:00:52.580 00:00:52.590 is on current flows through here in this
00:00:56.389 00:00:56.399 loop and because we need to provide
00:00:58.849 00:00:58.859 power to the load they're also gonna
00:01:01.010 00:01:01.020 have current flowing in this direction
00:01:03.590 00:01:03.600 so capacitor charge is going to be
00:01:07.850 00:01:07.860 supplied to the load during the switch
00:01:11.000 00:01:11.010 on duty time and when it's off its going
00:01:14.570 00:01:14.580 to go to the other phase but from this
00:01:17.060 00:01:17.070 we know that the capacitor has to uphold
00:01:19.160 00:01:19.170 the voltage within a certain limit and
00:01:23.240 00:01:23.250 we're gonna assume that you know you're
00:01:25.789 00:01:25.799 given a Delta Delta V out that is your
00:01:32.390 00:01:32.400 target ripple alpha voltage ripple so
00:01:35.990 00:01:36.000 assuming you have a voltage ripple
00:01:37.609 00:01:37.619 that's your target you want to pick a
00:01:39.499 00:01:39.509 capacitor to ensure that your voltage
00:01:41.600 00:01:41.610 stays within that ripple this value or
00:01:44.149 00:01:44.159 below so to do that we need to
00:01:46.910 00:01:46.920 understand how the current is flowing
00:01:49.030 00:01:49.040 this is the current for the capacitor
00:01:52.789 00:01:52.799 during the two stages so during the
00:01:56.030 00:01:56.040 first stage and this current is going
00:01:58.249 00:01:58.259 into the capacitor so during the first
00:02:00.380 00:02:00.390 stage the current is coming out of the
00:02:02.389 00:02:02.399 capacitor so we actually have a negative
00:02:04.370 00:02:04.380 value and we know that the output
00:02:06.319 00:02:06.329 current has to be maintained at whatever
00:02:08.029 00:02:08.039 the average value is so actually that
00:02:10.130 00:02:10.140 current is going
00:02:11.640 00:02:11.650 the average output current here this
00:02:14.399 00:02:14.409 level and then during the other phase
00:02:16.259 00:02:16.269 it's going to put all that charge that
00:02:18.300 00:02:18.310 it that came out of the capacitor has to
00:02:21.179 00:02:21.189 go back into the capacitor to charge it
00:02:23.130 00:02:23.140 up to the same level so this charge in
00:02:26.130 00:02:26.140 this charge is actually going to balance
00:02:27.539 00:02:27.549 but for this calculation of the hotter
00:02:30.210 00:02:30.220 side the capacitor we actually can look
00:02:32.369 00:02:32.379 just at this value we can start with the
00:02:34.949 00:02:34.959 capacitor equation so IC equals c dv/dt
00:02:41.179 00:02:41.189 and we're going to be looking at just
00:02:43.710 00:02:43.720 the on time of the on switch phase so
00:02:48.960 00:02:48.970 from 0 to DT here and that means we can
00:02:52.710 00:02:52.720 make these Delta's instead of DS so we
00:02:54.930 00:02:54.940 can see Delta V so the change in voltage
00:02:57.479 00:02:57.489 over delta T the change in a time and we
00:03:01.920 00:03:01.930 want to calculate the capacitance value
00:03:03.569 00:03:03.579 so let's move this equation around our
00:03:06.449 00:03:06.459 capacitance value it's going to be equal
00:03:08.819 00:03:08.829 to the current IC times delta T divided
00:03:13.619 00:03:13.629 by Delta V if we apply then the
00:03:17.720 00:03:17.730 conditions for the switch on phase we
00:03:22.470 00:03:22.480 will see that I see is gonna become this
00:03:25.949 00:03:25.959 IO and here we'll just I oh it's
00:03:32.759 00:03:32.769 actually gonna be negative but the Delta
00:03:34.289 00:03:34.299 V is also gonna be negative so those
00:03:35.909 00:03:35.919 will cancel out and then your D this
00:03:39.149 00:03:39.159 will become DT and then your Delta V is
00:03:42.059 00:03:42.069 gonna be your Delta V out which is your
00:03:44.670 00:03:44.680 value that was given to you or the
00:03:46.710 00:03:46.720 ripple value that you want so here you
00:03:50.640 00:03:50.650 just need to know your duty ratio your
00:03:53.550 00:03:53.560 period and the output current in order
00:03:56.759 00:03:56.769 to figure out the capacitance that you
00:03:59.219 00:03:59.229 need to achieve that ripple if you want
00:04:02.129 00:04:02.139 to be more specific to this resistor we
00:04:05.129 00:04:05.139 can simply put that value in we can also
00:04:09.839 00:04:09.849 write it as this value instead of IO we
00:04:13.289 00:04:13.299 can write it as V out ever to be out
00:04:16.009 00:04:16.019 over R and then DT over Delta V out so
00:04:24.860 00:04:24.870 this is the equation that you can use to
00:04:27.990 00:04:28.000 determine the capacitor value that you
00:04:30.570 00:04:30.580 want for a given change in the output to
00:04:35.010 00:04:35.020 the voltage ripple and it depends on
00:04:37.409 00:04:37.419 your output current which is your output
00:04:41.369 00:04:41.379 voltage divided by your resistor and DT
00:04:44.339 00:04:44.349 so there's no charge hat here it's just
00:04:48.059 00:04:48.069 a straight calculation and this will
00:04:50.700 00:04:50.710 help you give you the value for the
00:04:52.709 00:04:52.719 Kresser that you want some students get
00:04:55.080 00:04:55.090 confused because in reality this is
00:04:58.320 00:04:58.330 actually an RC circuit so as the current
00:05:01.890 00:05:01.900 is flowing through it's going to be
00:05:04.200 00:05:04.210 decreasing in voltage so if you wanted
00:05:06.450 00:05:06.460 to actually write it out or draw it out
00:05:09.749 00:05:09.759 more accurately it might be decreasing
00:05:11.790 00:05:11.800 like this say so there is some change in
00:05:16.800 00:05:16.810 the current value over time but because
00:05:20.550 00:05:20.560 we're dealing with averages the average
00:05:23.129 00:05:23.139 value that's going to come out of that
00:05:24.149 00:05:24.159 is still going to be the average output
00:05:25.950 00:05:25.960 current so we approximate that as the
00:05:29.010 00:05:29.020 average value and we do not do all the
00:05:31.800 00:05:31.810 integration of the slight change in the
00:05:35.129 00:05:35.139 output current so it is there in the
00:05:37.260 00:05:37.270 waveform there will be some difference
00:05:38.850 00:05:38.860 in reality but when we're doing the
00:05:40.709 00:05:40.719 calculation we will simply use the
00:05:44.189 00:05:44.199 average value and calculate it like this
