This is a blog post about power management and 12V to 24V DC-DC Converters. Power management certainly is a tricky business. You have to know about electronic designs (and not just industrial ones). The goal is always to reduce energy demands. That said, there are some characteristics to consider when looking into 12V to 24V DC-DC Converters. The differences bring on various benefits and drawbacks.
There
is something to be said about the evaluation
of DC-DC converter efficiency. System losses play an important
role in examining the efficiency of a 12V
to 48V DC-DC converter.
There
are two types of analysis involved: peak current (resulting in switching
losses) and discharge phases relating to the converter circuit. If the losses
are a concern, look into the dynamics. Switch losses are generally caused by
the capacitive effects of the circuit.
Look
for energy losses in the inductor core. It is directly proportional to the
switching frequency. Finding the right inductor requires a focus on three
aspects: The saturation current, the continuous resistance of the inductor, The
physical size of the inductor.
Additionally,
the FET must be able to withstand the drain-source voltage during discharge. The
maximum drain current will need to be higher than the peak current as well. To
