    Extended range for TL431 voltage reference

    Make a simple volt reg to 36V ( or 33 if you prefer ) and run this via a resistor to the Cathode of the 431, use dividers to the Ref pin of the 431, the other pin goes to gnd now the 431 will survive and the cathode will pull down when the divider string forces more than 2.495V on the...

    Where do you get "real" EMC information concerning SMPS?

    Most experienced power electronics engineers who have made product to pass standards know all about the " issues " you raise - and many others - they know how to design for " quietness " in the first place - to answer your question - you would talk to such an experienced person -...

    Power Mosfet datasheet test circuit Rgext value- switching times

    Really the Rgate value(s) are application specific - to fast a turn off with inductive load can volt spike the fet and kill it too fast turn on can do the same thing to diodes in the circuit ( sec side of transformer for example ) and cause high di/dt and RFI into control there is no...

    Bode plot

    I second that - step load tests let you see things that small signal loop plots do not !

    Small cheap simple microphone needed.

    10.5 cents each USD is not to bad ( 10 in a bag ), and yes you need a DC blocking cap due to the way the electret works with the internal fet.

    Common Mode Choke Query

    if you wire a CM choke as series aiding ( instead of series cancelling - i.e. normal mode ) then you will get 4 x the L of a single wdg, as L prop to N^2.

    Bode plot

    unless you can average readings to remove the noise - and calc the phase lag between the two signals ( and the magnitude difference for gain ) you may as well give up - noise is the biggest bugbear when trying to do loop gains - hence things are normally run at the highest...

    Bode plot

    what you can do is use a sig gen ( isolated if necessary ) to inject a sine wave perturbation into the control loop - i.e. into just after the volt ref or demand spot - insert resistor ( say 100 ohm ) if necessary, to isolate the Vref from the sig gen - and then look at the output of...

    Rdson of a GaN FET

    1V / 22A = 45m-Ohm at that point - 6V drive, the 22 watts would cook it pretty quick if left in that condition 50 m-Ohm is a good figure to use

    TPS61088 - Cannot get enough current

    Yes - verify the Fsw, I simply read it from the graphs in the data sheet with the given R in the sch ! - and also that the inductor is not saturating ( build a square 4 of the L's and solder in temporarily on wires, this gives the same L, but twice the current capability ) I note...

    What ... ? Oh - you're welcome . . .

    TPS61088 - Cannot get enough current

    Dick has the good suggestions to follow first. also the wires to the board - dropping volts ? 1742251414 OK - it's pretty easy to see the issue here - the freq is set for 267kHz, the curr limit is set for ~ 8A say we are boosting from 3V to 5V, the steady state D will be ~ 0.4...
