Design of a Boost Converter

Abstract

The switching mode power supply market is flourishing quickly in today’s world. Design engineers aren’t always supplied with the desired amount of voltage they need in order to make their design function properly. Adding an extra voltage supply to a design is not always cost efficient. This thesis is proposed to provide the designer with a method of boosting DC voltage from 5 Volts to 15 Volts, by using a boost converter designed specifically for this task. All aim, calculations, tests, data and conclusions have been documented within this report. Results of simulation show that the switching converter will boost voltage from 5 volts to 15 volts with power conversion efficiency of 94.16 percent.
