After finishing a project on a boost converter, I actually think that there is something I can do better.
Let me introduce you to my progress, at the moment to hardware extent by a function generator I manage to realize boosting the output voltage to +60Vdc with +2A output current maximally where the input voltage is +20Vdc and the assistant voltage is +15 Vdc. I can regard the result as the success of fulfilling the standards of the project. The standards of the project are: output voltage +35~+50Vdc, peak current +1.5A. However, the result we obtain now was based on the pulse width module wave which was generated by an accurate peripheral. At present I am waiting for my teammate to finishing their software part as soon as possible so that we could debug together and complete the project perfectly.
There is still an inevitable way for me to go about hardware’s degree of completion.
This project required us to utilize synchronous rectification to realize boost function. Synchronous rectification is a technique that uses MOSFETs with extremely low on-resistors in replace of rectifier diode in order to lower the rectification loss. Now that MOSFET is involved, we have to consider its characteristic. For a MOSFT, there will be a body diode inside and resistor. We cannot ignore the direction a that diode. The first I make the boost circuit, it just became shorted-circuit. This is the result of wrongly connected pins on the MOSFET and placing the diode adversely.
On the other hand, for a MOSFET, its differences between a high side driver and low side driver and usage can’t be ignored. In this Boost topology, one of the two applied MOSFETs is designed for high side and the other is for low side. From online resources, a high side driver is a way that let current travels from the supply through MOSFET to the load and then to ground; a low side driver is another sort of way that let current travels from the load/device through MOSFET to ground. In this boost circuit, the MOSFET that connects the inductor and the capacitors is a high side MOSFET, and the MOSFET that connects the capacitor to ground is a low side MOSFET.
To step up the voltage of a BOOST converter depends on the on/off frequency of the MOSFETs. When low side MOSFET is on, the inductor can be charge continuously. However, current of the inductor cannot change suddenly. At this time low side MOSFET is off, and high side MOSFET is on, current from the inductor charge the capacitors. Capacitors stores the energy the inductor transmit so that the output voltage can be step up high than the input voltage.
Moreover, I think that I still need more practice about choosing the right, exact parameter of circuit components like how much the capacitor, inductor should be(so that I can make a more efficient circuit), and that I still be more proficient in reading datasheet.

Ultimately, according to the boost and user-friendly design layout this time, right now my skill and level are still need to be improved further. In this project, overload protection is involved. I think maybe next time I can add a external notice that is more direct accept from MCU, like a lighting diode, or a buzzer.
