Hi,
I am designing a Buck-Boost converter and am new to Power Electronics (mostly have a background in Digital and some analog signals). I was using a BJT in my Buck-Boost and it was working fine in my SPICE model but discovered that they have a large on-resistance implying a large power disappation. FETs I hear don't have that issue.
When I put a FET in and modeled the circuit, it seems that I need 1.5MV to fully turn the FET on. As you can see by the screen-shots I posted of my circuit/simulation. With 15V applied to the Gate, I get an output in the FEMTO volts--yes, femto.
When I apply 1,500,00V, I get the desired result. I think I have the NMOS biased wrong but can't seem to figure out how to bias it correctly.
Any suggestions?
Thank You,
George
