hi
i want to design sollarcell car using Dc to DC converter i have the circuit but i have these quistion if anyone can help me.
i will design a switch-mode, non isolated, dc-dc converter which can supply 3V at 2A nominal (6W) for powering a solar modelcar. The complete specifications are as follows:
· Input voltage Vin = 15V nominal, 10V min working, 20V abs max.
· Output voltage Vout = 3Vdc.
· Output current capability from 2A nominal, 3A maximum, 0.5A minimum.
· Converter Vout ripple = 100mV maximum.
· Converter output current ripple less 1%.
· Converter output voltage regulation = 0.2V (ideally 2.9-3.1V), for 0.5 - 3A load and 10-20Vdc input voltage.
· Target efficiency of > 80%.

the quistions are
- In practical design, the capacitors are not ideal. How to meet the design specification if ESR (equivalent series resistance) is considered in the design?
- In practical design, the inductors are not ideal. How to meet the design specification if the inductor resistor is considered in the design?
- MOSFET on losses
- Switching Frequency
- How to increase the efficiency your converter design? Start with possible losses in converter and state your methods to reduce the losses.
