    Not able to get high current from buck boost (sepic) converter made using TL494

    I am trying to build a buckboost converter for converting 5-40v input to 5-35V output at 3A max to use it for many purposes by usign TL494. I am using a SEPIC topology as i want a non inverting output. I simulated the circuit in proteus. The circuit works fine when i connected a 500 Ohm load, I...

    Strange voltage spikes in MOSFET gate driver

    Hello, I have designed a TL494 half bridge power supply which simulates fine in LTspice but has some problems when soldered on a board and I can not figure out how to fix them. Schematic pictures are attached. 1. If I connect GDT1 and GDT2 as seen in the schematic pictures, the output...

    SMPS Transformer noise and Low output voltage

    Hello, i have an issue with a 12v30A PSU: low output of 4v instead of 12v, SMPS transformer noise like low frequency issue. No short element in the secondary, RT/CT of tl 494 within specs, but i suspect the capacitor at VCC of TL494 : it is only 10mF and has only 7.5V. The DC output voltage...
