Hello,
I'm designing a schematic of a buck converter using popular MC34063 IC.
It will power USB port (5V, 500mA) plus some additional devices.
Here is the schematic: http://www.nomad.ee/micros/mc34063a/
The input range will be quite large: 8 to 30V (it must work from 9V, 12V, 24V power supplies )
output voltage: 5V
output current: 0.75A
Fosc: 100kHz
In formulas you have to use the minimum Vin, so i used 8V.
I get about 296pF timing capacitor, and 9.4 uH inductor.
The main issue that worries me is what happens to the circuit operation if i end up using the 9.4uH inductor and 296pF and then feed bigger input voltage than i used in calculation? Will the circuit work ok?
Because if i use larger input voltage in calculations, let's say 24V
, the inductor then needs to be 28uH.. What inductor value to choose? 10uH or 28uH?
I wil be glad if someone could help me
