Gday' everyone,
I recently built my first SMPS (a simple lm2596 in a to220 package on a little prototype board). Inspired by the DC DC buck converter modules ya buy off ebay. So now I actually understand what's going on a bit more... I have a general question (3A is stacks for me so this on only a theory question...)
Could the maximum current be increased by putting some kind of power transistor on the switched output of the buck converter and running the 'output' of the transistor through a low pass filter and use the feedback of that?
Let's try a pickie to help me explain what I mean. I know there are bits missing off this schematic, please gloss over the obvious mistakes and missing/component choice, this is not a build schematic.
Thanks in advance everyone!
