Constant current feedback op-amp analysis

Above is the schematic for the convoy XHP35 flashlight driver. As you can see, the current control loop uses the op-amp as a comparator between a setpoint (low-pass filtered PWM output from a ...

Voltage drops when trying to get high current from boost converter

I have designed a Boost converter which boost 5V input to 12V output. I designed it using TPS61378 boost converter IC by Texas instruments. I was able to get around 450mA current from the output ...

How can I improve the feedback portion of my boost converter circuit?

I designed this boost converter to drive vacuum florescent displays, nixie tubes, and similar devices. It can drive a 10k Ohm load at 235V. I'm sure I can get away with larger loads as alot of the ...

Op amp as a comparator output turning partially high when it's supposed to be low

I'm using an AD823 op amp, as a comparator as part of a feedback loop in a boost converter. Although the boost converter and feedback portion functions as desired, the problem is when I check the 13 V ...

Can one CC boost LED driver be used for 2 different loads separately?

I have a constant current boost LED controller (TPS92691) which I am designing to output 4A switching between two LED strings. This is with a 2S lipo battery. One string has a stack forward voltage of ...

Does a current sense resistor not always mean a constant current output for dc-dc converter?

I've had a understanding that having a current sense resistor feeding into sense pins or a feedback pin meant that the inductor current was changing wrt the variations across sense resistor, hence ...

Apart from MOSFET selection what else determines max output current for LED controller IC?

TPS92691 is a LED controller, not a monolithic IC which has an integrated FET. Hence, I'm curious why the landing page for this part (https://www.ti.com/product/TPS92691) mentions that Iout(max) is 5A ...

Does current mode control for dc/dc conv imply a constant current output?

I am getting very confused, I have read articles about current mode and voltage mode control, and it seems that most converters use current mode control - which seems has two nested control loops. The ...
