Marcos Alonso

Professor at University of Oviedo, Spain.
This channel is my personal notebook about relevant topics I am studying and want to keep recorded. This way, I can revisit them at any time. I like to learn new things. Join my channel if you want to learn along!
This channel is not for beginners though. A Bachelor degree with topics on electrical, electronics, and control engineering is assumed as the viewers' background. Always check the comment section of each video. I will add there any correction or clarification when necessary. Nobody is perfect :)
Please, let me know your comments, and don't forget to subscribe. Thanks!
Main topics on this channel are: Electronics, Analog and Digital. Power Electronics. Open software for electronics design. And occasionally... Physics!

    @@MarcosAlonsoElectronics Thanks, now I know how to use. It raise one very interesting application of extract the schematics from a netlist; even something so primitive, because some models are almost useless because tons of convergence problems, in this case we are willing to fix it. Or, sometimes, it turns better to assemble the circuit and not to simulate.

    Hello Professor Alonso, I'd like to ask why do we need C1 here, is it for the DC Block? And R3 is used to adjust the DC current? I'm still a layman of analog circuit, so thanks a lot for your videos 👍and looking forward to your response!

  • @MarcosAlonsoElectronics
    @MarcosAlonsoElectronics3 күн бұрын

    Hello, good question. C1 is necessary to inject the AC signal of V4 without disturbing the DC operating point at "in". If you do not use C1 and connect V4 directly to "in" node you will have a short circuit between "in" and ground for the DC operation.

  • @MarcosAlonsoElectronics
    @MarcosAlonsoElectronics3 күн бұрын

    Mathematically it should be OK to use negative inductances but LTspice does not like them. It won't converge. In this case it is better to use the other models. See video PE #32 for more info: kzread.info/dash/bejne/nYKY2JRwf7KYn5M.html

    hello professor, excuse me i have one question, in this video, 200kHZ frequency, how you obtained it? in this controller, you did not determine how you put 200kHZ in this IC? IS THERE any video for calculation frequency according to controller?

  • @MarcosAlonsoElectronics
    @MarcosAlonsoElectronics24 күн бұрын

    Hello, thanks for your question. Frequency is usually a parameter selected by experience. It is not calculated. It depends on the topology, type of switching (ZVS, ZCS, hard switching, etc.), type of switches (MOSFET, IGBT, bipolar, etc.), power level, target efficiency, etc. Typical frequency range when using MOSFETs is 50 kHz to 200 kHz for hard switching. 100 kHz is the most common switching frequency.

    20:16 There is a mistake here. The correct relationship between DC values Vi and Vo is: Vo=Vi*D/(1+rL/R). So in the final transfer function instead of factor Vo/D it should be: (Vo/D)* (1+rL/R) or just keep Vi. The difference is very small though since usually rL << R

    20:00 The factor 0.85 is used to have the same DC output voltage in the simplified model as in the complete model. However, I realized later that by doing this we were also changing the amplitude of the perturbation of the simplified model. It is better to separate the DC and AC parts.

    Hola Sr. Alonso. Tengo una duda respecto a este tema, el comportamiento de un circuito secuencial asíncronico además de depender de las señales de entrada en cualquier instante dado, depende de los estados de los elementos de memoria o del orden en el que cambian las entradas? Sus explicaciones son exelentes.

  • @MarcosAlonsoElectronics
    @MarcosAlonsoElectronicsАй бұрын

    Hola, gracias por su comentario. Sí, como se muestra en el esquema en 7:53, las salidas dependen del valor de las entradas y del valor de las variables internas o de estado del sistema. Se supone que las entradas van a cambiar de forma más lenta que el tiempo de respuesta del circuito. En otro caso, si las entradas cambian muy rápidamente, el sistema no tendría tiempo de responder y no funcionaría correctamente

    Hello Dr, based on 23:09, Why does the v(c) increase and why does the out current decrease even though the duty cycle increases?

  • @MarcosAlonsoElectronics
    @MarcosAlonsoElectronicsАй бұрын

    Hello, at the step instant the output voltage is 71.6 V approx. The lamp threshold voltage increases to 73.8 V very quickly. Because of Co the output voltage cannot change quickly so at the step instant the lamp current goes to zero (71.6 < 73.8, so the lamp diode blocks). The compensator "sees" the drop of the lamp current and reacts giving maximum output, which saturates at the limiting value of D=0.3. With this increase of the duty cycle the lamp current starts increasing, the compensator goes into linear operation again, and eventually the new steady state point is reached. A higher value of the average duty cycle is needed at the new operating point because the lamp voltage is now higher, so the converter output voltage has to be higher too.
