Other things we need:

Spreadsheet with component specs:

nameTPS4306x_BOOST_CALCTOOL_REVB.xls

  • Inductor: AGP4233-473ME (100khz) or -683 (50khz), larger

    • Lower frequency → higher efficiency (less switching loss), more mass (larger coils)

  • Other simpler components in spreadsheet, seem feasible.

  • ~4 mOhm at 7.5V

Current Progress:

MPPT with output regulation:

To investigate: not using a multiplier

  • Potentially via output current sensing?

    • Battery should keep (in a short timeframe) stable voltage, so sensing the output current would give us a proxy for power
