Selection and Optimization of Main Components and Parameters of Secondary Power Supplies for Intelligent Vehicles

This article describes step-by-step actions that can be taken to accelerate the development of secondary power supplies for intelligent vehicles. The technology is presented by the example of designing a pulsed synchronous step-up DC/DC converter, which can eventually be used in the automotive industry. Based on the written technology, already at the design stage, it is possible to find and correct errors, the detection and correction of which on the finished product will bring significant costs. Thanks to this, it is possible to design a secondary power supply of any topology and power quite quickly and cheaply, taking into account the requirements for overall dimensions, components used, electromagnetic compatibility and thermal operating conditions.
