I built variable switching power supply using schematic from this address:
I don't know if this schematic has any bug, but my switcher which is built using this schematic not works good :( I checked, and rechecked all connections several times, but everything is like on this schematic diagram. Voltage and current regulations are very bad. I conect stabilised 13V to input, and from another stabilised power supply I connect 12V for SG3524 and LF358. For testing I use mosfet BUZ11, and various ferrite inductors, but results are bad.
On output I cant get more than 6V, and output 470uF elco sounds like "bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"
Did anybady built any working switcher with this schematic?
Maybe is problem in inductor. Is it critical? I tryed with few toroid and ETD44 EI core with 4 to 40 turns of wire, with no luck :-( Which corre and numbers of turns is suggested for this type of application?
