A project log for MC34063 based Bench power supply

Title says it all. It will also include digital control

I'm basically going to use the example layout provided by the chip's datasheet for buck converters with some modifications.


The area highlighted in red will be controlled through an opto-isolater from the MC34063. I will be using a combination of a NPN transistor to turn on the P-Fet as fast as possible with a low resistance pull up resistor for quick turnoff.

The main reason why i want this kind of isolation is so i can tie the channels together in series or have a +V to GND to -V rails.

Later this week, I will be testing if directly applying a voltage to the feed back pin will allow me to manipulate the output. Those results (among others) will determine if i continue with these project.

Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

PS. Can someone suggest an opto-isolater that can work above 200 KHz ? I'm not sure on what to look for in a opto-isolater.
