I will be specific with this question - it concerns the following schematic. I want to know, at least approximately, if the peak current flowing through C6 and the UCC373 chips. Because, for convenience reasons, I am using a single UCC27425 that has both non-inverting and inverting on the once chip. However these have a maximum current rating of 4.5A rather than 9A.
It has been rather surprising to me how bloody hard I have found it to find any SPECIFICS on this sort of thing, while searching the net.
One detailed worked example with this specific schematic, with some explanations about each step in the calculation, would be GREATLY appreciated and will set me up for all similar circuits in the future. Assuming that the supply voltage is 12V (as per the spec) and the duty cycle of U5 is 90% and the primary coil of the GDT or gate drive transformer has an inductance of 0.12 mH.
My problem is that I am not formally trained in electronics and there are significant gaps in my knowledge. So just a general description of how to do the calculation is not enough.
