Hello,
Our 160W two transistor forward converter simulaton (LTSpice) switches in a noisy and irregular manner when synchronous FETs are used with higher “Qg”.
(the ‘synchronous fets’ are the secondary side fets)
This seems to me that it may be a fault of the simulator(?), because changing the synchronous FETs to an almost similar FET, with a slightly lower Qg parameter, completely solves the problem, and it switchs smoothly. Is this a fault of the simulator?
Using IPB107N20N3 FETs causes noisy switching.
Using BSC900N20NS FETs switches smoothly and properly.
I'd like to run the sim, but my ancient laptop has a slow processor, limited memory and the hard drive is nearly full! The sim starts, but slows to an interminable crawl. Can you post a cut-down version with just the affected FET section?
