Figure 5.15: Worksheet for 3.3V converter in boost mode.5.2.5 RemarksIf the HF amplifier is not supplied in 7.2VThe role <strong>of</strong> 7.2V converter is to supply the HF amplifier. The amplifier is still in an earlystate <strong>of</strong> development, <strong>and</strong> even if the maximum required power can be estimated, the requiredvoltage is not really determined. The controller <strong>of</strong> the 7.2V converter, the TPS61087, hasalso been chosen because it is able to deliver a stabilized voltage between 5V <strong>and</strong> 18.5V. Ifthe HF amplifier is not supplied with 7.2V, but has to be supplied in any voltage in the 5Vto 18.5V range, the circuit will be easy to modify. As long as the TPS61087 is used, all thedevelopment steps <strong>of</strong> section 5.2.2 can be followed <strong>and</strong> adopted.Values <strong>of</strong> the coefficient ”k”In this report, the coefficient k is the ratio between the current ripple <strong>and</strong> the average currentin the inductor <strong>of</strong> a converter,k = ∆i LI avThe literature about switching converters recommends using a k <strong>of</strong> 20% to 40% [16].
