Noisy PWM output signal
Pull the input pins of the gate driver off the PCB. Add a RC to each pin. I used 100 ohms and 47pF. The capacitors must connect to the ground pin of the IC. I measured the frequency and set the RC time constant to just under that frequency. You probably do not have a good signal at the...

LFP batteries Ampere-hour comparison
"load" 1kw load at 450 volts is 2.2 amps. 1kw load at 48 volts is 20.8 amps. First we must define what LOAD is. It could be 1kw. Or it could be 2.2A or 20.8A. I normally think watts because that is a measurement of work or energy. Amps is volume. Electron flow has no energy in it unless...

LFP batteries Ampere-hour comparison
If your load was a 1kw light bulb each battery will last 10 hours. (more or less) The two batteries have the same ability to hold power. If you load was 20 amps, then Battery-1 will last 10hours and Battery-2 will last about 1 hour. (20a x 28V is very different than 20a x 450V in watts)...

DC Motor controller
So the start up current could be 30A? or more.

Power/control circuit isolation
Boost almost never uses synchronous diodes. Synchronous diodes are only used at low voltage. (not 36V) How much current? How much power per TV? Here is an example, from data sheet, of 12V to 24V at 1A. Pretty simple. To get 36V try changing R1 to 1.5X. The max current will drop some.

Power/control circuit isolation
There is not enough information to know. I need to know much more about where the power goes and comes from. What is the load? Example: Input power is "+12V" and "Ground" 12V at 550 watts. Output is "50V" and "Ground2" at 500 watts. If Ground and Ground2 can be the same thing...

Does drain current go up if doping also goes up?
Likely the units are in error. (numbers)

Does drain current go up if doping also goes up?
There are very few engineers on the earth that think at the "doping" level. Some of this is tough in school but none of the students will ever make their transistor. 10kA 1V transistor? The leads would have to be solid copper bars, or straps like car battery cables but much larger. Here is a...

Capacitors in Series
The capacitors have different leakage current. The one with 1.2V is leaky. Put a resistor across each cap. The resistors will make a voltage divider so each has 1/4 of the voltage. There is also a chance the capacitance is not equal. If the bottom cap=47uF and the top cap = 10uF the...

How do you connect these battery tabs?
Remove the shrink wrap. It is there so the batteries do not get together during shipment.

Bootstrap Gate Driver Question
Michael Mayorkas It is hard to know what your question is. This schematic is in the data sheet for the 3120. What " cathode to the anode " ?

Making My Own Ferrite Toroid Core
Because we don't know the mix of Iron & Zinc, and we don't know how dense the mix is, you will have to make a coil and see how it saturates. Do you need help with that?
