3 Amps Switching Power supply

[satanicoo]

Guys, i need a 3 Amps Power supply, a switching one to be more efficient.
It will help me control the amout of current a Brushless motor consumes on low RPM

Max voltage it should supply is 12V.
It can (and should probably) be based on MCU controling.
I would prefer as feedback some kind of hall-effect to detect current, but it's up to you guys.

Do you have any sugestion as how to do this?

Thanks.

    Hi, what type of motor you want to control. Normally there are different types of motors and their controllers. Also what type of power supply you need. Offline smps(Switch Mode Power Supply) or mcu controlled power supply. people use SMPS because of their small size and efficiency. also it is low cost campared to MCU controlled power supply.
    My suggestion is to go for offline flyback converter. B'cz it is low cost and isolated supply.  Google for "offline flyback converter application notes". There are many easy to build application notes available.

you can use the lm2576 its good for you

What about this is, It uses a pic chip from here

You could use the basics from it, how they connect the mosfets up and the code you don't have to use everything but you should be able to build one from that

Hi,
If it is only a 3amp switching regulator, you can use L4964 or L4973. Works from 55A. L4964 can output max 4A and is available in Multiwatt-15 Package. L4973 is available in DIP package and can output max 3.5A.

Hi All
Please see in www.320volt.com

Thank you tAhm1D and picavr, those are quite the simple Amp supply i was looking for.
Not MCU based, but surely will do otherwise.

Wizpic, that article seems exactly what i need, but it seems it's only available to "members" (aka paying users). Could you get me the source code for the MCU?

Thank you again, ricardo.
