Studi Sains: Analisis Eksperimental IC XL6009 pada Boost Konveter DC – DC

Abstract

This research aims to evaluate the performance of a boost converter based on the XL6009 IC through a series of experimental tests with variations in the input voltage. The boost converter circuit design is made with main components such as inductors, capacitors, Schottky diodes, and feedback resistors to regulate the output voltage level. The test was carried out by providing an input voltage of 2.6 V, 2.7 V, 2.8 V, and 2.9 V, followed by measuring the resulting output voltage. The results of the tests show that the circuit successfully increases the input voltage to a higher level, producing output voltages of 7.93 V, 9.37 V, 10.63 V, and 11.57 V respectively. The voltage increase ratio is in the range of 3 to 4 times, which reflects consistent performance and is in line with the attributes of the boost converter. Additional analysis shows that the circuit design can be refined to increase efficiency and reduce voltage fluctuations. The findings of this study prove that the XL6009 IC is a useful component for boost converter applications in various power electronic systems, such as portable power sources, renewable energy systems, and battery charging.
