Bachelor's Thesis

This bachelor's thesis deals with the design of an automated system for measuring and characterizing DC/DC converters. The theoretical part summarizes basic converter topologies and the parameters used for their evaluation, especially the load characteristic, voltage ripple, efficiency, quiescent current, and feedback loop stability. The practical part verifies the properties of the Analog Discovery 3 platform, includes manual measurements of a selected step-down converter based on the TPS54331 circuit, and describes unsuccessful attempts to measure feedback loop stability using the available transformers. A measurement fixture with a printed circuit board is also designed, and a Python program is created for instrument initialization, automated measurement of the load characteristic and voltage ripple, data storage, calculations, and graph generation. The result is a basis for a repeatable measurement system with defined directions for further development.

Student prezentuje řešení a výsledky své bakalářské práce. Na první otázku oponenta odpovídá pouze obecně. Na druhou otázku již odpovídá správně dr. Kubíček: Proč jsou naměřené charakteristiky zvlněné? Student odpovídá, že se mu nepodařilo vyřešit tento problém doc. Kadlec: Umožňuje přípravek kalibraci? Student přiznává, že tuto funkci neuvažoval
