Good Day!
We have been designing a Boost converter that will power up a beacon. Two designs will be made, a 3V/5V to 12V converter and a 12V to 24V converter. I have used LT1935 to design this. The output voltage was fine. I have produced both 12V and 24V for the designs though I dont really have any idea how much output current each design is producing. based on LT1935's datasheet, the sample designs have a range of current is about 600mA to 1mA.
Unfortunately, the beacon we have purchased consumes 1.5A and 0.7A with 12V and 24V respectively. When we tried connecting the circuit to the beacon but the socket sagged. voltage source indicated 3V with 1A supply to the circuit.
May I ask if you have brilliant idea to solve this problem or you can suggest any other boost converter that can supply enough current to the beacon. If the info I've given might be insufficient, please be free to ask me. Regarding the siren, it might not be a problem since we're connecting it to the beacon in series.
I really hope that someone can help us since we're running out of time..Thank You very much.
