Hello everyone!
I am having an issue with the lack of current from this circuit and wondering if you have any suggestions. I built this booster circuit to power an amp that is rated from 40-50 volts DC. Using the the LM2586T- Adj put me right into the rang of 12 volts input with 48volts out. The issue, this circuit is only good for .8 amps of current. I need this circuit to hold at least 20amps. I though about using a set of pass transistors to hold the current but I am not sure if that work? I have built many step down regulators to hold as much as 200amps @ 12volts however this step up business seems backwards to me. Any help would great!!
thanks again!
Here is the diagram I am working with...
