Research on microrobot drive system based on PFM boost converter: In battery-powered mode, an improved current-limited PFM boost converter is used to provide drive voltage for the microrobot, which not only maintains the low static current of the traditional PFM, but also has high conversion efficiency. The key parameters of the PFM controller and the method of selecting external devices are given, and a complete digital-analog hybrid circuit system is designed to realize the drive control of the microrobot in the pipeline. Keywords: PFM microrobot drive system In recent years, due to the need for maintenance of small pipelines in the nuclear industry, power generation, chemical industry and other industries, the research on microrobots in pipelines has become a hot topic. The diameter of this pipeline is generally 20-30mm. For the microrobot in the pipeline with vertical climbing ability, the design requirements of its controller are that the voltage amplitude, frequency and duty cycle can be adjusted. The input voltage of the pipeline inner wall detection microrobot controller designed by the author is 5V, the output voltage is -70~+70V, the frequency is 1kHz, and the duty cycle is 25% (downhill) or 75% (climbing). The design requires the circuit to be as small as possible and the power consumption to be as low as possible, so that it can be integrated into a single chip using multi-chip packaging technology and directly loaded on the micro robot. According to the above requirements, the low-power PFM-based DC-DC boost chip, serial input DAC, 8-pin MCU and MOSFET driver chip from MAXIM are used to form a digital-analog hybrid circuit.
