I am designing a space constricted projected powered by a Li-Poly battery. In order to cover a moon shaped surface with LEDs, I use many 30x10mm COB LEDs @ 12V. These LEDs are way stronger that what I need though. I am going to control them with an arduino compatible microcontroller + power mosfet at a PWM of maybe....25% duty cycle.
Now, the boost converter module has an output current capability of about 50% of what the LEDs need in full operation. I guess that will pose problems, right? Can this be solved by using a capacitor in parallel with the boost's output and before the PWM mosfet, so that during pwm off tyhe capacitor gets charged, and during pwm on it assists the power module?
