SNVSCF0A October 2024 – December 2025 LM65680-Q1
ADVANCE INFORMATION
Table 8-5 shows the specifications for a 5V, 8A buck regulator with a switching frequency of 400kHz. In this example, the target half-load and full-load efficiencies are 92% and 90%, respectively, based on a nominal input voltage of 48V that ranges from 9V to 60V steady state, with short-term transients as low as 6.5V and as high as 70V.
| DESIGN PARAMETER | VALUE |
|---|---|
| Input voltage range (steady state) | 9V to 60V |
| Minimum transient input voltage (cold crank) | 6.5V |
| Maximum transient input voltage (load dump) | 65V |
| Input UVLO turn-on threshold | 5.9V |
| Output voltage | 5V |
| Output current | 0A to 8A |
| Switching frequency | 400kHz |
| Soft-start time | 5.3ms (default internal setting) |
| EMI mitigation | DRSS off, slew-rate control on |
| Ambient temperature range | –40°C to 85°C |
Resistor RRT of 40.2kΩ sets the free-running switching frequency at 400kHz, and an optional SYNC input signal allows adjustment of the switching frequency from 320kHz to 480kHz for this specific application. Leaving the SS pin open sets the soft-start time to the fixed internal setting of 5.3ms. In terms of control loop performance, the target loop crossover frequency is 60kHz with a phase margin greater than 50°.
Table 8-8 cites the selected buck regulator powertrain components, with many of the components available from multiple vendors. This design uses a low-DCR inductor with composite core material and an all-ceramic output capacitor implementation.
