Reference Designs
10-A automotive pre-regulator reference design with extended input voltage range for trucks
Texas Instruments
This reference design is a 50-W synchronous buck converter to supply automotive loads. The IC is LM5146-Q1 in fixed frequency operation at 250 kHz to ensure low noise operation. This IC (LM5146-Q1) is designed for automotive with the ability to handle load dump for truck applications. A resistor-capacitor (RC) snubber attenuates noise in the RF band to reduce radiated emissions. To reduce system EMI: the design is prepared to either synchronize other converters (output) or be externally synchronized (input).
Features
- Power stage withstands surge voltages up to 75 VpkEfficiency higher than 93% over a output current range of 3 A to 10 A (at 14 V input voltage)Tight load regulation results in a low deviation (3 mV) of the output voltage over the whole range of the input voltageInput filter for minimizing conducted emissions is included
