8.2.1.1 Design Requirements

Table 8-2 shows the intended input, output, and performance parameters for this automotive circuit example.

Table 8-2 Design Parameters
DESIGN PARAMETER VALUE
Input voltage range (steady state) 6.5V to 36V, nominal 13.5V
Minimum transient input voltage (cold crank) 4.5V
Maximum transient input voltage (load dump) 36V
Output voltages 5V, 3.3V
Output currents (EDC)(1) 20A
Output currents (TDC)(1) 15A
Switching frequency 440kHz
Target efficiency at 5V, 15A 96%
Target efficiency at 3.3V, 15A 94.5%
Output voltage regulation ±1%
Loop crossover frequency 60kHz
Phase margin > 45°
No-load sleep current, channel 2 disabled < 20µA
Shutdown current 4µA
(1) EDC and TDC refer to electrical and thermal design currents, respectively.

Resistor RRT sets the switching frequency at 440kHz. In terms of control loop performance, the target loop crossover frequency is set in the range of 10% to 15% of switching frequency – 60kHz in this example – with a target phase margin greater than 45°. Connecting a resistance of 20kΩ at RSS sets the output voltage soft-start times to 4.6ms.

Table 8-3 cites the selected buck regulator powertrain components, with many of the components available from multiple vendors. Section 8.1.1.1 describes selection of power MOSFETs for lowest conduction and switching power loss. This application circuit uses 40V logic-level MOSFETs, metal-alloy buck inductors with low DCR, low-ESL shunts, and ceramic input and output capacitors – all AEC qualified.
