8.2.1 Design 1 – Dual 5V and 3.3V, 20A Buck Regulator for 12V Automotive Battery Applications

Figure 8-4 shows the schematic diagram of a dual-output synchronous buck regulator with output voltage setpoints of 5V and 3.3V and a rated load current of 20A for each output. In this example, the target half-load and full-load efficiencies are 96% and 94%, respectively, based on a nominal input voltage of 13.5V that ranges from 6.5V to 36V. The switching frequency is set at 440kHz by resistor RRT. The 5V output provides bias power to reduce IC power dissipation and improve efficiency.

Note:

This and subsequent circuit examples are provided herein to showcase the LM5137-Q1 controller in several different applications. Depending on the source impedance of the input supply, connect an input electrolytic capacitor to make sure of stability, particularly at low input voltage and high power operating conditions. See Section 8.3 for more detail.
