PRODUCTION DATA
Figure 8-8 shows the schematic diagram of a single-output synchronous buck regulator with the output voltage of 5V and a rated load current of 8A. In this example, the target half-load and full-load efficiencies are 89.9% and 90.5%, respectively, based on a nominal input voltage of 48V that ranges from 8V to 60V. The switching frequency is set at 400kHz by resistor RRT. An output voltage of 3.3V is also feasible simply by connecting FB to VDDA.
This and subsequent design examples are provided herein to showcase the LM70880-Q1 converter in several different applications. Depending on the source impedance of the input supply bus, an electrolytic capacitor can be required at the input to make sure of stability, particularly at low input voltage and high output current operating conditions. See Section 8.3 for more detail.
