8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
LMZ10503 is fully supported by WEBENCH and offers the following: component selection, performance, electrical, and thermal simulations as well as the Build-It board, for a reduced design time. On the other hand, all external components can be calculated by following the design procedure below.
- Determine the input voltage and output voltage. Also, make note of the ripple voltage and voltage transient requirements.
- Determine the necessary input and output capacitance.
- Calculate the feedback resistor divider.
- Select the optimized compensation component values.
- Estimate the power dissipation and board thermal requirements.
- Follow the PCB design guideline.
- Learn about the LMZ10503 features such as enable, input UVLO, soft start, tracking, prebiased start-up, current limit, and thermal shutdown.
