4.1 IC Select

To operate as a Fly-Buck™ converter, an IC that offers Forced Pulse Width Modulation (FPWM) must be selected to make sure that the part can handle negative inductor current. In this case, the LMR38020FADDA is selected, Which is a 80 V, 2 A synchronous buck converter operating by peak current mode control.
