8.2.2 Design 2 – Automotive Synchronous 4A Buck Regulator at 2.1MHz

Figure 8-2 shows the schematic diagram of a synchronous buck regulator with an output voltage set at 5V and a rated load current of 4A. In this example, the target half-load and full-load efficiencies are 94.25% and 94%, respectively, based on a nominal input voltage of 13.5V that ranges from 5V to 36V. The switching frequency is set at 2.1MHz with resistor RRT of 6.04kΩ. The BIAS input is connected to the 5V output, thus reducing IC bias power dissipation and improving efficiency performance.

Note: This application example is provided herein to showcase the LM63440-Q1 buck converter in several different implementation scenarios. Depending on the source impedance of the input supply bus, an electrolytic capacitor can be required at the input for stability, particularly at low input voltage and high output current operating conditions. See the Power Supply Recommendations for more detail.
