TEST REPORT

Four-Switch Buck-Boost Reference Design > 300 W

Description

The circuit is an automotive four-switch buck-boost converter circuit using the LM5176-Q1 controller IC, so the power supply is able to step up and step down the input voltage.

The circuit accepts an input voltage of 4.5 V to 27 V and provides a regulated output of 12 V that can deliver up to 30 A, depending on cranking level, cranking time, thermal interface, and maximum ambient temperature.

The purpose of this is design is to squeeze a single power stage to maximum output current.

Features

  • Automotive 12-V bus converter is suitable for up to 30-A+ load current
  • Cranking as low as 4.5-V input voltage is possible
  • Efficiency remains flat and high between 4-A load to 30-A load 98%+
  • Input filter to attenuate reflected ripple less than 20 mVpp
  • Extended thermal information regarding various operating points

Applications

  • ADAS domain controller
