Description

This reference design is a 700-W buck converter using the LM5143A-Q1 device. Due to lowest dead times, ultra-strong drivers, and the ability to adjust the rising edge and falling edge individually, the resulting efficiency is 98%.

Due to the reduced loss, the board area is also greatly reduced, now 150 mm × 125 mm, with a low profile of 12 mm or 15 mm, depending on the inductor selected.

Ample headroom for increased output power is available by using forced cooling or a heat sink mounted to a chassis. Using additional cooling options, the output current can be increased to 60-A continuous and higher.

The interleaved operation results in low root mean square (RMS) stress at the input capacitor and reduced ripple at the input and the output. A generic two stage EMI input filter is provided.
