Overview

This reference design showcases a 1-A, 1.5-A peak, output current nonsynchronous SEPIC converter based on LM51561, which covers an input voltage range of 6 V to 36 V with an output voltage of 12 V. The efficiency reaches up to 90.5% at 12-V input voltage. The design can operate as low as 4.5 V to support automotive cranking. The 2-MHz switching frequency allows the use of a smaller inductor for a smaller circuit size.

Features
  • Converter can step up and down the input voltage
  • Cost-effective topology that uses only two semiconductor devices in the power stage
  • Due to continuous input, current SEPIC topology and high switching frequency of 2 MHz, low conducted emissions are achieved which is above AM broadcast band
  • The switching high frequency of 2 MHz enables a smaller physical form factor of the circuit
