This reference design utilizes two LM5148-Q1 single-phase synchronous buck controllers configured as a dual-phase, interleaved, synchronous buck converter. The converter generates a regulated 5V output capable of delivering a nominal 30A of current to the load, with a peak current capability of 60A, accepting an input voltage of between 24Vin to 60Vin (48Vin nominal). The design is built on a 6-layer PCB with 2-oz Copper for each of the six layers. The evaluation board measures 5.2” x 3.4” (132.08 mm x 86.36 mm), however the actual converter solution size measures approximately 55mm x 53mm. This board is optimized for high efficiency across the entire load current range, which is achieved by configuring the converter to run in Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM) mode at light loads.
