100V, 1A Step-Down DC-DC for Industrial and Automotive
Texas Instruments (TI) introduced a wide-input-voltage (VIN) synchronous dc-dc buck converter with a combination of light load efficiency, ease of design, and overall power solution cost. The 100V, 1A LM5164 step-down voltage converter shrinks board space in rugged battery-powered industrial and automotive power supplies.
TI says that when used in conjunction with the company's WEBENCH® Power Designer, this new step-down dc-dc converter can enable simpler, faster power conversion design. The integrated, wide-VIN dc-dc buck regulator extends battery life in rugged industrial and automotive applications
TI will demonstrate the LM5164 buck converter (see image above) along with the LM5180 primary-side regulated flyback converter in booth No. 511 at the Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC) in Anaheim, California, March 18-20, 2019.
The LM5164 is an easy-to-use, ultra-low quiescent current (IQ) synchronous step-down buck regulator that features a constant on-time (COT) control architecture and integrates high- and low-side power MOSFETs. The highly efficient buck converter operates from a wide input voltage of 6V to 100V and delivers up to a 1A dc load current.
The COT architecture requires no external compensation, while an internal VCC bias supply and bootstrap diode eliminates an additional capacitor.
Designers can achieve longer lasting 13S, 48V lithium-ion battery packs for e-bikes and e-scooters with the 13S, 48V li-ion battery pack reference design.
The automotive-grade LM5164-Q1 is also available.
The LM5164 and LM5164-Q1 join TI's portfolio of highly integrated, wide VIN dc-dc converters that enable designers to maximize power delivery in the smallest package possible.
Key features and benefits of the LM5164
The new device's thermally efficient, small-outline integrated circuit (SOIC) PowerPAD™ package measures 5mm by 6mm, which TI says is 30 percent smaller than competitive offerings. Designers can use the LM5164 to create a complete power-supply design in 105mm2, which is more than 10 percent smaller than the competition.
The LM5164 offers 10µA typical standby quiescent current. This low standby quiescent current enables 10% better light load efficiency for 24V to 5V conversions with a 1mA load and extends battery life compared to competitive solutions.
According to TI, a standard 8-pin SOIC package with few external components and WEBENCH® Power Designer, simplify design and reduce cost.
