I have a solar tracking application requiring 12-24VDC power output direct from a 48V photo-voltaic array for running DC brushed motors (5-10A), 250W max.
The 100V rating of the LM5116 seems fine for up to ~48V solar PV systems, and with the right external MOSFETs it should be able to handle the motor current (if the inductor can keep up).
I was wondering if there were any issues I should be aware of for this application, or if perhaps someone knows how to save me from reinventing a wheel...
Right now I'm leaning towards trying an experimental pcb and see if the LM5116 will work paired with the HC2LP-6R0 inductor suggesting on the eval board BOM. Haven't tried to pick the N-channel MOSFETs. Suggestions appreciated.
Cheers,
Mark
