Our customer needs a buck solution with the following spec?
Vin = 130V and Vo = 30V at 20-30A. Any suggestion?

David,
That seems like too much power (900W maximum output) for buck topology and the voltage range is not a good fit for the half-bridge gate driver IC's used in dc-dc applications. I would start with AC/DC solution and remove the input recitifer bridge and isolated feedback (opto-coupler). You might ask the question on an AC/DC forum where 130V could represent the rectified AC input.
The full-bridge topology is commonly used for power supplies in the 1KW range. TI offers controllers in the UCC and LM5K families for full bridge and phase shift full-bridge. The gate driver to the high side switches could be implemented with gate drive transformers to level shift the drive signal to 130V.
