Industrial grade Buck Converter

Hello,

Can someone please help understand how to choose components to be used in an Industrial environment. While choosing for buck converters from the parametric tables, automotive qualified, military grade and enhanced products are clearly identified, but nothing specific for Industrial grade.

Regards,

Tapajit

    You can choose 'catalog' in the parametric search.  Did you have specific power specs you needed to meet?

    Well, my client posed me a question, will our application work in an environment where there are heavy machinery driven by high kV electrical motors. Thats why i am trying to find ICs specifically meant to be used in an industrial environment with some kind of ESD or EMI protection.

    Can you help me with some application note or some preliminary data with which I can identify specific measures to be taken to protect semiconductors operating in an Industrial environment with likely high temperatures and high EM noise ?

    I have selected IC with rated operating temperature range of -40 to 105C as a preliminary measure to ensure it works in high ambient temperature conditions.

    All of our devices have integrated ESD protection.  These thresholds are listed in each D/S.  As well, most ICs have a thermal shutdown circuit in case things get really out of hand.

    But what ambient temperature spec does your customer need to meet?  As well, what are your power needs for this device?  If the FETs are internal or external will make a big difference in the power dissipation and thermal concerns.

    I'm not aware of a specific list of devices that are recommended for use in a high EMI or high temperature application, as these terms are not quantifiable.  We make evaluation modules for almost all of our devices that you can test in your specific environment.

    Just post your power requirements here and we can get the right apps engineer to discuss their products.
