Hello:
I have a few question on the LMZ35003 Power module. I am considering using this to replace a 78SR105SC Power Trends Switching Regulator
Module. The input voltage would be 7 to 48 VDC, Output to be 5VDC. I would like to run at 800 HZ, as the other module ran at around 650 to 700 Hz.
Current draw on the 5 VDC, would be around 175 mA. On the 78SR105 Module we had a Pi filter on input, and output sides of the module.
The recommend circuit on the application report SNVA698 Page 4 Figure 5 ,data sheet, for the LMZ35003 shows only a Pi filter on the output.
Would having a Pi filter on input be beneficial on lowering electrical noise? Is there any problems with drawing lower current amounts on the output 175 Ma
compared to 2.5 Amps the module is capable of providing?
My thought is to use the typical schematic, for 5 VDC output. (See Page 17 of the Data Sheet for LMZ35003, Figure 30) I would change the 31.6 K Ohm
resistor to 40.2K on the INH/UVLO so that the input voltage would be 6.5 VDC. I would change the RT/CLK from 1100K ,to get the 800 HZ Switching
Frequency. Which would be better for ripple. I would add the PI filter as shown on page 4, Figure of the Application Report SNVA698.
This is where my question is on the Pi filter, if it would be beneficial, to duplicate the PI filter on the output ,shown in figure 5, and also place it on the input
side of the LMZ35003 module?
Any thoughts on the addition of the PI filter, and increasing the switching Frequency, would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Max
