24V input, 12V output, current=50A or higher

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LM5119

hi ,

  I need a power management for our new design, the requirement is below,

1.input 24V

2. ouput 12V

3. output current = 50A or higher

could you recommend?

  • Hello Dengshan,

    Could you please provide a bit more details on the application:  where is this used (automotive, industrial, computing, etc), acceptable switching frequency, Vin range, do you need input/output isolation, sensitive to efficiency, etc.  When I have more details I can make a better recommendation.

    Also, have you tried TI's Webench designer?  It can provide a lot of assistance when starting a new design:  recommend IC and even provide schematic.  Link to Webench is below.

  • hi Eric,

    it's used to medical product, we'll design a TEC module with your controller DRV8432, 12V output power for VDD,GVDD,PVDD of DRV8432, but the TEC has high current up to 13.9Amps, and we'll use 4 xTEC, so we need a solution for 24V input/12V ouput with 50Amps or higher,  by the way, the TEC model is XLT2418, see picture below.

  • I see.

    First, do you need isolation from 24V to 12V?  This will drive topology.

    Second, what are the tolerances on both 24V input and 12V output?

    Third, do you have a target switching frequency?

    Thanks,

    Eric

    -------isolation is not necessary to me,I don't care about this.

    Second, what are the tolerances on both 24V input and 12V output?

    ------ 24V±5%,12V±5%

    Third, do you have a target switching frequency?

    ------ no, I haven't, I just care about the 12V output and current.

  • Hello and thank you for the information.

    I believe a 2-phase buck regulator will suit your needs very well.  As a matter of fact, we have a reference design that is very close to what you need.  This design has been fully assembled, tested, and documented.  It is based on the LM5119.

    This design is 24Vin, 14.4Vout, at 60A.  You can easily change Vout from 14.4V to 12V by changing the resistor divider network (R39, R40, R42).
