LM5145: 12V Vin to 0.85Vout/35A

Part Number: LM5145
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LM5143-Q1

Hi team

Could you help check if LM5145 is a good option for the 12V to 0.85V/35A application?

WEBENCH shows its maximum load current is only 20A, and the product folder shows its maximum load current is 30A, and both are smaller than the 35A requirements

  • Hi Shawn,

    You can consider LM5143-Q1 in dual-phase (interleaved) mode.

    We don't recommend larger than ~20 or 25A per phase, the I^2*R power losses increase power dissipation and thermals at high currents.

    I wouldn't recommend LM5145 as it is only a single phase controller, it is possible but could have lower efficiency and higher temperatures.

    Hope this helps,

    -Orlando
