LM5145: differences between "LM5145DESIGN-CALC" and "LM5145 Inverting Buck-Boost Quickstart Calculator"

Hi,

On the LM5145 product page both tools are listed. The Excel sheet looks similar, same input boxes. But when filling the sheets with the same requirements and values, I get large differences in resulting required input- and outputs-capacitors, permitted ESR, output capacitor ripple current and efficiency. 

What is the difference between both tools?

And why does the LM5145 product page list both tools, but the LM5145-Q1 page only the first tool?

Thanks,
  Robert

    Hi Robert,

    These files are for buck and inverting buck-boost (IBB) topologies, which have different calcualtion for the power-stage components and control loop (bode plot). I will have the IBB file linked to the LM5145-Q1 product folder. Note we also have the LM25145 and LM5146/-Q1 in this family.

    Regards,

    Tim
