Hi TI Team,
In our design we are using LM2576S-ADJ/NOPB part, I am unable to get WEBENCH® Designer for LM2576S-ADJ/NOPB.
Can you please suggest Cout and inductor values ?
Input voltage range= 10V-28V
Input capacitor Cin= 2, 220uF @ 180mOhm input capacitors.
We are striving for 2 years of life at 70 ambient. With 2, 220uF capacitors and Vout 5V @1.3A DC load current results in a 0.78A ripple at 52kHz on the input capacitor...estimate.
Re-evaluate the inductor and output capacitors based on the new limitations ?
Hello,
Please refer to the following Webench design: https://webench.ti.com/appinfo/webench/scripts/SDP.cgi?ID=C63303FE9DF4B00C
I think, I have your parameters listed, but you can adjust as needed. Please set the device for 3A. I know you will not be using 3A, but when sizing the inductor, it is important to choose the inductance value based on the full load capability of the device for stability purposes even if you plan to use a lighter load.
Best regards,
Ridge
Hi Ridge,
Thank you for your support,
I am unable to open your link, please share once again

Hi Ridge,
Still, I am unable to open below link, can you please share schematic and BoM(Webench)

Hello,
The link will work if you copy the text into a web browser. I have attached the requested images.
Best regards,

Hi Ridge,
Please check below image regarding inductor and Cout values, is this fine ?
And also attached pdf file of LM2576 power design from WEBENCH, please review and let me know any changes required.
Hello,
The inductor value is a bit high. Generally, it is recommended to size the inductor for the full load of the device (3A), rather than the load you plan to operate at (1.3A) for better stability in a converter. However, if Webench is producing a stable design, then it should be OK. Please keep in mind that the inductor you choose in your application must have a saturation current rating of at least the maximum current limit rating of the LM2576 as listed in the Electrical Characteristics table in the datasheet. If the inductor saturates, the device will not be able to function properly.
Best regards,
Ridge
