LM5116: Abnormal high temperature under load 1A

Part Number: LM5116

Tool/software:

Severe heating at 48V-12V,Switching frequency 246k Modify R67 to 100k Ω to reduce heat generation, Change R46 to 0 Ω, reduce heat generation, load 1A, temperature still above 60℃

  • Hello Sam

    Since you are using MOSFETs with high gate charge, you should expect higher IC temperature (~ 45°C if ambient temperature is 25°C) than typical design.  

    Also, looks like the inductor is heating up the IC, increasing the ambient temperature of the IC now. Please replace the inductor with higher efficiency inductor (MSS1583-103ME) , connect the SW terminal of the inductor directly on the board, but connect the VOUT terminal of the inductor using (~ 5cm) jumper wire and check if any improvement.
