Tool/software:
I have a question about using the LMR43610-Q1 and the WEBENCH Power Designer.
My goal is to create a 3.3V/1A output, but the most available part for me is the LMR43610MSC5RPERQ1 (the 5V fixed version). I plan to use it in its adjustable mode.
My question is about the WEBENCH tool's behavior: when I enter this specific ...MSC5...
part number, it locks the output to 5V. Could you please explain why the tool does this? Can I safely ignore this software behavior, given the datasheet confirms the chip is adjustable?
As a potential workaround, I was wondering if this approach is valid:
- Generate a 3.3V design in WEBENCH for the LMR43610MSC3RPERQ1 (the 3.3V version).
- Take the recommended values for all the main power stage components (inductor, input/output capacitors, etc.).
- Use these exact components in my own schematic with the
...MSC5...
IC,
