LM5169:regulator problem

Jarim Kim
Prodigy 10 points
Part Number: LM5169

Tool/software:

hi.

It's a circuit using 48V to 12V using LM5169, but I keep getting the problem of dying.

The 48V is buried with the motor power end and has 5 10uF bypass caps.

The 12V output terminal is in use for internal power supply of the STEP DOWN board.

I'd like to get some help regarding the above.

    Hello Jarim,

    Is the motor at the output?    Are you sure you don't have excessive voltage back feeding to input - when motor stalls are breaks?  Thanks.

    If so, please a blocking diode between VOUT and Load.

    If this is not the case, please provide me with your specification and fill out calculator spreadsheet so I can review specification and check design against it.  Thanks.

    David.

    Hello, David
    The 48V input terminal is buried in the battery and has a maximum of 70V specification, so it won't be a problem because the regulator input spec (120V) is.

    Then, are you saying to add a diode to the VOUT stage 12V output stage?

    If that's right, we'll add it and test it.

    Thank you.

    Hello Jarin,

    I am asking about your load.  Is it a motor, i.e. high inductance, if current is abruptly stopped, you will experience a voltage across the load that cause current to conduct in the reverse direction from NOUT to VIN.  If this is the case a diode will help.

    Thank you for your answer.

    The load is the motor.
    If you apply a 48V input terminal diode, do you mean that it's serial?

    For diodes, do you use it with a 0.7V voltage drop in mind?

    Or do you connect it in a pull-down manner so that only the peak current is consumed in parallel?

    The big goal of the product is miniaturization, so it may be difficult to apply diodes that consume a lot of current due to their large product size.

    Thank you.

    Hello Jarim,

    please use a low forward voltage drop diode - Schottky.  let's check that we can prevent failure first, then decide how we are going to fit it in.  thanks.
