Hi,
I have LM5175EVM-HP demo board. It has 12V @ 10A output and 6-36V input.
I'm trying to evaluate whether is it possible to use this controller for the following scenario:
- Input 2-4V
- Output 2-4V (output voltage is adjustable)
- Input or Output is limited to 50A, whichever is lower
Some of the changes that I tried to make to LM5175EVM-HP demo board:
- change output mosfets to PSMN1R1-25YLC,115
- changed (average current limiting shunt ) R1 to 1mOhm
- changed (cycle by cycle limiting shunt ) R7 to 1mOhm
- changed inductor to PQ2613-1R0-80-G (1uH, 110A sat).
- added power to Vbias pin to make IC run at lower input voltages
- connected EN pin to Vbias to it to make IC run at lower input voltages
- changed FB voltage divider for lower output voltage
Could someone help me helping to make this controller operate in specified range.
I was able to run it in buck mode up-to 50A output. But when it operates in boost or buck-boost, I couldn't get more than 3-10Amps, depending on in/out voltages.
Thanks
