Square waveform input Vin TL2575HV-05

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TL2575HV-05

Hi everybody,

I need to do this schematic for my board:

It's possible to have square waveform at my input Vin (0 to 24V). I have any others solutions for supplie my DC/DC regulator. So my question is : what is the reaction of the TL2575HV-05 if i have a low frequence ? Can it accepte a square waveform in input ? What's about time life ? What's the effect on the output ??

I didn't found any informations in the documentation

www.ti.com/.../tl2575hv-05-q1

Except this but there are no informations with this timing.

Thx for reading

Best Regards


Flavien.

  • Hello Flavien,

    I don't believe that there should be any damage to the device as the device will just be turning on and off, but I would not expect that the device would be regulating properly.

    The device requires a DC input to be able to regulate, so with a square wave the device will be regulating and then not regulating in rapid succession based on the duty cycle and frequency of the square wave.

    I would expect there to be a lot of noise on the output of the device because of this on/off cycling of the device.
    Are you using a PWM to vary the brighness of the LEDs and then trying to regulate from this voltage? If you have a source for a 24V PWM, do you not have a 24V DC supply to put on the input of the TL2575HV.

  • Hi Michael ! Think you very much for your best answer !!



    For your questions;

    "Are you using a PWM to vary the brighness of the LEDs and then trying to regulate from this voltage?"


    No. Befor my inputs there are switches bring the 24V, so it's like a waveform but I can't change switches.

    I use the DC/DC converter for supply LEDs and take less power that is I would use 24v supply. So if there are noise at the output, I don't think that will be a problem.


    Maybe I can improove the schematic with the On/Off input ??

    Thinks a lot again Michael.

  • Flavien,

    I don't believe the ON/OFF input will help you in this scenario.
    With an input square wave, I am concerned that the output may be varying widely in its output.
    The best case would be to have as close to a DC input to the device as possible, but without being able to do this, I would suggest setting this circuit up and testing it to see what the output voltage looks like.

    Best,

  • Michael,

    Thanks a lot for your answers, after reflection, the probalility to have a waveform in input will be low. So we can suppose that the supply will be DC because I have some LED always on.

    thx a lot again ! You are awsome.

    Flavien.
