LM25117: How to reduce MOS temperature?

Part Number: LM25117
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LM5117, CSD18504Q5A

Hi

Simulation of LM25117 on WEBENCH.          

Input 4.5V~36V, output 3.65V/8A.           

MOSFET M2 has a high temperature (Tj greater than 100 degrees C).            

Is there a recommended MOS model to reduce the temperature?           

In addition, LM25117 on WEBENCH     

Set the input voltage to 4.5V~24V and output 3.65V/8A.           

Why can't it be simulated?

Thank you.

Jerry

  • Hi Jerry,

    You can use the LM5117 quickstart file available by download from the product folder.

    If possible, please send the WEBENCH schematic for review so we can review choice of low-side MOSFET. My recommendation is a 40V NexFET such as CSD18504Q5A.
