LM5008AEVAL: why the input voltage can't exceed 75V?

Part Number: LM5008AEVAL

Hi,

in the EVM, we emphasize not to exceed 75V for input voltage, but I can't find what limit the voltage level?

My customer would like to test with input voltage from 10V to 85V.

    Hi,

    The current limit function limits the maximum input voltage, you can find a detailed info on 7.3.6 of its datasheet. If you want to apply a higher Vin, at least you should change R2 to a higher value or lower frequency by changing R1.

    Iven,

    I've calculated the on time and off time by the procedure below:

    in datasheet 7.3.5 equation 4.

    when input voltage =90V,

    Ton=0.43us.

    Since output=5V, duty cycle D=5/90. When operating in a steady state, the off time Toff= 0.43/D-0.43=7.31us.

    Toff determined by the current limit is determined by 7.3.6 equation (5).

    Toff(current limit)= 11.97us. which is longer than Toff above.

    So I should be okay to operate with input voltage =90V with the original parameters, right?

    Hi,

    Please check the section 6 on the EVM users' guide, there are some tolerance and detection time consideration when designing the EVM. Thanks.
