Hi Minqui
Thanks for reaching out with your questions and for using the LM5118.
Please see my comments below about the schematic.
1. Current Sense Resistor (R508)
- Current Sense should be 11mOhm to allow for the full 5A output at the minimum input voltage
- The Ramp capacitor (C512) should be 420pF with the current sense resistor change
- The peak inductor current limit will be ~20A.The inductor should have a saturation current rating higher than this value.
2. MOSFET selection
- 80V or 100V MOSFETs should be used as the maximum input voltage is 70V. 75V MOSFETs don't provide a lot of margin.
Please feel free to reach out to me directly if you have anymore questions.
Thanks,
Garrett
