LM5118: schematic review

Part Number: LM5118

Dear experts,

My customer is using LM5118, Vin is 9-70V,Vout=12V,Iout=5A. Please help to share your suggestions about their design, thanks for your support.

  • 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
