WEBENCH® Tools/LM5155: Timeline for LM5155 SEPIC design possibility with Webench power designer?

Part Number: LM5155
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LM3478, LM3488,

Tool/software: WEBENCH® Design Tools

Hello,

instead of using LM3478 or LM3488 for a SEPIC DC/DC design, the use of LM5155 is recommended in a lot of posts. Is there a plan when this LM5155 SEPIC design will be available in Webench power designer?

Best regards

Ronald F.

  • Hi Ronald

    Thanks for reaching out with your question and for considering the LM5155 in your design.

    The LM5155 WEBENCH is planned but doesn't have a release date yet. In the mean time I suggest taking  a look at this application note. It will help to select the values for the power train components. I can help with any questions that you might have during the design process.

    Thanks,

    Garrett Roecker

  • Hi Garret,

    thank you for the quick response and for your offer for help!

    I used WEBENCH as selection tool for the DCDC, as the LM5155 SEPIC is not included I missed it. :o(

    The prototype design is based on LM3478, I will test also LM3488 (to avoid the Overvoltage protection problems around 7.2V). I'll see how well it goes.

    Best regards

    Ronald
