Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LM5117, TPS274160
We are developing a supply based around the LM5117, in constant current mode
Input voltage range 24V-28V. Output current 0-9A and maximum output voltage of 21V.
The output needs to be switched via high side switches to loads. (only one active at a time)
Prefferably with n-channel fets,for lower rsdson and we can use the same fets as used for the switcher.
for this I need a supply above vout, output current can be very low.
Can I use the bootstrap from the LM5117 for this? By adding a diode from the HB pin to a small capacitor, and thus create a voltage rail of: Vin + VCC - (2 x diode drop)
