14.4V~137.5V to 12V isolated power solution

Hello expert,

May I know if we have solution could support customer's requirement as below? Thanks a lot!!

  1. surge stopper to clamp 137.5V to 154V within 1s.
  2. 14.4V~137.5V to 12V buck controller.
  3. 12V to 12V isolated controller.
  4. output power are 60W/90W/120W/150W/180W.

If TI has better suggestion to meet 14.4V~154V to 12V isolated solution is also welcomed.

Best regards,

Ann Lien

  • Ann,

    Thanks for the inquiry here!  I hope you are well. 

    Are all of these power levels 60W/90W/120W/150W/180W with the 14.4V-137.5Vin to isolated 12Vout? Or are those power levels for 12Vin to 12Vout? If they are for 14.4V-137.4Vin, what is the power level for 12Vin to 12Vout?

    Can you share the application this will be used in? That can help narrow down to the right control solution.

    Regards,

  • Hello John,

    They can accept two stage --> 14.4V-137.5Vin to 12V and 12V to 12Vout isolated. Or just one stage should be okay. And output power means 12V, 60W/90W/120W/150W/180W with isolated. This team is industrial PC and they want to build their own DC-DC isolated power standard board. Thanks a lot!

  • Hi,

    There is no exact match. A similar is like this PMP9256

    Your output power is 3 x difference. So you may need three different designs, one for 60W and 90W, one for 120W and 150W, and one for 180W.

    Your input voltage range is very wide about 11 to 1 (14.4V to 154V), which is very challenge to make a design.

    There is no good solution for this. You need to make substantial R&D to find out if it is a feasible idea.

    Alternatively, if you can add a stage at front as buck-boost to narrow down your input voltage to DC-DC, then it becomes feasible. But the resulted efficiency becomes lower and cost becomes higher.

    In short, please re-examine your idea, and if it is really what you need. 

  • Hello John,

    Thanks for your detail reply. I will consult customer for the input spec and give back to you. Thanks a lot!
