UCC28C42: IS it good solution for 240W DC-DC?

Part Number: UCC28C42
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LM5036

Hi,

We are looking for a DC-DC solution. Is it(UCC28C42) good to use for 240W DC-DC?

Requirement:

Vin : 40~160VDC

Vout: 24VDC

Iout: 10A

Best Regards,

Aaron

  • Hi,

    I suggest to use LM5036 (half-bridge). UCC28C42 is a single ended controller and 240W is a bit high for single ended controller. But 240W is really in a blur area where a single-ended controller may still be ok although its power is a bit too high which asks a bigger transformer and parallel MOSFETs and lower frequency. 

  • Hi

    We try WEBENCH® Designer LM5036. The max voltage must less than 100V. 

    Do you have any recommand?

  • Hi,

    You need to add external MOSFET drivers. Also not using the on chip high voltage startup.

    Alternatively, you can use push-pull topology, LM5036 is ok for push-pull, and in this case, the on-chip MOSFET drivers can be used. But for high voltage startup you still need to use external circuit (similar to UCC28C42 when you consider startup).

    On push-pull, you may also consider UCC2808A but its MOSFET driver capability is 0.5A/1A for source and sink. You need to calculate to see if ok.
