Part Number:LM61460-Q1Other Parts Discussed in Thread:LM61460
Hello Expert
Please support to check below design and give your comments.
Input voltage range: 9-16V
Output voltage range:2-8V, current configure:5V
Output current: max. 5A
fsw=400KHz
Output voltage ripple: 3%
load transient range: 5A to 0.5A
Transient response voltage change: 5%

Q1: consider the cost saving, i choose one Electrolytic capacitor 100uF, esr=35mR, ripple current=1.7A, with 1*10uF and 1*4.7uF, can you check it's OK or not->especially for 100uF EC?
Q2: choose one 10uF with 2*220nF at input pin, it's OK or not?
Q3: Customer want to adjust the output voltage, do you have good solution for current BUCK LM61460?
ping Wu:
Add note: this buck is used for control external LED, then need to consider the short circuit to power supply and GND testing. also iso7637-3a/3b/ESD

Please see my comments and questions:
You said:
Output voltage range:2-8V, current configure:5V
How are they planning to implement this:
1. Will a design have a fixed output voltage (between 2 and 8V) or do they need adjustable output voltage?

Schematic Review:
1. Ensure the voltage ratings of the input capacitors are appropriate. (Rated Voltage > Abs max voltage on the input rail – thumb rule is to use atleast 50V rated caps for 12V automotive systems).
2. Ensure CVcc and CBoot are high quality ceramic caps (Eg: X7R) for good thermal stability. Ensure proper voltage rating.
3. Inductor – Ensure the Saturation current and DC Current rating of the Inductor > ~6.3A (for a 5A design).
4. The output capacitor values seem okay. However, since this is an adjustable output implementation – I would recommend:
a. Have a provision for feedforward cap and resistor.
b. Check the load transient and bode plot at all output voltages to ensure proper operation across different operating conditions.

Look at this app note: https://www.ti.com/lit/an/slyt777/slyt777.pdf

These are system level tests and not device specific. You will have to implement external protection if you see the device abs max ratings getting violated.

WP: need adjustable output voltage. current we choose LM61460 is adjustable output, and also we want to use external DAC/PWM to configure the output voltage via SW.

Got it!
Please refer to the design resources and the comments I shared in my previous reply.

I want to double confirm with you:
1) Input capacitor use 1*10uF and 2*220nF
2) Output capacitor use 1*100uF Electrolytic Capacitor and 1*10uF and 1*4.7uF.
3) FB consider add CFF=22pF and RFF=1K and
4) inductor use 6.8uH, Saturation current is 9A

Vivian Gao:

Looks good! Ensure the correct voltage rating as I had mentioned.
2) Output capacitor use 1*100uF Electrolytic Capacitor and 1*10uF and 1*4.7uF.
Again – looks good – however, since this is an adjustable output – check the performance on the board (especially at the max and min Vout).
3) FB consider add CFF=22pF and RFF=1K and
Keep provision for these on your board. If your loop response is good enough without these – you can keep these DNP. Otherwise, you can check the performance with the Cff and Rff.
4) inductor use 6.8uH, Saturation current is 9A
