This project enables the user to create a high current DC-DC converter. The project consists of a high current inductor, high current low voltage 2 x MOSFETs, half-bridge driver LT1158 chip, voltage feedback using onboard R9 and R10 resistor dividers, shunt resistor for overcurrent shut-down. The project has all the required components to create a high current step-down DC-DC converter, refer to the datasheet of LT1158 chip for components selection. The Half-bridge requires a PWM input signal, Arduino or another microcontroller/DSP can be used as a host to generate PWM signal and control enable and fault conditions.
Arduino Example Code helps users to test the board, the project provides output approx. 5V/4Amps from input Supply 22-24V DC.
Applications
- DC-DC Converter
- High Current Solar Charger
- SLA Battery Charger
Key Features
- High Current Low Voltage 2 x MOSFET IRF540 (the user may Use Other Low Ohm MOSFET)
- Half-Bridge Driver LT1158 Chip
- L1 High Current Inductor Default 100uH/7.8Amp
- R2 and R3 Resistor for Current Sense, For Over Current Limit/Short Circuit – Refer to Datasheet for R2, R3 Values.
- Fault: Open collector NPN output which turns on when V12 – V11 (Current Sense Pins) exceeds the fault conduction threshold.
- D3 LED for Output, D2 LED for Input Supply
- Voltage Feedback Output CN5, Resistor Divider R9, R10, C11
- Inputs and Fault Output CN2
- Operating Supply 12V to 30V DC (Input Supply Should Not Exceed 30V)
- PCB Dimensions 69.22 x 55.88 mm
Over Current Shutdown – Open collector, NPN output turns on when V12 – V11 (Current Sense Pins) exceeds the fault conduction threshold.
- For Internal Over Current Shutdown Use R7 and C8, Refer to Datasheet for Values
- For Host Controlled Shutdown Use Fault and Enable Pins
Voltage Feedback
- CN5, Feedback from Output using Resistor Divider R9 and R10, Use C11 for stability.
Connections: CN2
- Pin1 = VCC
- Pin2 = Enable – Pull Low to disable the Output
- Pin3= Fault Output – Goes Low when Over Current Condition Occurs
- Pin4= PWM Input 0 to 100Khz
- Pin5=GND
- Use R7 and C8 for Internal Over Current Shutdown, Refer to Datasheet of LT1158
Connections CN1
- Pin1 = VCC 12V to 30V Input
- Pin2 + GND
Connections CN3
- Pin1 = + Output
- Pin2= GND
CN4: Not Installed
Connections CN5
- Pin 1 = +Voltage Feedback Output
- Pin 2 = GND
