Automotive EMI and thermally optimized synchronous buck converter reference design

PMP21795

Design files

Overview

This reference design is an EMI and thermally optimized synchronous buck converter for automotive applications. The circuit is powered from the nominal 12-V battery to provide an output voltage of 3.3 V at 8 A. The design uses a synchronous buck controller operating at a switching frequency of 440 kHz. Forced pulse width modulation or diode emulation mode is jumper selectable. Frequency dithering is used to improve the EMI performance.

Features
  • EMI and thermally optimized for improved system performance
  • 440 kHz switching frequency, which is below the AM band
  • Jumper selectable diode emulation or forced PWM
  • Selectable frequency dithering improves EMI performance
  • Compact power stage and controller layout for small solution size
