8.7 Power Supply Recommendations

The LM5171-Q1-based converter is designed to operate with two differential voltage rails like the 48V and 12V dual battery system, or a storage system having a battery on one end and the Super-Cap on the other end. When operating with bench power supplies, each supply needs to be capable of sourcing and sinking the maximum operating current. Parallel an Electronic load (E-Load) with the bench power supply (PS) to emulate the batteries, as shown in Figure 8-37.
