高輸入電壓下變頻器的高頻切換

　　In an effort to reduce the size of the output capacitor and inductor to save printed-circuit board （PCB） space， more and more high-input-voltageDC/DC converters are being operated at higher switching frequencies. However， as the output voltage drops to 5 V and lower， designing faster switching high-input-voltage step-down DC/DC converters is becoming difficult for several reasons. Key among them is lower duty cycle.

　　因此，頻率超過(guò)1 MHz的轉(zhuǎn)換器對(duì)電源系統(tǒng)的影響不僅僅局限于它的尺寸和效率。因此，在設(shè)計(jì)高輸入電壓和低輸出電壓的高開(kāi)關(guān)頻率的DC/DC轉(zhuǎn)換器時(shí)，存在著權(quán)衡取舍。本文探討了一些設(shè)計(jì)實(shí)例，證明了在高頻率下切換高輸入電壓降壓型DC/DC轉(zhuǎn)換器的優(yōu)點(diǎn)和缺點(diǎn)。

　　為了解釋這些權(quán)衡，德克薩斯儀器工程師們建造了三個(gè)獨(dú)立的電源，分別在開(kāi)關(guān)頻率為100， 300和750千赫時(shí)運(yùn)行。在設(shè)計(jì)高頻應(yīng)用筆記”描述的挑戰(zhàn)，高輸入電壓的直流/直流轉(zhuǎn)換器”，1所有三直流/直流轉(zhuǎn)換器設(shè)計(jì)的輸入電壓為48 V，而輸出電壓為5 V 1 A根據(jù)設(shè)計(jì)者的一個(gè)輸出電流，這樣的降壓轉(zhuǎn)換器通常用于供電5 V邏輯USB或作為中間總線轉(zhuǎn)換器來(lái)驅(qū)動(dòng)負(fù)載點(diǎn)（POL）在電路板上穩(wěn)壓器。

　　Before building the supplies， the engineers established a few design constraints. For instance， the acceptable ripple voltage was set to 1 percent of the output voltage， which in this case amounted to 50 mV. In addition， peak-to-peak inductor current selected was 0.5 A. Each design， which was based on the circuit in Figure 1， incorporates TI’s TPS54160， a 2.5 MHz， 60 V， 1.5 A step-down DC/DC converter with an integrated MOSFET.
