Hi,
I want to find a bidirectional DC-DC converter with following requirements:
1: normal operation: 24V/15V to 5V/3.3V buck converter.
2: Sink current from output point: 5V/3.3V to 24V/15V. Max sink current is 1A.
For example: IO protection
Due to the high speed IO >50MHz, series current limit resistor is not feasible. The fixture is connected to an unknown external DUT. The overvoltage and overcurrent is 100V and 100mA.
Thus, we consider to clamp the voltage by the external current limit of 100mA.
But this concept required a stable 5V and 3.3V power supply.
The supplies should be able to sink the current from the DUT. The worst case is 10 IOs are used at the same time, therefore a maximum sink current is 1A.
The load of the supplies is not enough to sink this current.
Do you have such a power supply that can be bidirectional to sink this current and match the above requirements?
