Part Number:LM5116
Hello, TI's expert:
I am using LM5116MHX to make an 18-60v input and three-way output BUCK power supply.The output parameters are 5V 4A, 12V 3A, 12V 3A.Under different input voltages, the functions of output overcurrent protection and short circuit protection were tested. It was found that under certain input voltages, the output current during short circuit could only be limited to the set overcurrent point without burping protection. The BUCK inductance would have saturation risk.The minimum pin voltage of LM5116MHX UVLO was measured with an oscilloscope and the minimum value was found to be greater than 200mV. It was suspected that there was something wrong with the RAMP compensation circuit. As described in page 16-17 of the data table, the RAMP capacitance was adjusted by using WEBENCH POWER DESIGNER and a resistance was added between VCC and RAMP to increase RAMP compensation.The following figure shows the UVLO and output current waveforms I measured at different input voltages.Attached are the schematic diagram and PCB. Could you help me analyze this problem in detail?Looking forward to your early reply, thank you very much!
