Si3500
50 V INPUT DC TO DC CONVERTER
Features
Applications
Description
The Si3500 is a highly-integrated, high-voltage (42 to 57 V) input dc-to-dc
converter with integrated PWM control and power FET. The output can be
adjusted for various applications in the range of 1.8 to 12 VDC.
The integrated hot swap switch provides a 2-level current limit for slow
charging of the input filter capacitor followed by overcurrent protection at
400 mA.
The hot swap switch overcurrent protection fully protects the Si3500 from
short-circuit damage as long as the inductor does not saturate. For
situations where it is desirable to use a smaller inductor, it is possible to
reduce the overcurrent protection with the addition of one low-cost
transistor.
The Si3500 can be configured to provide an isolated output voltage or a
non-isolated output that is positive or negative with respect to the positive
input rail.
Input undervoltage and overvoltage lockout functions are fully-integrated.
A 65 V input clamp is also integrated. Output voltage softstart is enabled
by just one capacitor to control the output rise time at startup.
