This powerful buck converter can efficiently produce 5 V@4A with an input voltage between 7V to 31V. The project is built using the NR110E chip from Sanken Semiconductor. The IC integrates the power MOSFET. With current mode control, ultra-low ESR capacitors, such as ceramic capacitors are used. The ICs have protection functions such as Overcurrent Protection (OCP), Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO), and Thermal Shutdown (TSD). An adjustable Soft-start by an external capacitor C4 prevents the excessive inrush current at start-up. The feature of increasing efficiency at light loads allows the project to be used in energy-saving applications. Due to the ICs integrating phase compensation circuit the number of external components count is low. Screw terminal provided for easy input and output connections. D2 Power LED indicates the output.

The step-down DC-DC Converter project presented here provides 3.3V @ 1A output from an input range of 8V to 36V DC. The adjustable current limit is an important feature of the project, which prevents the device from accidental output short circuits avoiding excessive load damage. The internal limiting current (latched function) has a typical value of 2.5 A. The project is built around the L6902 chip from ST. The L6902D is a complete and simple step-down switching regulator with an adjustable current limit. Based on a voltage mode structure it integrates a current error amplifier to have a constant voltage and constant current control. By means of an onboard current sense resistor R1 and R2, current limit programming is very simple and accurate (±5%). Refer to the datasheet of the chip for R1 and R2 values about the current limit adjustment. The project can be used to charge NiMH and NiCad batteries due to its constant current feature. The project operates with a fixed switching frequency of 250Khz. If the temperature of the chip goes higher than a fixed internal threshold (150°C with 20°C hysteresis), the power stage is turned off. Other protections besides thermal shutdown complete the device for a safe and reliable application: overvoltage protection, frequency foldback overcurrent protection, and protection vs. feedback disconnection.
