This module is a non-isolated 7A DC-DC converter. The module can convert any DC voltage between 7V to 50V to a 5V DC with load current up to 7A. The project has been designed around LM5116 Wide Range Synchronous Buck Controller IC. The design includes 6uH toroid inductor and two N channel MOSFETS. The operating frequency is 250 KHz.
The LM5116 is a synchronous buck controller intended for step-down regulator applications from a high-voltage or widely varying input supply. The control method is based upon current mode control utilizing an emulated current ramp. Current mode control provides inherent line feed-forward, cycle-by-cycle current limiting, and ease-of-loop compensation. The use of an emulated control ramp reduces noise sensitivity of the pulse-width modulation circuit, allowing reliable control of very small duty cycles necessary in high-input voltage applications.
The operating frequency is programmable from 50 kHz to 1 MHz and the LM5116 drives external high-side and low-side NMOS power switches with adaptive dead-time control. A user-selectable diode emulation mode enables discontinuous operation mode, for improved efficiency at light load conditions. A low quiescent current shutdown disables the controller and consumes less than 10 µA of total input current.

This is an automotive-grade self-oscillation 50% duty cycle half-bridge module built using the AUIR2085S chip from Infineon. The project consists of 2 x N-channel MOSFETs, and the module provides a primary side control solution to enable Half-Bridge DC-bus converters. The module is a self-oscillating half-bridge driver with 50% duty cycle ideally suited for 10V – 15V half-bridge DC-bus converters. The board is also suitable for push-pull converters. Each channel frequency is equal to fOSC, which can be set by selecting RT (R2+PR1) & CT-(C7), Dead-time can be controlled through proper selection of CT range from 50ns to 200ns. Internal soft-start increases the pulse width during power-up and maintains pulse width matching for the high and low outputs throughout the start-up cycle. Typically, the soft-start duty cycle varies beginning from 5-10% ramping up to about 50% over 1000 cycles. The AUIR2085S initiates a soft start at power up and after every overcurrent condition. Undervoltage lockout prevents operation if VCC is less than 7.5V.
