This DC/DC buck regulator project is based on LMR38020 chip that employs synchronous rectification to achieve high conversion efficiency on a small board. The project operates over a wide input voltage range of 14V to 48V to provide a regulated 12Vdc output at 400kHz switching frequency. The output voltage has better than 1.5% setpoint accuracy. Enable pin is connected to VIN using resistor R2. The device has built-in protection features such as cycle-by-cycle current limit, hiccup mode short-circuit protection, and thermal shutdown in case of excessive power dissipation.

The project provides 12V output with a maximum of 48V input. The input voltage is limited due to the input capacitor voltage rating. The input and output voltage can be changed with a few component adjustments. The IC has a wide input voltage range. The board can support a higher input power supply. Output also can be altered as per user requirements. Refer to the details below for various options. Also, refer to the datasheet of LMR38020 for more info.
