Switching Regulator

This reference design requires 12V for AFE031, 5V for the C2000 control card and GaN device (the LMG2100R026), subsequently stepped down from 5V to 3.3V for the sampling device and other components, to operate. To generate the 12V line from the power lines (panel), a wide VIN buck, switching regulator LM5164 is needed to support a maximum voltage of 80V.

A fly-buck topology based on LMR51410XF, a fixed switching frequency regulator is used to generate two isolated 5V for the upper FET of LMG2100 to support a 100% duty cycle.
