18...36/24 Power Supply designing

[pzq]

sami conductor

Dear members,

I'd like to design professional type DC-DC power supply requirements as
follows:
Input: 18...36 Vdc
Output: 18....24 Vdc @ 170W
Design shall be realized without Boost partion i.e.
under 24 V input, the output follows the input (23in = 23out, 18in = 18out etc.)...and over the 24 V input ,the output will be reagulated to be 24 V.
This could be realized with e.g. Buck regulator with PMOS top-fet i.e. could get almost 100% duty cycle....or by Formard Converter topology.
Problem with PMOS top-fet is high losses i.e. difficult to find such kind PMOS with small thermal loss.
Please help me if somebody has some experience this sort of problem?! Thanks!

you can use N-mos instead of the P-mos.
But the gate driving circuits will be complex.
And you can use some special driving IC or drivng transformer to drive the high side N-mos in Buck regulator.
So the high efficiency can be obtained.

hello
i think this is not possible to get 18V in and exact 18V out through any sami conductor(tr IC etc)
you can use N type MOSFET for this purpose

Instead of an P-type mosfet in the high side you can use a N-type mosfet in the low side. Then high side goes straigth from input to output.
this type does not require a special gate supply voltage.
