high frequency smps
Hi everyone,
I'm designing a switch-mode power supply for a small robot and I'm wondering if anyone has experience with high-frequency (~1MHz) buck convertor design.
Here are my basic requirements for the supply:
-Nominal supply current: 100mA
-Max supply current: 1A
-Max Vin: 15V
-Vout: 3.3V
Goals in order of priority:
-Small as possible
-Not too much EMI
-Efficient as possible (ie synchronous)
-Internal switch
-Cost isn't really an issue since this is for low volume
To tick off small and efficient I'd like to use something like the TPS62110 from TI, but I'm concerned about EMI. This will be powering analogue sensors (gyros and accelerometers), and I want to make sure my measurements aren't too noisy. From what I can tell, proper layout (fat tracks from switch to inductor, minimal loops in the supply) should prevent EMI in the first place. Anyone have experience with high frequency switchers?
Cheers
