Hi All,
I need to design and build the circuit and printed circuit board to receive the power. I have got 40 volts input and I do not know how much input current because the guy who is working on it still experiemnt with his part of the system.
The load or the circuit needs atleast 4 volts and 400mA current to work properly. I thought that I can convert the 40 volts downto 5 volts or so using the following buck regulator
and then using the following Power Controller and Li Ion charger to toggle between charging the Li-ion battery or providing the Load circuit with LT3970 's DC 4 volts output. Am I right?
My questions and problems are as follows
- Am I going in the right direction with this?
- What I understood from the LTC4055's data sheet is that I do not need to use the pins "IN1" and " IN2" because I have only one input and I can use "Wall" input pin for the input voltage that ranges between 2 to 40 volts. But If I go with Wall pin than what would be the status of the following pins a. HPWR b.CLPROG c.ACPR d. Susp
3.LT 3970 's data sheet, page number 16, Figure "5V Step Down Converter" . Is this what I need? How can I choose the values for the inductor change current and the input capacitor?
I would appreciate if someone gives a good advise.
Thanks John
