20V to 12V Converter Recommendation

Based on your load requirement (5A), a switching buck converter rated for at least 5A and an input voltage of 20V is needed. One commonly used option is the LM2678-12 from Texas Instruments. This regulator is designed to output a fixed 12V at up to 5A, with an input voltage range that more than covers your 20V supply.
Key considerations:
  • Input/Output Requirements:
    • Input: 20V
    • Output: 12V, 5A rated
  • Design Guidelines:
    • Follow the datasheet recommendations regarding component selection (such as the appropriate inductor, input/output capacitors, and catch diode) to ensure stable operation and proper transient response.
    • Pay attention to PCB layout rules for high-current switching regulators, including proper trace widths and thermal management.
