I'm trying to make my first voltage regulator circuit using the LM5143A-Q1 Buck IC. The datasheet does include examples and all the values required to get the 3.3/5V fixed output, but it barely has any information on how to get the 0.6 - 55V output. This is the datasheet, and I attached the schematic for the regulation below:
I'm still new to this so can you explain me why they used a voltage divider? Isn't that going to always give a FIXED voltage output? Shouldn't the source of feedback be something like a potentiometer like we use in the LM2596? How does this one work?
Also, the output voltage chart mentiones FB1/FB2 must be connected to the Rdivider, but, again, that's fixed so how can we for example change the voltage from 12 to 24V with a 50V Input?
