LM2747 Synchronous Buck Controller with Pre-bias Startup, and Optional Clock Synchronization
March 2006
General Description
The LM2747 is a high-speed synchronous buck regulator
controller with a feedback voltage accuracy of
provide simple down conversion to output voltages as low as
0.6V. Though the control section of the IC is rated for 3 to 6V,
the driver section is designed to accept input supply rails as
high as 14V. The use of adaptive non-overlapping MOSFET
gate drivers helps avoid potential shoot-through problems
while maintaining high efficiency. The IC is designed for the
more cost-effective option of driving only N-channel MOSFETs in both the high-side and low-side positions. It senses
the low-side switch voltage drop for providing a simple,
adjustable current limit.
The LM2747 features a fixed-frequency voltage-mode PWM
control architecture which is adjustable from 50 kHz to 1
MHz with one external resistor. In addition, the LM2747 also
allows the switching frequency to be synchronized to an
external clock signal over the range of 250 kHz to 1 MHz.
This wide range of switching frequency gives the power
supply designer the flexibility to make better tradeoffs between component size, cost and efficiency.
Features include the ability to startup with a pre-biased load
on the output, soft-start, input undervoltage lockout (UVLO)
and Power Good (based on both undervoltage and overvoltage detection). In addition, the shutdown pin of the IC can be
used for providing startup delay, and the soft-start pin can be
used for implementing precise tracking, for the purpose of
sequencing with respect to an external rail.

Pin Description
BOOT (Pin 1) - Bootstrap pin. This is the supply rail for the
high-side gate driver. When the high-side MOSFET turns on,
the voltage on this pin should be at least one gate threshold
above the regulator input voltage V
MOSFET. See MOSFET Gate Drivers in the Application
Information section for more details on how to select MOSFETs.
LG (Pin 2) - Low-gate drive pin. This is the gate drive for the
low-side N-channel MOSFET. This signal is interlocked with
the high-side gate drive HG (Pin 14), so as to avoid shootthrough.
PGND (Pins 3, 13) - Power ground. This is also the ground
for the low-side MOSFET driver. Both the pins must be
connected together on the PCB and form a ground plane,
which is usually also the system ground.
SGND (Pin 4) - Signal ground. It should be connected
appropriately to the ground plane with due regard to good
layout practices in switching power regulator circuits.
(Pin 5) Supply rail for the control sections of the IC.

PWGD (Pin 6) - Power Good pin. This is an open drain
output, which is typically meant to be connected to V
any other low voltage source through a pull-up resistor.
Choose the pull-up resistor so that the current going into this
pin is kept below 1 mA. A recommended value for the pull-up
resistor is 100 kΩ for most applications. The voltage on this
pin is thus pulled low under output undervoltage or overvoltage fault conditions and also under input UVLO.
(Pin 7) - Current limit threshold setting pin. This sources

a fixed 40 µA current. A resistor of appropriate value should
be connected between this pin and the drain of the low-side

CC
EAO (Pin 8) - Output of the error amplifier. The voltage level
on this pin is compared with an internally generated ramp
signal to determine the duty cycle. This pin is necessary for
compensating the control loop.
SS/TRACK (Pin 9) - Soft-start and tracking pin. This pin is
internally connected to the non-inverting input of the error
amplifier during soft-start, and in fact any time the SS/
TRACK pin voltage happens to be below the internal reference voltage. For the basic soft-start function, a capacitor of
minimum value 1 nF is connected from this pin to ground. To
track the rising ramp of another power supply’s output, connect a resistor divider from the output of that supply to this
pin as described in Application Information.
FB (Pin 10) - Feedback pin. This is the inverting input of the
error amplifier, which is used for sensing the output voltage
and compensating the control loop.
FREQ/SYNC (Pin 11) - Frequency adjust pin. The switching
frequency is set by connecting a resistor of suitable value
between this pin and ground. Some typical values (rounded
up to the nearest standard values) are 150 kΩ for 200 kHz,
100 kΩ for 300 kHz, 51.1 kΩ for 500 kHz, 18.7 kΩ for 1 MHz.
This pin is also used to synchronize to an external clock
within the range of 250kHz to 1MHz.
SD (Pin 12) - IC shutdown pin. Pull this pin to V
the IC is enabled. Connect to ground to disable the IC. Under
shutdown, both high-side and low-side drives are off. This
pin also features a precision threshold for power supply
sequencing purposes, as well as a low threshold to ensure
minimal quiescent current.
HG (Pin 14) - High-gate drive pin. This is the gate drive for
the high-side N-channel MOSFET. This signal is interlocked
with LG (Pin 2) to avoid shoot-through.
