LM5116 Wide Range Synchronous Buck Controller
LM5116 Wide Range Synchronous Buck Controller
April 2007

General Description

The LM5116 is a synchronous buck controller intended for step-down regulator applications from a high voltage or widely varying input supply. The control method is based upon cur­rent mode control utilizing an emulated current ramp. Current mode control provides inherent line feed-forward, cycle by cycle current limiting and ease of loop compensation. The use of an emulated control ramp reduces noise sensitivity of the pulse-width modulation circuit, allowing reliable control of very small duty cycles necessary in high input voltage appli­cations. The operating frequency is programmable from 50kHz to 1MHz. The LM5116 drives external high-side and low-side NMOS power switches with adaptive dead-time con­trol. A user-selectable diode emulation mode enables discon­tinuous mode operation for improved efficiency at light load conditions. A low quiescent current shutdown disables the controller and consumes less than 10µA of total input current. Additional features include a high voltage bias regulator, au­tomatic switch-over to external bias for improved efficiency, thermal shutdown, frequency synchronization, cycle by cycle current limit and adjustable line under-voltage lockout. The device is available in a power enhanced TSSOP-20 package featuring an exposed die attach pad to aid thermal dissipation.

Pin Descriptions

Pin Name Description
1 VIN Chip supply voltage, input voltage monitor and input to the VCC regulator.
2 UVLO If the UVLO pin is below 1.215V, the regulator will be in standby mode (VCC regulator running, switching regulator
disabled). If the UVLO pin voltage is above 1.215V, the regulator is operational. An external voltage divider can be used to set an under-voltage shutdown threshold. There is a fixed 5µA pull up current on this pin when EN is high. UVLO is pulled to ground in the event a current limit condition exists for 256 clock cycles.

4 EN If the EN pin is below 0.5V, the regulator will be in a low power state drawing less than 10µA from VIN. EN must be
5 RAMP Ramp control signal. An external capacitor connected between this pin and the AGND pin sets the ramp slope used
6 AGND Analog ground.
7 SS An external capacitor and an internal 10µA current source set the soft start time constant for the rise of the error amp
8 FB Feedback signal from the regulated output. This pin is connected to the inverting input of the internal error amplifier.
9 COMP Output of the internal error amplifier. The loop compensation network should be connected between this pin and the
10 VOUT Output monitor. Connect directly to the output voltage.
11 DEMB Low-side MOSFET source voltage monitor for diode emulation. For start-up into a pre-biased load, tie this pin to
The internal oscillator is set with a single resistor between this pin and the AGND pin. The recommended frequency range is 50kHz to 1MHz. The internal oscillator can be synchronized to an external clock by AC coupling a positive edge onto this node.

Pin Name Description
12 CS Current sense amplifier input. Connect to the top of the current sense resistor or the drain of the low-sided MOSFET
if R
current sensing is used.
DS(ON)
13 CSG Current sense amplifier input. Connect to the bottom of the sense resistor or the source of the low-side MOSFET if
R
current sensing is used.

14 PGND Power ground.
15 LO Connect to the gate of the low-side synchronous MOSFET through a short, low inductance path.
16 VCC Locally decouple to PGND using a low ESR/ESL capacitor located as close to the controller as possible.
17 VCCX Optional input for an externally supplied VCC. If VCCX > 4.5V, VCCX is internally connected to VCC and the internal
VCC regulator is disabled. If VCCX is unused, it should be connected to ground.
18 HB High-side driver supply for bootstrap gate drive. Connect to the cathode of the bootstrap diode and the positive
terminal of the bootstrap capacitor. The bootstrap capacitor supplies current to charge the high-side MOSFET gate and should be placed as close to the controller as possible.

20 SW Switch node. Connect to the negative terminal of the bootstrap capacitor and the source terminal of the high-side
MOSFET.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the component may occur. Operating Ratings are conditions under which operation of the device is guaranteed. Operating Ratings do not imply guaranteed performance limits. For guaranteed performance limits and associated test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics tables.
Note 2: The human body model is a 100pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5kΩ resistor into each pin. LO, HO and HB are rated at 1kV. 2kV rating for all pins except VIN which is rated for 1.5kV.
Note 3: These pins must not exceed VIN.
