intellectual property matters and other important disclaimers. PRODUCTION DATA.
The internal VCC regulator also supports BIAS pin operation up to 60 V (65-V absolute maximum) for automotive
load dump. The switching frequency is dynamically programmable with an external resistor from 100 kHz to 2.2
MHz. Switching at 2.2 MHz minimizes AM band interference and allows for a small solution size and fast
transient response. To reduce the EMI of the power supply, the device provides a selectable dual random spread
spectrum which reduces the EMI over the wide frequency range.
The device features a 1.5-A standard MOSFET driver and a low 100-mV current limit threshold. The device also
supports the use of an external VCC supply to improve efficiency. Low operating current and pulse-skipping
operation improve efficiency at light loads.
The device has built-in protection features such as cycle-by-cycle current limit, overvoltage protection, line UVLO,
and thermal shutdown. Hiccup mode overload protection is available in the LM51561-Q1 device option.
Additional features include low shutdown IQ, programmable soft start, programmable slope compensation,
precision reference, power-good indicator, and external clock synchronization.

RT and GND.
Power-good indicator. An open-drain output which goes low if FB is below the under voltage
threshold. Connect a pullup resistor to the system voltage rail.

which reduces the EMI over the wide frequency span.

9.3.1 Line Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO/SYNC/EN pin)
The device has a dual-level UVLO circuit. During power-on, if the BIAS pin voltage is greater than 2.7 V, and the
UVLO pin voltage is in between the enable threshold (VEN) and the UVLO threshold (V
(see the Clock Synchronization (UVLO/SYNC/EN Pin) section for more details), the device starts up and an
internal configuration starts. The device typically requires a 65-µs internal start-up delay before entering standby
mode. In standby mode, the VCC regulator and RT regulator are operational, SS pin is grounded, and there is no
switching at the GATE output.

) for more than 1.5 µs
UVLO
When the UVLO pin voltage is above the UVLO threshold, the device enters run mode. In the run mode, a softstart sequence starts if the VCC voltage is greater than 4.5 V, or 50 µs after the VCC voltage exceeds the 2.85-V
VCC UV threshold (V
VCC-UVLO
), whichever comes first. UVLO hysteresis is accomplished with an internal 50-mV
voltage hysteresis and an additional 5-μA current source that is switched on or off. When the UVLO pin voltage
exceeds the UVLO threshold, the current source is enabled to quickly raise the voltage at the UVLO pin. When
the UVLO pin voltage falls below the UVLO threshold, the current source is disabled, causing the voltage at the
UVLO pin to fall quickly. When the UVLO pin voltage is less than the enable threshold (VEN), the device enters
shutdown mode after a 35-µs (typical) delay with all functions disabled.
The external UVLO resistor divider must be designed so that the voltage at the UVLO pin is greater than 1.5 V
(typical) when the input voltage is in the desired operating range. The values of R
calculated as shown in Equation 1 and Equation 2.

9.3.2 High Voltage VCC Regulator (BIAS, VCC Pin)
The device has an internal wide input VCC regulator which is sourced from the BIAS pin. The wide input VCC
regulator allows the BIAS pin to be connected directly to supply voltages from 3.5 V to 60 V.
The VCC regulator turns on when the device is in the standby or run mode. When the BIAS pin voltage is below
the VCC regulation target, the VCC output tracks the BIAS with a small dropout voltage. When the BIAS pin
voltage is greater than the VCC regulation target, the VCC regulator provides 6.85-V supply for the N-channel
MOSFET driver.
The VCC regulator sources current into the capacitor connected to the VCC pin with a minimum of 35-mA
capability. The recommended VCC capacitor value is from 1 µF to 4.7 µF.
The device supports a wide input range from 3.5 V to 60 V in normal configuration. By connecting the BIAS pin
directly to the VCC pin, the device supports inputs from 2.97 V to 16 V. This configuration is recommended when
the device starts up from a 1-cell battery.
The minimum supply voltage after start-up can be further decreased by supplying the BIAS pin from the boost
converter output or from an external power supply as shown in Figure 22.
Figure 22. Decrease the Minimum Operating Voltage After Start-Up
In flyback topology, the internal power dissipation of the device can be decreased by supplying the VCC using an
additional transformer winding. In this configuration, the external VCC supply voltage must be greater than the
VCC regulation target (V
VCC-REG
), and the BIAS pin voltage must be greater the VCC voltage because the VCC
