8.3.10 Minimum Controllable On Time

There are two limitations to the minimum output voltage adjustment range: the LM25149 voltage reference of 0.8 V and the minimum controllable switch-node pulse width, tON(min).

tON(min) effectively limits the voltage step-down conversion ratio VOUT / VIN at a given switching frequency. For fixed-frequency PWM operation, the voltage conversion ratio must satisfy Equation 6.

Equation 6. GUID-9AACB848-B7F1-43F1-A45A-8F186537E443-low.gif

where

  • tON(min) is 50 ns (typical).
  • FSW is the switching frequency.

If the desired voltage conversion ratio does not meet the above condition, the LM25149 transitions from fixed switching frequency operation to a pulse-skipping mode to maintain output voltage regulation. For example, if the desired output voltage is 5 V with an input voltage of 24 V and switching frequency of 2.1 MHz, use Equation 7 to verify that the conversion ratio.

Equation 7.

For wide-VIN applications and low output voltages, an alternative is to reduce the LM25149 switching frequency to meet the requirement of Equation 6.
