7.1 Overview

The LM5141 is a switching controller which features all of the functions necessary to implement a high efficiency buck power supply that can operate over a wide input voltage range. The LM5141 is configured to provide a single fixed 3.3 V, or 5.0 V output, or an adjustable output between 1.5 V to 15 V. This easy to use controller integrates high-side and low-side MOSFET drivers capable of sourcing 3.25 A and sinking 4.25 A peak. The control method is current mode control which provides inherent line feed-forward, cycle-by-cycle current limiting, and ease of loop compensation. With the OSC pin connected to VDD, the default oscillator frequency is 2.2 MHz. With the OSC pin grounded, the oscillator frequency is 440 kHz. The LM5141 can be synchronized by applying an external clock to the DEMB pin. Fault protection features include current limiting, thermal shutdown, and remote shutdown capability.

The LM5141 has optional spread spectrum to reduce the peak EMI and gate drivers with slew rate control. The QFN-24 package features an exposed pad to aid in thermal dissipation.
