SNVSBS7B December 2021 – December 2024 LM5168 , LM5169
PRODUCTION DATA
The LM516x contains an internal linear regulator that is powered from VIN with a nominal output of 5 V, eliminating the need for an external capacitor to stabilize the linear regulator. The internal VCC regulator supplies current to internal circuit blocks, including the synchronous FET driver and logic circuits. The input pin (VIN) can be connected directly to line voltages up to 120 V absolute maximum. Because the power MOSFET has a low total gate charge, use a low bootstrap capacitor value to reduce the stress on the internal regulator. Selecting a high-quality 2.2-nF X7R ceramic bootstrap capacitor as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings is required. Selecting a higher value capacitance stresses the internal VCC regulator and can damage the device. An internal diode connects from the VCC regulator to the BST pin to replenish the charge in the high-side gate drive bootstrap capacitor when the SW voltage is low.
