7.3.5 Supply Voltage Selection – VSMART Switch and Selection Logic

There are two pins to supply the LM51772 internal voltage regulators. Due to the internal supply voltage selection circuit, the device can reduce the power dissipation by ensuring a seamless operation at low input or output voltages as well as in transient operating conditions like an output short. The VSMART switch selects the pin with the lower voltage from the VIN or BIAS pin once the voltage on both is above the switch-over threshold (VT(VCC, SUP)). If one pin voltage is lower than the threshold, the other supply pin is selected. And if both pins are lower than the switch-over threshold, the higher voltage of VIN or BIAS is selected as supply. The following are common configurations for the supply pins:

  • The VIN pin is connected to the supply voltage. The BIAS pin is connected to VOUT. During start-up, as long as the output voltage is not higher than the supply switch-over threshold, VIN supplies the internal regulators. Once VO is high enough, the supply current comes from the BIAS pin.
  • The VIN is connected to the input supply voltage and the BIAS pin is connected to an auxiliary supply (for example, an existing 12V DC/DC converter). This configuration is commonly used at high voltage applications on the input and output voltages where the power dissipation over the integrated linear regulators must be further minimized.
  • If the BIAS pin is not used it is recommended to put BIAS to ground, the device always used the VIN LDO, and the quiescent is minimized.

Figure 7-14 VSMART Supply Scenario 2

When the FORCE_BIAS bit is set to 0b1, the device does not directly select the highest voltage between the two supply pins BIAS and VIN. To achieve a minimum of power losses over the LDO the VSMART logic will decide what voltage is the closest one to the target supply VT(VCC,SUP) . The Table 7-1 gives an overview for the selection conditions:

Table 7-1 VSMART selection truth table
V(BIAS)V(VIN)VSMART supply
X> VT+(VCC2,SUP) && < V(BIAS)VIN-PIN
> VT+(VCC2,SUP) && < V(VIN)XBIAS-PIN
< VT-(VCC2,SUP)XVIN-PIN
X< VT-(VCC2,SUP)BIAS-PIN
> VT+(VCC2,SUP) && > V(VIN)> VT+(VCC2,SUP)VIN-PIN
> VT+(VCC2,SUP)> VT+(VCC2,SUP) && > V(BIAS)BIAS-PIN

There is a FORCE_BIAS bit if it is 0b1 it lowers and prioritizes the switchover threshold for the BIAS pin. Intention is to support an external supply of nominal 5V for the VCC2 but still be able to start-up with the VIN supply if the sequencing if the external supply does not meet the start-up timing. The selection of the VCC2 supply follows this behavior:

  • If the BIAS voltages is below the VT+(Force,BIAS) , then the VIN gets selected.
  • If the BIAS voltage is above VT+(Force,BIAS) , then the BIAS gets selected regardless of VIN being above the VT+(VCC2,SUP)
