6.4.2 Forced PWM Mode and Synchronization (FPWM/SYNC)

A synchronous buck regulator implemented with a low-side synchronous MOSFET rather than a diode has the capability to sink negative current from the output during conditions of, light-load, output overvoltage, and prebias start-up conditions. The LM5190 provides a diode emulation feature that can be enabled to prevent reverse (drain-to-source) current flow in the low-side MOSFET. When configured for diode emulation mode, the low-side MOSFET is switched off when reverse current flow is detected by sensing the SW voltage using a zero-cross comparator. The benefit of this configuration is lower power loss during light-load conditions. The disadvantage of diode emulation mode is slower light-load transient response.

The FPWM/SYNC pin configures diode emulation mode and forced PWM mode. To enable diode emulation and thus achieve low-IQ current at light loads, connect FPWM/SYNC to AGND. If FPWM with continuous conduction mode (CCM) operation is desired, tie FPWM/SYNC to VCC. Note that diode emulation is automatically engaged to prevent reverse current flow during a prebias start-up. A gradual change from DCM to CCM operation provides monotonic start-up performance.

To synchronize the LM5190 to an external source, apply a logic-level clock to the FPWM/SYNC pin. The LM5190 can be synchronized to ±20% of the programmed frequency up to a maximum of 2.5MHz. When the LM5190 is operating in synchronization mode, LM5190 operates in FPWM mode. If there is an RT resistor tied to AGND and a synchronization signal, the LM5190 ignores the RT resistor and synchronizes to the external clock. If there is an RT resistor tied to VCC and a synchronization signal, the synchronization signal is ignored and the LM5190 operates in RT defined frequency with DRSS. Under low VIN conditions when the minimum off time is reached, the synchronization signal is ignored, allowing the switching frequency to reduce to maintain output voltage regulation.
