JAJSAQ4F January 2007 – May 2021 LM5002
PRODUCTION DATA
The non-isolated flyback converter shown in Figure 8-5 uses the internal voltage reference for the regulation setpoint. The output is 5 V at 500 mA while the input voltage can vary from 16 V to 42 V. The switching frequency is set to 250 kHz. An auxiliary winding on transformer (T1) provides 7.5 V to power the LM5002 when the output is in regulation. This disables the internal high-voltage VCC LDO regulator and improves efficiency. The input undervoltage threshold is 13.9 V. The converter can be shut down by driving the EN input below
1.26 V with an open-collector or open-drain transistor. An external synchronizing frequency can be applied to the SYNC input. An optional soft-start circuit is connected to the COMP pin input. When power is applied, the soft-start capacitor (C7) is discharged and limits the voltage applied to the PWM comparator by the internal error amplifier. The internal approximate 5-kΩ COMP pullup resistor charges the soft-start capacitor until regulation is achieved. The VCC pullup resistor (R7) continues to charge C7 so that the soft-start circuit does not affect the compensation network in normal operation. If the output capacitance is small, the soft-start circuit can be adjusted to limit the power-on output voltage overshoot. If the output capacitance is sufficiently large, no soft-start circuit is required because the LM5002 gradually charges the output capacitor by current limiting at approximately 500 mA (ILIM) until regulation is achieved.
