JAJSV63A August 2024 – August 2024 LM5137-Q1
ADVANCE INFORMATION
The LM5137-Q1 input voltage operating range is from 4V to 80V. The device is intended for step-down conversions from 12V, 24V and 48V automotive supply rails. The circuit in Figure 7-1 shows the essential components to implement an LM5137-Q1 based wide-VIN dual-output buck regulator using a single input supply.
The LM5137-Q1 uses an internal LDO subregulator to provide a 5V VCC bias rail for the gate drive and control circuits (assuming the input voltage is higher than 5V plus the necessary subregulator dropout specification). As VIN approaches the VOUT setpoint, the LM5137-Q1 activates the integrated charge pump to keep the high-side MOSFET on and thus achieve true 100% duty cycle. This action allows for the lowest possible dropout voltage at the output.
In high input voltage applications, make sure that the VIN, SW1, and SW2 pin voltages do not exceed the absolute maximum voltage rating of 85V during line or load transient events. Voltage excursions that exceed the Absolute Maximum Ratings can damage the IC. Proceed carefully during PCB board layout and use high-quality input bypass capacitors to minimize switch voltage overshoot and ringing.
ITEM | OBSERVED BEHAVIOR |
---|---|
1 | At oscillator frequencies greater than 1MHz, there is a large hysteresis as the LM5137-Q1 comes out of dropout (100% duty cycle). VIN can need to increase several volts above the voltage at which VIN entered dropout. |
