SLVAFP0 December 2023 LMR51610
The LMR51610 is a buck converter that can be configured as an inverting buck-boost (IBB) topology by changing the output voltage and ground connections. Since the IBB is referenced to -VOUT rather than ground, the input voltage range of the LMR51610 depending on the both input voltage and -VOUT. The maximum possible output current is also limited by input current and output current, because the maximum inductor current is always larger than the maximum output current. This report explains the IBB topology and design example of how to select the external components. Data is provided from a test circuit. For further information on the operation, refer to application note in reference next page.
