8.3.1 Input Range (VIN)

The LM5146-Q1 operational input voltage range is from 5.5 V to 100 V. The device is intended for step-down conversions from 12-V, 24-V, 48-V, 60-V, and 72-V unregulated, semiregulated, and fully-regulated supply rails. The application circuit in Figure 8-1 shows all the necessary components to implement an LM5146-Q1-based wide-VIN step-down regulator using a single supply. The LM5146-Q1 uses an internal LDO subregulator to provide a 7.5-V VCC bias rail for the gate drive and control circuits (assuming the input voltage is higher than 7.5 V plus the necessary subregulator dropout specification).

In high-voltage applications, take extra care to ensure the VIN pin does not exceed the absolute maximum voltage rating of 100 V during line or load transient events. Voltage ringing on the VIN pin that exceeds the values in the Absolute Maximum Ratings can damage the IC. Use high-quality ceramic input capacitors to minimize ringing. An RC filter from the input rail to the VIN pin (for example, 4.7 Ω and 0.1 µF) provides supplementary filtering at the VIN pin.
