SNVSC77 December 2024 LM5125-Q1
ADVANCE INFORMATION
The LM5125-Q1 is a wide input range dual phase boost controller. The device provides a regulated output voltage if the input voltage is equal or lower than the adjusted output voltage. The resistor-to-digital (R2D) interface offers the user a simple and robust selection of all the device functionality.
The operation modes DEM (Diode Emulation Mode) and FPWM (Forced Pulse Width Modulation) are on-the-fly pin-selectable during operation. The peak current mode control operates with fixed switching frequency set by the RT-pin. Through the activation of the dual random spread spectrum operation, EMI mitigation is achievable at any time of the design process.
The integrated average current monitor can help monitor or limit input current. The output voltage can be dynamically adjusted during operation (dynamic voltage scaling and envelope tracking). The adjustment is either possible by changing the analog reference voltage of the ATRK/DTRK-pin or the adjustment can be done directly with a PWM input signal on the ATRK/DTRK pin.
The internal wide input LDOs provide a robust supply of the device functionality under different input and output voltage conditions. Due to the high drive capability and the automatic and headroom depended voltages selection, the power losses are kept at a minimum. The separate BIAS-pin can be connected to the input, output, or an external supply to further reduce power losses in the device. At all times, the internal supply voltage is monitored to avoid undefined failure handling.
The LM5125-Q1 integrates a full bridge N-channel MOSFET driver. The gate driver circuit has a high driving capability to make sure of high efficiency targets over the wide range of the supported application. The gate driver features an integrated high voltage low dropout bootstrap diode. The internal bootstrap circuit has a protection against an overvoltage that can be injected by negative spikes and an undervoltage lockout protection to avoid a linear operation of the external power FET. An integrated charge pump make sure of 100% duty cycle operation in BYPASS mode.
The devices built-in protection features provide a safe operation under different fault conditions. There is a VI undervoltage lockout protection to avoid brownout situations. Because the input UVLO threshold and hysteresis can be configured through an external feedback divider, the brownout is avoided under the different designs. The device has an output overvoltage protection. The selectable hiccup overcurrent protection avoids excessive short circuit currents by using the internal cycle-by-cycle peak current protection. Due to the integrated thermal shutdown, the device is protected against thermal damage caused by an overload condition of the internal VCC regulators. All output-related fault events are monitored and indicated at the open-drain PGOOD-pin of the device.
