The LM21305 is a full-featured, 5-A, synchronous buck dc-dc converter optimized for
solution size, flexibility, and high conversion efficiency. High-power density LM21305 designs are
easily achieved by virtue of monolithic integration of high-side and low-side power MOSFETs, high
switching frequency, peak current-mode control, and optimized thermal design. The efficiency of the
LM21305 is maximized at light loads with diode emulation mode operation and at heavy loads by
optimal design of the MOSFET adaptive gate drivers to minimize switch dead-times and body-diode
conduction losses.
The LM21305 accepts a wide input voltage range of 3 V to 18 V for
interface to various intermediate bus voltages, including 3.3-V, 5-V, and 12-V rails. A 1.5%
voltage reference and 70-ns, high-side MOSFET minimum controllable on-time enable output voltages
as low as 0.598 V with excellent setpoint accuracy. The LM21305 is available in a 5-mm ×
5-mm2 WQFN-28 thermally-enhanced package with 0.5-mm pitch.
The LM21305 offers flexible system configuration with programmable switching frequency
from 300 kHz to 1.5 MHz using one resistor or by external clock synchronization for
beat-frequency-sensitive and multi-regulator applications. On-chip bias supply low-dropout (LDO)
sub-regulators eliminate the need for an external bias power and simplify circuit board layout. The
device also offers an internal soft-start to limit inrush current and provide monotonic startup
capability into unbiased and pre-biased loads, integrated boot diodes, cycle-by-cycle current
limiting, and thermal shutdown. Peak current-mode control with a high-gain error amplifier
maintains stability throughout the entire input voltage and load current ranges, enabling excellent
line and load transient response.
The LM21305 features internal output overvoltage protection (OVP) and overcurrent
protection (OCP) circuits for increased system reliability. An integrated open-drain, PGOOD
indicator provides output voltage monitoring, power-rail sequencing capability, and fault
indication. Other features include thermal shutdown with automatic recovery, low PWM minimum
on-time, low shutdown quiescent current, and precision enable with hysteresis for programmable line
undervoltage lockout (UVLO).
