Capability  
1 Features  
3 Description  
•
Designed for reliability in rugged applications  
– Wide input voltage range of 6 V to 120 V  
– Junction temperature range: –40°C to +150°C  
– Fixed 3-ms internal soft-start timer  
– Peak and valley current-limit protection  
– Input UVLO and thermal shutdown protection  
Suited for scalable industrial power supplies and  
battery packs  
– Low minimum on and off times of 50 ns  
– Adjustable switching frequency up to 1 MHz  
– Diode emulation for high light-load efficiency  
– Auto mode with low quiescent current (< 10 µA)  
– FPWM mode enables fly-buck capability  
– 3-µA shutdown quiescent current  
The LM5169 and LM5168 synchronous buck  
converters are designed to regulate over a wide input  
voltage range, minimizing the need for external surge  
suppression components. A minimum controllable on  
time of 50 ns facilitates large step-down conversion  
ratios, enabling the direct step-down from a 48-V  
nominal input to low-voltage rails for reduced system  
complexity and solution cost. The LM5169 operates  
during input voltage dips as low as 6 V, at nearly  
100% duty cycle if needed, making it an excellent  
choice for wide input supply range industrial and high  
cell count battery pack applications.  
•
With integrated high-side and low-side power  
MOSFETs, the LM5169 delivers up to 0.65-A of  
output current and the LM5168 delivers up to 0.3-  
A of output current. A constant on-time (COT)  
control architecture provides nearly constant switching  
frequency with excellent load and line transient  
response. The LM5169 is available in FPWM or auto  
mode operation. FPWM mode provides forced CCM  
operation across the entire load range supporting  
isolated fly-buck operation. Auto mode enables ultra-  
low IQ and diode emulation mode operation for high  
light-load efficiency.  
– Pin-to-pin compatible with LM5164, LM5163,  
LM5017, and LM34927  
Integration reduces solution size and cost

8 Detailed Description  
8.1 Overview  
The LM5169 and LM5168 are easy-to-use, ultra-low IQ constant on-time (COT) synchronous step-down buck  
regulators. With integrated high-side and low-side power MOSFETs, the LM516x is a low-cost, highly efficient  
buck converter that operates from a wide input voltage of 6 V to 120 V, delivering up to 0.65-A or 0.3-A DC  
load current. The LM516x is available in an 8-pin SO PowerPAD™ package with 1.27-mm pin pitch for adequate  
spacing in high-voltage applications. This constant on-time (COT) converter is ideal for low-noise, high-current,  
and fast load transient requirements, operating with a predictive on-time switching pulse. Over the input voltage  
range, input voltage feedforward is employed to achieve a quasi-fixed switching frequency. A controllable on  
time as low as 50 ns permits high step-down ratios and a minimum forced off time of 50 ns provides extremely  
high duty cycles. This enables fixed frequency operation as VIN drops close to VOUT. Once the forced off time  
of 50 ns is reached, the device will enter frequency foldback operation to maintain a constant output voltage.  
The LM516x implements a smart peak and valley current limit detection circuit to ensure robust protection during  
output short circuit conditions. Control loop compensation is not required for this regulator, reducing design time  
and external component count.  
The LM5169 and LM5168 are pre-programmed to operate in auto mode or FPWM mode. When configured to  
operate in auto mode, at light loads, the device transitions into an ultra-low IQ mode to maintain high efficiency  
and prevent draining battery cells connected to the input when the system is in standby. When configured in  
FPWM mode, at light loads, the device maintains CCM operation, enabling fly-buck operation. The fly-buck  
configuration can be used to generate both a non-isolated primary output and an isolated secondary output.  
The LM5169 and LM5168 incorporates additional features for comprehensive system requirements, including an  
open-drain power-good circuit for the following:  
•
•
•
•
•
•
Power-rail sequencing and fault reporting  
Internally fixed soft start  
Monotonic start-up into prebiased loads  
Precision enable for programmable line undervoltage lockout (UVLO)  
Smart cycle-by-cycle current limit for optimal inductor sizing  
Thermal shutdown with automatic recovery  
The LM5169 and LM5168 support a wide range of end equipment requiring a regulated output from a high input  
supply where the transient voltage deviates from its DC level. Examples of such end equipment systems are the  
following:  
•
•
•
•
48-V automotive systems  
High cell-count battery-pack systems  
24-V industrial systems  
48-V telecom and PoE voltage ranges  
The pin arrangement is designed for a simple layout that requires only a few external components.

8.3 Feature Description  
8.3.1 Control Architecture  
The LM516x step-down switching converter employs a constant on-time (COT) control scheme. The COT control  
scheme sets a fixed on time, tON, of the high-side FET using a timing resistor (RT). tON is adjusted as VIN  
changes and is inversely proportional to the input voltage to maintain a fixed frequency when in continuous  
conduction mode (CCM). After expiration of tON, the high-side FET remains off until the feedback pin is equal  
or below the reference voltage of 1.2 V. To maintain stability, the feedback comparator requires a minimal ripple  
voltage that is in-phase with the inductor current during the off time. Furthermore, this change in feedback  
voltage during the off time must be large enough to dominate any noise present at the feedback node. The  
minimum recommended ripple voltage is 20 mV. See Table 8-1 for different types of ripple injection schemes that  
ensure stability over the full input voltage range.  
During a rapid start-up or a positive load step, the regulator operates with minimum off times until regulation is  
achieved. This feature enables extremely fast load transient response with minimum output voltage undershoot.  
When regulating the output in steady-state operation, the off time automatically adjusts itself to produce the  
SW pin duty cycle required for output voltage regulation to maintain a fixed switching frequency. In CCM, the  
switching frequency FSW is programmed by the RT resistor. Use Equation 1 to calculate the switching frequency.

Table 8-1 presents three different methods for generating appropriate voltage ripple at the feedback node.  
The Type-1 ripple generation method uses a single resistor, RESR, in series with the output capacitor. The  
generated voltage ripple has two components: capacitive ripple caused by the inductor ripple current charging  
and discharging the output capacitor and resistive ripple caused by the inductor ripple current flowing into the  
output capacitor and through series resistance RESR. The capacitive ripple component is out-of-phase with the  
inductor current and does not decrease monotonically during the off time. The resistive ripple component is  
in-phase with the inductor current and decreases monotonically during the off time. The resistive ripple must  
exceed the capacitive ripple at VOUT for stable operation. If this condition is not satisfied, unstable switching  
behavior is observed in COT converters, with multiple on-time bursts in close succession followed by a long off  
time. The equations under Type 1 define the value of the series resistance RESR to ensure sufficient in-phase  
ripple at the feedback node.  
Type-2 ripple generation uses a CFF capacitor in addition to the series resistor. As the output voltage ripple is  
directly AC-coupled by CFF to the feedback node, the RESR and ultimately the output voltage ripple, are reduced  
by a factor of VOUT / VFB1  
.
Type-3 ripple generation uses an RC network consisting of RA and CA, and the switch node voltage to  
generate a triangular ramp that is in-phase with the inductor current. This triangular wave is the AC-coupled  
into the feedback node with capacitor CB. Since this circuit does not use output voltage ripple, it is suited for  
applications where low output voltage ripple is critical. The AN-1481 Controlling Output Ripple and Achieving  
ESR Independence in Constant On-time (COT) Regulator Designs Application Note provides additional details  
on this topic.  
Light load mode operation can be set to PFM and DEM operation or FPWM operation as a factory option. Diode  
emulation mode (DEM) prevents negative inductor current, and pulse skipping maintains the highest efficiency at  
light load currents by decreasing the effective switching frequency. DEM operation occurs when the synchronous  
power MOSFET switches off as inductor valley current reaches zero. Here, the load current is less than half  
of the peak-to-peak inductor current ripple in CCM. Turning off the low-side MOSFET at zero current reduces  
switching loss, and prevents negative current conduction reduces conduction loss. Power conversion efficiency  
is higher in a DEM converter than an equivalent forced-PWM CCM converter. With DEM operation, the duration  
that both power MOSFETs remain off progressively increases as load current decreases. When this idle duration  
exceeds 15 μs, the converter transitions into an ultra-low IQ mode, consuming only 10-μA quiescent current from  
the input. In FPWM operation, the DEM feature is turned off. This means that the device remains in CCM under  
light loads, and the device is capable of operating in a fly-buck configuration.  
8.3.2 Internal VCC Regulator and Bootstrap Capacitor  
The LM516x contains an internal linear regulator that is powered from VIN with a nominal output of 5 V,  
eliminating the need for an external capacitor to stabilize the linear regulator. The internal VCC regulator

supplies current to internal circuit blocks, including the synchronous FET driver and logic circuits. The input pin  
(VIN) can be connected directly to line voltages up to 120 V. Since the power MOSFET has a low total gate  
charge, use a low bootstrap capacitor value to reduce the stress on the internal regulator. It is required to select  
a high-quality 2.2-nF 50-V X7R ceramic bootstrap capacitor as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings.  
Selecting a higher value capacitance stresses the internal VCC regulator and damages the device. A lower  
capacitance than required is not sufficient to drive the internal gate of the power MOSFET. An internal diode  
connects from the VCC regulator to the BST pin to replenish the charge in the high-side gate drive bootstrap  
capacitor when the SW voltage is low.  
8.3.3 Internal Soft Start  
The LM516x employs an internal soft-start control ramp that allows the output voltage to gradually reach  
a steady-state operating point, thereby reducing start-up stresses and current surges. The soft-start feature  
produces a controlled, monotonic output voltage start-up. The soft-start time is internally set to 3 ms.  
8.3.4 On-Time Generator  
The on time of the LM516x high-side FET is determined by the RT resistor and is inversely proportional to the  
input voltage, VIN. The inverse relationship with VIN results in a nearly constant frequency as VIN is varied. Use  
Equation 2 to calculate the on time.

Select RT for a minimum on time (at maximum VIN) greater than 50 ns for proper buck operation and greater  
than 100 ns for proper fly-buck operation. In addition to this minimum on time, the maximum frequency for this  
device is limited to 1 MHz.  
8.3.5 Current Limit  
The PFM variant of the LM516x manages overcurrent conditions with cycle-by-cycle current limiting of the peak  
inductor current. The current sensed in the high-side MOSFET is compared every switching cycle to the current  
limit threshold (0.84 A or 0.42 A). To protect the converter from potential current runaway conditions, the LM516x  
includes a foldback valley current limit feature, set at 0.67 A for the LM5169 and 0.34 A for LM5168, that is  
enabled if a peak current limit is detected. As shown in Figure 8-1, if the peak current in the high-side MOSFET  
exceeds 0.84 A for the LM5169 and 0.42 A for the LM5168 (typical), the present cycle is immediately terminated  
regardless of the programmed on time (tON), the high-side MOSFET is turned off and the foldback valley current  
limit is activated. The low-side MOSFET remains on until the inductor current drops below this foldback valley  
current limit, after which the next on-pulse is initiated. This method folds back the switching frequency to prevent  
overheating and limits the average output current to less than 0.65 A for LM5169 and 0.3 A for LM5168 to  
ensure proper short-circuit and heavy-load protection.

Figure 8-1. Current Limit Timing Diagram  
Current is sensed after a leading-edge blanking time following the high-side MOSFET turn-on transition. The  
propagation delay of the current limit comparator is 100 ns. During high step-down conditions when the on time  
is less than 100 ns, a backup peak current limit comparator in the low-side FET also set at 0.84 A or 0.42 A,  
enables the foldback valley current limit set at 0.67 A or 0.34 A. This innovative current limit scheme enables  
ultra-low duty-cycle operation, permitting large step-down voltage conversions while ensuring robust protection  
of the converter.  
The FPWM variant of the device implements a current limit off-timer and hiccup protection. If the current in the  
high-side MOSFET exceeds IHS_PK(OC), the high-side MOSFET is immediately turned off and a non-resettable  
off-timer is initiated. The length of the off time is controlled by the feedback voltage and the input voltage. The  
off-timer ensures safe short circuit operation in fly-buck configuration. An overload current on the secondary  
output can result in the secondary voltage collapsing while the primary voltage remains in regulation. This results  
in a possible condition where the secondary output voltage does not recover after the overload condition. Hiccup  
protection makes sure a soft-start counter enables both the secondary and primary output voltages to recover  
properly after an overcurrent event is detected for 16 consecutive current limit cycles. After four consecutive  
cycles without current limit detection, restart the hiccup protection counter. The LM516x attempts soft start after  
a "hiccup period" of 64 ms.  
8.3.6 N-Channel Buck Switch and Driver  
The LM516x integrates an N-channel buck switch and associated floating high-side gate driver. The gate-driver  
circuit works in conjunction with an external bootstrap capacitor and an internal high-voltage bootstrap diode. A  
high-quality 2.2-nF, 50-V X7R ceramic capacitor connected between the BST and SW pins provides the voltage  
to the high-side driver during the buck switch on time. See Section 8.3.2 for limitations. During the off time, the  
SW pin is pulled down to approximately 0 V, and the bootstrap capacitor charges from the internal VCC through  
the internal bootstrap diode. The minimum off-timer, set to 50 ns (typical), ensures a minimum time each cycle to  
recharge the bootstrap capacitor. When the on time is less than 300 ns, the minimum off-timer is forced to 250  
ns to ensure that the BST capacitor is charged in a single cycle. This is vital during wakeup from sleep mode  
when the BST capacitor is most likely discharged.  
8.3.7 Synchronous Rectifier  
The LM516x provides an internal low-side synchronous rectifier N-channel MOSFET. This MOSFET provides a  
low-resistance path for the inductor current to flow when the high-side MOSFET is turned off.  
The synchronous rectifier operates in a diode emulation mode. Diode emulation enables the regulator to operate  
in a pulse-skipping mode during light load conditions. This mode leads to a reduction in the average switching  
frequency at light loads. Switching losses and FET gate driver losses, both of which are proportional to switching  
frequency, are significantly reduced at very light loads and efficiency is improved. This pulse-skipping mode also  
reduces the circulating inductor current and losses associated with conventional CCM at light loads.

8.3.8 Enable/Undervoltage Lockout (EN/UVLO)  
The LM516x contains a dual-level EN/UVLO circuit. When the EN/UVLO voltage is below 1.1 V (typical), the  
converter is in a low-current shutdown mode and the input quiescent current (IQ) is dropped down to 3 µA. When  
the voltage is greater than 1.1 V but less than 1.5 V (typical), the converter is in standby mode. In standby  
mode, the internal bias regulator is active while the control circuit is disabled. When the voltage exceeds the  
rising threshold of 1.5 V (typical), normal operation begins. Install a resistor divider from VIN to GND to set the  
minimum operating voltage of the regulator. Use Equation 4 and Equation 5 to calculate the input UVLO turn-on  
and turn-off voltages, respectively.

TI recommends selecting RUV1 in the range of 1 MΩ for most applications. A larger RUV1 consumes less DC  
current, which is mandatory if light-load efficiency is critical. If input UVLO is not required, the power-supply  
designer can either drive EN/UVLO as an enable input driven by a logic signal or connect it directly to VIN.  
If EN/UVLO is directly connected to VIN, the regulator begins switching as soon as the internal bias rails are  
active.  
8.3.9 Power Good (PGOOD)  
The LM516x provides a PGOOD flag pin to indicate when the output voltage is within the regulation level.  
Use the PGOOD signal for start-up sequencing of downstream converters or for fault protection and output  
monitoring. PGOOD is an open-drain output that requires a pullup resistor to a DC supply not greater than 14  
V. The typical range of pullup resistance is 10 kΩ to 100 kΩ. If necessary, use a resistor divider to decrease the  
voltage from a higher voltage pullup rail. When the FB voltage exceeds 95% of the internal reference VREF, the  
internal PGOOD switch turns off and PGOOD can be pulled high by the external pullup. If the FB voltage falls  
below 90% of VREF, an internal 7-Ω PGOOD switch turns on and PGOOD is pulled low to indicate that the output  
voltage is out of regulation. The rising edge of PGOOD has a built-in deglitch delay of 5 µs.  
8.3.10 Thermal Protection  
The LM516x includes an internal junction temperature monitor to protect the device in the event of a higher  
than normal junction temperature. If the junction temperature exceeds 175°C (typical), thermal shutdown occurs  
to prevent further power dissipation and temperature rise. The LM516x initiates a restart sequence when  
the junction temperature falls to 165°C, based on a typical thermal shutdown hysteresis of 10°C. This is a  
non-latching protection, so the device cycles into and out of thermal shutdown if the fault persists.

8.4 Device Functional Modes  
8.4.1 Shutdown Mode  
EN/UVLO provides ON and OFF control for the LM516x. When VEN/UVLO is below approximately 0.45 V, the  
device is in shutdown mode. Both the internal linear regulator and the switching regulator are off. The quiescent  
current in shutdown mode drops to 3 µA at VIN = 24 V. The LM516x also employs internal bias rail undervoltage  
protection. If the internal bias supply voltage is below the UV threshold, the regulator remains off.  
8.4.2 Active Mode  
The LM516x is in active mode when VEN/UVLO is above the precision enable threshold and the internal bias rail is  
above its UV threshold. In COT active mode, the LM516x is in one of the following modes depending on the load  
current:  
1. CCM with fixed switching frequency when load current is above half of the peak-to-peak inductor current  
ripple  
2. Auto mode – light load operation: Pulse skipping and diode emulation mode (DEM) when the load current is  
less than half of the peak-to-peak inductor current ripple in CCM operation  
3. FPWM mode – light load operation: Continuous conduction mode (CCM) throughout the entire load current  
range, including when the load current is lower than half of the inductor current ripple  
4. Current limit CCM with peak and valley current limit protection when an overcurrent condition is applied at  
the output  
8.4.3 Sleep Mode  
Section 8.3.1 gives a brief introduction to the LM516x diode emulation (DEM) feature. The converter enters  
DEM during light-load conditions when the inductor current decays to zero and the synchronous MOSFET is  
turned off to prevent negative current in the system. In the DEM state, the load current is lower than half of the  
peak-to-peak inductor current ripple and the switching frequency decreases when the load is further decreased  
as the device operates in a pulse skipping mode. A switching pulse is set when VFB drops below 1.2 V.  
As the frequency of operation decreases and VFB remains above 1.2 V (VREF) with the output capacitor sourcing  
the load current for greater than 15 µs, the converter enters an ultra-low IQ sleep mode to prevent draining  
the input power supply. The input quiescent current (IQ) required by the LM516x decreases to 10 µA in sleep  
mode, improving the light-load efficiency of the regulator. In this mode, all internal controller circuits are turned  
off to ensure very low current consumption by the device. Such low IQ renders the LM516x as the best option to  
extend operating lifetime for off-battery applications. The FB comparator and internal bias rail are active to detect  
when the FB voltage drops below the internal reference VREF and the converter transitions out of sleep mode  
into active mode. There is a 9-µs wake-up delay from sleep to active states.

Note  
In this data sheet, the effective value of capacitance is defined as the actual capacitance under  
D.C. bias and temperature, not the rated or nameplate values. Use high-quality, low ESR, ceramic  
capacitors with an X5R or better dielectric throughout. All high value ceramic capacitors have a  
large voltage coefficient in addition to normal tolerances and temperature effects. Under D.C. bias,  
the capacitance drops considerably. Large case sizes and higher voltage ratings are better in this  
regard. To help mitigate these effects, multiple capacitors can be used in parallel to bring the minimum  
effective capacitance up to the required value. This can also ease the RMS current requirements on  
a single capacitor. A careful study of bias and temperature variation of any capacitor bank must be  
made to ensure that the minimum value of effective capacitance is provided.

The switching frequency of the LM516x is set by the on-time programming resistor connected to the RT pin.  
Equation 6 is used to calculate RT based on the desired switching frequency. For this example of 750 kHz, 33.2

Note that at very low duty cycles, the 50-ns minimum controllable on time of the high-side MOSFET, tON(min)  
,
limits the maximum switching frequency. In CCM, tON(min) limits the voltage conversion step-down ratio for a  
given switching frequency. Use Equation 7 to calculate the minimum controllable duty cycle.  
DMIN = tON(min) ∂FSW

Ultimately, the choice of switching frequency for a given output voltage affects the available input voltage range,  
solution size, and efficiency. Use Equation 8 to calculate the maximum supply voltage for a given tON(min) to  
maintain the full switching frequency.

9.2.2.2 Transformer Selection  
For this fly-buck application, a coupled inductor (sometimes called a transformer) is required. The first step is to  
decide upon the turns ratio. In a fly-buck, the secondary output voltage is slightly less than the reflected primary  
output voltage scaled by the turns ratio. Equation 9 can be used to calculate the turns ratio for a given VOUT1  
and VOUT2. The nearest integer ratio should be selected. VOUT2 will be slightly less than calculated due to the  
secondary diode drop and other parasitic voltage drops in the secondary. Also, keep in mind that the secondary  
voltage is not fed back to the controller, and is, therefore, not well regulated. For this example, it is required that  
VOUT2 is equal to VOUT1, therefore, use a 1:1 turns ratio.

Next, the primary inductance must be calculated. This is the same as calculating the inductance for an ordinary  
buck regulator, and is based on the desired primary ripple current. Typically, a ripple current of between 20% and  
40% of the primary current is used. Equation 10 gives the primary current in a fly-buck and Equation 11 gives  
the required primary inductance. Using an input voltage of 24 V and the other parameters in Table 9-2, the user  
arrives at a value of 38 μH. A standard value of 33 μH for this example is selected. Although the inductance  
can be selected based on the maximum input voltage and lower values of K, a somewhat smaller value of  
inductance is used in this example to save space on the PCB.

Finally, the maximum currents in the transformer must be checked. A transformer with a saturation current equal  
to or greater than the device current limit must be selected. Also, the maximum primary current, and, therefore,  
the output current, is limited by the current limit if the device. Equation 12 can be used to calculate the maximum  
output current for a given inductance and application parameters.  
The magnitude of the ripple current and peak current in the transformer are required to select the output  
capacitors. These are calculated using Equation 13 and Equation 14, respectively.

9.2.2.3 Output Capacitor Selection  
The primary output capacitor, COUT1, can be selected using either Equation 15 or Equation 16. For this design,  
an output voltage ripple of 5 mV and a load transient of 0.2 V is used. From this, a ripple current of 0.34 A at 60  
V input, and a peak transformer current of 0.77 A at full load is calculated. The two output capacitor equations  
give values of 11 μF and 5 μF. Because of the large derating of ceramic capacitors, COUT1 = 1 × 22 μF is used.  
Keep in mind that the equations give the minimum capacitance value and in no case should the capacitance of  
COUT1 be less than 2.2 μF. More output capacitance can be used to improve load transient response. Also note  
that when using type III ripple injection, the actual ripple voltage appearing on the output can be kept small.

for COUT2 is selected. Again, the equation gives the minimum capacitance value and in no case should the  
capacitance of COUT2 be less than 2.2 μF.

Both output capacitors should be X7R ceramics in a 1206 or 1210 case size, and rated for at least twice the  
output voltage.  
9.2.2.4 Secondary Output Diode  
The secondary output diode must block the maximum input voltage reflected to the secondary by the transformer  
turns ratio. Equation 18 is used to determine the maximum reverse voltage on the diode. For this example, a  
value of 70 V is calculated and a 100-V diode is chosen. The diode current rating should be at least equal to  
the secondary output current with an appropriate factor of safety. Schottky diodes are the best choice for this  
application. Ultra-fast recovery diodes can also be used. In any case, choose a diode with the lowest turn-off  
time.

9.2.2.5 Regulation Comparator  
The LM516x voltage regulation loop regulates the output voltage by maintaining the FB voltage equal to the  
internal reference voltage, VREF = 1.2 V (typical). A resistor divider programs the ratio from the output voltage  
VOUT1 to VREF  
.
Equation 19 is used to calculate RFBT based on a selected RFBB  
.

TI recommends selecting RFBB in the range of 10 kΩ to 1 MΩ for most applications. A larger RFBB consumes  
less DC current, which is mandatory if light-load efficiency is critical. RFBB larger than 1 MΩ is not recommended  
as the feedback path becomes more susceptible to noise. For this example, RFBB = 61.9 kΩ is chosen. This  
gives RFBT = 453 kΩ. It is important to route the feedback trace away from the noisy area of the PCB and keep  
the feedback resistors close to the FB pin.  
Note that in some schematics, the user may see RFB1 and RFB2; the correlation is as follows: RFB1 = RFBB and  
RFB2 = RFBT  
.
9.2.2.6 Input Capacitor  
The ceramic input capacitors provide a low impedance source to the regulator in addition to supplying the ripple  
current and isolating switching noise from other circuits. A minimum of 2.2 µF of ceramic capacitance is required  
on the input of the LM516x regulator, connected directly between VIN and GND. This must be rated for at  
least the maximum input voltage that the application requires; preferably twice the maximum input voltage. This  
capacitance can be increased to help reduce input voltage ripple and maintain the input voltage during load

transients. More input capacitance is required for larger output currents. Keep in mind that the value of 2.2  
µF is the actual value after all derating is applied. For this example, 4 × 1-µF, 100-V, X7R (or better) ceramic  
capacitors are chosen due to voltage derating. If larger case size, higher voltage capacitors, or both can be  
used, then the total number may be reduced.  
Many times, it is desirable to use an electrolytic capacitor on the input in parallel with the ceramics. This is  
especially true if long leads or traces (greater than about 5 cm) are used to connect the input supply to the  
regulator. The moderate ESR of this capacitor can help damp any ringing on the input supply caused by the  
long power leads. The use of this additional capacitor also helps with voltage dips caused by input supplies with  
unusually high impedance.  
Most of the input switching current passes through the ceramic input capacitor or capacitors. Use Equation 20  
to calculate the approximate RMS current. This value must be checked against the manufacturers' maximum  
ratings.

9.2.2.7 Type-3 Ripple Network  
A Type-3 ripple generation network uses an RC filter consisting of RA and CA across SW and VOUT1 to generate  
a triangular ramp that is in phase with the inductor current. This triangular ramp is then AC-coupled into the  
feedback node through capacitor CB. Type-3 ripple injection is suited for applications where low output voltage  
ripple is crucial, and is chosen for this example.  
Equation 21 is used to calculate CA. With the values used in this example, CA > 245 pF. A value of 3300 pF is  
selected to keep RA within practical limits. In general, the user needs 20 mV of ripple at the feedback pin for  
reliable operation, calculated at nominal input voltage. The minimum value of ripple should not be less than 12  
mV at minimum input voltage. Using Equation 22 with nominal input voltage, a value of RA > 117 kΩ was found  
and a value of 118 kΩ is selected.

While the magnitude of the generated ripple does not affect the output voltage ripple, it produces a DC error  
of approximately half the amplitude of the generated ripple, scaled by the feedback divider ratio. Therefore, the  
amount of DC offset, tolerable in the output voltage, imposes an upper bound on the feedback ripple.  
Finally, Equation 23 is used to calculate the coupling capacitance CB. In the equation, TR is the approximate  
settling time of the control loop to a load transient disturbance. This was taken as 50 μs.

In this example, a value of > 37 pF was calculated for CB and a value of 56 pF is selected. This value avoids  
excessive coupling capacitor discharge by the feedback resistors during sleep intervals when operating at light  
loads.  
9.2.2.8 Minimum Secondary Output Load  
The secondary output should have a "dummy" load connected at all times to prevent the output voltage from  
rising too high under certain conditions. Since the secondary output is not tightly regulated by the control

loop, and because of transformer and diode parasitics, COUT2 can charge to high levels unless the energy is  
dissipated in the secondary output load. In this example, a 1-kΩ resistor is used as a minimum load on the  
secondary output. A Zener diode can also be used to clamp the secondary output voltage, if desired.  
9.2.2.9 Example Design Summary  
The preceding design procedure is typical of the steps needed to create a fly-buck regulator with LM516x.  
Please see the LM5169FQEVM User's Guide for a more detailed BOM example. Also, the Designing an Isolated  
Fly-buck Converter Using the LMR36520 Application Note provides more information about designing fly-buck  
power stages.  
9.2.2.10 Thermal Considerations  
As with any power conversion device, the LM516x dissipates internal power while operating. The effect of  
this power dissipation is to raise the internal temperature of the converter above ambient. The internal die  
temperature (TJ) is a function of the following:  
•
•
•
•
Ambient temperature  
Power loss  
Effective thermal resistance, RθJA, of the device  
PCB combination  
The maximum internal die temperature for the LM516x must be limited to 150°C. This establishes a limit on  
the maximum device power dissipation and, therefore, the load current. Equation 24 shows the relationships  
between the important parameters. It is easy to see that larger ambient temperatures (TA) and larger values  
of RθJA reduce the maximum available output current. The converter efficiency can be estimated by using  
the curves provided in this data sheet. Note that these curves include the power loss in the inductor. If the  
desired operating conditions cannot be found in one of the curves, then interpolation can be used to estimate  
the efficiency. Alternatively, the EVM can be adjusted to match the desired application requirements and the  
efficiency can be measured directly. The correct value of RθJA is more difficult to estimate. As stated in the  
Semiconductor and IC Package Thermal Metrics Application Report, the value of RθJA given in the Thermal  
Information is not valid for design purposes and must not be used to estimate the thermal performance of the  
application. The values reported in that table were measured under a specific set of conditions that are rarely  
obtained in an actual application. The data given for RθJC(bott) and ΨJT can be useful when determining thermal  
performance. See the Semiconductor and IC Package Thermal Metrics Application Report for more information  
and the resources given at the end of this section.

The effective RθJA is a critical parameter and depends on many factors such as the following:

Power dissipation

PCB area  
Copper heat-sink area  
Number of thermal vias under the package  
Adjacent component placement  
The LM501x features a die attach paddle, or "thermal pad" (EP), to provide a place to solder down to the PCB  
heat-sinking copper. This provides a good heat conduction path from the regulator junction to the heat sink and  
must be properly soldered to the PCB heat sink copper. Typical examples of RΘJA can be found in Figure 9-2.  
The copper area given in the graph is for each layer. The top and bottom layers are 2-oz. copper each, while the  
inner layers are 1 oz. Remember that the data given in this graph is for illustration purposes only, and the actual  
performance in any given application depends on all of the previously mentioned factors.

Copper Area (cm2)  
Figure 9-2. Typical RΘJA Versus Copper Area  
To continue with the design example, assume that the user has an ambient temperature of 70ºC and wishes  
to estimate the required copper area to keep the device junction temperature below 125ºC, at full load. From  
the curves in Section 9.2.3, an efficiency of about 92% was found at an input voltage of 48-V with output of  
12-V with 1.75-A load. The efficiency will be somewhat less at high junction temperatures, so an efficiency of  
approximately 90% is assumed. This gives a total loss of about 2.3 W. Subtracting out the conduction loss alone  
for the inductor and catch diode, the user arrives at a device dissipation of about 1.54 W. With this information,  
the user can calculate the required RθJA of about 30ºC/W. Based on Figure 9-2, the required copper area is  
about 40-cm2, for a two-layer PCB.  
Engineering best judgment is to be used if utilzing a lossy inductor and/or diode in the application, as their  
large losses may contribute to localized heating of the component, as well, the nearby regulator. As an example,  
biasing the schottky diode (DSW) with 1.3-A continous current (average current for 1.75-A load current) results  
in approximately 10°C rise in the case temperature of the regulator. This should be "buffered" for in the ambient  
temperature used in the previous calculation. For more details on these calculations, please see the PCB  
Thermal Design Tips for Automotive DC/DC Converters Application Note.

10 Power Supply Recommendations  
The LM516x buck converter is designed to operate from a wide input voltage range between 6 V and 120 V. The  
characteristics of the input supply must be compatible with the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Recommended  
Operating Conditions tables. In addition, the input supply must be capable of delivering the required input current  
to the fully loaded regulator. Use Equation 25 to estimate the average input current.  
VOUT ∂IOUT  
IIN  
=
V ∂ h  
IN  
(25)  
where  
•
η = efficiency  
If the converter is connected to an input supply through long wires or PCB traces with a large impedance,  
take special care to achieve stable performance. The parasitic inductance and resistance of the input cables  
can have an adverse affect on converter operation. The parasitic inductance in combination with the low-ESR  
ceramic input capacitors form an under-damped resonant circuit. This circuit can cause overvoltage transients  
at VIN each time the input supply is cycled ON and OFF. The parasitic resistance causes the input voltage to  
dip during a load transient. If the converter is operating close to the minimum input voltage, this dip can cause  
false UVLO fault triggering and a system reset. The best way to solve such issues is to reduce the distance from  
the input supply to the regulator and use an aluminum electrolytic input capacitor in parallel with the ceramics.  
The moderate ESR of the electrolytic capacitor helps to damp the input resonant circuit and reduce any voltage  
overshoots. A 10-μF electrolytic capacitor with a typical ESR of 0.5 Ω provides enough damping for most input  
circuit configurations.  
An EMI input filter is often used in front of the regulator that, unless carefully designed, can lead to instability as  
well as some of the effects mentioned above. The Simple Success with Conducted EMI for DC-DC Converters  
Application Report provides helpful suggestions when designing an input filter for any switching regulator.

11 Layout  
11.1 Layout Guidelines  
PCB layout is a critical portion of good power supply design. There are several paths that conduct high slew-rate  
currents or voltages that can interact with stray inductance or parasitic capacitance to generate noise and EMI or  
degrade the power supply performance.  
•
To help eliminate these problems, bypass the VIN pin to GND with a low-ESR ceramic bypass capacitor with  
a high-quality dielectric. Place CIN as close as possible to the LM516x VIN and GND pins. Grounding for both  
the input and output capacitors must consist of localized top-side planes that connect to the GND pin and  
GND PAD.  
•
•
Minimize the loop area formed by the input capacitor connections to the VIN and GND pins.  
Locate the inductor close to the SW pin. Minimize the area of the SW trace or plane to prevent excessive  
capacitive coupling.  
•
•
•
Tie the GND pin directly to the power pad under the device and to a heat-sinking PCB ground plane.  
Use a ground plane in one of the middle layers as a noise shielding and heat dissipation path.  
Have a single-point ground connection to the plane. Route the ground connections for the feedback, and  
enable components to the ground plane. This prevents any switched or load currents from flowing in analog  
ground traces. If not properly handled, poor grounding results in degraded load regulation or erratic output  
voltage ripple behavior.  
•
•
Make VIN, VOUT, and ground bus connections as wide as possible. This reduces any voltage drops on the  
input or output paths of the converter and maximizes efficiency.  
Minimize trace length to the FB pin. Place both feedback resistors, RFB1 and RFB2, close to the FB pin. Place  
CFF (if used) directly in parallel with RFB1. If output set-point accuracy at the load is important, connect the  
VOUT sense at the load. Route the VOUT sense path away from noisy nodes and preferably through a layer on  
the other side of a grounded shielding layer.  
•
•
The RT pin is sensitive to noise. Thus, locate the RT resistor as close as possible to the device and route with  
minimal lengths of trace. The parasitic capacitance from RT to GND must not exceed 20 pF.  
Provide adequate heat sinking for the LM516x to keep the junction temperature below 150°C. For operation  
at full rated load, the top-side ground plane is an important heat-dissipating area. Use an array of heat-  
sinking vias to connect the exposed pad to the PCB ground plane. If the PCB has multiple copper layers,  
these thermal vias must also be connected to inner layer heat-spreading ground planes.  
11.1.1 Compact PCB Layout for EMI Reduction  
Radiated EMI generated by high di/dt components relates to pulsing currents in switching converters. The larger  
the area covered by the path of a pulsing current, the more electromagnetic emission is generated. The key  
to minimizing radiated EMI is to identify the pulsing current path and minimize the area of that path. Figure  
11-1 denotes the critical switching loop of the buck converter power stage in terms of EMI. The topological  
architecture of a buck converter means that a particularly high di/dt current path exists in the loop comprising the  
input capacitor and the integrated MOSFETs of the LM516x, and it becomes mandatory to reduce the parasitic  
inductance of this loop by minimizing the effective loop area.

The input capacitor provides the primary path for the high di/dt components of the current of the high-side  
MOSFET. Placing a ceramic capacitor as close as possible to the VIN and GND pins is the key to EMI reduction.  
Keep the trace connecting SW to the inductor as short as possible and just wide enough to carry the load  
current without excessive heating. Use short, thick traces or copper pours (shapes) for current conduction path  
to minimize parasitic resistance. Place the output capacitor close to the VOUT side of the inductor, and connect  
the return terminal of the capacitor to the GND pin and exposed PAD of the LM516x.  
11.1.2 Feedback Resistors  
Reduce noise sensitivity of the output voltage feedback path by placing the resistor divider close to the FB pin,  
rather than close to the load. This reduces the trace length of FB signal and noise coupling. The FB pin is the  
input to the feedback comparator, and as such, is a high impedance node sensitive to noise. The output node is  
a low impedance node, so the trace from VOUT to the resistor divider can be long if a short path is not available.  
Route the voltage sense trace from the load to the feedback resistor divider, keeping away from the SW node,  
the inductor, and VIN to avoid contaminating the feedback signal with switch noise, while also minimizing the  
trace length. This is most important when high feedback resistances greater than 100 kΩ are used to set the  
output voltage. Also, route the voltage sense trace on a different layer from the inductor, SW node, and VIN so  
there is a ground plane that separates the feedback trace from the inductor and SW node copper polygon. This  
provides further shielding for the voltage feedback path from switching noise sources.

12.6 Electrostatic Discharge Caution  
This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled  
with appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.  
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may  
be more susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published  
specifications.

(1) The marketing status values are defined as follows:  
ACTIVE: Product device recommended for new designs.  
LIFEBUY: TI has announced that the device will be discontinued, and a lifetime-buy period is in effect.  
NRND: Not recommended for new designs. Device is in production to support existing customers, but TI does not recommend using this part in a new design.  
PREVIEW: Device has been announced but is not in production. Samples may or may not be available.  
OBSOLETE: TI has discontinued the production of the device.  
(2) RoHS: TI defines "RoHS" to mean semiconductor products that are compliant with the current EU RoHS requirements for all 10 RoHS substances, including the requirement that RoHS substance  
do not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, "RoHS" products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes. TI may  
reference these types of products as "Pb-Free".  
RoHS Exempt: TI defines "RoHS Exempt" to mean products that contain lead but are compliant with EU RoHS pursuant to a specific EU RoHS exemption.  
Green: TI defines "Green" to mean the content of Chlorine (Cl) and Bromine (Br) based flame retardants meet JS709B low halogen requirements of <=1000ppm threshold. Antimony trioxide based  
flame retardants must also meet the <=1000ppm threshold requirement.  
(3) MSL, Peak Temp. - The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder temperature.  
(4) There may be additional marking, which relates to the logo, the lot trace code information, or the environmental category on the device.  
(5) Multiple Device Markings will be inside parentheses. Only one Device Marking contained in parentheses and separated by a "~" will appear on a device. If a line is indented then it is a continuation  
of the previous line and the two combined represent the entire Device Marking for that device.  
(6)  
Lead finish/Ball material - Orderable Devices may have multiple material finish options. Finish options are separated by a vertical ruled line. Lead finish/Ball material values may wrap to two  
lines if the finish value exceeds the maximum column width.
