3 Description

The LM5177 is a four switch buck-boost controller.

The device provides a regulated output voltage if

the input voltage is higher, equal, or lower than the

adjusted output voltage. In power safe mode, the

device supports high efficiency with low output loads

due to its low quiescence currents. The LM5177

runs at a fixed switching frequency, which can be

set through the RT or SYNC pin. The switching

frequency remains the same during buck, boost, and

buck-boost operation. The integrated and optional

average current monitor can help monitor and limit

input and output current of the LM5177. This feature

also supports charging backup power elements, like

batteries or capacitors, with constant current (CC) and

constant voltage (CV).
