3 Description

The LM25137 is a 42V synchronous buck DC/DC

controller offered from a family with three options for

functional safety: Capable, SIL 2, and SIL 3. The

device uses an interleaved, stackable, peak currentmode

architecture for easy loop compensation, fast

transient response, excellent load and line regulation,

and accurate current sharing with paralleled phases

for high output current.

A high-side switch minimum on-time of 22ns facilitates

large step-down ratios, enabling the direct conversion

from 12V and 24V inputs to low-voltage rails for

reduced system design cost and complexity. The

LM25137 continues to operate during input voltage

dips as low as 4V, at 100% duty cycle if needed.

The 1.5μA sleep quiescent current with the output

voltage in regulation extends operating run-time in

battery-powered systems.
