DESCRIPTION

The LM5116 is a synchronous buck controller intended for step-down regulator applications from a high voltage

or widely varying input supply. The control method is based upon current mode control utilizing an emulated

current ramp. Current mode control provides inherent line feed-forward, cycle by cycle current limiting and ease

of loop compensation. The use of an emulated control ramp reduces noise sensitivity of the pulse-width

modulation circuit, allowing reliable control of very small duty cycles necessary in high input voltage applications.

The operating frequency is programmable from 50 kHz to 1 MHz. The LM5116 drives external high-side and lowside

NMOS power switches with adaptive dead-time control. A user-selectable diode emulation mode enables

discontinuous mode operation for improved efficiency at light load conditions. A low quiescent current shutdown

disables the controller and consumes less than 10 μA of total input current. Additional features include a high

voltage bias regulator, automatic switch-over to external bias for improved efficiency, thermal shutdown,

frequency synchronization, cycle by cycle current limit and adjustable line under-voltage lockout.
