3 Description

The LM5176 is a synchronous four-switch buck-boost

DC/DC controller capable of regulating the output

voltage at, above, or below the input voltage. The

LM5176 operates over a wide input voltage range of

4.2 V to 55 V (60-V absolute maximum) to support a

variety of applications.

The LM5176 uses current-mode control both in

buck and boost modes of operation for superior

load and line regulation. The switching frequency

is programmed by an external resistor and can be

synchronized to an external clock signal.

The device also features a programmable soft-start

function and offers protection features including cycleby-

cycle current limiting, input undervoltage lockout

(UVLO), output overvoltage protection (OVP), and

thermal shutdown. In addition, the LM5176 features

optional average input or output current limiting,

optional spread spectrum to reduce peak EMI, and

optional hiccup mode protection in sustained overload

conditions.
