LM5009A
100V, 150 mA Constant On-Time Buck Switching Regulator
General Description
Features
The LM5009A is a functional variant of the LM5009 COT Buck
Switching Regulator. The functional differences of the
LM5009A are: The minimum input operating voltage is 6 volts,
the on-time equation is slightly different, and the requirement
for a minimum load current is removed.
The LM5009A Step Down Switching Regulator features all of
the functions needed to implement a low cost, efficient, Buck
bias regulator. This high voltage regulator contains an 100 V
N-Channel Buck Switch. The device is easy to implement and
is provided in the MSOP-8 and the thermally enhanced LLP-8
packages. The regulator is based on a control scheme using
an ON time inversely proportional to VIN. This feature allows
the operating frequency to remain relatively constant. The
control scheme requires no loop compensation. An intelligent
current limit is implemented with forced OFF time, which is
inversely proportional to Vout. This scheme ensures short
circuit control while providing minimum foldback. Other features include: Thermal Shutdown, VCC under-voltage lockout,
Gate drive under-voltage lockout, Max Duty Cycle limiter, and
a pre-charge switch.

LM5009A
Block Diagram
30087110
The LM5009A operates in discontinuous conduction mode at
light load currents, and continuous conduction mode at heavy
load current. In discontinuous conduction mode, current
through the output inductor starts at zero and ramps up to a
peak during the on-time, then ramps back to zero before the
end of the off-time. The next on-time period starts when the
voltage at FB falls below the internal reference - until then the
inductor current remains zero. In this mode the operating frequency is lower than in continuous conduction mode, and
varies with load current. Therefore at light loads the conversion efficiency is maintained, since the switching losses reduce with the reduction in load and frequency. The discontinuous operating frequency can be calculated as follows:
Functional Description
The LM5009A Step Down Switching Regulator features all
the functions needed to implement a low cost, efficient, Buck
bias power converter. This high voltage regulator contains a
100 V N-Channel Buck Switch, is easy to implement and is
provided in the MSOP-8 and the thermally enhanced LLP-8
packages. The regulator is based on a control scheme using
an on-time inversely proportional to VIN. The control scheme
requires no loop compensation. Current limit is implemented
with forced off-time, which is inversely proportional to VOUT.
This scheme ensures short circuit control while providing minimum foldback.
The LM5009A can be applied in numerous applications to efficiently regulate down higher voltages. This regulator is well
suited for 48 Volt Telecom and the new 42V Automotive power bus ranges. Features include: Thermal Shutdown, VCC
under-voltage lockout, Gate drive under-voltage lockout, Max
Duty Cycle limit timer, intelligent current limit off timer, and a
pre-charge switch.
where RL = the load resistance
In continuous conduction mode, current flows continuously
through the inductor and never ramps down to zero. In this
mode the operating frequency is greater than the discontinuous mode frequency and remains relatively constant with load
and line variations. The approximate continuous mode operating frequency can be calculated as follows:
Control Circuit Overview
The LM5009A is a Buck DC-DC regulator that uses a control
scheme in which the on-time varies inversely with line voltage
(VIN). Control is based on a comparator and the on-time oneshot, with the output voltage feedback (FB) compared to an
internal reference (2.5V). If the FB level is below the reference
the buck switch is turned on for a fixed time determined by the
line voltage and a programming resistor (RT). Following the
ON period the switch will remain off for at least the minimum
off-timer period of 300ns. If FB is still below the reference at
that time the switch will turn on again for another on-time period. This will continue until regulation is achieved.

The output voltage (VOUT) is programmed by two external resistors as shown in the Block Diagram. The regulation point
can be calculated as follows:
VOUT = 2.5 x (RFB1 + RFB2) / RFB1
6
For applications where lower output voltage ripple is required
the output can be taken directly from a low ESR output capacitor, as shown in Figure 1. However, R3 slightly degrades
the load regulation.
30087113
FIGURE 1. Low Ripple Output Configuration
response to a step input applied at VIN. C3 must be located
as close as possible to the VCC and RTN pins. In applications
with a relatively high input voltage, power dissipation in the
bias regulator is a concern. An auxiliary voltage of between
7.5V and 14V can be diode connected to the VCC pin to shut
off the VCC regulator, thereby reducing internal power dissipation. The current required into the VCC pin is shown in the
graph “ICC Current vs. Applied VCC Voltage”. Internally a diode
connects VCC to VIN requiring that the auxiliary voltage be
less than VIN.
The turn-on sequence is shown in Figure 2. During the initial
delay (t1) VCC ramps up at a rate determined by its current
limit and C3 while internal circuitry stabilizes. When VCC
reaches the upper threshold of its under-voltage lock-out (UVLO, typically 5.3V) the buckswitch is enabled. The inductor
current increases to the current limit threshold (ILIM) and during t2 VOUT increases as the output capacitor charges up.
When VOUT reaches the intended voltage the average inductor current decreases (t3) to the nominal load current (IO).
Start-Up Regulator (VCC)
The high voltage bias regulator is integrated within the
LM5009A. The input pin (VIN) can be connected directly to
line voltages between 6V and 95V, with transient capability to
100V. Referring to the block diagram and the graph of VCC vs
VIN, when VIN is between 6V and the bypass threshold (nominally 8.5V), the bypass switch (Q2) is on, and VCC tracks
VIN within 100 mV to 150 mV. The bypass switch on-resistance is approximately 100Ω, with inherent current limiting at
approximately 100 mA. When VIN is above the bypass threshold Q2 is turned off, and VCC is regulated at 7V. The VCC
regulator output current is limited at approximately 9.2 mA.
When the LM5009A is shutdown using the RT/SD pin, the
VCC bypass switch is shut off regardless of the voltage at
VIN.
When VIN exceeds the bypass threshold, the time required
for Q2 to shut off is approximately 2 - 3 µs. The capacitor at
VCC (C3) must be a minimum of 0.47 µF to prevent the voltage at VCC from rising above its absolute maximum rating in

LM5009A
The LM5009A regulates the output voltage based on ripple
voltage at the feedback input, requiring a minimum amount of
ESR for the output capacitor C2. A minimum of 25mV to 50mV
of ripple voltage at the feedback pin (FB) is required for the
LM5009A. In cases where the capacitor ESR is too small,
additional series resistance may be required (R3 in the Block
Diagram).
LM5009A
30087114
FIGURE 2. Startup Sequence
Regulation Comparator
On-Time Generator and Shutdown
The feedback voltage at FB is compared to an internal 2.5V
reference. In normal operation (the output voltage is regulated), an on-time period is initiated when the voltage at FB falls
below 2.5V. The buck switch will stay on for the on-time,
causing the FB voltage to rise above 2.5V. After the on-time
period, the buck switch will stay off until the FB voltage again
falls below 2.5V. During start-up, the FB voltage will be below
2.5V at the end of each on-time, resulting in the minimum offtime of 300 ns. Bias current at the FB pin is nominally 100 nA.
The on-time for the LM5009A is determined by the RT resistor,
and is inversely proportional to the input voltage (Vin), resulting in a nearly constant frequency as Vin is varied over its
range. The on-time equation for the LM5009A is:
TON = 1.385 x 10-10 x RT / VIN
Over-Voltage Comparator
The feedback voltage at FB is compared to an internal 2.875V
reference. If the voltage at FB rises above 2.875V the on-time
pulse is immediately terminated. This condition can occur if
the input voltage, or the output load, change suddenly. The
buck switch will not turn on again until the voltage at FB falls
below 2.5V.
www.national.com

RT should be selected for a minimum on-time (at maximum
VIN) greater than 400 ns, for proper current limit operation.
This requirement limits the maximum frequency for each application, depending on VIN and VOUT.
The LM5009A can be remotely disabled by taking the RT/SD
pin to ground. See Figure 3. The voltage at the RT/SD pin is
between 1.5 and 3.0 volts, depending on Vin and the value of
the RT resistor.

The LM5009A should be operated so the junction temperature does not exceed 125°C during normal operation. An
internal Thermal Shutdown circuit is provided to shutdown the
LM5009A in the event of a higher than normal junction temperature. When activated, typically at 165°C, the controller is
forced into a low power reset state by disabling the buck
switch. This feature prevents catastrophic failures from accidental device overheating. When the junction temperature
reduces below 140°C (typical hysteresis = 25°C) normal operation is resumed.

SELECTION OF EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
A guide for determining the component values will be illustrated with a design example. Refer to the Block Diagram. The
following steps will configure the LM5009A for:
• Input voltage range (Vin): 12V to 90V
• Output voltage (VOUT1): 10V
• Load current (for continuous conduction mode): 100 mA
to 150 mA
RFB1, RFB2: VOUT = VFB x (RFB1 + RFB2) / RFB1, and since
VFB = 2.5V, the ratio of RFB2 to RFB1 calculates as 3:1. Standard values of 3.01 kΩ and 1.00 kΩ are chosen. Other values
could be used as long as the 3:1 ratio is maintained.
Fs and RT: The recommended operating frequency range for
the LM5009A is 50 kHz to 1.1 MHz. Unless the application
requires a specific frequency, the choice of frequency is generally a compromise since it affects the size of L1 and C2, and
the switching losses. The maximum allowed frequency,
based on a minimum on-time of 400 ns, is calculated from:
The LM5009A contains an intelligent current limit OFF timer.
If the current in the Buck switch exceeds 0.3A the present
cycle is immediately terminated, and a non-resetable OFF
timer is initiated. The length of off-time is controlled by an external resistor (RCL) and the FB voltage (see the graph Current Limit Off-Time vs. VFB and RCL). When FB = 0V, a
maximum off-time is required, and the time is preset to 35µs.
This condition occurs when the output is shorted, and during
the initial part of start-up. This amount of time ensures safe
short circuit operation up to the maximum input voltage of
95V. In cases of overload where the FB voltage is above zero
volts (not a short circuit) the current limit off-time will be less
than 35µs. Reducing the off-time during less severe overloads reduces the amount of foldback, recovery time, and the
start-up time. The off-time is calculated from the following
equation:
TOFF = 10-5 / (0.285 + (VFB / 6.35 x 10-6 x RCL))
(3)
The current limit sensing circuit is blanked for the first 50-70ns
of each on-time so it is not falsely tripped by the current surge
which occurs at turn-on. The current surge is required by the
re-circulating diode (D1) for its turn-off recovery.
FMAX = VOUT / (VINMAX x 400 ns)
For this exercise, Fmax = 277 kHz. From equation 1, RT calculates to 260 kΩ. A standard value 309 kΩ resistor will be
used to allow for tolerances in equation 1, resulting in a frequency of 234 kHz.
L1: The main parameter affected by the inductor is the output
current ripple amplitude. The choice of inductor value therefore depends on both the minimum and maximum load currents, keeping in mind that the maximum ripple current occurs
at maximum Vin.
a) Minimum load current: To maintain continuous conduction at minimum Io (100 mA), the ripple amplitude (IOR) must
be less than 200 mA p-p so the lower peak of the waveform
does not reach zero. L1 is calculated using the following
equation:
N - Channel Buck Switch and Driver
The LM5009A integrates an N-Channel Buck switch and associated floating high voltage gate driver. The gate driver
circuit works in conjunction with an external bootstrap capacitor and an internal high voltage diode. A 0.01 µF ceramic
capacitor (C4) connected between the BST pin and SW pin
provides the voltage to the driver during the on-time.
During each off-time, the SW pin is at approximately 0V, and
the bootstrap capacitor charges from Vcc through the internal
diode. The minimum OFF timer, set to 300ns, ensures a minimum time each cycle to recharge the bootstrap capacitor.
The internal pre-charge switch at the SW pin is turned on for
≊150 ns during the minimum off-time period, ensuring sufficient voltage exists across the bootstrap capacitor for the ontime. This feature helps prevent operating problems which
can occur during very light load conditions, involving a long
off-time, during which the voltage across the bootstrap capacitor could otherwise reduce below the Gate Drive UVLO
threshold. The pre-charge switch also helps prevent startup
problems which can occur if the output voltage is pre-charged
prior to turn-on. After current limit detection, the pre-charge
switch is turned on for the entire duration of the forced offtime .
At Vin = 90V, L1(min) calculates to 190 µH. The next larger
standard value (220 µH) is chosen and with this value IOR
calculates to 173 mA p-p at Vin = 90V, and 32 mA p-p at Vin
= 12V.
b) Maximum load current: At a load current of 150 mA, the
peak of the ripple waveform must not reach the minimum
guaranteed value of the LM5009A’s current limit threshold
(240 mA). Therefore the ripple amplitude must be less than
180 mA p-p, which is already satisfied in the above calculation. With L1 = 220 µH, at maximum Vin and Io, the peak of
the ripple will be 236 mA. While L1 must carry this peak cur-

Thermal Protection
LM5009A
rent without saturating or exceeding its temperature rating, it
also must be capable of carrying the maximum guaranteed
value of the LM5009A’s current limit threshold (360 mA) without saturating, since the current limit is reached during startup.
The DC resistance of the inductor should be as low as possible to minimize its power loss.
C3: The capacitor on the VCC output provides not only noise
filtering and stability, but its primary purpose is to prevent false
triggering of the VCC UVLO at the buck switch on/off transitions. C3 should be no smaller than 0.47 µF.
C2, and R3: When selecting the output filter capacitor C2, the
items to consider are ripple voltage due to its ESR, ripple
voltage due to its capacitance, and the nature of the load.
ESR and R3: A low ESR for C2 is generally desirable so as
to minimize power losses and heating within the capacitor.
However, the regulator requires a minimum amount of ripple
voltage at the feedback input for proper loop operation. For
the LM5009A the minimum ripple required at pin 5 is 25 mV
p-p, requiring a minimum ripple at VOUT of 100 mV. Since the
minimum ripple current (at minimum Vin) is 32 mA p-p, the
minimum ESR required at VOUT is 100 mV/32 mA = 3.12Ω.
Since quality capacitors for SMPS applications have an ESR
considerably less than this, R3 is inserted as shown in the
Block Diagram. R3’s value, along with C2’s ESR, must result
in at least 25 mV p-p ripple at pin 5. Generally, R3 will be 0.5
to 4.0Ω.
RCL: When current limit is detected, the minimum off-time set
by this resistor must be greater than the maximum normal offtime, which occurs at maximum input voltage. Using Equation
2, the minimum on-time is 476 ns, yielding an off-time of 3.8
µs (at 234 kHz). Due to the 25% tolerance on the on-time, the
off-time tolerance is also 25%, yielding a maximum off-time
of 4.75 µs. Allowing for the response time of the current limit
detection circuit (350 ns) increases the maximum off-time to
5.1 µs. This is increased an additional 25% to 6.4 µs to allow
for the tolerances of Equation 3. Using Equation 3, RCL calculates to 310 kΩ at VFB = 2.5V. A standard value 316 kΩ
resistor will be used.
D1: The important parameters are reverse recovery time and
forward voltage. The reverse recovery time determines how
long the reverse current surge lasts each time the buck switch
is turned on. The forward voltage drop is significant in the
event the output is short-circuited as it is only this diode’s
voltage which forces the inductor current to reduce during the
forced off-time. For this reason, a higher voltage is better, although that affects efficiency. A good choice is a Schottky
power diode, such as the DFLS1100. D1’s reverse voltage
rating must be at least as great as the maximum Vin, and its
current rating be greater than the maximum current limit
threshold (360 mA).
C1: This capacitor’s purpose is to supply most of the switch
current during the on-time, and limit the voltage ripple at Vin,
on the assumption that the voltage source feeding Vin has an
output impedance greater than zero. At maximum load current, when the buck switch turns on, the current into pin 8 will
suddenly increase to the lower peak of the output current
waveform, ramp up to the peak value, then drop to zero at
www.national.com
turn-off. The average input current during this on-time is the
load current (150 mA). For a worst case calculation, C1 must
supply this average load current during the maximum on-time.
To keep the input voltage ripple to less than 2V (for this exercise), C1 calculates to:
Quality ceramic capacitors in this value have a low ESR which
adds only a few millivolts to the ripple. It is the capacitance
which is dominant in this case. To allow for the capacitor’s
tolerance, temperature effects, and voltage effects, a 1.0 µF,
100V, X7R capacitor will be used.
C4: The recommended value is 0.01µF for C4, as this is appropriate in the majority of applications. A high quality ceramic
capacitor, with low ESR is recommended as C4 supplies the
surge current to charge the buck switch gate at turn-on. A low
ESR also ensures a quick recharge during each off-time. At
minimum Vin, when the on-time is at maximum, it is possible
during start-up that C4 will not fully recharge during each 300
ns off-time. The circuit will not be able to complete the startup, and achieve output regulation. This can occur when the
frequency is intended to be low (e.g., RT = 500K). In this case
C4 should be increased so it can maintain sufficient voltage
across the buck switch driver during each on-time.
C5: This capacitor helps avoid supply voltage transients and
ringing due to long lead inductance at VIN. A low ESR, 0.1µF
ceramic chip capacitor is recommended, located close to the
LM5009A.
FINAL CIRCUIT
The final circuit is shown in Figure 4. The circuit was tested,
and the resulting performance is shown in Figure 5 and Figure
6.
PC BOARD LAYOUT
The LM5009A regulation and over-voltage comparators are
very fast, and as such will respond to short duration noise
pulses. Layout considerations are therefore critical for optimum performance. The components at pins 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6
should be as physically close as possible to the IC, thereby
minimizing noise pickup in the PC tracks. The current loop
formed by D1, L1, and C2 should be as small as possible. The
ground connection from D1 to C1 should be as short and direct as possible.
If the internal dissipation of the LM5009A produces excessive
junction temperatures during normal operation, good use of
the pc board’s ground plane can help considerably to dissipate heat. The exposed pad on the bottom of the LLP-8
package can be soldered to a ground plane on the PC board,
and that plane should extend out from beneath the IC to help
dissipate the heat. Additionally, the use of wide PC board
traces, where possible, can also help conduct heat away from
the IC. Judicious positioning of the PC board within the end
product, along with use of any available air flow (forced or
natural convection) can help reduce the junction temperatures.

LOW OUTPUT RIPPLE CONFIGURATIONS
For applications where low output ripple is required, the following options can be used to reduce or nearly eliminate the
ripple.
a) Reduced ripple configuration: In Figure 7, Cff is added
across RFB2 to AC-couple the ripple at VOUT directly to the FB
pin. This allows the ripple at VOUT to be reduced to a minimum
of 25 mVp-p by reducing R3, since the ripple at VOUT is not
attenuated by the feedback resistors. The minimum value for
Cff is determined from:
www.national.com
where tON(max) is the maximum on-time, which occurs at VIN
(min). The next larger standard value capacitor should be used
for Cff.

FIGURE 7. Reduced Ripple Configuration
- Calculate RA x CA = (VIN(min) - VA) x tON/ΔV
b) Minimum ripple configuration: If the application requires
a lower value of ripple (<10 mVp-p), the circuit of Figure 8 can
be used. R3 is removed, and the resulting output ripple voltage is determined by the inductor’s ripple current and C2’s
characteristics. RA and CA are chosen to generate a sawtooth waveform at their junction, and that voltage is ACcoupled to the FB pin via CB. To determine the values for RA,
CA and CB, use the following procedure:
where tON is the maximum on-time (at minimum input voltage), and ΔV is the desired ripple amplitude at the RA/CA
junction (typically 40-50 mV). RA and CA are then chosen
from standard value components to satisfy the above product.
Typically CA is 1000 pF to 5000 pF, and RA is 10 kΩ to 300
kΩ. CB is then chosen large compared to CA, typically 0.1 µF.
Calculate VA = VOUT - (VSW x (1 - (VOUT/VIN(min))))
where VSW is the absolute value of the voltage at the SW pin
during the off-time (typically 1V). VA is the DC voltage at the
RA/CA junction, and is used in the next equation.

c) Alternate minimum ripple configuration: The circuit in
Figure 9 is the same as that in the Block Diagram, except the
output voltage is taken from the junction of R3 and C2. The
ripple at VOUT is determined by the inductor’s ripple current
and C2’s characteristics. However, R3 slightly degrades the
load regulation. This circuit may be suitable if the load current
is fairly constant.
