LMR10510
General Description
The LMR10510 regulator is a monolithic, high frequency,
PWM step-down DC/DC converter in a 5 pin SOT23 and a 6
Pin LLP package. It provides all the active functions to provide
local DC/DC conversion with fast transient response and accurate regulation in the smallest possible PCB area. With a
minimum of external components, the LMR10510 is easy to
use. The ability to drive 1.0A loads with an internal 130 mΩ
PMOS switch results in the best power density available. The
world-class control circuitry allows on-times as low as 30ns,
thus supporting exceptionally high frequency conversion over
the entire 3V to 5.5V input operating range down to the minimum output voltage of 0.6V. The LMR10510 is a constant
frequency PWM buck regulator IC that delivers a 1.0A load
current. The regulator has a preset switching frequency of
1.6MHz or 3.0MHz. This high frequency allows the
LMR10510 to operate with small surface mount capacitors
and inductors, resulting in a DC/DC converter that requires a
minimum amount of board space. The LMR10510 is internally
compensated, so it is simple to use and requires few external
components. Even though the operating frequency is high,
efficiencies up to 93% are easy to achieve. External shutdown
is included, featuring an ultra-low stand-by current of 30 nA.
The LMR10510 utilizes current-mode control and internal
compensation to provide high-performance regulation over a
wide range of operating conditions. Additional features include internal soft-start circuitry to reduce inrush current,
pulse-by-pulse current limit, thermal shutdown, and output
over-voltage protection.
30165666
FIGURE 2. Typical Waveforms
SOFT-START
This function forces VOUT to increase at a controlled rate during start up. During soft-start, the error amplifier’s reference
voltage ramps from 0V to its nominal value of 0.6V in approximately 600 µs. This forces the regulator output to ramp up in
a controlled fashion, which helps reduce inrush current.
OUTPUT OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION
The over-voltage comparator compares the FB pin voltage to
a voltage that is 15% higher than the internal reference
VREF. Once the FB pin voltage goes 15% above the internal
reference, the internal PMOS control switch is turned off,
which allows the output voltage to decrease toward regulation.
Applications Information
THEORY OF OPERATION
The following operating description of the LMR10510 will refer
to the Simplified Block Diagram (Figure 1) and to the waveforms in Figure 2. The LMR10510 supplies a regulated output
voltage by switching the internal PMOS control switch at constant frequency and variable duty cycle. A switching cycle
begins at the falling edge of the reset pulse generated by the
internal oscillator. When this pulse goes low, the output control logic turns on the internal PMOS control switch. During
this on-time, the SW pin voltage (VSW) swings up to approximately VIN, and the inductor current (IL) increases with a linear
slope. IL is measured by the current sense amplifier, which
generates an output proportional to the switch current. The
sense signal is summed with the regulator’s corrective ramp
and compared to the error amplifier’s output, which is proportional to the difference between the feedback voltage and
VREF. When the PWM comparator output goes high, the output switch turns off until the next switching cycle begins.
During the switch off-time, inductor current discharges
through the Schottky catch diode, which forces the SW pin to
swing below ground by the forward voltage (VD) of the Schottky catch diode. The regulator loop adjusts the duty cycle (D)
to maintain a constant output voltage.
www.ti.com
UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT
Under-voltage lockout (UVLO) prevents the LMR10510 from
operating until the input voltage exceeds 2.73V (typ). The
UVLO threshold has approximately 430 mV of hysteresis, so
the part will operate until VIN drops below 2.3V (typ). Hysteresis prevents the part from turning off during power up if VIN is
non-monotonic.
CURRENT LIMIT
The LMR10510 uses cycle-by-cycle current limiting to protect
the output switch. During each switching cycle, a current limit
comparator detects if the output switch current exceeds 1.75A
(typ), and turns off the switch until the next switching cycle
begins.
THERMAL SHUTDOWN
Thermal shutdown limits total power dissipation by turning off
the output switch when the IC junction temperature exceeds
165°C. After thermal shutdown occurs, the output switch
doesn’t turn on until the junction temperature drops to approximately 150°C.

Design Guide
INDUCTOR SELECTION
The Duty Cycle (D) can be approximated quickly using the
ratio of output voltage (VO) to input voltage (VIN):
In general,
ΔiL = 0.1 x (IOUT) → 0.2 x (IOUT)
If ΔiL = 20% of 1A, the peak current in the inductor will be 1.2A.
The minimum guaranteed current limit over all operating conditions is 1.2A. One can either reduce ΔiL, or make the engineering judgment that zero margin will be safe enough. The
typical current limit is 1.75A.
The LMR10510 operates at frequencies allowing the use of
ceramic output capacitors without compromising transient response. Ceramic capacitors allow higher inductor ripple without significantly increasing output ripple. See the output
capacitor section for more details on calculating output voltage ripple. Now that the ripple current is determined, the
inductance is calculated by:
The catch diode (D1) forward voltage drop and the voltage
drop across the internal PMOS must be included to calculate
a more accurate duty cycle. Calculate D by using the following
formula:
VSW can be approximated by:
VSW = IOUT x RDSON
The diode forward drop (VD) can range from 0.3V to 0.7V depending on the quality of the diode. The lower the VD, the
higher the operating efficiency of the converter. The inductor
value determines the output ripple current. Lower inductor
values decrease the size of the inductor, but increase the
output ripple current. An increase in the inductor value will
decrease the output ripple current.
One must ensure that the minimum current limit (1.2A) is not
exceeded, so the peak current in the inductor must be calculated. The peak current (ILPK) in the inductor is calculated by:
Where
When selecting an inductor, make sure that it is capable of
supporting the peak output current without saturating. Inductor saturation will result in a sudden reduction in inductance
and prevent the regulator from operating correctly. Because
of the speed of the internal current limit, the peak current of
the inductor need only be specified for the required maximum
output current. For example, if the designed maximum output
current is 1.0A and the peak current is 1.25A, then the inductor should be specified with a saturation current limit of >
1.25A. There is no need to specify the saturation or peak current of the inductor at the 1.75A typical switch current limit.
The difference in inductor size is a factor of 5. Because of the
operating frequency of the LMR10510, ferrite based inductors
are preferred to minimize core losses. This presents little restriction since the variety of ferrite-based inductors is huge.
Lastly, inductors with lower series resistance (RDCR) will pro-

tances in the inductor to the output. A ceramic capacitor will
bypass this noise while a tantalum will not. Since the output
capacitor is one of the two external components that control
the stability of the regulator control loop, most applications will
require a minimum of 22 µF of output capacitance. Capacitance often, but not always, can be increased significantly
with little detriment to the regulator stability. Like the input capacitor, recommended multilayer ceramic capacitors are X7R
or X5R types.
vide better operating efficiency. For recommended inductors
see Example Circuits.
INPUT CAPACITOR
An input capacitor is necessary to ensure that VIN does not
drop excessively during switching transients. The primary
specifications of the input capacitor are capacitance, voltage,
RMS current rating, and ESL (Equivalent Series Inductance).
The recommended input capacitance is 22 µF.The input voltage rating is specifically stated by the capacitor manufacturer.
Make sure to check any recommended deratings and also
verify if there is any significant change in capacitance at the
operating input voltage and the operating temperature. The
input capacitor maximum RMS input current rating (IRMS-IN)
must be greater than:
CATCH DIODE
The catch diode (D1) conducts during the switch off-time. A
Schottky diode is recommended for its fast switching times
and low forward voltage drop. The catch diode should be
chosen so that its current rating is greater than:
ID1 = IOUT x (1-D)
The reverse breakdown rating of the diode must be at least
the maximum input voltage plus appropriate margin. To improve efficiency, choose a Schottky diode with a low forward
voltage drop.
Neglecting inductor ripple simplifies the above equation to:
OUTPUT VOLTAGE
The output voltage is set using the following equation where
R2 is connected between the FB pin and GND, and R1 is
connected between VO and the FB pin. A good value for R2
is 10kΩ. When designing a unity gain converter (Vo = 0.6V),
R1 should be between 0Ω and 100Ω, and R2 should be equal
or greater than 10kΩ.
It can be shown from the above equation that maximum RMS
capacitor current occurs when D = 0.5. Always calculate the
RMS at the point where the duty cycle D is closest to 0.5. The
ESL of an input capacitor is usually determined by the effective cross sectional area of the current path. A large leaded
capacitor will have high ESL and a 0805 ceramic chip capacitor will have very low ESL. At the operating frequencies of the
LMR10510, leaded capacitors may have an ESL so large that
the resulting impedance (2πfL) will be higher than that required to provide stable operation. As a result, surface mount
capacitors are strongly recommended.
Sanyo POSCAP, Tantalum or Niobium, Panasonic SP, and
multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) are all good choices for
both input and output capacitors and have very low ESL. For
MLCCs it is recommended to use X7R or X5R type capacitors
due to their tolerance and temperature characteristics. Consult capacitor manufacturer datasheets to see how rated
capacitance varies over operating conditions.
VREF = 0.60V
PCB LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
When planning layout there are a few things to consider when
trying to achieve a clean, regulated output. The most important consideration is the close coupling of the GND connections of the input capacitor and the catch diode D1. These
ground ends should be close to one another and be connected to the GND plane with at least two through-holes. Place
these components as close to the IC as possible. Next in importance is the location of the GND connection of the output
capacitor, which should be near the GND connections of CIN
and D1. There should be a continuous ground plane on the
bottom layer of a two-layer board except under the switching
node island. The FB pin is a high impedance node and care
should be taken to make the FB trace short to avoid noise
pickup and inaccurate regulation. The feedback resistors
should be placed as close as possible to the IC, with the GND
of R1 placed as close as possible to the GND of the IC. The
VOUT trace to R2 should be routed away from the inductor and
any other traces that are switching. High AC currents flow
through the VIN, SW and VOUT traces, so they should be as
short and wide as possible. However, making the traces wide
increases radiated noise, so the designer must make this
trade-off. Radiated noise can be decreased by choosing a
shielded inductor. The remaining components should also be
placed as close as possible to the IC. Please see Application
Note AN-1229 for further considerations and the LMR10510
demo board as an example of a good layout.
OUTPUT CAPACITOR
The output capacitor is selected based upon the desired output ripple and transient response. The initial current of a load
transient is provided mainly by the output capacitor. The output ripple of the converter is:
When using MLCCs, the ESR is typically so low that the capacitive ripple may dominate. When this occurs, the output
ripple will be approximately sinusoidal and 90° phase shifted
from the switching action. Given the availability and quality of
MLCCs and the expected output voltage of designs using the
LMR10510, there is really no need to review any other capacitor technologies. Another benefit of ceramic capacitors is
their ability to bypass high frequency noise. A certain amount
of switching edge noise will couple through parasitic capaci-

If the inductor ripple current is fairly small, the conduction
losses can be simplified to:
The complete LMR10510 DC/DC converter efficiency can be
calculated in the following manner.
Switching losses are also associated with the internal PFET.
They occur during the switch on and off transition periods,
where voltages and currents overlap resulting in power loss.
The simplest means to determine this loss is to empirically
measuring the rise and fall times (10% to 90%) of the switch
at the switch node.
Switching Power Loss is calculated as follows:
PCOND = IOUT2 x RDSON x D
Or
PSWR = 1/2(VIN x IOUT x FSW x TRISE)
PSWF = 1/2(VIN x IOUT x FSW x TFALL)
PSW = PSWR + PSWF
Another loss is the power required for operation of the internal
circuitry:
Calculations for determining the most significant power losses are shown below. Other losses totaling less than 2% are
not discussed.
Power loss (PLOSS) is the sum of two basic types of losses in
the converter: switching and conduction. Conduction losses
usually dominate at higher output loads, whereas switching
losses remain relatively fixed and dominate at lower output
loads. The first step in determining the losses is to calculate
the duty cycle (D):
PQ = IQ x VIN
IQ is the quiescent operating current, and is typically around
3.3mA for the 1.6MHz frequency option.
Typical Application power losses are:
Power Loss Tabulation
VSW is the voltage drop across the internal PFET when it is
on, and is equal to:
VSW = IOUT x RDSON
VD is the forward voltage drop across the Schottky catch
diode. It can be obtained from the diode manufactures Electrical Characteristics section. If the voltage drop across the

Thermal Definitions
The conduction losses in the free-wheeling Schottky diode
are calculated as follows:
TJ = Chip junction temperature
TA = Ambient temperature
RθJC = Thermal resistance from chip junction to device case
RθJA = Thermal resistance from chip junction to ambient air
Heat in the LMR10510 due to internal power dissipation is
removed through conduction and/or convection.
Conduction: Heat transfer occurs through cross sectional areas of material. Depending on the material, the transfer of
heat can be considered to have poor to good thermal conductivity properties (insulator vs. conductor).
Heat Transfer goes as:
Silicon → package → lead frame → PCB
Convection: Heat transfer is by means of airflow. This could
be from a fan or natural convection. Natural convection occurs
when air currents rise from the hot device to cooler air.
Thermal impedance is defined as:
PDIODE = VD x IOUT x (1-D)
Often this is the single most significant power loss in the circuit. Care should be taken to choose a Schottky diode that
has a low forward voltage drop.
Another significant external power loss is the conduction loss
in the output inductor. The equation can be simplified to:
PIND = IOUT2 x RDCR
The LMR10510 conduction loss is mainly associated with the
internal PFET:

LMR10510 is shown below.
A sample PCB is placed in an oven with no forced airflow. The
ambient temperature was raised to 147°C, and at that temperature, the device went into thermal shutdown.
From the previous example:
The PCB size, weight of copper used to route traces and
ground plane, and number of layers within the PCB can greatly effect RθJA. The type and number of thermal vias can also
make a large difference in the thermal impedance. Thermal
vias are necessary in most applications. They conduct heat
from the surface of the PCB to the ground plane. Four to six
thermal vias should be placed under the exposed pad to the
ground plane if the LLP package is used.
Thermal impedance also depends on the thermal properties
of the application operating conditions (Vin, Vo, Io etc), and
the surrounding circuitry.
Silicon Junction Temperature Determination Method 1:
To accurately measure the silicon temperature for a given
application, two methods can be used. The first method requires the user to know the thermal impedance of the silicon
junction to case temperature.
RθJC is approximately 18°C/Watt for the 6-pin LLP package
with the exposed pad. Knowing the internal dissipation from
the efficiency calculation given previously, and the case temperature, which can be empirically measured on the bench
we have:
PINTERNAL = 149 mW
Since the junction temperature must be kept below 125°C,
then the maximum ambient temperature can be calculated as:
Tj - (RθJA x PLOSS) = TA
125°C - (121°C/W x 149 mW) = 107°C
LLP Package
where TC is the temperature of the exposed pad and can be
measured on the bottom side of the PCB.
Therefore:

FIGURE 5. Internal LLP Connection
Tj = (RθJC x PLOSS) + TC
For certain high power applications, the PCB land may be
modified to a "dog bone" shape (see Figure 6). By increasing
the size of ground plane, and adding thermal vias, the RθJA
for the application can be reduced.
From the previous example:
Tj = (RθJC x PINTERNAL) + TC
Tj = 18°C/W x 0.149W + TC
The second method can give a very accurate silicon junction
temperature.
The first step is to determine RθJA of the application. The
LMR10510 has over-temperature protection circuitry. When
the silicon temperature reaches 165°C, the device stops
switching. The protection circuitry has a hysteresis of about
15°C. Once the silicon temperature has decreased to approximately 150°C, the device will start to switch again. Knowing
this, the RθJA for any application can be characterized during
the early stages of the design one may calculate the RθJA by
placing the PCB circuit into a thermal chamber. Raise the
ambient temperature in the given working application until the
circuit enters thermal shutdown. If the SW-pin is monitored, it
will be obvious when the internal PFET stops switching, indicating a junction temperature of 165°C. Knowing the internal
power dissipation from the above methods, the junction temperature, and the ambient temperature RθJA can be determined.
