The constant-on-time control scheme requires no loop compensation and supports high step-down ratios with fast transient response. An internal feedback amplifier maintains ±1% output voltage regulation over the entire operating temperature range. The on-time varies inversely with input voltage resulting in nearly constant switching frequency. Peak and valley current limit circuits protect against overload conditions. The undervoltage lockout (EN/UVLO) circuit provides independently adjustable input under-voltage threshold and hysteresis. The LM5160 is programmed through the FPWM pin to operate in continuous conduction mode (CCM) from no load to full load or to automatically switch to discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) at light load for higher efficiency. Forced CCM operation supports multiple output and isolated Fly-Buck applications using a coupled inductor. 1 • • • • • • • • • • • • • Wide 4.5-V to 65-V Input Voltage Range Integrated High and Low Side Switches – No Schottky Diode Required 1.5-A Maximum Load Current Constant On-Time Control – No External Loop Compensation – Fast Transient Response Selectable Forced CCM or DCM Operation CCM Option Supports Multi-Output Fly-Buck Nearly Constant Switching Frequency Frequency Adjustable up to 1 MHz Programmable Soft-Start Time Pre-Biased Startup Peak Current Limiting Protection Adjustable Input UVLO and Hysteresis ±1% Feedback Voltage Reference LM5160A allows external VCC Bias Thermal Shutdown Protection 2 Applications • • • • • Industrial Programmable Logic Controller IGBT Gate Drive Bias Supply Telecom Primary/Secondary Side Bias E-meter Power Line Communication Low Power Isolated DC-DC (Fly-Buck) The LM5160A shares the same features and pin configuration as the LM5160.

This high voltage regulator contains 65-V NChannel buck and synchronous rectifier switches and is available in the WSON-12 package. The regulator operation is based on constant on-time control where the on-time is inversely proportional to input voltage VIN. This feature maintains a relatively constant operating frequency with load and input voltage variations. A constant on-time switching regulator requires no loop compensation resulting in fast load transient response. Peak current limit detection circuit is implemented with a forced off-time during current limiting which is inversely proportional to voltage at the feedback pin, VFB and directly proportional to VIN. Varying the current limit off-time with VFB and VIN ensures short circuit protection with minimal current limit foldback. The LM5160 can be applied in numerous end equipment systems requiring efficient step-down regulation from higher input voltages. This regulator is well suited for 24 V industrial systems as well as 48 V telecom and PoE voltage ranges. The LM5160 integrates an under-voltage lockout (EN/UVLO) circuit to prevent faulty operation of the device at low input voltages and features intelligent current limit and thermal shutdown to protect the device during overload or short circuit. The LM5160 device name is used generically throughout this document and represents both the LM5160 and LM5160A unless stated otherwise. The only difference between the two is the ability to connect an external voltage source to the VCC pin of the LM5160A. 7.2 Functional Block Diagram LM5160 VIN VIN VCC VCC REGULATOR RUV2 VCC UVLO CVCC 20µA CIN EN/UVLO STANDBY RUV1 THERMAL SHUTDOWN VIN 1.24V SHUTDOWN BIAS REGULATOR BST 0.35V VIN RON CBST RON ON/OFF TIMERS VOUT RFB2 CSS DISABLE FEEDBACK COMPARATOR SS CONSTANT ON-TIME CONTROL LOGIC SW VCC L VOUT RESR COUT FB RFB1 PGND GM ERROR AMP 2.0V AGND CURRENT LIMIT TIMER CURRENT LIMIT COMPARATOR + VILIM FPWM DIODE EMULATION Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2014–2015, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM5160A LM5160 11 LM5160A, LM5160 SNVSA03B – OCTOBER 2014 – REVISED JULY 2015 www.ti.com 7.3 Feature Description 7.3.1 Control Circuit The LM5160 step-down switching regulator employs a control principle based on a comparator and a one-shot on-timer, with the output voltage feedback (FB) compared to the voltage at the Soft-Start (SS) pin (VSS). If the FB voltage is below VSS, the internal buck switch is turned on for a time period determined by the input voltage and one-shot programming resistor (RON). Following the on-time, the buck switch must remain off for the minimum off-time forced by the minimum off-time one-shot. The buck switch remains off until the FB voltage falls below the Soft-Start again, when it turns back on for another on-time one-shot period. During a rapid start-up or when the load current increases suddenly, the regulator will operate with minimum offtime per cycle. When regulating the output in steady state operation, the off-time will automatically adjust to produce the SW pin duty cycle required for output voltage regulation. When in regulation, the LM5160 operates in continuous conduction mode at heavy load currents. If the FPWM pin is connected to ground or left floating, the regulator will operate in discontinuous conduction mode at light load with the synchronous rectifier FET in diode emulation. With sufficient load, the LM5160 operates in continuous conduction mode with the inductor current never reaching zero during the off-time of the high side FET. In this mode the operating frequency remains relatively constant with load and line variations. The minimum load current for continuous conduction mode is one-half the inductor’s ripple current amplitude. The operating frequency is programmed by the RON pin resistor and can be calculated from Equation 1 with RON expressed in ohms. VOUT Fsw Hz RON u 1u 10 10 (1) In discontinuous conduction mode, current through the inductor ramps up from zero to a peak value 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 VSS. When the inductor current is zero during the high side FET off-time, the load current is supplied by the output capacitor. In this mode, the operating switching frequency is lower than the continuous conduction mode switching frequency and the frequency varies with load. The discontinuous conduction mode maintains conversion efficiency at light loads since the switching losses decrease with the decrease in load and frequency. The output voltage is set by two external resistors ( RFB1, RFB2). The regulated output voltage is calculated from Equation 2, where VREF = 2 V (typ) is the feedback reference voltage. VREF u (RFB2 RFB1 ) VOUT V RFB1 (2) 7.3.2 VCC Regulator The LM5160 contains an internal high voltage linear regulator with a nominal output voltage of 7.5 V (typ). The VCC regulator is internally current limited to 30 mA (minimum). This regulator supplies power to internal circuit blocks including the synchronous FET gate driver and the logic circuits. When the voltage on the VCC pin reaches the under-voltage lockout (VCC(UV)) threshold of 3.98 V (typ), the IC is enabled. An external capacitor at the VCC pin stabilizes the regulator and supplies transient VCC current to the gate drivers. An internal diode connected from VCC to the BST pin replenishes the charge in the high side gate drive bootstrap capacitor when the SW pin is low. In high input voltage applications, the power dissipated in the regulator is significant and can limit the efficiency and maximum achievable output power. The LM5160A allows the internal VCC regulator power loss to be reduced by supplying the VCC voltage via a diode from an external voltage source regulated between 9V and 13 V. The external VCC bias can be supplied from the LM5160A converter output rail if the regulation voltage is within this range. When the VCC pin of the LM5160A is raised above the regulation voltage (7.5 V typical), the internal regulator is disabled and the power dissipation in the IC is reduced. The only difference between the LM5160 and LM5160A is wide operating VCC voltage range of the LM5160A. 12 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2014–2015, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM5160A LM5160 LM5160A, LM5160 www.ti.com SNVSA03B – OCTOBER 2014 – REVISED JULY 2015 Feature Description (continued) 7.3.3 Regulation Comparator The feedback voltage at the FB pin is compared to the SS pin voltage VSS. In normal operation when the output voltage is in regulation, an on-time period is initiated when the voltage at FB pin falls below VSS. The high side buck switch will stay on for the on-time one-shot period causing the FB voltage to rise. After the on-time period expires, the high side switch will remain off until the FB voltage falls below VSS. During the startup, the FB voltage will be below VSS at the end of each on-time period and the high side switch turns on again after the minimum forced off-time of 170 ns (typ). When the output is shorted to ground (FB = 0 V), the high side peak current limit is triggered, the high side FET is turned off, and remains off for a period determined by the current limit off-timer. See the Current Limit section for additional information. 7.3.4 Soft-Start The soft-start feature of the LM5160 allows the converter to gradually reach a steady state operating point, thereby reducing start-up stresses and current surges. When the EN/UVLO pin is above the EN/UVLO standby threshold VUVLO(TH) = 1.24 V (typ) and the VCC exceeds the VCC under-voltage VCC(UV) = 3.98 V (typ) threshold, an internal 10 µA current source charges the external capacitor at the SS pin (CSS) from 0 V to 2 V. The voltage at the SS pin is the non-inverting input of the internal FB comparator. The soft-start interval ends when the SS capacitor is charged to the 2V reference level. The ramping voltage at the SS pin produces a controlled, monotonic output voltage start-up. A minimum 1 nF soft-start capacitor should be used in all applications. 7.3.5 Error Transconductance (GM) Amplifier The LM5160 provides a trans-conductance (GM) error amplifier that minimizes the difference between the reference voltage (VREF) and the average feedback (FB) voltage. This amplifier reduces the load and line regulation errors that are common in constant-on-time regulators. The soft-start capacitor (CSS) provides compensation for this error correction loop. The soft-start capacitor should be greater than 1 nF to ensure stability. 7.3.6 On-Time Generator The on-time of the LM5160 high side FET is determined by the RON resistor and is inversely proportional to the input voltage (VIN). The inverse relationship with VIN results in a nearly constant frequency as VIN is varied. The on-time can be calculated from Equation 3 with RON expressed in ohms. TON RON u 1u 10 10 s VIN (3) To set a specific continuous conduction mode switching frequency (FSW expressed in Hz), the RON resistor is determined from the following: VOUT : RON FSW u 1u 10 10 (4) RON should be selected for a minimum on-time (at maximum VIN) greater than 150 ns for proper operation. This minimum on-time requirement will limit the maximum switching frequency of applications with relatively high VIN and low VOUT. 7.3.7 Current Limit The LM5160 provides an intelligent current limit off-timer that adjusts the off-time to reduce the foldback in the current limit. If the peak value of the current in the buck switch exceeds 2.5 A (typ) the present on-time period is immediately terminated, and a non-resettable off-timer is initiated. The length of the off-time is controlled by the FB voltage and the input voltage VIN. As an example, when VFB = 0 V and VIN = 24 V, the off-time is set to 10 μs. This condition would occur if the output is shorted or during the initial phase of start-up. In cases of output overload where the FB voltage is greater than zero volts (a soft short), the current limit off-time is reduced. Reducing the off-time during less severe overloads reduces the current limit foldback, overload recovery time, and start-up time. The current limit off-time, TOFF(CL) is calculated from Equation 5: 5VIN TOFF(CL) Ps 24VFB 12 (5) Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2014–2015, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM5160A LM5160 13 LM5160A, LM5160 SNVSA03B – OCTOBER 2014 – REVISED JULY 2015 www.ti.com Feature Description (continued) 7.3.8 N-Channel Buck Switch and Driver The LM5160 integrates an N-Channel buck switch and associated floating high side gate driver. The gate driver circuit works in conjunction with an external bootstrap capacitor and an internal high voltage bootstrap diode. A 10 nF or larger ceramic capacitor connected between the BST pin and the SW pin provides the voltage to the high-side driver during the buck switch on-time. During the off-time, the SW node is pulled down to approximately 0 V and the bootstrap capacitor charges from VCC through the internal bootstrap diode. The minimum off-time of 170 ns (typ) provides a minimum time each cycle to recharge the bootstrap capacitor. 7.3.9 Synchronous Rectifier The LM5160 provides an internal low side synchronous rectifier N-Channel FET. This low side FET provides a low resistance path for the inductor current when the high-side FET is turned off. With the FPWM pin connected to ground or left floating, the LM5160 synchronous rectifier operates in diode emulation mode. Diode emulation enables the pulse-skipping during light load conditions. This leads to a reduction in the average switching frequency at light loads. Switching losses and FET gate driver losses, both of which are proportional to switching frequency, are significantly reduced and efficiency is improved. This pulseskipping mode also reduces the circulating inductor currents and losses associated with a continuous conduction mode (CCM). When the FPWM pin is pulled high, diode emulation is disabled. The inductor current can flow in either direction through the low side FET resulting in CCM operation with nearly constant switching frequency. A negative sink current limit circuit limits the current that can flow into the SW pin and through the low side FET to ground. In a buck regulator application, large negative current will only flow from VOUT to the SW pin if VOUT is lifted above the output regulation set-point. 7.3.10 Enable / Under-Voltage Lockout (EN/UVLO) The LM5160 contains a dual level under-voltage lockout (EN/UVLO) circuit. When the EN/UVLO pin voltage is below 0.35 V, the regulator is in a low current shutdown mode. When the EN/UVLO pin voltage is greater than 0.35 V (typ.) but less than 1.24 V (typ.), the regulator is in standby mode. In standby mode, the VCC bias regulator is active but converter switching remains disabled. When the voltage at the VCC pin exceeds the VCC rising threshold VCC(UV) = 3.98 V (typ) and the EN/UVLO pin voltage is greater than 1.24 V, normal switching operation begins. An external resistor voltage divider from VIN to GND can be used to set the minimum operating voltage of the regulator. EN/UVLO hysteresis is accomplished with an internal 20 μA (typ) current source (IUVLO(HYS)) that is switched on or off into the impedance of the EN/UVLO pin resistor divider. When the EN/UVLO threshold is exceeded, the current source is activated to effectively raise the voltage at the EN/UVLO pin. The hysteresis is equal to the value of this current times the upper resistance of the resistor divider, (RUV2) (See Functional Block Diagram ). 7.3.11 Thermal Protection The LM5160 should be operated such that the junction temperature does not exceed 150 °C during normal operation. An internal Thermal Shutdown circuit is provided to protect the LM5160 in the event of a higher than normal junction temperature. When activated, typically at 175 °C, the controller is forced into a low power reset state, disabling the high side buck switch and the VCC regulator. This feature prevents catastrophic failures from accidental device overheating. When the junction temperature falls below 155 °C (typical hysteresis = 20 °C), the VCC regulator is enabled, and operation resumes. 7.4 Device Functional Modes 7.4.1 Forced Pulse Width Modulation (FPWM) Mode The Synchronous Rectifier section gives a brief introduction to the LM5160 diode emulation feature. The FPWM pin allows the power supply designer to select either CCM or DCM mode of operation at light loads. When the FPWM pin is connected to ground or left floating (FPWM = 0), a pulse-skipping mode is enabled and a zerocross current detector circuit is enabled. The zero-cross detector will turn off the low side FET when the inductor current falls to zero (IZX, see Electrical Characteristics ). This feature allows the LM5160 regulator to operate in DCM mode at light loads. In the DCM state, the switching frequency will decrease with lighter loads. 14 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2014–2015, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM5160A LM5160 LM5160A, LM5160 www.ti.com SNVSA03B – OCTOBER 2014 – REVISED JULY 2015 Device Functional Modes (continued) If the FPWM pin is pulled high (FPWM connected to VCC), the LM5160 will operate in CCM mode even at light loads. This option allows the synchronous rectifier FET to conduct continuously until the start of the next high side switch cycle. The inductor current will drop to zero and then reverse direction (negative direction through inductor), passing from drain to source of low side FET. The current will flow continuously until the FB comparator initiates another high side switch on-time. CCM operation reduces efficiency at light load but improves the output transient response to step load changes and provides nearly constant switching frequency. Table 1.

If the EN/UVLO is directly connected to the VIN pin, the regulator will begin switching when the VCC(UV) = 3.98 V (typ) is satisfied.

TI’s customers are responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality. 8.1 Application Information The LM5160 family is a synchronous-buck regulator converter designed to operate over a wide input voltage and output current range. Spreadsheet based Quick-Start Calculator tools, available on the www.ti.com product website, can be used to design a single output synchronous buck converter or an isolated dual output Fly-Buck converter using both the LM5160 and LM5160A. See application note AN-2292 for a detailed design guide for the Fly-Buck converter.

Synchronous Buck Application Circuit 8.2.1.1 Design Requirements A typical synchronous-buck application introduced in LM5160 Synchronous Buck (10-V to 60-V Input, 5-V Output, 1.5-A Load) , Table 3 summarizes the operating parameters: Table 3.

Standard values of R6 (RFB1) = 2 kΩ and R5 (RFB2 ) =3.01 kΩ are chosen. Higher or lower values could be used as long as the ratio of the 3:2 is maintained. 8.2.1.2.2 Frequency Selection The duty cycle required to maintain output regulation at the minimum input voltage restricts the maximum switching frequency of LM5160. The maximum value of the minimum forced off-time TOFF,min (max), limits the duty cycle and therefore the switching frequency. The maximum frequency that will avoid output dropout at minimum input voltage can be calculated from Equation 7. VIN, min VOUT FSW, max (@ VIN, min ) VIN, min u TOFF, min (ns) (7) For this design example, the maximum frequency based on the minimum off-time limitation for TOFF,min(typ) = 170 ns is calculated to be FSW,max(@VIN,min) = 2.9 MHz. This value is well above 1 MHz, the maximum possible operating frequency of the LM5160. Therefore, the minimum off-time parameter cannot be used further for the maximum achievable switching frequency calculation in this application. At the maximum input voltage, the maximum switching frequency of LM5160 is restricted by the minimum ontime, TON,min which limits the minimum duty cycle of the converter. The maximum frequency at maximum input voltage can be calculated using Equation 8. VOUT FSW, max (@ VIN, max ) VIN, max u TON, min (ns) (8) Using Equation 8 and TON,min (typ) = 150 ns, the maximum achievable switching frequency is FSW,max(@VIN,min)=514 kHz. Taking this value as the maximum possible operational switching frequency over the input voltage range in this application, a nominal switching frequency of FSW = 300 kHz is chosen for this design. The value of the resistor, RON sets the nominal switching frequency based on Equation 9. VOUT : RON FSW u 1u 10 10 (9) For this particular application with FSW = 300 kHz, RON calculates to be 167 kΩ . Selecting a standard value for R3 (RON) = 169 kΩ (±1%) will result in an ideal nominal frequency of 296 kHz. The resistor value may need to adjusted further in order to achieve the required switching frequency as the switching frequency in COTs varies slightly(±10%) with input voltage and/or output current. Operation at a lower nominal switching frequency will result in higher efficiency but increase in the inductor and capacitor values leading to a larger total solution size. 8.2.1.2.3 Inductor Selection The inductor is selected to limit the inductor ripple current between 20 and 40 percent of the maximum load current. The minimum value of the inductor required in this application can be calculated from: VO u (VIN, max VO ) Lmin VIN, max u FSW u IO, max u 0.4 (10) Based on Equation 10 , the minimum value of the inductor is calculated to be 26 µH for VIN = 65 V (max) and inductor current ripple equal to 40 percent of the maximum load current. Allowing some margin for inductance variation and inductor saturation, a higher standard value of L1 (L) = 47 µH is selected for this design.

The inductor current ripple at any input voltage is given by: VO u (VIN VO ) 'IL VIN u FSW u L (11) The peak-to-peak inductor current ripple is calculated to be 180 mA and 332 mA at the minimum and maximum input voltages respectively. The maximum peak inductor current in the buck FET is given by: 'IL, max IL(peak) IO, max (12) 2 In this design with maximum output current of 1.5 A, the maximum peak inductor current is calculated to be approximately 1.67 A which is less than the minimum high-side FET current limit threshold. The saturation current of the inductor must also be carefully considered. The peak value of the inductor current will be bound by the high side FET current limit during overload or short circuit conditions. Based on the high side FET current limit specification in the Electrical Characteristics , an inductor with saturation current rating above 2.875 A (max) should be selected. 8.2.1.2.4 Output Capacitor Selection The output capacitor is selected to limit the capacitive ripple at the output of the regulator. Maximum capacitive ripple is observed at maximum input voltage. The output capacitance required for a ripple voltage ∆VO across the capacitor is given by Equation 13. 'IL, max COUT 8 u FSW u 'VO, ripple (13) Substituting ∆VO, ripple = 10 mV gives COUT = 14 μF. Two standard 10 μF ceramic capacitors in parallel (C8, C9) are selected. An X7R type capacitor with a voltage rating 16 V or higher should be used for COUT (C8, C9) to limit the reduction of capacitance due to dc bias voltage. 8.2.1.2.5 Series Ripple Resistor - RESR The series resistor is selected such that sufficient ripple injection is ensured at the feedback node FB. The ripple produced by RESR is proportional to the inductor current ripple, and therefore, RESR should be chosen for minimum inductor current ripple which occurs at minimum input voltage. The RESR is calculated by Equation 14. 25 mV u VO RESR t VREF u 'IL, min (14) With VO = 5 V, VREF = 2 V and ΔIL, min = 180 mA (at VIN, min= 10 V) as calculated in Equation 11, Equation 14 requires an RESR greater than or equal to 0.35 Ω. Selecting R7 (RESR) = 0.47 Ω will result in ~150 mV of maximum output voltage ripple at VIN,max. For applications requiring lower output voltage ripple, Type II or Type III ripple injection circuits should be used as described in Ripple Configuration. 8.2.1.2.6 VCC and Bootstrap Capacitor The VCC capacitor charges the bootstrap capacitor during the off-time of the high side switch and powers internal logic circuits and the low side sync FET gate driver. The bootstrap capacitor biases the high side gate driver during the high side FET on-time. A good value for C5 (CVCC) is 1 µF. A good choice for C4 (CBST) is 10 nF. Both should be high quality X7R ceramic capacitors. 8.2.1.2.7 Input Capacitor Selection The input capacitor must be large enough to limit the input voltage ripple to an acceptable level.

At maximum load current, when the buck switch turns on, the current into the VIN pin quickly increases to the valley current of the inductor ripple and then ramps up to the peak of the inductor ripple during the on-time of the high side FET. The average current during the on-time is the output load current. For a worst case calculation, CIN must supply this average load current during the maximum on-time, without letting the voltage at VIN drop more than the desired input ripple. For this design, the input voltage drop is limited to 0.5 V and the value of CIN is calculated using Equation 15. Based on Equation 15, the value of the input capacitor is calculated to be approximately 2.5 µF at D = 0.5. Taking into account the decrease in capacitance over an applied voltage, two standard value ceramic capacitors of 2.2 μF are selected for C1 and C10. The input capacitors should be rated for the maximum input voltage under all operating and transient conditions. A 100 V, X7R dielectric was selected for this design. A third input capacitor C2 may be needed in this design as a bypass path for the high frequency component of the input switching current. The value of C2 is 0.47 μF and this bypass capacitorshould be placed directly across VIN and PGND (pin 3 and 2) near the IC. The CIN values and location are critical to reducing switching noise and transients. 8.2.1.2.8 Soft-Start Capacitor Selection The capacitor at the SS pin determines the soft-start time, i.e. the time for the output voltage to reach its final steady state value. The capacitor value is determined from Equation 16: ISS u TStartup CSS VSS (16) With C3 (CSS) set at 22 nF and the Vss = 2 V, ISS = 10 µA, the TStartup should measure approximately 4 ms. 8.2.1.2.9 EN/UVLO Resistor Selection The UVLO resistors R1 (RUV2) and R2 (RUV1) set the input under-voltage lockout threshold and hysteresis according to the following equations: VIN(HYS) IUVLO(HYS) u RUV2 (17) and, VIN, UVLO(rising) § R · VUVLO(TH) ¨ 1 UV2 ¸ R UV1 ¹ © (18) From the Electrical Characteristics table, IUVLO(HYS) = 20 μA (typ). To design for VIN rising threshold (VIN, UVLO(rising)) at 10 V and EN/UVLO hysteresis of 2.5 V, Equation 17 and Equation 18 yield RUV1 = 17.98 kΩ and RUV2 = 125 kΩ . Selecting 1% standard value of R2 (RUV1) = 18.2 kΩ and R1 (RUV2) = 127 kΩ results in UVLO thresholds and hysteresis of 9.89 V and 2.54 V respectively.

The selection of primary output voltage, transformer turns ratio, rectifier diode, and output capacitors are covered here. 8.2.2.2.1 Selection of VOUT1 and Turns Ratio The primary output voltage in a Fly-Buck converter should be no more than one half of the minimum input voltage. For a minimum VIN of 18 V, the primary output voltage (VOUT) should be no higher than 9 V. To generate an isolated output voltage of VOUT (ISO) = 12 V, a transformer turns ratio (N1:N2) of 1:1.5 is selected. Using this turns ration, the required primary output voltage VOUT is calculated to be: VOUT(ISO) 0.7 V VOUT 8.47 V 1.5 (19) The 0.7 V subtracted from VOUT(ISO) represents the forward voltage drop of the secondary rectifier diode. Fine tuning the primary side VOUT1 may be required to account for voltage errors due to the leakage inductance of the transformer and the resistance of the transformer windings and the low side FET of LM5160. 8.2.2.2.2 Secondary Rectifier Diode The secondary rectifier diode must block the maximum input voltage multiplied by the transformer turns ratio. The minimum diode reverse voltage VR(diode) rating is given by: N2 VR(diode) VIN(max) u 32 V u 1.5 48 V (20) N1 A diode of 60 V or higher reverse voltage rating should be selected in this application. If the input voltage (VIN) has transients above the normal operating maximum input voltage of 32 V, then the worst case transient input voltage should be used in the diode voltage calculation of Equation 20. 8.2.2.2.3 External Ripple Circuit Type 3 ripple circuit is required for Fly-Buck applications. The design procedure for ripple components is identical to that in a buck converter. See Ripple Configuration for ripple design information. 8.2.2.2.4 Output Capacitor (COUT2) The Fly-Buck output capacitor conducts higher ripple current than a buck converter output capacitor. The capacitive ripple for the isolated output capacitor is calculated based on the time the rectifier diode is off. During this time the entire output current is supplied by the output capacitor. The required capacitance for a worst case VOUT2 (VOUT (ISO)) ripple voltage can be calculated using Equation 21 where, ΔVOUT2 is the target ripple at the secondary output. COUT2 IOUT2 § VOUT1 · 1 ¨ ¸u 'VOUT2 ¨© VIN(MIN) ¸¹ fsw (21) Equation 21 is an approximation and ignores the ripple components associated with ESR and ESL of the output capacitor. For a ΔVOUT2 = 100 mV, Equation 21 requires COUT2 = 6.5 µF. When selecting a capacitor, its DC bias should be considered to ensure sufficient capacitance over the output voltage. 22 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2014–2015, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM5160A LM5160 LM5160A, LM5160 www.ti.com SNVSA03B – OCTOBER 2014 – REVISED JULY 2015 8.2.2.3 Application Performance Plots Isolated Sec.

The LM5160A, can be externally biased to VOUT by connecting VCC to VOUT through a diode as shown in the Fly-Buck application circuit in Figure 35 . In this dual output rail Fly-Buck application circuit, the VCC pin is externally diode connected (D2) to VOUT (primary). The design procedure with LM5160A, for both Buck and the Fly-Buck™, remain same as with LM5160. The voltage applied to the VCC pin, either from VOUT or an external supply should be between 9V and 13V.

Therefore, for stable operation, the feedback voltage must decrease monotonically in phase with the inductor current during the off-time. Furthermore, this change in feedback voltage (VFB) during off-time must be large enough to dominate any noise present at the feedback node. Table 5 presents three different methods for generating appropriate voltage ripple at the feedback node. Type 1 and Type 2 ripple circuits couple the ripple from the output of the converter to the feedback node (FB). The output voltage ripple has two components: 1. Capacitive ripple caused by the inductor current ripple charging/discharging the output capacitor. 2. Resistive ripple caused by the inductor current ripple flowing through the ESR of the output capacitor and R3. The capacitive ripple is out of phase with the inductor current. As a result, the capacitive ripple does not decrease monotonically during the off-time. The resistive ripple is in phase with the inductor current and decreases monotonically during the off-time. The resistive ripple must exceed the capacitive ripple at output (VOUT) for stable operation. If this condition is not satisfied unstable switching behavior is observed in COT converters, with multiple on-time bursts in close succession followed by a long off-time. Type 3 ripple method uses a ripple injection circuit with RA, CA and the switch node (SW) voltage to generate a triangular ramp. This triangular ramp is then ac coupled into the feedback node (FB) using the capacitor CB. Since this circuit does not use the output voltage ripple, it is suited for applications where low output voltage ripple is imperative. See application note AN-1481 for more details for each ripple generation method. 24 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2014–2015, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM5160A LM5160 LM5160A, LM5160 www.ti.com SNVSA03B – OCTOBER 2014 – REVISED JULY 2015 Table 5.

Apart from determining the startup time, this capacitor serves as the external compensation of the internal GM error amplifier. A minimum value of 1 nF is necessary to maintain stability. The SS pin should not be left floating. The VCC pin in the LM5160 should not be biased with an external voltage source. When improved efficiency requirement warrants an external Vcc bias, the LM5160A should be used. 9 Power Supply Recommendations The LM5160 is designed to operate with an input power supply capable of supplying a voltage range between 4.5 V and 65 V. The power supply should be well regulated and capable of supplying sufficient current to the regulator during the sync buck mode or the isolated Fly-Buck mode of operation. As in all DC/DC applications, the power supply source impedance must be small compared to the converter input impedance in order to maintain the stability of the converter. If the LM5160 is used in a buck topology with low input supply voltage (4.5 V) and large load current (1.5 A), it is prudent to add a large electrolytic capacitor, in parallel the CIN capacitors. The electrolytic capacitor will stabilize the input voltage to the IC and prevent droop or oscillation, over the entire load range.

In particular, the following guidelines should be observed: • CIN: The loop consisting of input capacitor (CIN), VIN pin, and PGND pin carries the switching current. Therefore, in both the LM5160 and the LM5160A, the input capacitor should be placed close to the IC, directly across VIN and PGND pins, and the connections to these two pins should be direct to minimize the loop area. In general it is not possible to place all of input capacitances near the IC. A good layout practice includes placing the bulk capacitor as close as possible to the VIN pin (see Figure 36). • CVCC and CBST: The VCC and bootstrap (BST) bypass capacitors supply switching currents to the high and low side gate drivers. These two capacitors should also be placed as close to the IC as possible, and the connecting trace length and loop area should be minimized (see Figure 36). • The feedback trace carries the output voltage information and a small ripple component that is necessary for proper operation of both the LM5160 and the LM5160A. Therefore, care should be taken while routing the feedback trace to avoid coupling any noise into this pin. In particular, the feedback trace should be short and not run close to magnetic components, or parallel to any other switching trace. • SW trace: The SW node switches rapidly between VIN and GND every cycle and is therefore a source of noise. The SW node area should be minimized. In particular, the SW node should not be inadvertently connected to a copper plane or pour. 10.2 Layout Example VIN AGND CIN CIN SW PGND SW CBST LM5160 VIN BST EN/ UVLO VCC VOUT THERMAL PAD RON FB SS FPWM CVCC RFB2 RFB1 Figure 36.
