LM25119, LM25119-Q1 Wide Input Range, Dual Synchronous Buck Controller
1 Features
3 Description
•
The LM25119 device is a dual 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 using an emulated current ramp.
Current mode control provides inherent line
feedforward, cycle-by-cycle current limiting and easeof-loop compensation. The use of an emulated
control ramp reduces noise sensitivity of the pulsewidth modulation circuit, allowing reliable control of
very small duty cycles necessary in high input voltage
applications.
The
switching
frequency
is
programmable from 50 kHz to 750 kHz. The
LM25119 drives external high-side and low-side
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 high voltage bias
regulator with automatic switch-over to external bias
further improves efficiency. Additional features
include thermal shutdown, frequency synchronization,
cycle-by-cycle and hiccup mode current limit and
adjustable line undervoltage lockout. The device is
available in a power enhanced leadless 32-pin WQFN
package featuring an exposed die attach pad to aid
thermal dissipation.

NAME
1
VCC1
P
Bias supply pin. Locally decouple to PGND1 using a low ESR or ESL capacitor located as close to
controller as possible.
2
LO1
O
Low-side MOSFET gate drive output. Connect to the gate of the channel1 low-side synchronous
MOSFET through a short, low inductance path.
3
PGND1
G
Power ground return pin for low-side MOSFET gate driver. Connect directly to the low side of the
channel1 current sense resistor.
4
CSG1
I
Kelvin ground connection to the external current sense resistor. Connect directly to the low side of
the channel1 current sense resistor.
5
CS1
I
Current sense amplifier input. Connect to the high side of the channel1 current sense resistor.
6
RAMP1
I
PWM ramp signal. An external resistor and capacitor connected between the SW1 pin, the RAMP1
pin and the AGND pin sets the channel1 PWM ramp slope. Proper selection of component values
produces a RAMP1 signal that emulates the current in the buck inductor.
7
SS1
I
An external capacitor and an internal 10-µA current source set the ramp rate of the channel1 error
amp reference. The SS1 pin is held low when VCC1 or VCC2 < 4 V, UVLO < 1.25 V or during
thermal shutdown.
8
VCCDIS
I
Optional input that disables the internal VCC regulators when external biasing is supplied. If VCCDIS
> 1.25 V, the internal VCC regulators are disabled. The externally supplied bias must be coupled to
the VCC pins through a diode. VCCDIS has a 500-kΩ pulldown resistor to ground to enable the VCC
regulators when the pin is left floating. The pulldown resistor can be overridden by pulling VCCDIS
above 1.25 V with a resistor divider connected to the external bias supply.
9
FB1
I
Feedback input and inverting input of the channel1 internal error amplifier. A resistor divider from the
channel1 output to this pin sets the output voltage level. The regulation threshold at the FB1 pin is
0.8 V.
10
COMP1
O
Output of the channel1 internal error amplifier. The loop compensation network must be connected
between this pin and the FB1 pin.
11
EN2
I
If the EN2 pin is low, channel2 is disabled. Channel1 and all other functions remain active. The EN2
has a 50-kΩ pullup resistor to enable channel2 when the pin is left floating.
12
AGND
G
Analog ground. Return for the internal 0.8-V voltage reference and analog circuits.
13
RT
I
The internal oscillator is set with a single resistor between RT and AGND. The recommended
maximum oscillator frequency is 1.5 MHz which corresponds to a maximum switching frequency of
750 kHz for either channel. The internal oscillator can be synchronized to an external clock by
coupling a positive pulse into RT through a small coupling capacitor.

Pin Functions (continued)

NAME
TYPE (1)
DESCRIPTION
14
RES
O
The restart timer pin for an external capacitor that configures the hiccup mode current limiting. A
capacitor on the RES pin determines the time the controller remains off before automatically
restarting in hiccup mode. The two regulator channels operate independently. One channel may
operate in normal mode while the other is in hiccup mode overload protection. The hiccup mode
commences when either channel experiences 256 consecutive PWM cycles with cycle-by-cycle
current limiting. After this occurs, a 10-µA current source charges the RES pin capacitor to the 1.25-V
threshold which restarts the overloaded channel.
15
COMP2
O
Output of the channel2 internal error amplifier. The loop compensation network must be connected
between this pin and the FB2 pin.
16
FB2
I
Feedback input and inverting input of the channel2 internal error amplifier. A resistor divider from the
channel2 output to this pin sets the output voltage level. The regulation threshold at the FB2 pin is
0.8 V.
17
DEMB
I
Logic input that enables diode emulation when in the low state. In diode emulation mode, the lowside MOSFET is latched off for the remainder of the PWM cycle when the buck inductor current
reverses direction (current flow from output to ground). When DEMB is high, diode emulation is
disabled allowing current to flow in either direction through the low-side MOSFET. A 50-kΩ pulldown
resistor internal to the LM25119 holds DEMB pin low and enables diode emulation if the pin is left
floating.
18
SS2
I
An external capacitor and an internal 10-µA current source set the ramp rate of the channel2 error
amp reference. The SS2 pin is held low when VCC1 or VCC2 < 4 V, UVLO < 1.25 V or during
thermal shutdown.
19
RAMP2
I
PWM ramp signal. An external resistor and capacitor connected between the SW2 pin, the RAMP2
pin and the AGND pin sets the channel2 PWM ramp slope. Proper selection of component values
produces a RAMP2 signal that emulates the current in the buck inductor.
20
CS2
I
Current sense amplifier input. Connect to the high side of the channel2 current sense resistor.
21
CSG2
I
Kelvin ground connection to the external current sense resistor. Connect directly to the low side of
the channel2 current sense resistor.
22
PGND2
G
Power ground return pin for low-side MOSFET gate driver. Connect directly to the low side of the
channel2 current sense resistor.
23
LO2
O
Low-side MOSFET gate drive output. Connect to the gate of the channel2 low-side synchronous
MOSFET through a short, low inductance path.
24
VCC2
P
Bias supply pin. Locally decouple to PGND2 using a low ESR or ESL capacitor located as close to
controller as possible.
25
SW2
I/O
Switching node of the buck regulator. Connect to channel2 bootstrap capacitor, the source terminal of
the high-side MOSFET and the drain terminal of the low-side MOSFET.
26
HO2
O
High-side MOSFET gate drive output. Connect to the gate of the channel2 high-side MOSFET
through a short, low inductance path.
27
HB2
P
High-side driver supply for bootstrap gate drive. Connect to the cathode of the channel2 external
bootstrap diode and to the bootstrap capacitor. The bootstrap capacitor supplies current to charge the
high-side MOSFET gate and must be placed as close to the controller as possible.
28
UVLO
I
Undervoltage lockout programming pin. If the UVLO pin is below 0.4 V, the regulator is in the
shutdown mode with all function disabled. If the UVLO pin is greater than 0.4 V and below 1.25 V, the
regulator is in standby mode with the VCC regulators operational, the SS pins grounded and no
switching at the HO and LO outputs. If the UVLO pin voltage is above 1.25 V, the SS pins are
allowed to ramp and pulse width modulated gate drive signals are delivered at the LO and HO pins. A
20-µA current source is enabled when UVLO exceeds 1.25 V and flows through the external UVLO
resistors to provide hysteresis.
29
VIN
P
Supply voltage input source for the VCC regulators.
30
HB1
P
High-side driver supply for bootstrap gate drive. Connect to the cathode of the channel1 external
bootstrap diode and to the bootstrap capacitor. The bootstrap capacitor supplies current to charge the
high-side MOSFET gate and must be placed as close to controller as possible.
31
HO1
O
High-side MOSFET gate drive output. Connect to the gate of the channel1 high-side MOSFET
through a short, low inductance path.
32
SW1
I/O
Switching node of the buck regulator. Connect to channel1 bootstrap capacitor, the source terminal of
the high-side MOSFET and the drain terminal of the low-side MOSFET.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The LM25119 high voltage switching regulator features all of the functions necessary to implement an efficient
dual-channel buck regulator that operates over a very wide input voltage range. The LM25119 may be configured
as two independent regulators or as a single high-current regulator with two interleaved channels. This easy-touse regulator integrates high-side and low-side MOSFET drivers capable of supplying peak currents of 2.5 A
(VCC = 8 V). The regulator control method is based on current mode control using an emulated current ramp.
Emulated peak current mode control provides inherent line feedforward, cycle-by-cycle current limiting and easeof-loop compensation. The use of an emulated control ramp reduces noise sensitivity of the pulse-width
modulation circuit, allowing reliable processing of the very small duty cycles necessary in high input voltage
applications. The switching frequency is user programmable from 50 kHz to 750 kHz. An oscillator or
synchronization pin allows the operating frequency to be set by a single resistor or synchronized to an external
clock. An undervoltage lockout and channel2 enable pin allows either both regulators to be disabled or channel2
to be disabled with full operation of channel1. Fault protection features include current limiting, thermal shutdown
and remote shutdown capability. The undervoltage lockout input enables both channels when the input voltage
reaches a user selected threshold and provides a very low quiescent shutdown current when pulled low. The
32-pin WQFN package features an exposed pad to aid in thermal dissipation.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 High Voltage Start-Up Regulator
The LM25119 contains two internal high voltage bias regulators, VCC1 and VCC2, that provide the bias supply
for the PWM controllers and gate drive for the MOSFETs of each regulator channel. The input pin (VIN) can be
connected directly to an input voltage source as high as 42 V. The outputs of the VCC regulators are set to
7.6 V. When the input voltage is below the VCC set-point level, the VCC output tracks the VIN with a small
dropout voltage. If VCC1 is in an undervoltage condition, channel2 is disabled. This interdependence is
necessary to prevent channel2 from running open-loop in the single output interleaved mode when the channel2
error amplifier is disabled (if either VCC is in UV, both channels are disabled).
The outputs of the VCC regulators are current limited at 25-mA (minimum) output capability. Upon power up, the
regulators source current into the capacitors connected to the VCC pins. When the voltage at the VCC pins
exceed 4 V and the UVLO pin is greater than 1.25 V, both channels are enabled and a soft-start sequence
begins. Both channels remain enabled until either VCC pin falls below 3.8 V, the UVLO pin falls below 1.25 V or
the die temperature exceeds the thermal limit threshold.
When operating at higher input voltages the bias power dissipation within the controller can be excessive. An
output voltage derived bias supply can be applied to a VCC pins to reduce the IC power dissipation. The
VCCDIS input can be used to disable the internal VCC regulators when external biasing is supplied.
If VCCDIS > 1.25 V, the internal VCC regulators are disabled. The externally supplied bias must be coupled to
the VCC pins through a diode, preferably a Schottky (low forward voltage). VCCDIS has a 500-kΩ internal
pulldown resistance to ground for normal operation with no external bias. The internal pulldown resistance can
be overridden by pulling VCCDIS above 1.25 V through a resistor divider connected to an external bias supply.
The VCC regulator series pass transistor includes a diode between VCC and VIN that must not be forwardbiased in normal operation.
If the external bias winding can supply VCC greater than VIN, an external blocking diode is required from the
input power supply to the VIN pin to prevent the external bias supply from passing current to the input supply
through the VCC pins. For VOUT between 5 V and 14.5 V, VOUT can be connected directly to VCC through a
diode. For VOUT < 5 V, a bias winding on the output inductor can be added as shown in Figure 8.

In high voltage applications, take extra care to ensure the VIN pin does not exceed the absolute maximum
voltage rating of 45 V. During line or load transients, voltage ringing on the VIN line that exceeds the absolute
maximum rating can damage the IC. Both careful PCB layout and the use of quality bypass capacitors located
close to the VIN and AGND pins are essential.
7.3.2 UVLO
The LM25119 contains a dual-level undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit. When the UVLO pin is less than 0.4 V,
the LM25119 is in shutdown mode. The shutdown comparator provides 100 mV of hysteresis to avoid chatter
during transitions. When the UVLO pin voltage is greater than 0.4 V but less than 1.25 V, the controller is in
standby mode. In the standby mode the VCC bias regulators are active but the controller outputs are disabled.
This feature allows the UVLO pin to be used as a remote enable or disable function. When the VCC outputs
exceed their respective undervoltage thresholds (4 V) and the UVLO pin voltage is greater than 1.25 V, the
outputs are enabled and normal operation begins.

Feature Description (continued)
An external set-point voltage divider from the VIN to GND is used to set the minimum VIN operating voltage of
the regulator. The divider must be designed such that the voltage at the UVLO pin is greater than 1.25 V when
the input voltage is in the desired operating range. UVLO hysteresis is accomplished with an internal 20-μA
current source that is switched on or off into the impedance of the set-point divider. When the UVLO pin voltage
exceeds 1.25-V threshold, the current source is activated to quickly raise the voltage at the UVLO pin. When the
UVLO pin voltage falls below the 1.25-V threshold, the current source is turned off causing the voltage at the
UVLO pin to quickly fall. The UVLO pin must not be left floating.
7.3.3 Enable 2
The LM25119 contains an enable function allowing shutdown control of channel2, independent of channel1. If
the EN2 pin is pulled below 2 V, channel2 enters shutdown mode. If the EN2 input is greater than 2.5 V,
channel2 returns to normal operation. An internal 50-kΩ pullup resistor on the EN2 pin allows this pin to be left
floating for normal operation. The EN2 input can be used in conjunction with the UVLO pin to sequence the two
regulator channels. If EN2 is held low as the UVLO pin increases to a voltage greater than the 1.25-V UVLO
threshold, channel1 begins operation while channel2 remains off. Both channels become operational when the
UVLO, EN2, VCC1, and VCC2 pins are above their respective operating thresholds. Either channel of the
LM25119 can also be disabled independently by pulling the corresponding SS pin to AGND.
7.3.4 Oscillator and Sync Capability
The LM25119 switching frequency is set by a single external resistor connected between the RT pin and the
AGND pin (RT). The resistor must be located very close to the device and connected directly to the pins of the IC
(RT and AGND). To set a desired switching frequency (fSW) of each channel, the resistor can be calculated with
Equation 1.
5.2 u 109
RT
948
fSW
where
•
•
RT is in ohms (Ω)
fSW is in hertz (Hz)
(1)
The frequency fSW is the output switching frequency of each channel. The internal oscillator runs at twice the
switching frequency and an internal frequency divider interleaves the two channels with 180° phase shift between
PWM pulses at the HO pins.
The RT pin can be used to synchronize the internal oscillator to an external clock. The internal oscillator can be
synchronized by AC coupling a positive edge into the RT pin. The voltage at the RT pin is nominally 1.25 V and
the voltage at the RT pin must exceed 4 V to trip the internal synchronization pulse detector. A 5-V amplitude
signal and 100-pF coupling capacitor are recommended. Synchronizing at greater than twice the free-running
frequency may result in abnormal behavior of the pulse width modulator. Also, note that the output switching
frequency of each channel is one-half the applied synchronization frequency.
7.3.5 Error Amplifiers and PWM Comparators
Each of the two internal high-gain error amplifiers generates an error signal proportional to the difference
between the regulated output voltage and an internal precision reference (0.8 V). The output of each error
amplifier is connected to the COMP pin allowing the user to provide loop compensation components. Generally a
Type II network is recommended. This network creates a pole at 0 Hz, a mid-band zero, and a noise-reducing,
high-frequency pole. The PWM comparator compares the emulated current sense signal from the RAMP
generator to the error amplifier output voltage at the COMP pin. Only one error amplifier is required when
configuring the controller as a two channel, single output interleaved regulator. For these applications, the
channel1 error amplifier (FB1, COMP1) is configured as the master error amplifier. The channel2 error amplifier
must be disabled by connecting the FB2 pin to the VCC2 pin. When configured in this manner the output of the
channel2 error amplifier (COMP2) is disabled and have a high output impedance. To complete the interleaved
configuration, the COMP1 and the COMP2 pins must be connected together to facilitate PWM control of
channel2 and current sharing between channels.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.6 Ramp Generator
The ramp signal used in the pulse width modulator for current mode control is typically derived directly from the
buck switch current. This switch current corresponds to the positive slope portion of the inductor current. Using
this signal for the PWM ramp simplifies the control loop transfer function to a single pole response and provides
inherent input voltage feedforward compensation. The disadvantage of using the buck switch current signal for
PWM control is the large leading edge spike due to circuit parasitics that must be filtered or blanked. Also, the
current measurement may introduce significant propagation delays. The filtering, blanking time, and propagation
delay limit the minimum achievable pulse width. In applications where the input voltage may be relatively large in
comparison to the output voltage, controlling small pulse widths and duty cycles are necessary for regulation.
The LM25119 uses a unique ramp generator which does not actually measure the buck switch current but rather
reconstructs the signal. Representing or emulating the inductor current provides a ramp signal to the PWM
comparator that is free of leading edge spikes and measurement or filtering delays. The current reconstruction is
comprised of two elements; a sample-and-hold DC level and the emulated inductor current ramp as shown in
Figure 9.

Sample and
Hold DC Level

Figure 9. Composition of Current Sense Signal
The sample-and-hold DC level is derived from a measurement of the recirculating current flowing through the
current sense resistor. The voltage across the sense resistor is sampled and held just prior to the onset of the
next conduction interval of the buck switch. The current sensing and sample-and-hold provide the DC level of the
reconstructed current signal. The positive slope inductor current ramp is emulated by an external capacitor
connected from RAMP pin to AGND and a series resistor connected between SW and RAMP. The ramp resistor
must not be connected to VIN directly because the RAMP pin voltage rating could be exceeded under high VIN
conditions. The ramp created by the external resistor and capacitor has a slope proportional to the rising inductor
current plus some additional slope required for slope compensation. Connecting the RAMP pin resistor to SW
provides optimum slope compensation with a RAMP capacitor slope that is proportional to VIN. This adaptive
slope compensation eliminates the requirement for additional slope compensation circuitry with high output
voltage set points and frees the user from additional concerns in this area. The emulated ramp signal is
approximately linear and the ramp slope is given in Equation 2.

The factor of 10 Equation 2 corresponds to the internal current sense amplifier gain of the LM25119. The K factor
is a constant which adds additional slope for robust pulse-width modulation control at lower input voltages. In
practice this constant can be varied from 1 to 3. RS is the external sense resistor value.
The voltage on the ramp capacitor is given with Equation 3and Equation 4.

Choose either CRAMP or RRAMP and use Equation 5 to calculate the other component.
The difference between the average inductor current and the DC value of the sampled inductor current can
cause instability for certain operating conditions. This instability is known as sub-harmonic oscillation, which
occurs when the inductor ripple current does not return to its initial value by the start of next switching cycle.
Sub-harmonic oscillation is normally characterized by alternating wide and narrow pulses at the switch node. The
ramp equation above contains the optimum amount of slope compensation, however extra slope compensation is
easily added by selecting a lower value for RRAMP or CRAMP.
7.3.7 Current Limit
The LM25119 contains a current limit monitoring scheme to protect the regulator from possible overcurrent
conditions. When set correctly, the emulated current signal is proportional to the buck switch current with a scale
factor determined by the current limit sense resistor, RS, and current sense amplifier gain. The emulated signal is
applied to the current limit comparator. If the emulated ramp signal exceeds 1.2 V, the present cycle is
terminated (cycle-by-cycle current limiting). Shown in Figure 10 is the current limit comparator and a simplified
current measurement schematic. In applications with small output inductance and high input voltage, the switch
current may overshoot due to the propagation delay of the current limit comparator. If an overshoot must occur,
the sample-and-hold circuit detects the excess recirculating current before the buck switch is turned on again. If
the sample-and-hold DC level exceeds the internal current limit threshold, the buck switch is disabled and skip
pulses until the current has decayed below the current limit threshold. This approach prevents current runaway
conditions due to propagation delays or inductor saturation because the inductor current is forced to decay to a
controlled level following any current overshoot.

7.3.8 Hiccup Mode Current Limiting
To further protect the regulator during prolonged current limit conditions, an internal counter counts the PWM
clock cycles during which cycle-by-cycle current limiting occurs. When the counter detects 256 consecutive
cycles of current limiting, the regulator enters a low power dissipation hiccup mode with the HO and LO outputs
disabled. The restart timer pin, RES, and an external capacitor configure the hiccup mode current limiting. A
capacitor on the RES pin (CRES) determines the time the controller remains in low power standby mode before
automatically restarting. A 10-µA current source charges the RES pin capacitor to the 1.25-V threshold which
restarts the overloaded channel. The two regulator channels operate independently. One channel may operate
normally while the other is in the hiccup mode overload protection. The hiccup mode commences when either
channel experiences 256 consecutive PWM cycles with cycle-by-cycle current limiting. If that occurs, the
overloaded channel turns off and remains off for the duration of the RES pin timer.
The hiccup mode current-limiting function can be disabled. The RES configuration is latched during initial power
up when UVLO is above 1.25 V and VCC1 and VCC2 are above their UV thresholds, determining hiccup or nonhiccup current limiting. If the RES pin is tied to VCC at initial power on, hiccup current limit is disabled.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.9 Soft Start
The soft-start feature allows the regulator to gradually reach the steady-state operating point, thus reducing startup stresses and surges. The LM25119 regulates the FB pin to the SS pin voltage or the internal 0.8-V reference,
whichever is lower. At the beginning of the soft-start sequence when SS = 0 V, the internal 10-µA soft-start
current source gradually increases the voltage on an external soft-start capacitor (CSS) connected to the SS pin
resulting in a gradual rise of the FB and output voltages.
Either regulator channel of the LM25119 can be disabled by pulling the corresponding SS pin to AGND.
7.3.10 HO and LO Output Drivers
The LM25119 contains a high-current, high-side driver and associated high voltage level shift to drive the buck
switch of each regulator channel. This gate driver circuit works in conjunction with an external diode and
bootstrap capacitor. A 0.1 µF or larger ceramic capacitor, connected with short traces between the HB pin and
SW pin, is recommended. During the OFF-time of the high-side MOSFET, the SW pin voltage is approximately 0
V and the bootstrap capacitor charges from VCC through the external bootstrap diode. When operating with a
high PWM duty cycle, the buck switch is forced off each cycle for 320 ns to ensure that the bootstrap capacitor is
recharged.
The LO and HO outputs are controlled with an adaptive dead-time methodology which insures that both outputs
are never enabled at the same time. When the controller commands HO to be enabled, the adaptive dead-time
logic first disables LO and waits for the LO voltage to drop. HO is then enabled after a small delay. Similarly, the
LO turnon is disabled until the HO voltage has discharged. This methodology insures adequate dead-time for any
size MOSFET.
Exercise care in selecting an output MOSFET with the appropriate threshold voltage, especially if VCC is
supplied from the regulator output. During start-up at low input voltages the MOSFET threshold must be lower
than the 4-V VCC undervoltage lockout threshold. Otherwise, there may be insufficient VCC voltage to
completely turn on the MOSFET as VCC undervoltage lockout is released during start-up. If the buck switch
MOSFET gate drive is not sufficient, the regulator may not start or it may hang up momentarily in a high power
dissipation state. This condition can be avoided by selecting a MOSFET with a lower threshold voltage or if VCC
is supplied from an external source higher than the output voltage. If the minimum input voltage programmed by
the UVLO pin resistor divider is above the VCC regulation level, this precaution is of no concern.
7.3.11 Maximum Duty Cycle
When operating with a high PWM duty cycle, the buck switch is forced off each cycle for 320 ns to ensure the
bootstrap capacitor is recharged and to allow time to sample and hold the current in the low-side MOSFET. This
forced OFF-time limits the maximum duty cycle of the controller. When designing a regulator with high switching
frequency and high duty cycle requirements, make sure to check the required maximum duty cycle (including
losses) against the graph shown in Figure 11.
The actual maximum duty cycle varies with the operating frequency in Equation 6.

7.3.12 Thermal Protection
Internal thermal shutdown circuitry is provided to protect the integrated circuit in the event the maximum junction
temperature is exceeded. When activated, typically at 165°C, the controller is forced into a low-power reset state,
disabling the output driver and the VCC bias regulators. This feature is designed to prevent catastrophic failures
from overheating and destroying the device.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Diode Emulation
A fully synchronous buck regulator implemented with a free-wheel MOSFET rather than a diode has the
capability to sink current from the output in certain conditions such as light load, overvoltage, or prebias start-up.
The LM25119 provides a diode emulation feature that can be enabled to prevent reverse (drain to source)
current flow in the low-side, free-wheel MOSFET. When configured for diode emulation, the low-side MOSFET is
disabled when reverse current flow is detected. The benefit of this configuration is lower power loss at no load or
light load conditions and the ability to turn on into a prebiased output without discharging the output. The diode
emulation mode allows for start-up into prebiased loads, because it prevents reverse current flow as the soft-start
capacitor charges to the regulation level during start-up. The negative effect of diode emulation is degraded light
load transient response times. Enabling the diode emulation feature is recommended and allows discontinuous
conduction operation. The diode emulation feature is configured with the DEMB pin. To enable diode emulation,
connect the DEMB pin to ground or leave the pin floating. If continuous conduction operation is desired, the
DEMB pin must be tied to either VCC1 or VCC2.

8 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. 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
8.1.1 Miscellaneous Functions
EN2 is left floating which allows channel2 to always remain enabled. If EN2 is pulled below 2 V, channel2 is
disabled.
The DEMB pin is left floating because this design uses diode emulation. For fully synchronous (continuous
conduction) operation, connect the DEMB to a voltage greater than 2.6 V.
VCCDIS is left floating to enable the internal VCC regulators. To disable the internal VCC regulators, connect this
pin to a voltage greater than 1.25 V.
8.1.2 Interleaved Operation
Interleaved operation can offer many advantages in single-output, high-current applications. The output power
path is split between two identical channels reducing the current in each channel by one-half. Ripple current
reduction in the output capacitors is reduced significantly because each channel operates 180 degrees out of
phase from the other. Ripple reduction is greatest at 50% duty cycle and decreases as the duty cycle varies
away from 50%.
Refer to Figure 12 to estimate the ripple current reduction. Also, the effective ripple in the input and output
capacitors occurs at twice the frequency of a single-channel design due to the combining of the two channels. All
of these factors are advantageous in managing the higher currents and their effects in a high power design.
Figure 12. Cancellation Factor vs Duty Cycle for Output Capacitor
To begin an interleaved design, use the previous equations in this datasheet to first calculate the required value
of components using one-half the current in the output power path. The attenuation factor in Figure 12 is the ratio
of the output capacitor ripple to the inductor ripple versus duty cycle. The inductor ripple used in this calculation
is the ripple in either inductor in a two phase design, not the ripple calculated for a single phase design of the
same output power. It can be observed that operation around 50% duty cycle results in almost complete ripple
attenuation in the output capacitor. Figure 12 can be used to calculate the amount of ripple attenuation in the
output capacitors.

Application Information (continued)
Figure 13. Normalized Input Capacitor RMS Ripple Current vs Duty Cycle
Figure 13 illustrates the ripple current reduction in the input capacitors due to interleaving. As with the output
capacitors, there is near perfect ripple reduction near 50% duty cycle. This plot can be used to calculate the
ripple in the input capacitors at any duty cycle. In designs with large duty cycle swings, use the worst-case ripple
reduction for the design.
To configure the LM25119 for interleaved operation, connect COMP1 and COMP2 pins together at the IC.
Connecting the FB2 pin to VCC2 pin disables the channel2 error amplifier with a high output impedance at
COMP2. Connect the compensation network between FB1 and the common COMP pins. Connect the two power
stages together at the output capacitors. Finally use the plots in Figure 12 and Figure 13 along with the duty
cycle range to determine the amount of output and input capacitor ripple reduction. Frequently more capacitance
than necessary is used in a design just to meet ESR requirements. Reducing the capacitance based solely on
ripple reduction graphs alone may violate this requirement.
In the LM25119 evaluation board (schematic shown in Figure 14) interleaved operation can be enabled by
shorting both outputs together (with identical components in the power train), and using zero ohm resistors for
R22 and R21. This shorts VCC2 to FB2 and COMP2 to COMP1 respectively. Also the channel2 feedback
network C14, R6, and C15 must be removed. The easy re-configuration between two-channel and single-channel
operation allows insight into the benefits of interleaved operation.

8.2.1 Design Requirements
8.2.1.1 External Components
The procedure for calculating the external components is illustrated with the following design example. Only the
values for the 3.3 V output are calculated because the procedure is the same for the 1.8-V output. The circuit
shown in Figure 14 is configured for the following specifications:
• CH1 output voltage, VOUT1 = 3.3 V
• CH2 output voltage, VOUT2 = 1.8 V
• CH1 maximum load current, IOUT1 = 8 A
• CH2 maximum load current, IOUT2 = 8 A
• Minimum input voltage, VIN(MIN) = 6 V
• Maximum input voltage, VIN(MAX) = 36 V
• Switching frequency, fSW = 230 kHz
Some component values were chosen as a compromise between the 3.3-V and 1.8-V outputs to allow identical
components to be used on both outputs. This design can be reconfigured in a dual-channel interleaved
configuration with a single 3.3-V output which requires identical power channels.
8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.2.1 Timing Resistor
RT sets the switching frequency of each regulator channel. Generally, higher frequency applications are smaller
but have higher losses. Operation at 230 kHz was selected for this example as a reasonable compromise
between small size and high efficiency. The value of RT for 230-kHz switching frequency is calculated with
Equation 7.

A standard value or 22.1 kΩ was chosen for RT. The internal oscillator frequency is twice the switching frequency
and is about 460 kHz.

and output voltages.

The maximum ripple current occurs at the maximum input voltage. Typically, IPP is 20% to 40% of the full load
current. When operating in the diode emulation mode configuration, the maximum ripple current must be less
than twice the minimum load current. For full synchronous operation, higher ripple current is acceptable. Higher
ripple current allows for a smaller inductor size, but places more of a burden on the output capacitor to smooth
the ripple current. For this example in Equation 9, a ripple current of 25% of 8 A was chosen as a compromise
for the 1.8-V output.

8.2.2.3 Current Sense Resistor
Before determining the value of current sense resistor (RS), it is valuable to understand the K factor, which is the
ramp slope multiple chosen for slope compensation. The K factor can vary from 1 to 3 in practice and is defined
with Equation 12.

The performance of the converter varies depending on the selected K value (see Table 1). For this example, 3
was chosen as the K factor to minimize the power loss in sense resistor RS and the cross-talk between channels.
Crosstalk between the two regulators under certain conditions is observed on the output as switch jitter.
The maximum output current capability (IOUT(MAX)) must be about 20% to 50% higher than the required output
current, (8 A at VOUT1) to account for tolerances and ripple current. For this example, 130% of 8 A was chosen
(10.4 A). The current sense resistor value is calculated with Equation 13 and the example (Equation 14).

The chosen inductor must be evaluated for this condition, especially at elevated temperature where the
saturation current rating of the inductor may drop significantly. At the maximum input voltage with a shorted
output, the valley current must fall below VCS(TH) / RS before the high-side MOSFET is allowed to turn on.
8.2.2.4 Ramp Resistor and Ramp Capacitor
The value of ramp capacitor (CRAMP) must be less than 2 nF to allow full discharge between cycles by the
discharge switch internal to the LM25119. A good-quality, thermally-stable ceramic capacitor with 5% or less
tolerance is recommended. For this design the value of CRAMP was set at the standard capacitor value of 820 pF.
With the inductor, sense resistor and the K factor selected, the value of the ramp resistor (RRAMP) is calculated
with Equation 19 and the example (Equation 20). The standard value of 34 kΩ was selected.

conditions. For this design example, a 680-µF electrolytic capacitor with 10-mΩ ESR was selected as the main
output capacitor. The fundamental component of the output ripple voltage is approximated with Equation 21 and

8.2.2.6 Input Capacitors
The regulator input supply voltage typically has high source impedance at the switching frequency. Good-quality
input capacitors are necessary to limit the ripple voltage at the VIN pin while supplying most of the switch current
during the ON-time. When the buck switch turns on, the current into the buck switch steps to the valley of the
inductor current waveform, ramps up to the peak value, and then drops to the zero at turnoff. The input
capacitance must be selected for RMS current rating and minimum ripple voltage. A good approximation for the
required ripple current rating necessary is IRMS > IOUT / 2. Seven 2.2-μF ceramic capacitors were used for each
channel. With ceramic capacitors, the input ripple voltage is triangular. The input ripple voltage with one channel
operating is approximately Equation 24 and the example (Equation 25).

The ripple voltage of the input capacitors is reduced significantly with dual-channel operation because each
channel operates 180 degrees out of phase from the other. Capacitors connected in parallel must be evaluated
for RMS current rating. The current splits between the input capacitors based on the relative impedance of the
capacitors at the switching frequency.
When the converter is connected to an input power source, a resonant circuit is formed by the line inductance
and the input capacitors. To minimize overshoot make CIN > 10 x LIN. The characteristic source impedance (ZS)
and resonant frequency (fS) are Equation 26 and the example (Equation 27).

When δ = 1, the input filter is critically damped. This may be difficult to achieve with practical component values.
With δ < 0.2, the input filter exhibits significant ringing. If δ is zero or negative, there is not enough resistance in
the circuit and the input filter sustains an oscillation. When operating near the minimum input voltage, a bulk
aluminum electrolytic capacitor across CIN may be needed to damp the input for a typical bench test setup.
8.2.2.7 VCC Capacitor
The primary purpose of the VCC capacitor (CVCC) is to supply the peak transient currents of the LO driver and
bootstrap diode as well as provide stability for the VCC regulator. These peak currents can be several amperes.
TI recommends the value of CVCC must be no smaller than 0.47 µF, and be a good-quality, low-ESR, ceramic
capacitor located at the pins of the IC to minimize potentially damaging voltage transients caused by trace
inductance. A value of 1 μF was selected for this design.

The bootstrap capacitor between the HB and SW pins supplies the gate current to charge the high-side MOSFET
gate at each cycle’s turnon and recovery charge for the bootstrap diode. These current peaks can be several
amperes. TI recommends the value of the bootstrap capacitor is at least 0.1 μF, and be a good-quality, low-ESR,
ceramic capacitor located at the pins of the IC to minimize potentially damaging voltage transients caused by
trace inductance. The absolute minimum value for the bootstrap capacitor is calculated with Equation 30. A value

The UVLO threshold is internally set to 1.25 V at the UVLO pin. The LM25119 is enabled when the system input
voltage VIN causes the UVLO pin to exceed the threshold voltage of 1.25 V. When the UVLO pin voltage is
below the threshold, the internal 20-μA current source is disabled. When the UVLO pin voltage exceeds the
1.25-V threshold, the 20-μA current source is enabled causing the UVLO pin voltage to increase, providing
hysteresis. The values of RUV1 and RUV2 can be determined from Equation 34 and the example (Equation 35).

application, RUV2 was selected to be 52.3 kΩ and RUV1was selected to be 15 kΩ. The LM25119 can be remotely
shutdown by taking the UVLO pin below 0.4 V with an external open-collector or open-drain device. The outputs
and the VCC regulator are disabled in shutdown mode. Capacitor CFT provides filtering for the divider. A value of
100 pF was chosen for CFT. The voltage at the UVLO pin must never exceed 15 V when using the external setpoint divider. It may be necessary to clamp the UVLO pin at high input voltages.

8.2.2.13 MOSFET Selection
Selection of the power MOSFETs is governed by the same tradeoffs as switching frequency. Breaking down the
losses in the high-side and low-side MOSFETs is one way to compare the relative efficiencies of different
devices. When using discrete SO-8 MOSFETs, generally the output current capability range is 2 A to 10 A.
Losses in the power MOSFETs can be broken down into conduction loss, gate charging loss, and switching loss.
Conduction loss PDC is approximately Equation 36 and the example (Equation 37).

Gate charge loss differs from conduction and switching losses in that the actual dissipation occurs in the
LM25119 and not in the MOSFET itself. Further loss in the LM25119 is incurred if the gate driving current is
supplied by the internal linear regulator.
Switching loss occurs during the brief transition period as the MOSFET turns on and off. During the transition
period both current and voltage are present in the channel of the MOSFET. The switching loss can be
approximated with Equation 39.

where
•
tR and tF are the rise and fall times of the MOSFET
(39)
The rise and fall times are usually mentioned in the MOSFET datasheet or can be empirically observed with an
oscilloscope. Switching loss is calculated for the high-side MOSFET only. Switching loss in the low-side
MOSFET is negligible because the body diode of the low-side MOSFET turns on before the MOSFET itself,
minimizing the voltage from drain to source before turnon. For this example, the maximum drain-to-source
voltage applied to either MOSFET is 36 V. The selected MOSFETs must be able to withstand 36 V plus any
ringing from drain to source, and be able to handle at least the VCC voltage plus any ringing from gate to source.
A good choice of MOSFET for the 36-V input design example is the SI7884. It has an RDS(ON) of 7.5 mΩ and total
gate charge of 21 nC. In applications where a high step-down ratio is maintained in normal operation, efficiency
may be optimized by choosing a high-side MOSFET with lower Qg, and low-side MOSFET with lower RDS(ON).
8.2.2.14 MOSFET Snubber
A resistor-capacitor snubber network across the low-side MOSFET reduces ringing and spikes at the switching
node. Excessive ringing and spikes can cause erratic operation and couple noise to the output. Selecting the
values for the snubber is best accomplished through empirical methods. First, make sure the lead lengths for the
snubber connections are very short. Start with a resistor value between 5 and 50 Ω. Increasing the value of the
snubber capacitor results in more damping, but higher snubber losses. Select a minimum value for the snubber
capacitor that provides adequate damping of the spikes on the switch waveform at high load. A snubber may not
be necessary with an optimized layout.
8.2.2.15 Error Amplifier Compensation
RCOMP, CCOMP, and CHF configure the error amplifier gain characteristics to accomplish a stable voltage loop gain.
One advantage of current mode control is the ability to close the loop with only two feedback components, RCOMP
and CCOMP. The voltage loop gain is the product of the modulator gain and the error amplifier gain. For the 3.3-V
output design example, the modulator is treated as an ideal voltage-to-current converter. The DC modulator gain
of the LM25119 can be modeled with Equation 40.

NOTE

DC Gain(MOD) = 0.413 Ω / (10 x 8 mΩ) = 5.16 = 14.2 dB
For the 3.3-V design example, the modulator gain versus frequency characteristic is shown in Figure 18.

Figure 18. Modulator Gain and Phase
Components RCOMP and CCOMP configure the error amplifier as a Type II configuration. The DC gain of the
amplifier is 80 dB with a pole at 0 Hz and a zero at fZEA = 1 / (2 π x RCOMP x CCOMP). The error amplifier zero
cancels the modulator pole leaving a single pole response at the crossover frequency of the voltage loop. A
single pole response at the crossover frequency yields a very stable loop with 90 degrees of phase margin. For
the design example, a conservative target loop bandwidth (crossover frequency) of 11 kHz was selected. The
compensation network zero (fZEA) must be selected at least an order of magnitude less than the target crossover
frequency. This constrains the product of RCOMP and CCOMP for a desired compensation network zero 1 / (2 π x
RCOMP x CCOMP) to be about 1.1 kHz. Increasing RCOMP, while proportionally decreasing CCOMP, increases the
error amp gain. Conversely, decreasing RCOMP while proportionally increasing CCOMP, decreases the error amp
gain. For the design example, CCOMP was selected as 6800 pF and RCOMP was selected as 36.5 kΩ. These
values configure the compensation network zero at 640 Hz. The error amp gain at frequencies greater than fZEA
is: RCOMP / RFB2, which is approximately 5.22 (14.3 dB).

If a network analyzer is available, the modulator gain can be measured and the error amplifier gain can be
configured for the desired loop transfer function. If the K factor is between 2 and 3, the stability must be checked
with the network analyzer. If a network analyzer is not available, the error amplifier compensation components
can be designed with the guidelines given. Step load transient tests can be performed to verify acceptable
performance. The step load goal is minimum overshoot with a damped response. CHF can be added to the
compensation network to decrease noise susceptibility of the error amplifier. The value of CHF must be
sufficiently small because the addition of this capacitor adds a pole in the error amplifier transfer function. This
pole must be well beyond the loop crossover frequency. A good approximation of the location of the pole added
by CHF is: fP2 = fZEA × CCOMP / CHF. The value of CHF was selected as 100 pF for the design example.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
LM25119 is a power management device. The power supply for the device is an DC voltage source within the
specified input range.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
The LM25119 consists of two integrated regulators operating almost independently. Crosstalk between the two
regulators under certain conditions may be observed as switch jitter. This effect is common for any dual-channel
regulator. Crosstalk effects are usually most severe when one channel is operating around 50% duty cycle.
Careful layout practices help to minimize this effect. The following board layout guidelines apply specifically to
the LM25119 and must be followed for best performance.
1. Keep the Loop1 and Loop2, shown in Figure 23, as small as possible
2. Keep the signal and power grounds separate
3. Place VCC capacitors (C6, C7) and VIN capacitor (C9) as closes as possible to the LM25119
4. Route CS and CSG traces together with Kelvin connection to the sense resistor
5. Connect AGND and PGND directly to the underside exposed pad
6. Ensure there are no high current paths beneath the underside exposed pad
10.1.1 Switching Jitter Root Causes and Solutions
1. Noise coupling of the high frequency switching between two channels through the input power rail
(a) Keep the high current path as short as possible
(b) Choose a FET with minimum lead inductance
(c) Place local bypass capacitors (CIN1, CIN2) as close as possible to the high-side FETs to isolate one
channel from the high frequency noise of the other channel
(d) Slow down the SW switching speed by increasing gate resistors R29 and R30
(e) Minimize the effective ESR or ESL of the input capacitor by paralleling input capacitors
2. High frequency AC noise on FB, CS, CSG and COMP
(a) Use the star ground PCB layout technique and minimize the length of the high current path

The bold lines indicate a solid ground plane. Make the traces to the widest and
the shortest and use the star ground technique.
These lines indicate the high current paths. Make the traces as wide and short
as possible
These lines indicate the small signal paths. The traces can be narrow but keep
them away from any radiated noise and away from traces that may couple
noise capacitively
These points require the maximum bypassing of the high frequency switching
noise. Isolate each channel from the high frequency switching noise of the
other channel.

information and additional product content details.
TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that
lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between
the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above.
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight
in homogeneous material)

of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
