ceeding 1A. This feature can also be used to soft-start the
regulator. Thermal Shutdown circuitry holds the driver logic in
reset when the die temperature reaches 165°C, and returns
to normal operation when the die temperature drops by approximately 20°C. The EN pin can be used as an input voltage
under voltage lockout (UVLO) during start-up to prevent operation with less than the minimum desired input voltage.
Functional Description
The LM5001 high voltage switching regulator features all the
functions necessary to implement an efficient boost, flyback,
SEPIC or forward current mode power converter. The operation can be best understood by referring to the block diagram. At the start of each cycle, the oscillator sets the driver
logic and turns on the power MOSFET to conduct current
through the inductor or transformer. The peak current in the
MOSFET is controlled by the voltage at the COMP pin. The
COMP voltage will increase with larger loads and decrease
with smaller loads. This voltage is compared with the sum of
a voltage proportional to the power MOSFET current and an
internally generated Slope Compensation ramp. Slope Compensation is used in current mode PWM architectures to
eliminate sub-harmonic current oscillation that occurs with
static duty cycles greater than 50%. When the summed signal
exceeds the COMP voltage, the PWM comparator resets the
driver logic, turning off the power MOSFET. The driver logic
is then set by the oscillator at the end of the switching cycle
to initiate the next power period.
The LM5001 has dedicated protection circuitry to protect the
IC from abnormal operating conditions. Cycle-by-cycle current limiting prevents the power MOSFET current from exwww.national.com
High Voltage VCC Regulator
The LM5001 VCC Low Drop Out (LDO) regulator allows the
LM5001 to operate at the lowest possible input voltage. The
VCC pin voltage is very nearly equal to the input voltage from
2.8V up to approximately 6.9V. As the input voltage continues
to increase, the VCC pin voltage is regulated at the 6.9V setpoint. The total input operating range of the VCC LDO regulator is 3.1V to 75V.
The output of the VCC regulator is current limited to 20mA.
During power-up, the VCC regulator supplies current into the
required decoupling capacitor (0.47 µF or greater ceramic
capacitor) at the VCC pin. When the voltage at the VCC pin
exceeds the VCC UVLO threshold of 2.8V and the EN pin is
greater than 1.26V the PWM controller is enabled and switch-
8
Enable / Standby
The LM5001 contains a dual level Enable circuit. When the
EN pin voltage is below 450 mV, the IC is in a low current
shutdown mode with the VCC LDO disabled. When the EN
pin voltage is raised above the shutdown threshold but below
the 1.26V standby threshold, the VCC LDO regulator is enabled, while the remainder of the IC is disabled. When the EN
pin voltage is raised above the 1.26V standby threshold, all
functions are enabled and normal operation begins. An internal 6 µA current source pulls up the EN pin to activate the IC
when the EN pin is left disconnected.
An external set-point resistor divider from VIN to GND can be
used to determine the minimum operating input range of the
regulator. The divider must be designed such that the EN pin
exceeds the 1.26V standby threshold when VIN is in the desired operating range. The internal 6 µA current source should
be included when determining the resistor values. The shutdown and standby thresholds have 100 mV hysteresis to
prevent noise from toggling between modes. When the VIN
voltage is below 3.5VDC during start-up and the operating
temperature is below -20°C, the EN pin should have a pull-up
resistor that will provide 2 µA or greater current. The EN pin
is internally protected by a 6V Zener diode through a 1 kΩ
resistor. The enabling voltage may exceed the Zener voltage,
however the Zener current should be limited to less than 4mA.
Oscillator
A single external resistor connected between RT and GND
pins sets the LM5001 oscillator frequency. To set a desired
oscillator frequency (FSW), the necessary value for the RT resistor can be calculated from the following equation:
The tolerance of the external resistor and the frequency tolerance indicated in the Electrical Characteristics must be
taken into account when determining the worst case frequency range.
Error Amplifier and PWM
Comparator
External Synchronization
An internal high gain error amplifier generates an error signal
proportional to the difference between the regulated output
voltage and an internal precision reference. The output of the
error amplifier is connected to the COMP pin allowing the user
to add loop compensation, typically a Type II network, as illustrated in Figure 1. This network creates a low frequency
pole that rolls off the high DC gain of the amplifier, which is
necessary to accurately regulate the output voltage.
FDC_POLE is the closed loop unity gain (0 dB) frequency of this
pole. A zero provides phase boost near the closed loop unity
gain frequency, and a high frequency pole attenuates switching noise. The PWM comparator compares the current sense
signal from the current sense amplifier to the error amplifier
output voltage at the COMP pin.
The LM5001 can be synchronized to the rising edge of an
external clock. The external clock must have a higher frequency than the free running oscillator frequency set by the
RT resistor. The clock signal should be coupled through a
100pF capacitor into the RT pin. A peak voltage level greater
than 2.6V at the RT pin is required for detection of the sync
pulse. The DC voltage across the RT resistor is internally
regulated at 1.5 volts. The negative portion of the AC voltage
of the synchronizing clock is clamped to this 1.5V by an amplifier inside the LM5001 with ~100Ω output impedance.
Therefore, the AC pulse superimposed on the RT resistor
must have positive pulse amplitude of 1.1V or greater to successfully synchronize the oscillator. The sync pulse width
measured at the RT pin should have a duration greater than
9
www.national.com
LM5001
15ns and less than 5% of the switching period. The sync pulse
rising edge initiates the internal CLK signal rising edge, which
turns off the power MOSFET. The RT resistor is always required, whether the oscillator is free running or externally
synchronized. The RT resistor should be located very close
to the device and connected directly to the RT and GND pins
of the LM5001.
ing begins. The controller remains enabled until VCC falls
below 2.7V or the EN pin falls below 1.16V.
An auxiliary supply voltage can be applied to the VCC pin to
reduce the IC power dissipation. If the auxiliary voltage is
greater than 6.9V, the internal regulator will essentially shutoff, and internal power dissipation will be decreased by the
VIN voltage times the operating current. The overall converter
efficiency will also improve if the VIN voltage is much higher
than the auxiliary voltage. The externally applied VCC voltage
should not exceed 14V. The VCC regulator series pass MOSFET includes a body diode (see the Block Diagram) between
VCC and VIN that should not be forward biased in normal
operation. Therefore, the auxiliary VCC voltage should never
exceed the VIN voltage.
In high voltage applications extra care should be taken to ensure the VIN pin does not exceed the absolute maximum
voltage rating of 76V. Voltage ringing on the VIN line during
line transients that exceeds the Absolute Maximum Ratings
will damage the IC. Both careful PC board layout and the use
of quality bypass capacitors located close to the VIN and GND
pins are essential.

FIGURE 1. Type II Compensator
When isolation between primary and secondary circuits is required, the Error Amplifier is usually disabled by connecting
the FB pin to GND. This allows the COMP pin to be driven
directly by the collector of an opto-coupler. In isolated designs
the external error amplifier is located on the secondary circuit
and drives the opto-coupler LED. The compensation network
is connected to the secondary side error amplifier. An example of an isolated regulator with an opto-coupler is shown in
Figure 7.
volts when the power MOSFET turns on, and 450mV at the
end of the PWM clock cycle) adds a fixed slope to the current
sense ramp to prevent oscillation.
To prevent erratic operation at low duty cycle, a leading edge
blanking circuit attenuates the current sense signal when the
power MOSFET is turned on. When the MOSFET is initially
turned on, current spikes from the power MOSFET drainsource and gate-source capacitances flow through the current sense resistor. These transient currents normally cease
within 50 ns with proper selection of rectifier diodes and proper PC board layout.
Current Amplifier and Slope
Compensation
Thermal Protection
The LM5001 employs peak current mode control which also
provides a cycle-by-cycle over current protection feature. An
internal 50 mΩ current sense resistor measures the current
in the power MOSFET source. The sense resistor voltage is
amplified 30 times to provide a 1.5V/A signal into the current
limit comparator. Current limiting is initiated if the internal current limit comparator input exceeds the 1.5V threshold, corresponding to 1A. When the current limit comparator is
triggered, the SW output pin immediately switches to a high
impedance state.
The current sense signal is reduced to a scale factor of 1.05V/
A for the PWM comparator signal. The signal is then summed
with a 450mV peak slope compensation ramp. The combined
signal provides the PWM comparator with a control signal that
reaches 1.5V when the MOSFET current is 1A. For duty cycles greater than 50%, current mode control circuits are subject to sub-harmonic oscillation (alternating between short
and long PWM pulses every other cycle). Adding a fixed slope
voltage ramp signal (slope compensation) to the current
sense signal prevents this oscillation. The 450mV ramp (zero
www.national.com
Internal Thermal Shutdown circuitry is provided to protect the
IC in the event the maximum junction temperature is exceeded. When the 165°C junction temperature threshold is
reached, the regulator is forced into a low power standby
state, disabling all functions except the VCC regulator. Thermal hysteresis allows the IC to cool down before it is reenabled. Note that since the VCC regulator remains functional during this period, the soft-start circuit shown in Figure 5
should be augmented if soft-start from Thermal Shutdown
state is required.
Power MOSFET
The LM5001 switching regulator includes an N-Channel
MOSFET with 440 mΩ on-resistance. The on-resistance of
the LM5001 MOSFET varies with temperature as shown in
the Typical Performance Characteristics graph. The typical
total gate charge for the MOSFET is 4.5 nC which is supplied
from the VCC pin when the MOSFET is turned on.
10
The following information is intended to provide guidelines for
the power supply designer using the LM5001.
VIN
The voltage applied to the VIN pin can vary within the range
of 3.1V to 75V. The current into the VIN pin depends primarily
on the gate charge of the power MOSFET, the switching frequency, and any external load on the VCC pin. It is recommended the filter shown in Figure 2 be used to suppress
transients which may occur at the input supply. This is particularly important when VIN is operated close to the maximum operating rating of the LM5001.
When power is applied and the VIN voltage exceeds 2.8V with
the EN pin voltage greater than 0.45V, the VCC regulator is
enabled, supplying current into the external capacitor connected to the VCC pin. When the VIN voltage is between 2.8V
and 6.9V, the VCC voltage is approximately equal to the VIN
voltage. When the voltage on the VCC pin exceeds 6.9V, the
VCC pin voltage is regulated at 6.9V. In typical flyback applications, an auxiliary transformer winding is connected
through a diode to the VCC pin. This winding must raise the
VCC voltage above 6.9V to shut off the internal start-up regulator. The current requirements from this winding are relatively small, typically less than 20 mA. If the VIN voltage is
much higher than the auxiliary voltage, the auxiliary winding
will significantly improve conversion efficiency. It also reduces
the power dissipation within the LM5001. The externally applied VCC voltage should never exceed 14V. Also the applied
VCC should never exceed the VIN voltage to avoid reverse
current through the internal VCC to VIN diode shown in the
LM5001 block diagram.
EN / UVLO VOLTAGE DIVIDER SELECTION
Two dedicated comparators connected to the EN pin are used
to detect under-voltage and shutdown conditions. When the
EN pin voltage is below 0.45V, the controller is in a low current
shutdown mode where the VIN current is reduced to 95 µA.
For an EN pin voltage greater than 0.45V but less than 1.26V
the controller is in standby mode, with all internal circuits operational, but the PWM gate driver signal is blocked. Once the
EN pin voltage is greater than 1.26V, the controller is fully
enabled. Two external resistors can be used to program the
minimum operational voltage for the power converter as
shown in Figure 3. When the EN pin voltage falls below the
1.26V threshold, an internal 100 mV threshold hysteresis prevents noise from toggling the state, so the voltage must be
reduced to 1.16V to transition to standby. Resistance values
for R1 and R2 can be determined from the following equations:
where V PWR is the desired turn-on voltage and IDIVIDER is an
arbitrary current through R1 and R2.
For example, if the LM5001 is to be enabled when VPWR
reaches 16V, IDIVIDER could be chosen as 501 µA which would
set R1 to 29.4 kΩ and R2 to 2.49 kΩ. The voltage at the EN
pin should not exceed 10V unless the current into the 6V protection Zener diode is limited below 4 mA. The EN pin voltage
should not exceed 14V at any time. Be sure to check both the
power and voltage rating (some 0603 resistors are rated as
low as 50V) for the selected R1 resistor.

stored in parasitic inductance and capacitance which cause
switching spikes that negatively effect efficiency, and conducted and radiated emissions. These connections should be
as short as possible to reduce inductance and as wide as
possible to reduce resistance. The loop area, defined by the
SW and GND pin connections, the transformer or inductor
terminals, and their respective return paths, should be minimized.

FIGURE 3. Basic EN (UVLO) Configuration
Remote configuration of the controller’s operational modes
can be accomplished with open drain device(s) connected to
the EN pin as shown in Figure 4. A MOSFET or an NPN transistor connected to the EN pin can force the regulator into the
low power ‘off’ state. Adding a PN diode in the drain (or collector) provides the offset to achieve the standby state. The
advantage of standby is that the VCC LDO is not disabled and
external circuitry powered by VCC remains functional.
20215711
FIGURE 4. Remote Standby and Disable Control
resistor (~5 kΩ) will supply the charging current to the SS capacitor. The SS capacitor will cause the COMP voltage to
gradually increase, until the output voltage achieves regulation and FB assumes control of the COMP and the PWM duty
cycle. The SS capacitor continues charging through a large
resistance, RSS, preventing the SS circuit from interfering with
the normal error amplifier function. During shutdown, the VCC
diode discharges the SS capacitor.
SOFTSTART
Soft-start (SS) can be implemented with an external capacitor
connected to COMP through a diode as shown in Figure 5.
The COMP discharge MOSFET conducts during Shutdown
and Standby modes to keep the COMP voltage below the
PWM offset (1.3V), which inhibits PWM pulses. The error amplifier will attempt to raise the COMP voltage after the EN pin
exceeds the 1.26V standby threshold. Because the error amplifier output can only sink current, the internal COMP pull-up

soft-start circuit can be adjusted to limit the power-on output
voltage overshoot. If the output capacitance is sufficiently
large, no soft-start circuit is needed because the LM5001 will
gradually charge the output capacitor by current limiting at
approximately 1A (ILIM) until regulation is achieved.
Printed Circuit Board Layout
The LM5001 Current Sense and PWM comparators are very
fast and may respond to short duration noise pulses. The
components at the SW, COMP, EN and the RT pins should
be as physically close as possible to the IC, thereby minimizing noise pickup on the PC board tracks.
The SW output pin of the LM5001 should have a short, wide
conductor to the power path inductors, transformers and capacitors in order to minimize parasitic inductance that reduces
efficiency and increases conducted and radiated noise. Ceramic decoupling capacitors are recommended between the
VIN pin to the GND pin and between the VCC pin to the GND
pin. Use short, direct connections to avoid clock jitter due to
ground voltage differentials. Small package surface mount
X7R or X5R capacitors are preferred for high frequency performance and limited variation over temperature and applied
voltage.
If an application using the LM5001 produces high junction
temperatures during normal operation, multiple vias from the
GND pin to a PC board ground plane will help conduct heat
away from the IC. Judicious positioning of the PC board within
the end product, along with use of any available air flow will
help reduce the junction temperatures. If using forced air
cooling, avoid placing the LM5001 in the airflow shadow of
large components, such as input capacitors, inductors or
transformers.
ISOLATED FLYBACK
The Isolated Flyback converter (Figure 7) utilizes a 2.5V voltage reference (LM431) located on the isolated secondary
side for the regulation setpoint. The LM5001 internal error
amplifier is disabled by grounding the FB pin. The LM431
controls the current through the opto-coupler LED, which sets
the COMP pin voltage. The R4 and C3 network boosts the
phase response of the opto-coupler to increase the loop
bandwidth. The output is +5V at 1A and the input voltage
ranges from 16V to 42V. The switching frequency is set to
250kHz.
BOOST
The Boost converter (Figure 8) utilizes the internal voltage
reference for the regulation setpoint. The output is +48V at
150mA, while the input voltage can vary from 16V to 36V. The
switching frequency is set to 250kHz. The internal VCC regulator provides 6.9V bias power, since there isn’t a simple
method for creating an auxiliary voltage with the boost topology. Note that the boost topology does not provide output
short-circuit protection because the power MOSFET cannot
interrupt the path between the input and the output.
Application Circuit Examples
24V SEPIC
The 24V SEPIC converter (Figure 9) utilizes the internal voltage reference for the regulation setpoint. The output is +24V
at 250mA while the input voltage can vary from 16V to 48V.
The switching frequency is set to 250kHz. The internal VCC
regulator provides 6.9V bias power for the LM5001. An auxiliary voltage can be created by adding a winding on L2 and
a diode into the VCC pin.
The following schematics present examples of a Non-Isolated
Flyback, Isolated Flyback, Boost, 24V SEPIC and a 12V Automotive range SEPIC converters utilizing the LM5001
switching regulator.
NON-ISOLATED FLYBACK
The Non-Isolated Flyback converter (Figure 6) utilizes the internal voltage reference for the regulation setpoint. The output
is +5V at 1A while the input voltage can vary from 16V to 42V.
The switching frequency is set to 250kHz. An auxiliary winding on transformer (T1) provides 7.5V to power the LM5001
when the output is in regulation. This disables the internal high
voltage VCC LDO regulator and improves efficiency. The input under-voltage threshold is 13.9V. The converter can be
shut down by driving the EN input below 1.26V with an opencollector or open-drain transistor. An external synchronizing
frequency can be applied to the SYNC input. An optional softstart circuit is connected to the COMP pin input. When power
is applied, the soft-start capacitor (C7) is discharged and limits the voltage applied to the PWM comparator by the internal
error amplifier. The internal ~5 kΩ COMP pull-up resistor
charges the soft-start capacitor until regulation is achieved.
The VCC pull-up resistor (R7) continues to charge C7 so that
the soft-start circuit will not affect the compensation network
in normal operation. If the output capacitance is small, the

12V AUTOMOTIVE SEPIC
The 12V Automotive SEPIC converter (Figure 10) utilizes the
internal bandgap voltage reference for the regulation setpoint.
The output is +12V at 50mA while the input voltage can vary
from 3.1V to 60V. The output current rating can be increased
if the minimum VIN voltage requirement is increased. The
switching frequency is set to 750kHz. The internal VCC regulator provides 6.9V bias power for the LM5001. The output
voltage can be used as an auxiliary voltage if the nominal VIN
voltage is greater than 12V by adding a diode from the output
into the VCC pin. In this configuration, the minimum input
voltage must be greater than 12V to prevent the internal VCC
to VIN diode from conducting. If the applied VCC voltage exceeds the minimum VIN voltage, then an external blocking
diode is required between the VIN pin and the power source
to block current flow from VCC to the input supply.
