LM5009
150 mA, 100V Step-Down Switching Regulator
General Description
Features
The LM5009 Step Down Switching Regulator features all of
the functions needed to implement a low cost, efficient, Buck
bias regulator. This device is capable of driving a 150 mA
load current from a 9.5V to 95V input source. The switching
frequency can exceed 600 kHz, depending on the input and
output voltages. The output voltage may be set from 2.5V to
85V. This high voltage regulator contains an N-Channel buck
switch and internal startup regulator. The device is easy to
implement and is provided in the MSOP-8 and the thermally
enhanced LLP-8 packages. The LM5009 is a well suited
alternative to a high voltage monolithic or discrete linear
solution where the power loss becomes unacceptable. The
regulator’s operation is based on a hysteretic control
scheme using an ON time inversely proportional to VIN. This
feature allows the operating frequency to remain relatively
constant over load and input voltage variations. The hysteretic control requires no loop compensation, resulting in an
ultra-fast transient response. An intelligent current limit is
implemented with forced OFF time, which is inversely proportional to Vout. This scheme ensures short circuit protection while providing minimum foldback. Other features include: Thermal Shutdown, Vcc under-voltage lockout, Gate
drive under-voltage lockout, and Maximum Duty Cycle limiter.

at least the minimum off-timer period of 300 ns. If FB is still
below the reference at that time the switch will turn on again
for another on-time period. This will continue until regulation
is achieved, at which time the off-time increases based on
the required duty cycle.
The LM5009 operates in discontinuous conduction mode at
light load currents, and continuous conduction mode at
heavy load current. In discontinuous conduction mode, current through the output inductor starts at zero and ramps up
to a peak during the on-time, then ramps back to zero before
the end of the off-time. The next on-time period starts when
the voltage at FB falls below the internal reference - until
then the inductor current remains zero. In this mode the
operating frequency is lower than in continuous conduction
mode, and varies with load current. Therefore at light loads
the conversion efficiency is maintained, since the switching
losses reduce with the reduction in load and frequency. The
discontinuous operating frequency can be calculated as follows:
Functional Description
The LM5009 Step Down Switching Regulator features all the
functions needed to implement a low cost, efficient, Buck
bias power converter. This high voltage regulator contains a
100 V N-Channel Buck Switch, is easy to implement and is
provided in the MSOP-8 and the thermally enhanced LLP-8
packages. The regulator is based on a hysteretic control
scheme using an on-time inversely proportional to VIN. The
hysteretic control requires no loop compensation. Current
limit is implemented with forced off-time, which is inversely
proportional to VOUT. This scheme ensures short circuit protection while providing minimum foldback. The Functional
Block Diagram of the LM5009 is shown in Figure 1.
The LM5009 can be applied in numerous applications to
efficiently regulate down higher voltages. This regulator is
well suited for 48 Volt Telecom and the 42V Automotive
power bus ranges. Additional features include: Thermal
Shutdown, VCC under-voltage lockout, Gate drive undervoltage lockout, Max Duty Cycle limit timer and the intelligent
current limit off timer.
Hysteretic Control Circuit
Overview
where RL = the load resistance
In continuous conduction mode, current flows continuously
through the inductor and never ramps down to zero. In this
mode the operating frequency is greater than the discontinuous mode frequency and remains relatively constant with
load and line variations. The approximate continuous mode
operating frequency can be calculated as follows:
The LM5009 is a Buck DC-DC regulator that uses a control
scheme in which the on-time varies inversely with line voltage (VIN). Control is based on a comparator and the on-time
one-shot, with the output voltage feedback (FB) compared to
an internal reference (2.5V). If the FB level is below the
reference the buck switch is turned on for a fixed time
determined by the line voltage and a programming resistor
(RON). Following the ON period the switch will remain off for

LM5009
Hysteretic Control Circuit
Overview (Continued)
(1)
The output voltage (VOUT) is programmed by two external
resistors as shown in Figure 1. The regulation point is calculated as follows:
VOUT = 2.5 x (R1 + R2) / R2
All hysteretic regulators regulate the output voltage based on
ripple voltage at the feedback input, requiring a minimum
amount of ESR for the output capacitor C2. A minimum of
25mV of ripple voltage at the feedback pin (FB) is required
for the LM5009. In cases where the capacitor ESR is too
small, additional series resistance may be required (R3 in
Figure 1).
For applications where lower output voltage ripple is required the output can be taken directly from a low ESR
output capacitor, as shown in Figure 2. However, R3 slightly
degrades the load regulation.
20165806
FIGURE 3. Self Biased Configuration
Regulation Comparator
The feedback voltage at FB is compared to an internal 2.5V
reference. In normal operation (the output voltage is regulated), an on-time period is initiated when the voltage at FB
falls below 2.5V. The buck switch will stay on for the programmed on-time, causing the FB voltage to rise above
2.5V. After the on-time period, the buck switch will stay off
until the FB voltage again falls below 2.5V. During start-up,
the FB voltage will be below 2.5V at the end of each on-time,
resulting in the minimum off-time. Bias current at the FB pin
is less than 5 nA over temperature.
Over-Voltage Comparator
20165805
The feedback voltage at FB is compared to an internal
2.875V reference. If the voltage at FB rises above 2.875V
the on-time pulse is immediately terminated. This condition
can occur if the input voltage, or the output load, change
suddenly. The buck switch will not turn on again until the
voltage at FB falls below 2.5V.
FIGURE 2. Low Ripple Output Configuration
High Voltage Start-Up Regulator
The LM5009 contains an internal high voltage startup regulator. The input pin (VIN) can be connected directly to line
voltages up to 95 Volts, with transient capability to 100 volts.
The regulator is internally current limited at 9.5mA. Upon
power up, the regulator sources current into the external
capacitor at VCC (C3). When the voltage on the VCC pin
reaches the under-voltage lockout threshold of 6.3V, the
buck switch is enabled.
In applications involving a high value for VIN, where power
dissipation in the VCC regulator is a concern, an auxiliary
voltage can be diode connected to the VCC pin. Setting the
voltage between 8V and 14V shuts off the internal regulator,
reducing internal power dissipation. See Figure 3. The current required into the VCC pin is shown in the Typical Performance Characteristics.
www.national.com
ON-Time Generator and Shutdown
The on-time for the LM5009 is determined by the RON resistor, and is inversely proportional to the input voltage (Vin),
resulting in a nearly constant frequency as Vin is varied over
its range. The on-time equation is:
(2)
TON = 1.25 x 10-10 x RON / VIN
RON should be selected for a minimum on-time (at maximum
VIN) greater than 250 ns, for proper current limit operation.
This requirement limits the maximum frequency for each
application, depending on VIN and VOUT.
The LM5009 can be remotely disabled by taking the
RON/SD pin to ground. See Figure 4. The voltage at the
RON/SD pin is between 1.7V and 5V, depending on Vin and
the value of the RON resistor.

ON-Time Generator and Shutdown
(Continued)
20165807
FIGURE 4. Shutdown Implementation
When activated, typically at 165˚C, the controller is forced
into a low power reset state, disabling the buck switch. This
feature prevents catastrophic failures from accidental device
overheating. When the junction temperature reduces below
140˚C (typical hysteresis = 25˚C), the buck switch is enabled, and normal operation is resumed.
Current Limit
The LM5009 contains an intelligent current limit OFF timer. If
the current in the Buck switch exceeds 0.31A the present
cycle is immediately terminated, and a non-resetable OFF
timer is initiated. The length of off-time is controlled by an
external resistor (RCL) and the FB voltage. When FB = 0V, a
maximum off-time is required, and the time is preset to 35µs.
This condition occurs when the output is shorted, and during
the initial part of start-up. This amount of time ensures safe
short circuit operation up to the maximum input voltage of
95V. In cases of overload where the FB voltage is above
zero volts (not a short circuit) the current limit off-time will be
less than 35µs. Reducing the off-time during less severe
overloads reduces the amount of foldback, recovery time,
and the start-up time. The off-time is calculated from the
following equation:
TOFF = 10-5 / (0.285 + (VFB / 6.35 x 10-6 x RCL)) (3)
The current limit sensing circuit is blanked for the first 5070ns of each on-time so it is not falsely tripped by the current
surge which occurs at turn-on. The current surge is required
by the re-circulating diode (D1) for its turn-off recovery.
Applications Information
SELECTION OF EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
A guide for determining the component values will be illustrated with a design example. Refer to Figure 1. The following steps will configure the LM5009 for:
• Input voltage range (Vin): 12V to 90V
• Output voltage (VOUT1): 10V
• Load current (for continuous conduction mode): 100mA
to 150mA
R1 and R2: From Figure 1, VOUT1 = VFB x (R1 + R2) / R2,
and since VFB = 2.5V, the ratio of R1 to R2 calculates as 3:1.
Standard values of 3.01 kΩ (R1) and 1.00 kΩ (R2) are
chosen. Other values could be used as long as the 3:1 ratio
is maintained. The selected values, however, provide a small
amount of output loading (2.5 mA) in the event the main load
is disconnected. This allows the circuit to maintain regulation
until the main load is reconnected.
Fs and RON: Unless the application requires a specific frequency, the choice of frequency is generally a compromise
since it affects the size of L1 and C2, and the switching
losses. The maximum allowed frequency, based on a minimum on-time of 250 ns, is calculated from:
FMAX = VOUT / (VINMAX x 250 ns)
For this exercise, Fmax = 444 kHz. From equation 1, RON
calculates to 180 kΩ. A standard value 237 kΩ resistor will
be used to allow for tolerances in equation 1, resulting in a
nominal frequency of 337 kHz.
L1: The main parameter affected by the inductor is the
output current ripple amplitude. The choice of inductor value
therefore depends on both the minimum and maximum load
currents, keeping in mind that the maximum ripple current
occurs at maximum Vin.
a) Minimum load current: To maintain continuous conduction at minimum Io (100 mA), the ripple amplitude (IOR) must
N - Channel Buck Switch and
Driver
The LM5009 integrates an N-Channel buck switch and associated floating high voltage gate driver. The gate driver
circuit works in conjunction with an external bootstrap capacitor and an internal high voltage diode. A 0.01µF ceramic
capacitor (C4) connected between the BST pin and SW pin
provides the voltage to the driver during the on-time.
During each off-time, the SW pin is at approximately -1V, and
the bootstrap capacitor charges from Vcc through the internal diode. The minimum OFF timer ensures a minimum time
each cycle to recharge the bootstrap capacitor.
An external re-circulating diode (D1) carries the inductor
current after the internal buck switch turns off. This diode
should be of the Ultra-fast or Schottky type to minimize
turn-on losses and current over-shoot.
Thermal Protection
The LM5009 should be operated so the junction temperature
does not exceed 125˚C during normal operation. An internal
Thermal Shutdown circuit is provided to protect the LM5009
in the event of a higher than normal junction temperature.

where IOR(min) is the minimum ripple current amplitude - 33
mAp-p in this example. The added capacitor’s value is calculated from:
be less than 200 mA p-p so the lower peak of the waveform
does not reach zero. L1 is calculated using the following
equation:
C = TON(max)/(R1 // R2)
where TON(max) is the maximum on-time (at minimum Vin).
The selected capacitor should be larger than the value calculated above.
RCL: When a current limit condition is detected, the minimum
off-time set by this resistor must be greater than the maximum normal off-time which occurs at maximum Vin. Using
equation 2, the minimum on-time is 0.329 µs, yielding a
maximum off-time of 2.63 µs. This is increased by 82 ns (to
2.72 µs) due to a ± 25% tolerance of the on-time. This value
is then increased to allow for:
At Vin = 90V, L1(min) calculates to 132 µH. The next larger
standard value (150 µH) is chosen and with this value IOR
calculates to 176 mA p-p at Vin = 90V, and 33 mA p-p at Vin
= 12V.
b) Maximum load current: At a load current of 150 mA, the
peak of the ripple waveform must not reach the minimum
guaranteed value of the LM5009’s current limit threshold
(250 mA). Therefore the ripple amplitude must be less than
200 mA p-p, which is already satisfied in the above calculation. With L1 = 150 µH, at maximum Vin and Io, the peak of
the ripple will be 238 mA. While L1 must carry this peak
current without saturating or exceeding its temperature rating, it also must be capable of carrying the maximum guaranteed value of the LM5009’s current limit threshold (370
mA) without saturating, since the current limit is reached
during startup.
C3: The capacitor on the VCC output provides not only noise
filtering and stability, but also prevents false triggering of the
VCC UVLO at the buck switch on/off transitions. For this
reason, C3 should be no smaller than 0.1 µF.
C2, and R3: When selecting the output filter capacitor C2,
the items to consider are ripple voltage due to its ESR, ripple
voltage due to its capacitance, and the nature of the load.
a) ESR and R3: A low ESR for C2 is generally desirable so
as to minimize power losses and heating within the capacitor. However, a hysteretic regulator requires a minimum
amount of ripple voltage at the feedback input for proper loop
operation. For the LM5009 the minimum ripple required at
pin 5 is 25 mV p-p, requiring a minimum ripple at VOUT1 of
100 mV. Since the minimum ripple current (at minimum Vin)
is 33 mA p-p, the minimum ESR required at VOUT1 is 3 Ω.
Since quality capacitors for SMPS applications have an ESR
considerably less than this, R3 is inserted as shown in
Figure 1. R3’s value, along with C2’s ESR, must result in at
least 25 mV p-p ripple at pin 5. Generally, R3 will be 0.5 Ω to
5.0 Ω.
b) Nature of the Load: The load can be connected to VOUT1
or VOUT2. VOUT1 provides good regulation, but with a ripple
voltage which ranges from 100 mV ( @ Vin = 12V) to 580 mV
(@Vin = 90V). Alternatively, VOUT2 provides low ripple (3 mV
to 13 mV) but lower regulation due to R3.
C2 should generally be no smaller than 3.3 µF. Typically, its
value is 10 µF to 20 µF, with the optimum value determined
by the load. If the load current is fairly constant, a small value
suffices for C2. If the load current includes significant transients, a larger value is necessary. For each application,
experimentation is needed to determine the optimum values
for R3 and C2.
C) Ripple Reduction: The ripple amplitude at VOUT1 can be
reduced by reducing R3, and adding a capacitor across R1
so as to tranfer the ripple at VOUT1 directly to the FB pin,
without attenuation. The new value of R3 is calculated from:
The response time of the current limit detection loop
(400ns),
The off-time determined by equation 3 has a ± 25% tolerance,
tOFFCL(MIN) = (2.72 µs x 1.25) + 0.4 µs= 3.8 µs
Using equation 3, RCL calculates to 167 kΩ (at VFB = 2.5V).
The closest standard value is 169 kΩ.
D1: The important parameters are reverse recovery time and
forward voltage. The reverse recovery time determines how
long the reverse current surge lasts each time the buck
switch is turned on. The forward voltage drop is significant in
the event the output is short-circuited as it is only this diode’s
voltage which forces the inductor current to reduce during
the forced off-time. For this reason, a higher voltage is better,
although that affects efficiency. A good choice is an ultrafast
power or Schottky diode with a reverse recovery time of )30
ns, and a forward voltage drop of )0.7V. Other types of
diodes may have a lower forward voltage drop, but may have
longer recovery times, or greater reverse leakage. D1’s reverse voltage rating must be at least as great as the maximum Vin, and its current rating be greater than the maximum
current limit threshold (370 mA).
C1: This capacitor’s purpose is to supply most of the switch
current during the on-time, and limit the voltage ripple at VIN,
on the assumption that the voltage source feeding VIN has
an output impedance greater than zero. At maximum load
current, when the buck switch turns on, the current into pin 8
will suddenly increase to the lower peak of the output current
waveform, ramp up to the peak value, then drop to zero at
turn-off. The average input current during this on-time is the
load current (150 mA). For a worst case calculation, C1 must
supply this average load current during the maximum ontime. To keep the input voltage ripple to less than 2V (for this
exercise), C1 calculates to:
Quality ceramic capacitors in this value have a low ESR
which adds only a few millivolts to the ripple. It is the capacitance which is dominant in this case. To allow for the capacitor’s tolerance, temperature effects, and voltage effects, a
1.0 µF, 100V, X7R capacitor will be used.
C4: The recommended value is 0.01µF for C4, as this is
appropriate in the majority of applications. A high quality
ceramic capacitor, with low ESR is recommended as C4
R3 = 25 mV/IOR(min)

mum performance. The components at pins 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6
should be as physically close as possible to the IC, thereby
minimizing noise pickup in the PC tracks. The current loop
formed by D1, L1, and C2 should be as small as possible.
The ground connection from C2 to C1 should be as short
and direct as possible.
(Continued)
supplies the surge current to charge the buck switch gate at
turn-on. A low ESR also ensures a quick recharge during
each off-time. At minimum VIN, when the on-time is at maximum, it is possible during start-up that C4 will not fully
recharge during each 300 ns off-time. The circuit will not be
able to complete the start-up, and achieve output regulation.
This can occur when the frequency is intended to be low
(e.g., RON = 500K). In this case C4 should be increased so
it can maintain sufficient voltage across the buck switch
driver during each on-time.
If the internal dissipation of the LM5009 produces excessive
junction temperatures during normal operation, good use of
the pc board’s ground plane can help considerably to dissipate heat. The exposed pad on the bottom of the LLP-8
package can be soldered to a ground plane on the PC board,
and that plane should extend out from beneath the IC to help
dissipate the heat. Additionally, the use of wide PC board
traces, where possible, can also help conduct heat away
from the IC. Judicious positioning of the PC board within the
end product, along with use of any available air flow (forced
or natural convection) can help reduce the junction
temperatures.
C5: This capacitor helps avoid supply voltage transients and
ringing due to long lead inductance at VIN. A low ESR, 0.1µF
ceramic chip capacitor is recommended, located close to the
LM5009.
FINAL CIRCUIT
The final circuit is shown in Figure 5. The circuit was tested,
and the resulting performance is shown in Figure 6 through
Figure 9. For these graphs, the load current was varied from
50mA to 200mA.
PC BOARD LAYOUT
The LM5009 regulation and over-voltage comparators are
very fast, and as such will respond to short duration noise
pulses. Layout considerations are therefore critical for opti-
