LM5018 100-V, 300-mA Constant On-Time Synchronous Buck Regulator
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
The LM5018 is a 100-V, 300-mA synchronous stepdown regulator with integrated high-side and low-side
MOSFETs. The constant-on-time (COT) control
scheme employed in the LM5018 device requires no
loop compensation, provides excellent transient
response, and enables very low step-down ratios.
The on-time varies inversely with the input voltage
resulting in nearly constant frequency over the input
voltage range. A high-voltage startup regulator
provides bias power for internal operation of the IC
and for integrated gate drivers.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The LM5018 step-down switching regulator features all the functions needed to implement a low-cost, efficient,
buck converter capable of supplying up to 300 mA to the load. This high-voltage regulator contains 100 V, Nchannel buck and synchronous switches, is easy to implement, and is provided in thermally enhanced SO
PowerPAD-8 and WSON-8 packages. The regulator operation is based on a constant on-time control scheme
using an on-time inversely proportional to VIN. This control scheme does not require loop compensation. The
current limit is implemented with a forced off-time inversely proportional to VOUT. This scheme ensures short
circuit protection while providing minimum foldback. The simplified block diagram of the LM5018 is shown in the
Functional Block Diagram section.
The LM5018 device can be applied in numerous applications to efficiently regulate down higher voltages. This
regulator is well-suited for 48 V telecom and automotive power bus ranges. Protection features include: thermal
shutdown, undervoltage lockout, minimum forced off-time, and an intelligent current limit.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Control Overview
The LM5018 buck regulator employs a control principle based on a comparator and a one-shot on-timer, with the
output voltage feedback (FB) compared to an internal reference (1.225 V). If the FB voltage is below the
reference the internal buck switch is turned on for the one-shot timer period, which is a function of the input
voltage and the programming resistor (RON). Following the on-time the switch remains off until the FB voltage
falls below the reference, but never before the minimum off-time forced by the minimum off-time one-shot timer.
When the FB pin voltage falls below the reference and the minimum off-time one-shot period expires, the buck
switch is turned on for another on-time one-shot period. This will continue until regulation is achieved and the FB
voltage is approximately equal to 1.225 V (typ).
In a synchronous buck converter, the low side (sync) FET is 'on' when the high side (buck) FET is 'off.' The
inductor current ramps up when the high side switch is ‘on’ and ramps down when the high side switch is ‘off’.
There is no diode emulation feature in this IC, and therefore, the inductor current may ramp in the negative
direction at light load. This causes the converter to operate in continuous conduction mode (CCM) regardless of
the output loading. The operating frequency remains relatively constant with load and line variations. The
operating frequency can be calculated as shown in Equation 1.
gSW =
VOUT
K x RON
(1)
Where:
K = 9 × 10–11
The output voltage (VOUT) is set by two external resistors (RFB1, RFB2). The regulated output voltage is calculated
as shown in Equation 2.
VOUT = 1.225V x
RFB2 + RFB1
RFB1
(2)
This regulator regulates the output voltage based on ripple voltage at the feedback input, requiring a minimum
amount of ESR for the output capacitor (COUT). A minimum of 25 mV of ripple voltage at the feedback pin (FB) is
required for the LM5018. In cases where the capacitor ESR is too small, additional series resistance may be
required (RC in Figure 10).
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 10. However, RC slightly degrades the load regulation.

7.3.2 VCC Regulator
The LM5018 device contains an internal high-voltage linear regulator with a nominal output of 7.6 V. The input
pin (VIN) can be connected directly to the line voltages up to 100 V. The VCC regulator is internally current limited
to 30 mA. The regulator sources current into the external capacitor at VCC. This regulator supplies current to
internal circuit blocks including the synchronous MOSFET driver and the logic circuits. When the voltage on the
VCC pin reaches the undervoltage lockout (VCC UVLO) threshold of 4.5 V, the IC is enabled.
An internal diode connected from VCC to the BST pin replenishes the charge in the gate drive bootstrap capacitor
when SW pin is low.

SNVS787G – JANUARY 2012 – REVISED OCTOBER 2015
Feature Description (continued)
At high-input voltages, the power dissipated in the high voltage regulator is significant and can limit the overall
achievable output power. As an example, with the input at 48 V and switching at high frequency, the VCC
regulator may supply up to 7 mA of current resulting in 48 V × 7 mA = 336 mW of power dissipation. If the VCC
voltage is driven externally by an alternate voltage source between 8.55 V and 13 V, the internal regulator is
disabled. This reduces the power dissipation in the IC.
7.3.3 Regulation Comparator
The feedback voltage at FB is compared to an internal 1.225 V reference. In normal operation, when the output
voltage is in regulation, an on-time period is initiated when the voltage at FB falls below 1.225 V. The high side
switch will stay on for the on-time, causing the FB voltage to rise above 1.225 V. After the on-time period, the
high side switch will stay off until the FB voltage again falls below 1.225 V. During start-up, the FB voltage will be
below 1.225 V at the end of each on-time, causing the high side switch to turn on immediately after the minimum
forced off-time of 144 ns. The high side switch can be turned off before the on-time is over if the peak current in
the inductor reaches the current limit threshold.
7.3.4 Overvoltage Comparator
The feedback voltage at FB is compared to an internal 1.62 V reference. If the voltage at FB rises above 1.62 V
the on-time pulse is immediately terminated. This condition can occur if the input voltage and/or the output load
changes suddenly. The high-side switch will not turn on again until the voltage at FB falls below 1.225 V.
7.3.5 On-Time Generator
The on-time for the LM5018 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 for the LM5018 can be
calculated using Equation 3.
TON =
10-10 x RON
VIN
(3)
See Figure 5. RON should be selected for a minimum on-time (at maximum VIN) greater than 100 ns, for proper
operation. This requirement limits the maximum switching frequency for high VIN.
7.3.6 Current Limit
The LM5018 device contains an intelligent current limit off-timer. If the current in the buck switch exceeds 575
mA, the present cycle is immediately terminated, and a non-resetable off-timer is initiated. The length of off-time
is controlled by the FB voltage and the input voltage VIN. As an example, when FB = 0 V and VIN = 48 V, the
maximum off-time is set to 16 μs. 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 100 V.
In cases of overload where the FB voltage is above zero volts (not a short circuit) the current limit off-time is
reduced. Reducing the off-time during less severe overloads reduces the amount of foldback, recovery time, and
start-up time. The off-time is calculated from Equation 4.
TOFF(ILIM) =
0.07 x VIN
Ps
VFB + 0.2V
(4)
The current limit protection feature is peak limited. The maximum average output will be less than the peak.
7.3.7 N-Channel Buck Switch and Driver
The LM5018 device 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
0.01-uF ceramic capacitor connected between the BST pin and the SW pin provides the voltage to the driver
during the on-time. During each off-time, the SW pin is at approximately 0 V, and the bootstrap capacitor charges
from VCC through the internal diode. The minimum off-timer, set to 144 ns, ensures a minimum time each cycle to
recharge the bootstrap capacitor.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.8 Synchronous Rectifier
The LM5018 device provides an internal synchronous N-Channel MOSFET rectifier. This MOSFET provides a
path for the inductor current to flow when the high-side MOSFET is turned off.
The synchronous rectifier has no diode emulation mode, and is designed to keep the regulator in continuous
conduction mode even during light loads which would otherwise result in discontinuous operation.

The LM5018 device contains a dual level undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit. A summary of threshold voltages
and operational states is provided in Device Functional Modes. When the UVLO pin voltage is below 0.66 V, the
regulator is in a low current shutdown mode. When the UVLO pin voltage is greater than 0.66 V but less than
1.225 V, the regulator is in standby mode. In standby mode the VCC bias regulator is active while the regulator
output is disabled. When the VCC pin exceeds the VCC undervoltage threshold and the UVLO pin voltage is
greater than 1.225 V, normal operation begins. An external set-point voltage divider from VIN to GND can be
used to set the minimum operating voltage of the regulator.
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 threshold is exceeded, the current source is activated to
quickly raise the voltage at the UVLO pin. The hysteresis is equal to the value of this current times the resistance
RUV2.
If the UVLO pin is connected directly to the VIN pin, the regulator will begin operation once the VCC undervoltage
is satisfied.

7.3.10 Thermal Protection
The LM5018 device should be operated so the junction temperature does not exceed 150°C during normal
operation. An internal Thermal Shutdown circuit is provided to protect the LM5018 in the event of a higher than
normal junction temperature. When activated, typically at 165°C, the controller is forced into a low power reset
state, disabling the buck switch and the VCC regulator. This feature prevents catastrophic failures from accidental
device overheating. When the junction temperature reduces below 145°C (typical hysteresis = 20°C), the VCC
regulator is enabled, and normal operation is resumed.
7.3.11 Ripple Configuration
LM5018 uses Constant-On-Time (COT) control scheme, in which the on-time is terminated by an on-timer, and
the off-time is terminated by the feedback voltage (VFB) falling below the reference voltage (VREF). Therefore, for
stable operation, the feedback voltage must decrease monotonically, in phase with the inductor current during
the off-time. Furthermore, this change in feedback voltage (VFB) during off-time must be large enough to
suppress any noise component present at the feedback node.
Table 1 shows three different methods for generating appropriate voltage ripple at the feedback node. Type 1
and Type 2 ripple circuits couple the ripple at the output of the converter to the feedback node (FB). The output
voltage ripple has two components:
1. Capacitive ripple caused by the inductor current ripple charging/discharging the output capacitor.
2. Resistive ripple caused by the inductor current ripple flowing through the ESR of the output capacitor.

Feature Description (continued)
The capacitive ripple is not in phase with the inductor current. As a result, the capacitive ripple does not
decrease monotonically during the off-time. The resistive ripple is in phase with the inductor current and
decreases monotonically during the off-time. The resistive ripple must exceed the capacitive ripple at the output
node (VOUT) for stable operation. If this condition is not satisfied unstable switching behavior is observed in COT
converters, with multiple on-time bursts in close succession followed by a long off-time.
Type 3 ripple method uses Rr and Cr and the switch node (SW) voltage to generate a triangular ramp. This
triangular ramp is ac coupled using Cac to the feedback node (FB). Because this circuit does not use the output
voltage ripple, it is ideally suited for applications where low output voltage ripple is required. See AN-1481
Controlling Output Ripple and Achieving ESR Independence in Constant On-Time (COT) Regulator Designs
(SNVA166) for more details for each ripple generation method.

7.3.12 Soft-Start
A soft-start feature can be implemented with the LM5018 using an external circuit. As shown in Figure 12, the
soft-start circuit consists of one capacitor, C1, two resistors, R1 and R2, and a diode, D. During the initial start-up,
the VCC voltage is established prior to the VOUT voltage. Capacitor C1 is discharged and D is thereby forward
biased to pull up the FB voltage. The FB voltage exceeds the reference voltage (1.225 V) and switching is
therefore disabled. As capacitor C1 charges, the voltage at node B gradually decreases and switching
commences. VOUT will gradually rise to maintain the FB voltage at the reference voltage. Once the voltage at
node B is less than a diode drop above FB voltage, the soft-start sequence is finished and D is reverse biased.
During the initial part of the start-up, the FB voltage can be approximated as follows. Please note that the effect
of R1 has been ignored to simplify the calculation shown in Equation 8.
RFB1 x RFB2
VFB = (VCC - VD) x
R2 x (RFB1 + RFB2) + RFB1 x RFB2
(8)
C1 is charged after the first start up. Diode D1 is optional and can be added to discharge C1 and initialize the
soft-start sequence when the input voltage experiences a momentary drop.

To achieve the desired soft-start, the following design guidance is recommended:
(1) R2 is selected so that VFB is higher than 1.225 V for a VCC of 4.5 V, but is lower than 5 V when VCC is 8.55 V.
If an external VCC is used, VFB should not exceed 5 V at maximum VCC.
(2) C1 is selected to achieve the desired start-up time that can be determined from Equation 9.
RFB1 x RFB2
)
tS = C1 x (R2 +
RFB1 + RFB2
(9)
(3) R1 is used to maintain the node B voltage at zero after the soft-start is finished. A value larger than the
feedback resistor divider is preferred. Note that the effect of R1 is ignored in the previous equations.
Based on the schematic shown in Figure 13, selecting C1 = 1 uF, R2 = 1 kΩ, R1 = 30 kΩ results in a soft-start
time of about 2 ms.

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
The LM5018 device is step-down dc-dc converter. The device is typically used to convert a higher dc voltage to a
lower dc voltage with a maximum available output current of 300 mA. Use the following design procedure to
select component values for the LM5018 device. Alternately, use the WEBENCH® software to generate a
complete design. The WEBENCH software uses an iterative design procedure and accesses a comprehensive
database of components when generating a design. This section presents a simplified discussion of the design
process.
8.2 Typical Application
8.2.1 Application Circuit: 12.5- to 95-V Input and 10-V, 300-mA Output Buck Converter
The application schematic of a buck supply is shown in Figure 13. For output voltage (VOUT) above the maximum
regulation threshold of VCC (8.55 V, see Electrical Characteristics), the VCC pin can be connected to VOUT through
a diode (D2), for higher efficiency and lower power dissipation in the IC.
The design example below uses equations from the Feature Description with component names provided in the

8.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.1.2.1 RFB1, RFB2
VOUT = VFB × (RFB2 / RFB1 + 1), and since VFB = 1.225 V, the ratio of RFB2 to RFB1 is calculated to be 7:1.
Standard values are chosen with RFB2 = R1 = 6.98 kΩ and RFB1 = R6 = 1.00 kΩ. Other values could be used as
long as the 7:1 ratio is maintained.
8.2.1.2.2 Frequency Selection
At the minimum input voltage, the maximum switching frequency of LM5018 is restricted by the forced minimum
off-time (TOFF(MIN)) as given by Equation 10.
gSW(MAX) =
1 - DMAX
1 - 10/12.5
=

200 ns

Similarly, at maximum input voltage, the maximum switching frequency of LM5018 is restricted by the minimum
TON as given by Equation 11.
gSW(MAX) =

10/48
=
= 2.1 MHz
TON(MIN) 100 ns
(11)
Resistor RON sets the nominal switching frequency based on Equation 12.
¦SW
VOUT
K u RON
(12)
Where:
K = 9 × 10–11
Operation at high switching frequency results in lower efficiency while providing the smallest solution. For this
example, 440 kHz was selected, resulting in RON = 253 kΩ. A standard value for RON = R3 = 237 kΩ is selected.
8.2.1.2.3 Inductor Selection
The minimum inductance is selected to limit the inductor ripple current to 20 to 40 percent of the maximum load
current. In addition, the peak inductor current at maximum load must be smaller than the minimum current limit
threshold provided in Electrical Characteristics. The inductor current ripple is given by Equation 13.
ûIL =
VIN - VOUT VOUT
x
VIN
L1 x gSW
(13)
The maximum ripple is observed at maximum input voltage. Substituting VIN = 95 V and ΔIL = 40 percent ×
IOUT(max) results in L1 = 169 μH. The higher standard value of 220 μH is chosen. With this value of inductance,
peak-to-peak minimum and maximum inductor current ripple of 27 mA and 92 mA occur at the minimum and
maximum input voltages, respectively. The peak inductor and switch current is given by Equation 14.
I LI (peak)
I OUT 'I L (max)
2
346 mA
(14)
The peak inductor current of 346 mA is smaller than the minimum current limit threshold of 390 mA. The selected
inductor should be able to operate at the maximum current limit of 750 mA during startup and overload
conditions without saturating.
8.2.1.2.4 Output Capacitor
The output capacitor is selected to minimize the capacitive ripple across it. The maximum ripple is observed at
maximum input voltage and is given by Equation 15.
COUT =
ûIL
8 x gsw x ûVripple
(15)
Where:
ΔVripple is the voltage ripple across the capacitor and ΔIL is the peak-to-peak inductor ripple current.
Assuming VIN = 95 V and substituting ΔVripple = 10 mV gives COUT = 2.6 μF. A 4.7-μF standard value is selected
for COUT = C9. An X5R or X7R type capacitor with a voltage rating 16 V or higher should be selected.

8.2.1.2.5 Type II Ripple Circuit
Type II ripple circuit, as described in Ripple Configuration, is chosen for this example. For a constant on time
converter to be stable, the injected in-phase ripple should be larger than the capacitive ripple on COUT.
Using type II ripple circuit equations with minimum FB pin ripple of 25 mV, the values of the series resistor RC
and ac coupling capacitor Cac can calculated.

gsw(RFB2||RFB1)

(16)
Assuming RFB2 = 6.98 kΩ and RFB1 = 1 kΩ, the calculated minimum value of Cac is 0.013 µF. A standard value of
0.1 µF is selected for Cac = C8. The value of the series output resistor RC is calculated for the minimum input
voltage condition when the inductor ripple current as at a minimum. Using Equation 13 and assuming VIN = 12.5
V, the minimum inductor ripple current is 27 mA. The calculated minimum value of RC is 0.93 Ω. A standard
value of 1.5 Ω is selected for RC = R2 to provide additional ripple for stable switching at low VIN.
8.2.1.2.6 VCC and Bootstrap Capacitor
The VCC capacitor provides charge to bootstrap capacitor as well as internal circuitry and low side gate driver.
The bootstrap capacitor provides charge to high-side gate driver. The recommended value for CVCC = C7 = 1 μF.
A good value for CBST = C1 = 0.01 μF.
8.2.1.2.7 Input Capacitor
Input capacitor should be large enough to limit the input voltage ripple which can be calculated using
Equation 17.
IOUT(MAX)
CIN >
4 x gSW x ûVIN
(17)
Choosing a ΔVIN = 0.5 V gives a minimum CIN = 0.34 μF. A standard value of 1 μF is selected CIN = C4. The
input capacitor should be rated for the maximum input voltage under all conditions. A 100 V X7R dielectric
should be selected for this design.
Input capacitor should be placed directly across VIN and RTN (pin 2 and 1) of the IC. If it is not possible to place
all of the input capacitor close to the IC, a 0.1-μF capacitor should be placed near the IC to provide a bypass
path for the high frequency component of the switching current.
8.2.1.2.8 UVLO Resistors
The UVLO resistors RUV1 and RUV2 set the UVLO threshold and hysteresis according to the relationship shown in
Equation 18 and Equation 19.
VIN(HYS) = IHYS x RUV2
(18)
VIN (UVLO,rising) = 1.225 V x

Where:

Setting UVLO hysteresis of 2.5 V and UVLO rising threshold of 12 V results in RUV1 = 14.53 kΩ and
RUV2 = 125 kΩ. Selecting standard values of RUV1 = R7 = 14 kΩ and RUV2 = R5 = 127 kΩ results in UVLO
threshold and hysteresis of 12.4 V and 2.5 V respectively.

8.2.2.2.1 Transformer Turns Ratio
The transformer turns ratio is selected based on the ratio of the primary output voltage to the secondary
(isolated) output voltage. In this design example, the two outputs are nearly equal and a 1:1 turns ratio
transformer is selected. Therefore, N2 / N1 = 1.
If the secondary (isolated) output voltage is significantly higher or lower than the primary output voltage, a turns
ratio less than or greater than 1 is recommended. The primary output voltage is normally selected based on the
input voltage range such that the duty cycle of the converter does not exceed 50% at the minimum input voltage.
This condition is satisfied if VOUT1 < VIN_MIN / 2.

8.2.2.2.5 Transformer Selection

Figure 18 shows the primary winding current waveform (IL1) of a Fly-Buck converter. The reflected secondary
winding current adds to the primary winding current during the buck switch off-time. Because of this increased
current, the output voltage ripple is not the same as in conventional buck converter. The output capacitor value
calculated in Equation 27 should be used as the starting point. Optimization of output capacitance over the entire
line and load range must be done experimentally. If the majority of the load current is drawn from the secondary
isolated output, a better approximation of the primary output voltage ripple is given by Equation 28.

For a 1:1 transformer turns ratio, the primary and secondary voltage ripple equations are identical. Therefore,

outputs.
If lower output voltage ripple is required, a higher value should be selected for COUT1 and/or COUT2.
8.2.2.2.8 Type III Feedback Ripple Circuit
Type III ripple circuit as described in Ripple Configuration is required for the Fly-Buck topology. Type I and Type
II ripple circuits use series resistance and the triangular inductor ripple current to generate ripple at VOUT and the
FB pin. The primary ripple current of a Fly-Buck is the combination or primary and reflected secondary currents
as illustrated in Figure 18. In the Fly-Buck topology, Type I and Type II ripple circuits suffer from large jitter as the
reflected load current affects the feedback ripple.

larger bulk capacitor. The total input capacitance should be large enough to limit the input voltage ripple to a
desired amplitude. For input ripple voltage ΔVIN, CIN can be calculated using Equation 32.
CIN t
IOUT(MAX)
4 u ¦ u '9IN
(32)
Choosing a ΔVIN of 0.5 V gives a minimum CIN of 0.167 μF. A standard value of 0.1 μF is selected for CBYP in
this design. A bulk capacitor of higher value reduces voltage spikes due to parasitic inductance between the
power source to the converter. A standard value of 1 μF is selected for CIN in this design. The voltage ratings of
the two input capacitors should be greater than the maximum input voltage under all conditions.

8.2.2.2.12 UVLO Resistors
UVLO resistors RUV1 and RUV2 set the undervoltage lockout threshold and hysteresis according to Equation 33
and Equation 34.
VIN (HYS) = IHYS x RUV2

VIN (UVLO, rising) = 1.225V x
R
( RUV2
+ 1)
(34)
UV1
Where IHYS = 20 μA, typical.
For a UVLO hysteresis of 2.5 V and UVLO rising threshold of 20 V, Equation 33 and Equation 34 require RUV1 of
8.25 kΩ and RUV2 of 127 kΩ and these values are selected for this design example.
8.2.2.2.13 VCC Diode
Diode D2 is an optional diode connected between VOUT1 and the VCC regulator output pin. When VOUT1 is more
than one diode drop greater than the VCC voltage, the VCC bias current is supplied from VOUT1. This results in
reduced power losses in the internal VCC regulator which improves converter efficiency. VOUT1 must be set to a
voltage at least one diode drop higher than 8.55 V (the maximum VCC voltage) if D2 is used to supply bias
current.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
LM5018 is a power management device. The power supply for the device is any DC voltage source within the
specified input range.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
A proper layout is essential for optimum performance of the circuit. In particular, the following guidelines should
be observed:
1. CIN: The loop consisting of input capacitor (CIN), VIN pin, and RTN pin carries switching currents. Therefore,
the input capacitor should be placed close to the IC, directly across VIN and RTN pins and the connections to
these two pins should be direct to minimize the loop area. In general it is not possible to accommodate all of
input capacitance near the IC. A good practice is to use a 0.1-μF or 0.47-μF capacitor directly across the VIN
and RTN pins close to the IC, and the remaining bulk capacitor as close as possible (see Figure 24).
2. CVCC and CBST: The VCC and bootstrap (BST) bypass capacitors supply switching currents to the high and
low side gate drivers. These two capacitors should also be placed as close to the IC as possible, and the
connecting trace length and loop area should be minimized (see Figure 24).
3. The Feedback trace carries the output voltage information and a small ripple component that is necessary for
proper operation of LM5018. Therefore, care should be taken while routing the feedback trace to avoid
coupling any noise to this pin. In particular, feedback trace should not run close to magnetic components, or
parallel to any other switching trace.
4. SW trace: The SW node switches rapidly between VIN and GND every cycle and is therefore a possible
source of noise. The SW node area should be minimized. In particular, the SW node should not be
inadvertently connected to a copper plane or pour.
