3 Description
The LM5118-Q1 wide voltage range Buck-Boost
switching regulator controller features all of the
functions necessary to implement a highperformance,
cost-efficient Buck-Boost regulator
using a minimum of external components. The Buck-
Boost topology maintains output voltage regulation
when the input voltage is either less than or greater
than the output voltage, making it especially suitable
for automotive applications. The LM5118-Q1
operates as a buck regulator while the input voltage
is sufficiently greater than the regulated output
voltage and gradually transitions to the buck-boost
mode as the input voltage approaches the output.
This dual-mode approach maintains regulation over a
wide range of input voltages with optimal conversion
efficiency in the buck mode and a glitch-free output
during mode transitions. This easy-to-use controller
includes drivers for the high-side buck MOSFET and
the low-side boost MOSFET. The regulators control
method is based upon current mode control using an
emulated current ramp. Emulated current mode
control reduces noise sensitivity of the pulse-width
modulation circuit, allowing reliable control of the very
small duty cycles necessary in high input voltage
applications. Additional protection features include
current limit, thermal shutdown and an enable input.
The device is available in a power-enhanced, 20-pin
HTSSOP package featuring an exposed die attach
pad to aid thermal dissipation.
