3 Description
The LM25180 is a primary-side regulated (PSR)
flyback converter with high efficiency over a wide
input voltage range of 4.5 V to 42 V. The isolated
output voltage is sampled from the primary-side
flyback voltage, eliminating the need for an
optocoupler, voltage reference, or third winding from
the transformer for output voltage regulation.
The high level of integration results in a simple,
reliable and high-density design with only one
component crossing the isolation barrier. Boundary
conduction mode (BCM) switching enables a compact
magnetic solution and better than ±1.5% load and
line regulation performance. An integrated 65-V
power MOSFET provides output power up to 7 W
with enhanced headroom for line transients.
The LM25180 flyback converter is available in a 8pin, 4-mm × 4-mm, thermally-enhanced WSON
package with 0.8-mm pin pitch.

5 Description (continued)
The LM25180 flyback converter simplifies implementation of isolated DC/DC supplies with optional features to
optimize performance for the target end equipment. The output voltage is set by one resistor, while an optional
resistor improves output voltage accuracy by negating the thermal coefficient of the flyback diode voltage drop.
Additional features include an internally-fixed or externally-programmable soft start, optional bias supply
connection for higher efficiency, precision enable input with hysteresis for adjustable line UVLO, hiccup-mode
overload protection, and thermal shutdown protection with automatic recovery.

DESCRIPTION
1
SW
P
Switch node that is internally connected to the drain of the N-channel power MOSFET. Connect
to the primary-side switching terminal of the flyback transformer.
2
FB
I
Primary side feedback pin. Connect a resistor from FB to SW. The ratio of the FB resistor to the
resistor at the RSET pin sets the output voltage.
3
VIN
P/I
Input supply connection. Source for internal bias regulators and input voltage sensing pin.
Connect directly to the input supply of the converter with short, low impedance paths.
4
EN/UVLO
I
Enable input and undervoltage lockout (UVLO) programming pin. If the EN/UVLO voltage is
below 1.1 V, the converter is in shutdown mode with all functions disabled. If the EN/UVLO
voltage is greater than 1.1 V and below 1.5 V, the converter is in standby mode with the internal
regulator operational and no switching. If the EN/UVLO voltage is above 1.5 V, the start-up
sequence begins.
5
SS/BIAS
I
Soft start or bias input. Connect a capacitor from SS/BIAS to GND to adjust the output start-up
time and input inrush current. If SS/BIAS is left open, the internal 6-ms soft-start timer is
activated. Connect an external supply to SS/BIAS to supply bias to the internal voltage regulator
and enable internal soft start.
6
TC
I
Temperature compensation pin. Tie a resistor from TC to RSET to compensate for the
temperature coefficient of the forward voltage drop of the secondary diode, thus improving
regulation at the secondary-side output.
7
RSET
I
Reference resistor tied to GND to set the reference current for FB. Connect a 12.1-kΩ resistor
from RSET to GND.
8
GND
G
Analog and power ground. Ground connection of internal control circuits and power MOSFET.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The LM25180 primary-side regulated (PSR) flyback converter is a high-density, cost-effective solution for
industrial systems requiring less than 7 W of isolated DC/DC power. This compact, easy-to-use flyback converter
with low IQ can be applied over a wide input voltage range from 4.5 V to 42 V, with operation down to 3.5 V after
start-up. Innovative frequency and current amplitude modulation enables high conversion efficiency across the
entire load and line range. Primary-side regulation of the isolated output voltage using sampled values of the
primary winding voltage eliminates the need for an opto-coupler or an auxiliary transformer winding for feedback.
Regulation performance that rivals that of traditional opto-coupler solutions is achieved without the associated
cost, solution size, and reliability concerns. The LM25180 converter services a wide range of applications
including IGBT-based motor drives, factory automation, and medical equipment.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Integrated Power MOSFET
The LM25180 is a flyback dc/dc converter with integrated 65-V, 1.5-A N-channel power MOSFET. During the
MOSFET on-time, the transformer primary current increases from zero with slope VIN / LMAG (where LMAG is the
transformer primary-referred magnetizing inductance) while the output capacitor supplies the load current. When
the high-side MOSFET is turned off by the control logic, the SW voltage VSW swings up to approximately VIN +
(NPS × VOUT), where NPS = NP/NS is the primary-to-secondary turns ratio of the transformer. The magnetizing
current flows in the secondary side through the flyback diode, charging the output capacitor and supplying
current to the load. Duty cycle D is defined as tON / tSW, where tON is the MOSFET conduction time and tSW is the
switching period.
Figure 19 shows a typical schematic of the LM25180 PSR flyback circuit. Components denoted in red are
optional depending on the application requirements.

Feature Description (continued)
The LM25180 operates in boundary conduction mode (BCM) at heavy loads. The power MOSFET turns on when
the current in the secondary winding reaches zero, and the MOSFET turns off when the peak primary current
reaches the level dictated by the output of the internal error amplifier. As the load is decreased, the frequency
increases in order to maintain BCM operation. The duty cycle of the flyback converter is given Equation 1, where
VD is the forward voltage drop of the flyback diode as its current approaches zero.

As the load decreases, the LM25180 clamps the maximum switching frequency to 350 kHz, and the converter
enters discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). The power delivered to the output in DCM is proportional to the
peak primary current squared as given by Equation 5 and Equation 6. Thus, as the load decreases, the peak
current reduces to maintain regulation at 350-kHz switching frequency.

At even lighter loads, the primary-side peak current set by the internal error amplifier decreases to a minimum
level of 0.3 A, or 20% of its 1.5-A peak value, and the MOSFET off-time extends to maintain the output load
requirement. The system operates in frequency foldback mode (FFM), and the switching frequency decreases as
the load current is reduced. Other than a fault condition, the lowest frequency of operation of the LM25180 is 12
kHz, which sets a minimum load requirement of approximately 0.5% full load.
8.3.3 Setting the Output Voltage
To minimize output voltage regulation error, the LM25180 senses the reflected secondary voltage when the
secondary current reaches zero. The feedback (FB) resistor, which is connected between SW and FB as shown
in Figure 19, is determined using Equation 8, where RSET is nominally 12.1 kΩ.

Feature Description (continued)
8.3.3.1 Diode Thermal Compensation
The LM25180 employs a unique thermal compensation circuit that adjusts the feedback setpoint based on the
thermal coefficient of the flyback diode's forward voltage drop. Even though the output voltage is measured when
the secondary current is effectively zero, there is still a non-zero forward voltage drop associated with the flyback
diode. Select the thermal compensation resistor using Equation 9.

NPS

TCDiode ¬ªmV qC ¼º
(9)
The temperature coefficient of the diode voltage drop may not be explicitly provided in the diode datasheet, so
the effective value can be estimated based on the measured output voltage shift over temperature when the TC
resistor is not installed.
8.3.4 Control Loop Error Amplifier
The inputs of the error amplifier include a level-shifted version of the FB voltage and an internal 1.21-V reference
set by the resistor at RSET. A type-II internal compensation network stabilizes the converter. In BCM operation
when the output voltage is in regulation, an on-time interval is initiated when the secondary current reaches zero.
The power MOSFET is subsequently turned off when an amplified version of the peak primary current exceeds
the error amplifier output.
8.3.5 Precision Enable
The precision EN/UVLO input supports adjustable input undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with hysteresis for
application specific power-up and power-down requirements. EN/UVLO connects to a comparator with a 1.5-V
reference voltage and 50-mV hysteresis. An external logic signal can be used to drive the EN/UVLO input to
toggle the output on and off for system sequencing or protection. The simplest way to enable the LM25180 is to
connect EN/UVLO directly to VIN. This allows the LM25180 to start up when VIN is within its valid operating
range. However, many applications benefit from using a resistor divider RUV1 and RUV2 as shown in Figure 21 to
establish a precision UVLO level.

The LM25180 also provides a low-IQ shutdown mode when the EN/UVLO voltage is pulled below a base-emitter
voltage drop (approximately 0.6 V at room temperature). If the EN/UVLO voltage is below this hard shutdown
threshold, the internal LDO regulator powers off, and the internal bias-supply rail collapses, shutting down the
bias currents of the LM25180. The LM25180 operates in standby mode when the EN/UVLO voltage is between
the hard shutdown and precision-enable thresholds.
8.3.6 Configurable Soft Start
The LM25180 has a flexible and easy-to-use soft-start control pin, SS/BIAS. The soft-start feature prevents
inrush current impacting the LM25180 and the input supply when power is first applied. This is achieved by
controlling the voltage at the output of the internal error amplifier. Soft start is achieved by slowly ramping up the
target regulation voltage when the device is first enabled or powered up. Selectable and adjustable start-up
timing options include a 6-ms internally-fixed soft start and an externally-programmable soft start.
The simplest way to use the LM25180 is to leave SS/BIAS open. The LM25180 employs an internal soft-start
control ramp and starts up to the regulated output voltage in 6 ms.
However, in applications with a large amount of output capacitance, higher VOUT or other special requirements,
the soft-start time can be extended by connecting an external capacitor CSS from SS/BIAS to GND. A longer softstart time further reduces the supply current needed to charge the output capacitors while sourcing the required
load current. When the EN/UVLO voltage exceeds the UVLO rising threshold and a delay of 20 µs expires, an
internal current source ISS of 5 µA charges CSS and generates a ramp to control the primary current amplitude.
Calculate the soft-start capacitance for a desired soft-start time, tSS, using Equation 12.

Feature Description (continued)
The LM25180 has an external bias supply feature that reduces input quiescent current and increases efficiency.
When the voltage at SS/BIAS exceeds a rising threshold of 5.5 V, bias power for the internal LDO regulator can
be derived from an external voltage source or from a transformer auxiliary winding as shown in Figure 22. With a
bias supply connected, the LM25180 then uses its internal soft-start ramp to control the primary current during
start-up.
When using a transformer auxiliary winding for bias power, the total leakage current related to diodes DBIAS1 and
DBIAS2 in Figure 22 should be less than 1 µA across the full operating temperature range.
8.3.8 Minimum On-Time and Off-Time
When the internal power MOSFET is turned off, the leakage inductance of the transformer resonates with the
SW node parasitic capacitance. The resultant ringing behavior can be excessive with large transformer leakage
inductance and may corrupt the secondary zero-current detection. In order to prevent such a situation, a
minimum switch off-time, designated as tOFF-MIN, of maximum 450 ns is set internally to ensure proper
functionality. This sets a lower limit for the transformer magnetizing inductance as discussed in the Detailed
Design Procedure.
Furthermore, noise effects as a result of power MOSFET turn-on can impact the internal current sense circuit
measurement. To mitigate this effect, the LM25180 provides a blanking time after the MOSFET turns on. This
blanking time forces a minimum on-time, tON-MIN, of 140 ns.
8.3.9 Overcurrent Protection
In case of an overcurrent condition on the isolated output(s), the output voltage drops lower than the regulation
level since the maximum power delivered is limited by the peak current capability on the primary side. The peak
primary current is maintained at 1.5 A (plus an amount related to the 100-ns propagation delay of the current limit
comparator) until the output decreases to the secondary diode voltage drop to impact the reflected signal on the
primary side. At this point, the LM25180 assumes the output cannot be recovered and re-calibrates its switching
frequency to 9 kHz until the overload condition is removed. The LM25180 responds with similar behavior to an
output short circuit condition.
For a given input voltage, Equation 13 gives the maximum output current prior to the engagement of overcurrent
protection. The typical threshold value for ISW-PEAK from the Specifications is 1.5 A.

A failsafe current limit set at 2.4 A, or 1.6 times the nominal peak current limit, provides redundant fault protection
in case of transformer short circuit or saturation effects. This initiates a 7.5-ms hiccup interval after eight
overcurrent events.
8.3.10 Thermal Shutdown
Thermal shutdown is an integrated self-protection to limit junction temperature and prevent damage related to
overheating. Thermal shutdown turns off the device when the junction temperature exceeds 175°C to prevent
further power dissipation and temperature rise. Junction temperature decreases after shutdown, and the restarts
when the junction temperature falls to 169°C.

8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1 Shutdown Mode
EN/UVLO facilitates ON and OFF control for the LM25180. When VEN/UVLO is below approximately 0.6 V, the
device is in shutdown mode. Both the internal LDO and the switching regulator are off. The quiescent current in
shutdown mode drops to 3 μA at VIN = 24 V. The LM25180 also employs internal bias rail undervoltage
protection. If the internal bias supply voltage is below its UV threshold, the converter remains off.
8.4.2 Standby Mode
The internal bias rail LDO regulator has a lower enable threshold than the converter itself. When VEN/UVLO is
above 0.6 V and below the precision-enable threshold (1.5 V typically), the internal LDO is on and regulating.
The precision enable circuitry is turned on once the internal VCC is above its UV threshold. The switching action
and voltage regulation are not enabled until VEN/UVLO rises above the precision enable threshold.
8.4.3 Active Mode
The LM25180 is in active mode when VEN/UVLO is above the precision-enable threshold and the internal bias rail
is above its UV threshold. The LM25180 operates in one of three modes depending on the load current
requirement:
1. Boundary conduction mode (BCM) at heavy loads.
2. Discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) at medium loads.
3. Frequency foldback mode (FFM) at light loads.

Choose 100-V, 1-A and 60-V, 1-A Schottky diodes for the positive and negative outputs, respectively, to allow
some margin for inevitable voltage overshoot and ringing related to leakage inductance and diode capacitance. If
needed, use a diode RC snubber circuit, for example 100 Ω and 22 pF, to mitigate such overshoot and ringing.
9.2.2.2.3 Input Capacitor – CIN
The input capacitor, CIN, filters the primary-side triangular current waveform. To prevent large ripple voltage, use
a low-ESR ceramic input capacitor sized according to Equation 24 for the RMS ripple current given by
Equation 25. In this design example, choose a 10-µF, 50-V ceramic input capacitor with X7R dielectric and 1210
footprint.

9.2.3.2 Detailed Design Procedure
Components are selected based on the converter specifications using the LM25180 quick-start calculator. The
design procedure is similar to that outlined for Designs 1 and 2 previously.
9.2.3.2.1 Flyback Transformer – T1
The 24-V output is DC stacked on top of the 5-V output as they share a common return connection. This enables
lower secondary-to-secondary leakage inductance for better cross regulation and also reduced rectifier diode
reverse voltage stress. Choose a primary-secondary turns ratio for the effective 19-V secondary based on an
approximate 60% max duty cycle at minimum input voltage using Equation 41.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
The LM25180 PSR flyback converter operates over a wide input voltage range from 4.5 V to 42 V. The
characteristics of the input supply must be compatible with the Specifications. In addition, the input supply must
be capable of delivering the required input current to the fully-loaded regulator. Estimate the average input
current with Equation 49.
VOUT ˜ IOUT
VIN ˜ K
IIN
where
•
η is the efficiency
(49)
If the converter is connected to an input supply through long wires or PCB traces with a large impedance, special
care is required to achieve stable performance. The parasitic inductance and resistance of the input cables may
have an adverse affect on converter operation. The parasitic inductance in combination with the low-ESR
ceramic input capacitors form an underdamped resonant circuit. This circuit can cause overvoltage transients at
VIN each time the input supply is cycled ON and OFF. The parasitic resistance causes the input voltage to dip
during a load transient. If the regulator is operating close to the minimum input voltage, this dip can cause false
UVLO fault triggering and a system reset. The best way to solve such issues is to reduce the distance from the
input supply to the regulator and use an aluminum electrolytic input capacitor in parallel with the ceramics. The
moderate ESR of the electrolytic capacitors helps to damp the input resonant circuit and reduce any voltage
overshoots. A capacitance in the range of 10 µF to 47 µF is usually sufficient to provide input damping and helps
to hold the input voltage steady during large load transients. A typical ESR of 0.25 Ω provides enough damping
for most input circuit configurations.
An EMI input filter is often used in front of the regulator that, unless carefully designed, can lead to instability as
well as some of the effects mentioned above. The application report Simple Success with Conducted EMI for
DC-DC Converters provides helpful suggestions when designing an input filter for any switching regulator.

11 Layout
The performance of any switching converter depends as much upon PCB layout as it does the component
selection. The following guidelines are provided to assist with designing a PCB with the best power conversion
performance, thermal performance, and minimized generation of unwanted EMI. Figure 54 and Figure 55 provide
layout examples for single-output and dual-output designs, respectively.
11.1 Layout Guidelines
PCB layout is a critical for good power supply design. There are several paths that conduct high slew-rate
currents or voltages that can interact with transformer leakage inductance or parasitic capacitance to generate
noise and EMI or degrade the performance of the power supply.
1. Bypass the VIN pin to GND with a low-ESR ceramic capacitor, preferably of X7R or X7S dielectric. Place CIN
as close as possible to the LM25180 VIN and GND pins. Ground return paths for the input capacitor or
capacitors must consist of localized top-side planes that connect to the GND pin and exposed PAD.
2. Minimize the loop area formed by the input capacitor connections and the VIN and GND pins.
3. Locate the transformer close to the SW pin. Minimize the area of the SW trace or plane to prevent excessive
e-field or capacitive coupling.
4. Minimize the loop area formed by the diode-Zener clamp circuit connections and the primary winding
terminals of the transformer.
5. Minimize the loop area formed by the flyback rectifying diode, output capacitor and the secondary winding
terminals of the transformer.
6. Connect adequate copper at the cathode of the flyback diode to prevent overheating during overload or high
ambient temperature conditions.
7. Tie the GND pin directly to the power pad under the device and to a heat-sinking PCB ground plane.
8. Use a ground plane in one of the middle layers as a noise shielding and heat dissipation path.
9. Have a single-point ground connection to the plane. Route the return connections for the reference resistor,
soft-start, and enable components directly to the GND pin. This prevents any switched or load currents from
flowing in analog ground traces. If not properly handled, poor grounding results in degraded load regulation
or erratic output voltage ripple behavior.
10. Make VIN+, VOUT+ and ground bus connections short and wide. This reduces any voltage drops on the input
or output paths of the converter and maximizes efficiency.
11. Minimize trace length to the FB pin. Locate the feedback resistor close to the FB pin.
12. Locate components RSET, RTC and CSS as close as possible to their respective pins. Route with minimal
trace lengths.
13. Place a capacitor between input and output return connections to route common-mode noise currents
directly back to their source.
14. Provide adequate heatsinking for the LM25180 to keep the junction temperature below 150°C. For
operation at full rated load, the top-side ground plane is an important heat-dissipating area. Use an array of
heat-sinking vias to connect the exposed PAD to the PCB ground plane. If the PCB has multiple copper
layers, connect these thermal vias to inner-layer ground planes. The connection to VOUT+ provides
heatsinking for the flyback diode.
