3 Description
The LM5121 is a synchronous boost controller
intended for high-efficiency, high-power boost
regulator applications. The control method is based
upon peak current mode control. Current mode
control provides inherent line feed-forward, cycle-bycycle current limiting and ease of loop compensation.
The switching frequency is programmable up to 1
MHz. Higher efficiency is achieved using two robust
N-channel MOSFET gate drivers with adaptive deadtime control. A user-selectable diode emulation mode
enables discontinuous mode operation for improved
efficiency at light load conditions.
The LM5121 provides disconnection switch control
which completely disconnects the output from the
input during an output short or a shutdown condition.
During start-up sequence, inrush current is limited by
the disconnection switch control.
An internal charge pump allows 100% duty cycle
operation of the high-side synchronous switch
(Bypass operation). Additional features include
thermal shutdown, frequency synchronization, hiccup
mode current limit and adjustable line undervoltage
lockout.

G
Analog ground connection. Return for the internal voltage reference and analog circuits.
BST
20
P/I
High-side driver supply for bootstrap gate drive. Connect to the cathode of the external bootstrap
diode and to the bootstrap capacitor. The bootstrap capacitor supplies current to charge the highside N-channel MOSFET gate and should be placed as close to controller as possible. An internal
BST charge pump will supply 200 µA current into bootstrap capacitor for bypass operation.
COMP
11
O
Output of the internal error amplifier. The loop compensation network should be connected between
this pin and the FB pin.
CSN
3
I
Inverting input of current sense amplifier. Connect to the negative-side of the current sense resistor.
CSP
4
I
Non-inverting input of current sense amplifier. Connect to the positive-side of the current sense
resistor.
DG
2
O
Disconnection switch control pin. Connect to the gate terminal of the N-channel MOSFET
disconnection switch.
DS
1
I/O
Source connection of N-channel MOSFET disconnection switch. Connect to the source terminal of
the disconnection switch, the cathode terminal of the freewheeling diode and the supply input of
boost inductor.
EP
EP
N/A
Exposed pad of the package. No internal electrical connections. Should be soldered to the large
ground plane to reduce thermal resistance.
FB
10
I
Feedback. Inverting input of the internal error amplifier. A resistor divider from the output to this pin
sets the output voltage level. The regulation threshold at the FB pin is 1.2 V.
HO
19
O
High-side N-channel MOSFET gate drive output. Connect to the gate of the high-side synchronous
N-channel MOSFET switch through a short, low inductance path.
LO
16
O
Low-side N-channel MOSFET gate drive output. Connect to the gate of the low-side N-channel
MOSFET switch through a short, low inductance path.
I
Switching mode selection pin. Internal 700 kΩ pull-up and 100 kΩ pull-down resistor hold MODE pin
to 0.15 V as a default. By adding external pull-up or pull-down resistor, MODE pin voltage can be
programmed. When MODE pin voltage is greater than 1.2 V, diode emulation mode threshold,
forced PWM mode is enabled, allowing current to flow in either direction through the high-side Nchannel MOSFET switch. When MODE pin voltage is less than 1.2 V, the controller works in diode
emulation mode. Skip cycle comparator is activated as a default condition when the MODE pin is
left floating. If the MODE pin is grounded, the controller still operates in diode emulation mode, but
the skip cycle comparator will not be triggered in normal operation, this enables pulse skipping
operation at light load.

NO.
PGND
15
G
Power ground connection pin for low-side N-channel MOSFET gate driver. Connect directly to the
source terminal of the low-side N-channel MOSFET switch.
RES
14
O
The restart timer pin for an external capacitor that configures hiccup mode off-time and restart delay
during over load conditions and hiccup mode short circuit protection. Connect directly to the AGND
when hiccup mode operation is not required.
SLOPE
12
I
Slope compensation is programmed by an external resistor between SLOPE and the AGND.
SS
7
I
Soft-start programming pin. An external capacitor and an internal 10 μA current source set the ramp
rate of the internal error amplifier reference during soft-start.
SW
18
I/O
Switching node of the boost regulator. Connect to the bootstrap capacitor, the source terminal of the
high-side N-channel MOSFET switch and the drain terminal of the low-side N-channel MOSFET
switch through short, low inductance paths.
SYNCIN/RT
8
I
The internal oscillator frequency is programmed by an external resistor between RT and the AGND.
The internal oscillator can be synchronized to an external clock by applying a positive pulse signal
into this pin. The recommended maximum internal oscillator frequency is 2 MHz which leads to 1
MHz maximum switching frequency.
UVLO
6
I
Undervoltage lockout programming pin. If the UVLO pin is below 0.4 V, the regulator is in the
shutdown mode with all functions disabled. If the UVLO pin voltage is greater than 0.4 V and below
1.2 V, the regulator is in standby mode with the VCC regulator operational and no switching at the
HO and LO outputs. If the UVLO pin voltage is above 1.2 V, the startup sequence begins. A 10 μA
current source at UVLO pin is enabled when UVLO exceeds 1.2 V and flows through the external
UVLO resistors to provide hysteresis. The UVLO pin should not be left floating.
VCC
17
P/O/I
VCC bias supply pin. Locally decouple to PGND using a low ESR/ESL capacitor located as close to
controller as possible.
VIN

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The LM5121 wide input range synchronous boost controller features all of the functions necessary to implement
a highly efficient synchronous boost regulator. The regulator control method is based upon peak current mode
control. Peak current mode control provides inherent line feed-forward and ease of loop compensation. This
highly integrated controller provides strong high-side and low-side N-channel MOSFET drivers with adaptive
dead-time control. The switching frequency is user programmable up to 1 MHz, either set by a single resistor or
synchronized to an external clock.
The control mode of high-side synchronous switch can be configured as either forced PWM (FPWM) or diode
emulation mode. Fault protection features include cycle-by-cycle current limiting, hiccup mode over load
protection, hiccup mode short circuit protection, thermal shutdown and remote shutdown capability by pulling
down the UVLO pin. The UVLO input enables the controller when the input voltage reaches a user selected
threshold, and provides tiny 9 μA shutdown quiescent current when pulled low. LM5121's unique disconnection
switch control provides numerous additional advantages. True Shutdown allows disconnecting load from the
input, blocking leakage current paths in shutdown mode. Inrush current control limits input current during initial
charging of the output capacitor. Circuit breaker function quickly switches off the disconnection switch,
terminating any severe over-current condition. Hiccup mode short circuit protection minimizes power dissipation
during prolonged output short condition. Input over voltage suppression can be achieved by connecting a Zener
diode from the disconnection MOSFET gate pin to ground. The device is available in 20-pin HTSSOP package
featuring an exposed pad to aid in thermal dissipation.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
The LM5121 features a dual level UVLO circuit. When the UVLO pin voltage is less than the 0.4-V UVLO
standby threshold, the LM5121 is in the shutdown mode with all functions disabled. The shutdown comparator
provides 0.1 V of hysteresis to avoid chatter during transitions. If the UVLO pin voltage is greater than 0.4 V and
below 1.2 V during power up, the controller is in the standby mode with the VCC regulator operational, the
disconnection switch disabled and no switching at the HO and LO outputs. This feature allows the UVLO pin to
be used as a remote shutdown function by pulling the UVLO pin down below the UVLO standby threshold with
an external open collector or open drain device.

Figure 18. UVLO Remote Standby and Shutdown Control
If the UVLO pin voltage is above 1.2-V UVLO threshold and VCC voltage exceeds the VCC UV threshold, the
startup sequence begins. UVLO hysteresis is accomplished with an internal 10-μA current source that is
switched on or off into the impedance of the UVLO setpoint divider. When the UVLO pin voltage exceeds the 1.2
V, the current source is enabled to quickly raise the voltage at the UVLO pin. When the UVLO pin voltage falls
below the 1.2-V UVLO threshold, the current source is disabled causing the voltage at the UVLO pin to quickly
fall. In addition to the UVLO hysteresis current source, a 5-μs deglitch filter on both rising and falling edge of
UVLO toggling helps preventing chatter during power up or down.
An external UVLO setpoint voltage divider from the supply voltage to AGND is used to set the minimum input
operating voltage of the regulator. The divider must be designed such that the voltage at the UVLO pin is greater
than 1.2 V when the input voltage is in the desired operating range. The maximum voltage rating of the UVLO
pin is 16 V. If necessary, the UVLO pin can be clamped with an external zener diode. The UVLO pin should not
be left floating. The values of RUV1 and RUV2 can be determined from Equation 1 and Equation 2.

7.3.2 High Voltage VCC Regulator
The LM5121 contains an internal high voltage regulator that provides typical 7.6-V VCC bias supply for the
controller and N-channel MOSFET drivers. The input of the VCC regulator, VIN can be connected to a voltage
source as high as 65 V. The VCC regulator turns on when the UVLO pin voltage is greater than 0.4 V. When the
input voltage is below the VCC setpoint level, the VCC output tracks VIN with a small dropout voltage. The
output of the VCC regulator is current limited at 50-mA minimum.

Feature Description (continued)
Upon power-up, the VCC regulator sources current into the capacitor connected to the VCC pin. The
recommended range for the VCC capacitor is 1.0 μF to 47 μF and it is recommended to be at least 10 times
greater than CBST value. When operating with a VIN voltage less than 6 V, the value of VCC capacitor should be
4.7 µF or greater.
The internal power dissipation of the LM5121 device can be reduced by supplying VCC from an external supply.
If an external VCC bias supply exists and the voltage is greater than 9 V and below 14.5 V. The external VCC
bias supply can be applied to the VCC pin directly through a diode, as shown in Figure 19.

Figure 20. External Bias Supply using Transformer
The VCC regulator series pass transistor includes a diode between VCC and VIN, as shown in Figure 21, that
should not be forward biased in normal operation. If the voltage of the external VCC bias supply is greater than
the VIN pin voltage, an external blocking diode is required from the input power supply to the VIN pin to prevent
the external bias supply from passing current to the input supply through VCC. The need for the blocking diode
should be evaluated for all applications when the VCC is supplied by the external bias supply. When the input
power supply voltage is less than 4.5 V, an external VCC supply should be used and the external blocking diode
is required.
