LM25019
SNVS952F – DECEMBER 2012 – REVISED MAY 2021
LM25019 48-V, 100-mA Constant On-Time Synchronous Buck / Fly-Buck™ Regulator
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
The LM25019 is a 48-V, 100-mA synchronous stepdown regulator with integrated high-side and lowside MOSFETs. The constant on-time (COT) control
scheme employed in the LM25019 requires no loop
compensation, provides excellent transient response,
and enables very high 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 start-up regulator provides
bias power for internal operation of the IC and for
integrated gate drivers.
A peak current limit circuit protects against overload
conditions. The undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit
allows the input undervoltage threshold and
hysteresis to be independently programmed. Other
protection features include thermal shutdown and bias
supply undervoltage lockout.
The LM25019 is available in 8-pin WSON and 8-pin
SO PowerPAD plastic packages.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The LM25019 step-down switching regulator features all the functions needed to implement a low-cost, efficient,
buck converter that can supply up to 100 mA to the load. This high-voltage regulator contains 48-V, N-channel
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 V OUT. This scheme ensures short circuit protection
while providing minimum foldback. The simplified block diagram of the LM25019 device is shown in the Figure
7-1.
The LM25019 device can be applied in numerous applications to efficiently regulate down higher voltages. This
regulator is well suited for 12-V and 24-V rails. Protection features include: thermal shutdown, undervoltage
lockout, minimum forced off-time, and an intelligent current limit.

7.3.1 Control Overview
The LM25019 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

SNVS952F – DECEMBER 2012 – REVISED MAY 2021
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 continues 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 can 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.

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

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 LM25019. In cases where the capacitor ESR is too small, additional series resistance can be
required (RC in Figure 7-2).
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 7-2. However, RC slightly degrades the load regulation.

7.3.2 VCC Regulator
The LM25019 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 48 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 UVLO threshold of 4.5 V, the IC is enabled.
The VCC regulator contains an internal diode connection to the BST pin to replenish the charge in the gate drive
boot capacitor when SW pin is low.
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 can 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 stays on for the on-time, causing the FB voltage to rise above 1.225 V. After the on-time period, the

high-side switch stays off until the FB voltage again falls below 1.225 V. During start-up, the FB voltage is 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, the output load, or
both, changes suddenly. The high-side switch does 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 LM25019 device 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 for
the LM25019 device is shown in Equation 3.

u RON
VIN
(3)
See Figure 6-5. RON must 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 LM25019 device contains an intelligent current limit off-timer. If the current in the buck switch exceeds
240 mA, the present cycle is immediately terminated, and a nonresetable 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 48 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

(4)
The current limit protection feature is peak limited. The maximum average output is less than the peak.
7.3.7 N-Channel Buck Switch and Driver
The LM25019 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.

7.3.8 Synchronous Rectifier
The LM25019 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.
7.3.9 Undervoltage Detector
The LM25019 device contains a dual-level UVLO circuit. A summary of threshold voltages and operational states
is provided in the Section 7.4. When the UVLO pin voltage is below 0.66 V, the controller 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 controller 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 wired directly to the VIN pin, the regulator begins operation once the VCC undervoltage is
satisfied.

7.3.10 Thermal Protection
The LM25019 device must be operated so the junction temperature does not exceed 150°C during normal
operation. An internal Thermal Shutdown circuit is provided to protect the LM25019 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
The LM25019 uses Constant-On-Time (COT) control scheme where 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 7-1 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.
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 the AN-1481
Controlling Output Ripple and Achieving ESR Independence in Constant On-Time (COT) Regulator Designs
Application Report for more details for each ripple generation method.

7.3.12 Soft Start
A soft-start feature can be implemented with the LM25019 device using an external circuit. As shown in Figure
7-4, 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 before the VOUT voltage. Capacitor C1 is discharged and D is thereby
forward biased. The FB voltage is pulled up above the reference voltage (1.225 V) and switching is thereby
disabled. As capacitor C1 charges, the voltage at node B gradually decreases and switching commences. VOUT
gradually rises to maintain the FB voltage at the reference voltage. Once the voltage at node B is less than a
diode drop above the 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 shown in Equation 8.
VFB = (VCC - VD) x
RFB1 x RFB2
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 must 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.
tS = C1 x (R2 +
RFB1 x RFB2
)
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. The effect of resistor R1 is ignored in Equation 9.
With component values from the applications schematic shown in Figure 8-1, selecting C1 = 1 µF, R2 = 1 kΩ,
and 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, as well as validating and testing their design
implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
The LM25019 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 650 mA. Use the following design procedure
to select component values for the LM25019 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
The application schematic of a buck supply is shown in Figure 8-1. For output voltage (VOUT) more than one
diode drop higher than the maximum regulation voltage of VCC (8.55 V, see the Section 6.5), the VCC pin can
be connected to VOUT through a diode (D2), as shown in Figure 8-1, to improve efficiency and reduce power
dissipation in the IC.
The design example shown in Figure 8-1 uses equations from the Section 7.3 with component names provided
in the Figure 3-1 schematic. Corresponding component designators from Figure 8-1 are also provided for each
selected value.

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.2.1 RFB1, RFB2
VOUT = VFB × (RFB2 / RFB1 + 1), and because VFB = 1.225 V, the ratio of RFB2 to RFB1 calculates as 7:1. Standard
values are chosen with RFB2 = R1 = 6.98 kΩ and RFB1 = R6 = 1.00 kΩ. Other values can be used as long as the
7:1 ratio is maintained.
8.2.2.2 Frequency Selection
At the minimum input voltage, the maximum switching frequency of the LM25019 is restricted by the forced
minimum off-time (TOFF(MIN)) as shown in Equation 10.
gSW(MAX) =
1 - DMAX
1 - 10/12.5
=

200 ns
TOFF(MIN)
(10)
Similarly, at maximum input voltage, the maximum switching frequency of the LM25019 is restricted by the
minimum TON as shown in Equation 11.
gSW(MAX) =
DMIN
10/48
=
= 2.1 MHz
TON(MIN) 100 ns
(11)
Resistor RON sets the nominal switching frequency based on Equation 12.

(12)
where
•
K = 9 x 10–11
Operation at high switching frequency results in lower efficiency while providing the smallest solution. Using
440 kHz as the target swtiching frequency, the calculated valued of RON is 253 kΩ. The standard value for RON =
R3 = 237 kΩ is selected.
8.2.2.3 Inductor Selection
The inductance selection is a compromise between solution size, output ripple, and efficiency. The peak inductor
current at maximum load current must be smaller than the minimum current limit of 150 mA. The maximum
permissible peak to peak inductor ripple is determined by Equation 13.
ΔIL = 2 × (ILIM(min) – IOUT(max)) = 2 × 50 = 100 mA
(13)
The minimum inductance is determined by Equation 14.
ûIL =
VIN - VOUT VOUT
x
VIN
L1 x gSW
(14)
Using the maximum VIN of 48 V, the calculation from Equation 14 results in L = 179 μH. A standard value of
220 μH is selected. For proper operation, the inductor saturation current must be higher than the peak current
encountered in the application. For robust short circuit protection, the inductor saturation current must be higher
than the maximum current limit of 300 mA.
8.2.2.4 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 shown in Equation 15.

ûIL

ΔVripple is the voltage ripple across the capacitor
ΔIL is calculated using Equation 14
Substituting ΔVripple = 5 mV gives COUT = 4.65 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 must be selected.
8.2.2.5 Type III Ripple Circuit
Type III ripple circuit as described in the Section 7.3.11 section is chosen for this example. For a constant
on-time converter to be stable, the injected in-phase ripple must be larger than the capacitive ripple on COUT.
Using type III ripple circuit equations, the target ripple must be greater than the capacitive ripple generated at the
primary output.

For TON, refer to Equation 3.
Ripple resistor Rr is calculated to be 57.6 kΩ. This value provides the minimum ripple for stable operation. A
smaller resistance should be selected to allow for variations in TON, COUT, and other components. Rr = R4 =
46.4 kΩ is selected for this example application.
8.2.2.6 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 is
1-μF. A good value for CBST = C1 is 0.01 μF.
8.2.2.7 Input Capacitor
The input capacitor should be large enough to limit the input voltage ripple and can be calculated using Equation
17.
CIN >
IOUT(MAX)
4 x gSW x ûVIN
(17)
Choosing a ΔVIN = 0.5 V gives a minimum CIN = 0.12 μF. A standard value of 1 μF is selected for CIN = C4. The
input capacitor should be rated for the maximum input voltage under all conditions. A 50-V, X7R dielectric should
be selected for this design.
The 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. This helps limit the switching noise.
8.2.2.8 UVLO Resistors
The UVLO resistors RUV1 and RUV2 set the UVLO threshold and hysteresis according to Equation 18 and
Equation 19.
VIN(HYS) = IHYS x RUV2

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 must 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 10-1).
2. CVCC and CBST: The VCC and bootstrap (BST) bypass capacitors supply switching currents to the high-side
and low-side gate drivers. These two capacitors must also be placed as close to the IC as possible, and the
connecting trace length and loop area should be minimized (see Figure 10-1).
3. The feedback trace carries the output voltage information and a small ripple component that is necessary
for proper operation of the LM25019. Therefore, take care while routing the feedback trace to avoid coupling
any noise to this pin. In particular, feedback trace must 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 is therefore a possible source
of noise. The SW node area should be minimized. In particular, the SW node must not be inadvertently
connected to a copper plane or pour.
