LM25184-Q1 42-VIN PSR Flyback DC/DC Converter with 65-V, 4.1-A MOSFET
1 Features
3 Description
•
The LM25184-Q1 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. 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 15
W with enhanced headroom for line transients.

The LM25184-Q1 simplifies the 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 internallyfixed or externally-programmable soft-start, 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 V, the converter is in shutdown mode with all functions disabled. If the EN/UVLO voltage is
greater than 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 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The LM25184-Q1 primary-side regulated (PSR) flyback converter is a high-density, cost-effective solution for
automotive and industrial systems requiring less than 15 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 LM25184-Q1 converter services
a wide range of applications including automotive on-board chargers and IGBT-based motor drives for HEV/EV
systems.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Integrated Power MOSFET
The LM25184-Q1 is a flyback dc/dc converter with integrated 65-V, 4.1-A N-channel power MOSFET. During the
MOSFET on-time, the transformer primary current increases from zero with a slope of 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 switch (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 7-1 shows a typical schematic of the LM25184-Q1 PSR flyback circuit. Components denoted in red are
optional depending on the application requirements.

Figure 7-2. Three Modes of Operation Illustrated by Variation of Switching Frequency With Load
The LM25184-Q1 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 to maintain BCM operation. Equation 1 gives the duty cycle of the flyback converter in BCM.

As the load decreases, the LM25184-Q1 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 0.82 A, or 20% of its 4.1-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 LM25184Q1 is 12 kHz, which sets a minimum load requirement of approximately 0.5% full load.
7.3.3 Setting the Output Voltage
To minimize output voltage regulation error, the LM25184-Q1 senses the reflected secondary voltage when the
secondary current reaches zero. The feedback (FB) resistor, which is connected between SW and FB is
determined using Equation 8, where RSET is nominally 12.1 kΩ.

7.3.3.1 Diode Thermal Compensation
The LM25184-Q1 employs a unique thermal compensation circuit that adjusts the feedback setpoint based on
the thermal coefficient of the forward voltage drop of the flyback diode. 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.

(9)
The temperature coefficient of the diode voltage drop may not be explicitly provided in the diode data sheet, so
the effective value can be estimated based on the measured output voltage shift over temperature when the TC
resistor is not installed.
7.3.4 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-2 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.
7.3.5 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 LM25184-Q1 is
to connect EN/UVLO directly to VIN. This allows the LM25184-Q1 to start up when VIN is within its valid operating
range. However, many applications benefit from using resistor divider RUV1 and RUV2 as shown in Figure 7-3 to
establish a precision UVLO level.

The LM25184-Q1 also provides a low-IQ shutdown mode when the EN/UVLO voltage is pulled below a baseemitter 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 LM25184-Q1. The LM25184-Q1 operates in standby mode when the EN/UVLO
voltage is between the hard shutdown and precision-enable thresholds.
7.3.6 Configurable Soft Start
The LM25184-Q1 has a flexible and easy-to-use soft-start control pin, SS/BIAS. The soft-start feature prevents
inrush current impacting the LM25184-Q1 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 LM25184-Q1 is to leave SS/BIAS open. The LM25184-Q1 employs an internal softstart 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
soft-start 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.

CSS is discharged by an internal FET when switching is disabled by EN/UVLO or thermal shutdown.

Figure 7-4. External Bias Supply Using Transformer Auxiliary Winding
The LM25184-Q1 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 4.25 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 7-4. With a bias supply connected, the LM25184-Q1 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 7-4 must be less than 1 µA across the full operating temperature range.
7.3.8 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 can corrupt the secondary zero-current detection. To prevent such a situation, a minimum switch
off-time, designated as tOFF-MIN, of a maximum of 425 ns is set internally to ensure proper functionality. This sets
a lower limit for the transformer magnetizing inductance as discussed in Section 8.2.1.2.
Furthermore, noise effects as a result of power MOSFET turnon can impact the internal current sense circuit
measurement. To mitigate this effect, the LM25184-Q1 provides a blanking time after the MOSFET turns on.
This blanking time forces a minimum on-time, tON-MIN, of 140 ns.
7.3.9 Overcurrent Protection
In case of an overcurrent condition on the isolated output or outputs, 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 4.1 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 LM25184-Q1 assumes the output cannot be recovered and recalibrates its switching frequency to 9 kHz until the overload condition is removed. The LM25184-Q1 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 Section 6.5 is 4.1 A.

7.3.10 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
LM25184-Q1 restarts when the junction temperature falls to 165°C.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Shutdown Mode
EN/UVLO facilitates ON and OFF control for the LM25184-Q1. 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 LM25184-Q1 also employs internal bias rail undervoltage
protection. If the internal bias supply voltage is below its UV threshold, the converter remains off.
7.4.2 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.
7.4.3 Active Mode
The LM25184-Q1 is in active mode when VEN/UVLO is above the precision-enable threshold and the internal bias
rail is above its UV threshold. The LM25184-Q1 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, 3-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.
Use an RC snubber circuit across each diode, for example, 100 Ω and 22 pF, to mitigate such overshoot and
ringing, particularly if the transformer leakage inductance is high.
8.2.3.2.3 Input Capacitor – CIN
The input capacitor filters the primary-winding current waveform. To prevent large ripple voltage, use a low-ESR
ceramic input capacitor sized according to Equation 25 for the RMS ripple current given by Equation 26. In this
design example, choose a 10-µF, 50-V ceramic capacitor with X7R dielectric and 1210 footprint.
8.2.3.2.4 Output Capacitors – COUT1, COUT2
The output capacitors determine the voltage ripple at the converter outputs, limit the voltage excursion during a
load transient, and set the dominant pole of the small-signal response of the converter.
Mindful of the voltage coefficient of ceramic capacitors, select two 22-µF, 25-V, X7R capacitors in 1210 case size
for the positive output and two 47-µF, 10-V, X7R capacitors in 1210 case size for the negative output.
8.2.3.2.5 Feedback Resistor – RFB
Install a 102-kΩ resistor from SW to FB based on an output voltage setpoint of 15 V (plus a flyback diode voltage
drop) reflected to the primary side by a transformer turns ratio of 1 : 1.5.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The LM25184-Q1 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 Section 6.1 and Section 6.3. 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 42.
IIN
VOUT ˜ IOUT
VIN ˜ K
(42)
where
•
η is the efficiency
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 can
have an adverse effect 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 damp the input resonant circuit and reduce any voltage
overshoots. A capacitance in the range of 22 µF to 100 µF is usually sufficient to provide input damping and
helps to hold the input voltage steady during large load transients. A typical ESR of 200 mΩ 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.

10 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 10-1 and Figure 10-2
provide layout examples for single-output and dual-output designs, respectively.
10.1 Layout Guidelines
PCB layout is 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 VIN to GND with a low-ESR ceramic capacitor, preferably of X7R or X7S dielectric. Place CIN as
close as possible to the LM25184-Q1 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. Tie the GND pin directly to the DAP under the device and to a heat-sinking PCB ground plane.
7. Use a ground plane in one of the middle layers as a noise shielding and heat dissipation path.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10.Minimize trace length to the FB pin. Locate the feedback resistor close to the FB pin.
11. Locate components RSET, RTC, and CSS as close as possible to their respective pins. Route with minimal
trace lengths.
12.Place a capacitor between input and output return connections to route common-mode noise currents directly
back to their source.
13.Provide adequate heatsinking for the LM25184-Q1 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 DAP 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.

11.6 Electrostatic Discharge Caution
This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled
with appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may
be more susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published
specifications.
