3 Description
The LM5140-Q1 is a dual synchronous buck
controller intended for high voltage wide VIN stepdown converter applications. The control method is
based on current mode control. Current mode control
provides inherent line feedforward, cycle-by-cycle
current limiting, and easier loop compensation.
The LM5140-Q1 features adjustable slew rate control
to simplify compliance with the CISPR and
automotive EMI requirements. The LM5140-Q1
operates at selectable switching frequencies of 2.2
MHz or 440 kHz with the two controller channels
switching 180º out of phase. In light or no-load
conditions, the LM5140-Q1 operates in skip cycle
mode for improved low power efficiency. The
LM5140-Q1 includes a high voltage bias regulator
with automatic switchover to an external bias supply
to improve efficiency and reduce input current.
Additional features include frequency synchronization,
cycle-by-cycle current limit, hiccup mode fault
protection for sustained overloads, independent
power good outputs, and independent enable inputs.

All minimum and maximum limits are specified by correlating the electrical characteristics to process and temperature variations and
applying statistical process control.
The junction temperature (TJ in °C) is calculated from the ambient temperature (TA in °C) and power dissipation (PD in Watts) as follows:
TJ = TA + (PD • RθJA) where RθJA (in °C/W) is the package thermal impedance provided in the Thermal Information section.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The LM5140-Q1 is a dual-channel switching controller which features all of the functions necessary to implement
a high efficiency buck power supply that can operate over a wide input voltage range. The LM5140-Q1 is
configured to provide two independent outputs. VOUT1 can be a fixed 3.3 V, 5 V, or adjustable between 1.5 V to
15 V. VOUT2 can be a fixed 5 V, 8 V, or adjustable between 1.5 V to 15 V. This easy to use controller integrates
high-side and low-side MOSFET drivers capable of sourcing 3.25 A and sinking 4.25-A peak . The control
method is current mode control which provides inherent line feedforward, cycle-by-cycle current limiting, and
ease-of-loop compensation. With the OSC pin connected to VDD the default oscillator frequency is 2.2 MHz.
With the OSC pin grounded the oscillator frequency is 440 kHz. A synchronization pin allows the LM5140-Q1 to
be synchronized to an external clock. Fault protection features include current limiting, thermal shutdown, and
remote shutdown capability. The LM5140-Q1 incorporates features that simplify compliance with the CISPR and
Automotive EMI requirements. The LM5140-Q1 gate drivers provide adaptive slew rate control and interleaved
operation (180 degree output of phase) of the two controller channels. The 4-pin VQFN package with Wettable
Flanks features an exposed pad to aid in thermal dissipation.

SNVSA02A – JANUARY 2016 – REVISED DECEMBER 2016

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 High Voltage Start-up Regulator
The LM5140-Q1 contains an internal high voltage VCC bias regulator that provides the bias supply for the PWM
controller and the gate drivers for the external MOSFETs. The input pin (VIN) can be connected directly to an
input voltage source up to 65 V. The output of the VCC regulator is set to 5 V. When the input voltage is below
the VCC set-point level, the VCC output tracks VIN with a small voltage drop.
In high voltage applications, take extra care to ensure the VIN pin does not exceed the absolute maximum
voltage rating of 70-V curing line or load transients. Voltage ringing on the VIN pin that exceeds the Absolute
Maximum Ratings can damage the IC. Use care during PCB board layout and high quality bypass capacitors to
minimize ringing.
7.3.2 VCC Regulator
The VCC regulator output current limit is 150 mA (minimum). At power up, the regulator sources current into the
capacitors connected to the VCC pin. When the voltage on the VCC pin exceeds 3.4 V both output channels are
enabled (if EN1 and EN2 are connected to a voltage source > 2.4 V) and the soft-start sequence begins. Both
channels remain active unless the voltage on the VCC pin falls below the VCCUVLO threshold, of 3.2 V (typical) or
the enable pins are switched to a low state. The LM5140-Q1 has two VCC pins; these pin must be connected
together on the PCB. TI recommends that the VCC capacitor be split between the two VCC pins and connected
to the respective PGND pins. The recommended range for the VCC capacitor is from 2.2 µF to 5 µF total.
An internal 5-V linear regulator generates the VDDA bias supply. Bypass VDDA with a 100-nF or greater ceramic
capacitor to ensure a low noise internal bias rail. Normally VDDA is 5 V, but there are two operating conditions
where it regulates at 3.3 V. The first is in skip cycle mode with VOUT1 set to 3.3 V, and VOUT2 is disabled. The
second is in a cold crank start-up where VIN is 3.8 V and VOUT1 is 3.3 V.
Internal power dissipation in the VCC Regulator can be minimized by connecting the VCCX pin to a 5-V output at
VOUT1 or VOUT2 or to an external 5-V supply. If VCCX > 4.5 V, VCCX is internally connected to VCC and the
internal VCC regulator is disabled. If VCCX is unused, it must be grounded. Never connect the VCCX pin to a
voltage greater than 6.5 V.
7.3.3 Oscillator
The LM5140-Q1 has independent oscillators that generate the clock for each channel and can be programmed to
2.2 MHz or 440 kHz with the OSC pin. With the OSC pin connected to VDDA, both oscillators will be set to 2.2
MHz. With OSC grounded, they will both be set to 440 kHz. The state of the OSC pin is read and latched during
VCC power up and thus cannot be changed until VCC drops below the VCCUVLO threshold. CLK1 is the clock for
channel 1; CLK2 is for channel 2. CLK1 and CLK2 are 180º out of phase. The rising edge of SYNOUT always
corresponds to the rising edge of CLK2 which is 180º out of phase with CLK1.
Under low VIN conditions when either of the high-side buck switch on time exceeds the programmed oscillator
period, the LM5140-Q1 will extend the oscillator period of that channel until the PWM latch is reset by the current
sense ramp exceeding the controller compensation voltage. In such an event, the oscillators (CLK1 and CLK2)
operate independently and asynchronously until both channels can maintain output regulation at the programmed
frequency.
The approximate input voltage level where this occurs is in Equation 1:
tp
VINmin = VOUT ´
ton(max)
where
•
•
tp = is the oscillator period, 454 ns (for 2.2 MHz operation)
ton(max) = 354 ns
(1)
For example, if VOUT1 = 3.3 V and VOUT2 = 5 V and VIN drops to 6.41 V (see Equation 2).

VIN = 5.0 V ´
= 6.41 V

Feature Description (continued)
In the above example, CLK2 frequency is required to drop to maintain regulation of VOUT2 while CLK1 can
remain at the programmed frequency (refer to Figure 19). If VIN continues to drop, both CLK1 and CLK2
frequencies are reduced Figure 20.

Under high input voltage conditions (VIN > 20 V) when the buck switch on-time of either controller reaches the
minimum on-time of 45 ns typical, the LM5140-Q1 reduces the oscillator frequency by skipping clock cycles for
the appropriate channel.
Using the same output voltages as in the example above with VIN = 36 V, CLK1 drops to 1.1 MHz and CLK2 is
2.2 MHz, (refer to Figure 21), and SYNOUT is 2.2 MHz.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.4 SYNIN and SYNOUT
The SYNIN pin can be used to synchronize the LM5140-Q1 to an external clock. The synchronization range
when the internal oscillator is set to 440 kHz is 374 kHz minimum to 506 kHz maximum. When the internal
oscillator is set to 2.2 MHz, the synchronization range is 1.87 MHz to 2.53 MHz. If the synchronization feature is
not being used, the SYNIN pin must be grounded.
CLK1 starts on the rising edge of the external synchronization clock (SYNIN). The HO1 pulse will follow
approximately 110 ns after CLK1 due to internal delays (refer to Figure 22). Similarly, CLK2 generates the HO2
pulse after a short delay, and CLK2 is 180º out of phase with CLK1. SYNOUT always corresponds to the rising
edge of CLK2.
Figure 22. SYNIN and HO1 Timing (2.2 MHz)
Under low VIN conditions when the frequency must be reduced to maintain output voltage regulation, the SYNIN
input function adapts as necessary. If VOUT1 can maintain regulation at the SYNIN frequency and VOUT2
cannot, then CLK1 remains synchronized to SYNIN and the CLK2 frequency is reduced (refer to Figure 23). If
VOUT1 cannot maintain regulation at the SYNIN frequency, then the SYNIN signal is ignored and channel 1
frequency is reduced to maintain regulation. Channel 2 runs at the frequency determined by OSC pin or lower if
required to maintain regulation on VOUT2 (refer to Figure 24).

7.3.5 Enable
The LM5140-Q1 contains two enable inputs, EN1 and EN2. The enable pins allow independent start-up and
shutdown control of VOUT1 (EN1) and VOUT2 (EN2). The enable pins can be connected to a voltage as high as
70 V. If the enable input is greater than 2.4 V, the respective controller output is enabled. If the enable pins is
pulled below 0.4 V, the respective output will be in shutdown. If both outputs are disabled the LM5140-Q1 is in a
low IQ shutdown mode, with 9-µA typical current drawn from the VIN pin. TI does not recommend leaving either
of the EN pins floating.
7.3.6 Power Good
The LM5140-Q1 includes output voltage monitoring signals for VOUT1 and VOUT2 to simplify sequencing and
supervision. The power good function can be used to enable circuits that are supplied by the corresponding
voltage rail or to turn-on sequenced supplies. Each power good output (PG1 and PG2) switches to a high
impedance open-drain state when the corresponding output voltage is in regulation. Each output switches low
when the corresponding output voltage drops below the lower power good threshold (92% typical) or rises above
the upper power good threshold (110% typical). A 25-µs deglitch filter prevents any false tripping of the power
good signals due to transients. TI recommends pullup resistors of 10 kΩ (typical) from PG1 and PG2 to the
relevant logic rail. PG1 and PG2 are asserted low during soft-start and when the corresponding buck converter is
disabled by EN1 or EN2.

7.3.7 Output Voltage
The LM5140-Q1 outputs can be independently configured for one of two fixed output voltages with no external
feedback resistors or adjusted to the desired voltage using external resistor dividers. VOUT1 can be configured
as a 3.3-V output by connecting the FB1 pin to VDDA, or a 5-V output by connecting the FB1 pin to ground with
a maximum resistance of 500 Ω. VOUT2 can be configured as either a 5-V output or 8-V output. For a 5-V output
at VOUT2, connect the FB2 pin to VDDA. For a fixed 8-V output at VOUT2 connect FB2 to ground with a
maximum resistance of 500 Ω. The FB1 and FB2 connections (either VDDA or GND) are detected during power
up. The configuration setting is latched and can not be changed until the LM5140-Q1 is powered down with VCC
falling below VCC(UVLO) (3.4 V typical) and then powered up again.
Alternative output voltages can be set external resistive dividers from output to the FB pins. The output voltage
adjustment range is between 1.5 V and 15 V. The regulation threshold at the FB pin is 1.2 V (VREF). To
calculate RFB1 and RFB2 use Equation 3, refer to Figure 26:
æ VOUT

(3)
The recommend value for R(FB1) is between 10 kΩ to 20 kΩ.
The Thevenin equivalent impedance of the resistive divider connected to the FB pins must be greater than 5 kΩ
for the LM5140-Q1 to detect the divider and set the channel to the adjustable output mode.

If a low IQ mode is required, take care when selecting the external resistors. The extra current drawn from the
external divider is added to the LM5140-Q1 I(STANDBY) current (35 µA typical). The divider current reflected to VIN
is divided down by the ratio of VOUT/VIN. For example, if VOUT is set to 5.5 V with RFB1 10 kΩ, and RFB2 = 35.8

If one output is enabled and the other disabled, VCC output will be in regulation. The HB pin voltage of the
disabled channel will charge to VCC through the boot strap diode. As a result, the HO driver bias current
(approximately 3 µA) can charge the disabled channel VOUT to approximately 2.2 V. If this is not desired, a load
resistor (100 kΩ) can be added to the output that is disabled to maintain a low voltage OFF-state.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.8 Minimum Output Voltage Adjustment
There are two limitations to the minimum output voltage adjustment range: the LM5140-Q1 voltage reference 1.2
V and the minimum switch node pulse width, tSW.
The minimum controllable voltage at the switch node (tSW) limits the voltage conversion ratio (VOUT/VIN). For
fixed-frequency PWM operation, the voltage conversion ratio must meet Equation 7:
VOUT
> t SW ´ Fsw
VIN
where
•
•
tSW is 70 ns (typical)
and Fsw is the switching frequency
(7)
If the desired voltage conversion ratio does not meet the above condition, the controller transitions from fixed
frequency operation into a pulse skipping mode to maintain regulation of the output voltage.
For example if the desired output voltage is 3.3 V with a VIN of 20 V and operating at 2.2 MHz, the voltage
conversion ratio test is in Equation 8:
3.3 V
> 70 ns ´ 2.2 MHz
20 V
0.165 > 0.154
(8)
For Wide VIN applications and lower output voltages, an alternative is to use the LM5140-Q1 with 440-kHz
oscillator frequency. Operating at 440 kHz, the limitation with the minimum ton time is less significant. For
example, if a 1.8-V output is required with a VIN of 50 V (see Equation 9):
1.8 V
> 70 ns ´ 440 kHz
50 V
0.036 > 0.0308
(9)
7.3.9 Current Sense
There are two methods to sense the inductor current of the buck converters. The first is using current sense
resistor in series with the inductor and the second is to use the DC resistance of the inductor (DCR sensing).
Figure 27 illustrates inductor current sensing using a current sense resistor. This configuration continuously
monitors the inductor current providing accurate current-limit protection. For the best current-sense accuracy and
overcurrent protection, use a low inductance ±1% tolerance current-sense resistor between the inductor and
output, with a Kelvin connection to the LM5140-Q1 sense amplifier.
The LM5140-Q1 provides two user selectable current limit levels of 48 mV and 73 mV. If the ILSET pin is
connected to VDDA, the current limit threshold is 73 mV. When the ILSET pin is connected to ground, the current
limit set point is 48 mV. The ILSET pin is monitored during power up and the setting is latched. To change the
setting, VIN power must be removed from the controller allowing the VCC voltage to drop below VCC(UVLO).
If the peak differential current signal sensed from CS to VOUT exceeds the user selectable current limit level of
48 mV or 73 mV, the current limit comparator immediately terminates the HO output for cycle-by-cycle current
limiting.

7.3.10 DCR Current Sensing
For high-power applications which do not require high accuracy current-limit protection, DCR sensing may be
preferable. This technique provides lossless and continuous monitoring of the output current using an RC sense
network in parallel with the inductor. Using an inductor with a low DCR tolerance, the user can achieve a typical
current limit accuracy within the range of 10% to 15% at room temperature.
Components RSC and CCS in Figure 28 create a low-pass filter across the inductor to enable differential sensing
of the voltage drop across inductor DCR. When RCS × CCS is equal to LOUT/LDCR, the voltage developed across
the sense capacitor, CS, is a replica of the inductor DCR voltage waveform. Choose the capacitance of CCS to
be greater than 0.1 μF to maintain a low impedance sensing network, thus reducing the susceptibility of noise
pickup from the switch node. Carefully observe the PCB layout guidelines to ensure the noise and DC errors do
not corrupt the differential current-sense signals applied across the CS and VOUT pins.

RCSCCS = LOUT/LDCR → accurate DC and AC current sensing.
If the RC time constant is not equal to the LOUT/LDCR time constant, there is an error.
RCSCCS > LOUT/LDCR → DC level still correct, the AC amplitude is attenuated.
RCSCCS < LOUT/LDCR → DC level still correct, the AC amplitude is amplified.
7.3.11 Error Amplifier and PWM Comparator
Each channel of the LM5140-Q1 has an independent high-gain transconductance amplifier which generates an
error current proportional to the difference between the feedback voltage and an internal precision reference (1.2
V). The output of each transconductance amplifier is connected to the COMP pin allowing the user to provide
external control loop compensation. Generally for current mode control a type II network is recommended.
7.3.12 Slope Compensation
The LM5140-Q1 provides internal slope compensation to ensure stable operation with duty cycle greater than
50%. To correctly use the internal slope compensation, the inductor value must be calculated based on the
following guidelines (Equation 12 assumes an inductor ripple current of 30%):
VOUT
LOUT ³
Fsw ´ (0.3 ´ IOUT )
(12)
•
•
Lower inductor values increase the peak-to-peak inductor current, which minimizes size and cost and
improves transient response at the cost of reduced efficiency due to higher peak currents.
Higher inductance values decrease the peak-to-peak inductor current, which increases efficiency by reducing
the RMS current at the cost of requiring larger output capacitors to meet load-transient specifications.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Hiccup Mode Current Limiting
The LM5140-Q1 includes an optional hiccup mode protection function that is enabled when a capacitor is
connected to the RES pin. In normal operation the RES capacitor is discharged to ground. If 512 cycles of cycleby-cycle current limiting occur on a either channel, the SS pin capacitor of that channel is pulled low and the HO
and LO outputs are disabled (refer to Figure 29). A 20-μA current source begins to charge the RES capacitor.
When the RES pin charges to 1.2 V, the RES pin is pulled low and the SS capacitor begins to charge. The 512
cycle hiccup counter is reset if 4 consecutive switching cycles occur without exceeding the current limit threshold.
Separate hiccup counters are provided for each channel, but the RES pin is shared by both channels. One
channel can be in the hiccup protection mode while the other operates normally. In the event that both channels
are in an overcurrent condition triggering hiccup protection, the last hiccup counter to expire pulls RES low and
starts the RES capacitor charging cycle. Both channels then restart together when RES=1.2 V. If RES is
connected to VDDA at power up, the hiccup function is disabled for both channels.
The controller is in forced PWM (FPWM) continuous conduciton mode when the DEMB pin is connected to
VDDA. In this mode the SS pin is clamped to a level 200 mV above the feedback voltage to the internal error
amplifier. This ensures that SS can be pulled low quickly during a brief overcurrent event and prevent overshoot
of VOUT when the overcurrent condition is removed.
If DEMB=0 V, the controller operates in diode emulation with light loads (discontinous conduction mode) and the
SS pin is allowed to charge to VDDA. This reduces the quiescent current of the LM5140-Q1. If 32 or more cycleby-cycle current limit events occur, the SS pin is clamped to 200 mV above the feedback voltage to the internal
error amplifier until the hiccup counter is reset. Thus, if a momentary overload occurs that causes at least 32
cycles of current limiting, the SS capacitor voltage is slightly higher than the FB voltage and controls VOUT
during recovery.

7.4.2 Standby Mode
The LM5140-Q1 operates with peak current mode control such that the feedback compensation voltage is
proportional to the peak inductor current. During no-load or light load conditions, the output capacitor discharges
very slowly. As a result the compensation voltage does not demand a driver output pulses on a cycle-by-cycle
basis. When the LM5140-Q1 controller detects that there have been 16 missing switching cycles, it enters
Standby Mode and switches to a low IQ state to reduce the current drawn from VIN. For the LM5140-Q1 to go
into a Standby Mode, the controller must be programmed for diode emulation (DEMB pin < 0.4 V). The typical IQ
in Standby Mode is 35 µA with VOUT1 regulating at 3.3 V and VOUT2 disabled. With VOUT1 disabled and
VOUT2 regulating to 5 V, the Standby Mode current is 42 μA. With both channels in standby mode (VOUT1 =
3.3 V and VOUT2 = 5 V) the VIN current is 75 μA. Using external feedback resistors add additional load to VOUT
and significantly increase the Standby Mode VIN current.
7.4.3 Soft Start
The soft-start feature allows the regulator to gradually reach the steady-state operating point, thus reducing startup stresses and surges. The LM5140-Q1 regulates the FB pin to the SS pin voltage or the internal 1.2-V
reference, whichever is lower. At the beginning of the soft-start sequence when SS = 0 V, the internal 20-μA softstart current source gradually increases the voltage on an external soft-start capacitor connected to the SS pin,
resulting in a gradual rise of the FB and output voltages.
The controller is in the forced PWM (FPWM) mode when the DEMB pin is connected to VDDA. In this mode, the
SS pin is clamped at 200 mV above the feedback voltage to the internal error amplifier. This ensures that SS can
be pulled low quickly during brief overcurrent events and prevent overshoot of VOUT during recovery. SS can be
pulled low with an external circuit to stop switching, but this is not recommended. Pulling SS low results in COMP
being pulled down internally as well. If the controller is operating in FPWM mode (DEMB = VDDA), LO remains
on and the low-side MOSFET discharges the VOUT capacitor resulting in large negative inductor current. When
the LM5140-Q1 pulls SS low internally due to a fault condition, the LO gate driver is disabled.
7.4.4 Diode Emulation
A fully synchronous buck regulator implemented with a free-wheel MOSFET rather than a diode has the
capability to sink current from the output in certain conditions such as light load, overvoltage, and prebias startup. The LM5140-Q1 provides a diode emulation feature that can be enabled to prevent reverse (drain to source)
current flow in the low-side free-wheel MOSFET. When configured for diode emulation, the low-side MOSFET is
disabled when reverse current flow is detected. The benefit of this configuration is lower power loss at no load or

light load conditions and the ability to turn on into a prebiased output without discharging the output. The
negative effect of diode emulation is degraded light load transient response times. Enabling the diode emulation
feature is recommended to allow discontinuous conduction operation. The diode emulation feature is configured
with the DEMB pin. To enable diode emulation, connect the DEMB pin to ground or leave the pin floating. If
continuous conduction operation is desired, the DEMB pin must be tied to VDDA.
7.4.5 High and low-side Drivers
The LM5140-Q1 contains a N-channel MOSFET gate drivers and an associated high-side level shifter to drive
the external N-channel MOSFET. The high-side gate driver works in conjunction with an external bootstrap diode
DBST, and bootstrap capacitor CBST, refer to Figure 30. During the on-time of the low-side MOSFET, the SW pin
voltage is approximately 0 V and CBST is charged from VCC through the DBST. A 0.1-μF or larger ceramic
capacitor, connected with short traces between the BST and SW pin, is recommended.
The LO and HO outputs are controlled with an adaptive dead-time methodology which ensures that both outputs
(HO and LO) are never enabled at the same time, preventing cross conduction. When the controller commands
LO to be enabled, the adaptive dead-time logic first disables HO and waits for the HO-SW voltage to drop below
2.5 V typical. LO is then enabled after a small delay (HO fall to LO rise delay). Similarly, the HO turn-on is
delayed until the LO voltage has dropped below 2.5 V. HO is then enabled after a small delay (LO fall to HO rise
delay). This technique ensures adequate dead-time for any size N-channel MOSFET device or parallel MOSFET
configurations. Caution is advised when adding series gate resistors, as this may decrease the effective deadtime. Eachof the high and low-side drivers have an independent driver source and sink output pins. This allows
the user to adjust drive strength to optimize the switching losses for maximum efficiency and control the slew rate
for reduced EMI. The selected N-channel high-side MOSFET determines the appropriate boost capacitance
values CBST in the Figure 30 according to Equation 13.
QG
CBST =
DVBST
where
•
•
QG is the total gate charge of the high-side MOSFET
and ΔVBST is the voltage variation allowed on the high-side MOSFET driver after turnon.
(13)
Choose ΔVBST such that the available gate-drive voltage is not significantly degraded when determining CBST. A
typical range of ΔVBST is 100 mV to 300 mV. The bootstrap capacitor must be a low-ESR ceramic capacitor. A
minimum value of 0.1 µF to 0.47 µF is best in most cases. Take care when choosing the high-side and low-side
MOSFET devices with logic level gate thresholds.

8.2.2.1 Inductor Calculation
For peak current mode control, sub-harmonic oscillation occurs with a duty cycle greater than 50% and is
characterized by alternating wide and narrow pulses at the SW pin. By adding a slope compensating ramp equal
to at least one-half the inductor current down-slope, any tendency toward sub-harmonic oscillation is damped
within one switching cycle. For design simplification, the LM5140-Q1 has an internal slope compensation ramp
added to the current sense signal.
For the slope compensation ramp to dampen sub-harmonic oscillation, the inductor value should be calculated
based on the following guidelines (Equation 14 assumes an inductor ripple current 30%):
LOUT ³
•
•
VOUT
Fsw ´ (0.3 ´ IOUT )
(14)
Lower inductor values increase the peak-to-peak inductor current, which minimizes size and cost and
improves transient response at the expense of reduced efficiency due to higher peak currents.
Higher inductance values decrease the peak-to-peak inductor current, which increases efficiency by reducing
the RMS current but requires larger output capacitors to meet load-transient specifications.

8.2.2.2 Current Sense Resistor
When calculating the current sense resistor, the maximum output current capability (IOUTMAX) must be at least
20% higher than the required full load current to account for tolerances, ripple current, and load transients. For
this example, 120% of the 6.41-A peak inductor current calculated in the previous section (Ipk) is 7.69 A. The
current sense resistor value can be calculated using Equation 22 and Equation 23:
VCS
Rsense =

Rsense =
73 mV
= 0.00949 W
7.69 Apk
where
•
VCS is the 73 mV current limit threshold.
(23)
The Rsense value selected is 9 mΩ
Carefully observe the PCB layout guidelines to ensure that noise and DC errors do not corrupt the differential
current sense signals between the CS and VOUT pins. Place the sense resistor close to the devices with short,
direct traces, creating Kelvin-sense connections between the current-sense resistor and the LM5140-Q1.
The propagation delays through the current limit comparator, logic, and external MOSFET gate drivers allow the
peak current to increase above the calculated current limit threshold. For a total propogation delay of tdlyTOTAL,
the worst case peak current through the inductor with the output is shorted can be calculated from Equation 24:

(25)
Once the peak current and the inductance parameters are known, the inductor can be chosen. An inductor with a
saturation current greater than Ipkshortckt (8.59 Apk) should be selected.
8.2.2.3 Output Capacitor
In a switch mode power supply, the minimum output capacitance is typically selected based on the capacitor
ripple current rating and the load transient requirements. The output capacitor must be large enough to absorb
the inductor energy and limit over voltage when transitioning from full-load to no-load, and to limit the output
voltage undershoot during no-load to full load transients. The worst-case load transient from zero to full load
occurs when the input voltage is at the maximum value and a current switching cycle has just finished. The total
output voltage drop VOUTUV is the sum of the voltage drop while the inductor is ramping up to support the full
load and the voltage drop before the next pulse can occur.

The output capacitance required to maintain the minimum output voltage drop VOUTUV can be calculated in
Equation 26 and Equation 27:

where

ISTEP = 6 A
VOUTUV = 1% of 3.3 V, or 33 mV
(27)
For this example a total of 293 µF of capacitance is used, three 82-µF aluminum capacitors for energy storage
and one 47-µF low ESR ceramic capacitor to reduce high frequency noise.
Generally, when sufficient capacitance is used to satisfy the undershoot requirement, the overshoot during a fullload to no-load transient will also be satisfactory. After the output capacitance has been selected, calculate the
output ripple current and verify that the ripple current is within the capacitor ripple current ratings.
For this design, the output ripple current is calculated in Equation 28 and Equation 29:

8.2.2.4 Input Filter
A power supply input typically has a relatively high source impedance at the switching frequency. Good-quality
input capacitors are necessary to limit the ripple voltage at the VIN pin while supplying most of the switch current
during the buck switch on-time. When the buck switch turns on, the current drawn from the input capacitor steps
from zero to the valley of the inductor current waveform, then ramps up to the peak value, and then drops to the
zero at turnoff.
Average input current can be calculated from the total input power required to support the loads at VOUT1 and
VOUT2 in Equation 30:
VOUT1´ IOUT1 + VOUT2 ´ IOUT2
Pin =
h
(30)
The efficiency η is assumed to be 83% for this design example, yielding total input power:
Pin =
3.3 V ´ 6 A + 5.0 V ´ 5 A
= 54 W

Iavg =

The ripple voltage on the input capacitors is reduced significantly with a dual-channel operation because each
channel operates 180º out of phase from the other. Capacitors connected in parallel should be evaluated for their
RMS current rating. The ripple current splits between the input capacitors based on the relative impedance of the
capacitors at the switching frequency.
The input capacitors must be selected with sufficient RMS current rating and the maximum voltage rating. The
input ripple current with one channel operating is calculated in Equation 34 and Equation 35:

8.2.2.5 EMI Filter Design
Switching regulators exhibit negative input impedance, which is lowest at the minimum input voltage. An underdamped LC filter exhibits a high output impedance at the resonant frequency of the filter. For stability, the filter
output impedance must be less than the absolute value of the converter input impedance.

EMI Filter Design Steps:
• Calculate the required attenuation
• Capacitor CIN represents the existing capacitor at the input of the switching converter
• Filter inductor Lf is usually selected between 1 μH and 10 μH (3.6 µH was used for this application), but it can
be smaller to reduce losses in a high current design
• Calculate capacitor Cf

By calculating the first harmonic current from the Fourier series of the input current waveform and multiplying it
by the input impedance (the impedance is defined by the existing input capacitor CIN), a formula can be derived
to obtain the required attenuation (see Equation 38 and Equation 39):

Vmax is the allowed dBμV noise level for the particular EMI standard, CIN is the existing input capacitors of the
buck converter. For this application 10 µF was selected. Dmax is the maximum duty cycle. Ipk is the peak
inductor current and for filter design purposes, the current at the input can be modeled as a squarewave. The

For this application, Cf was chosen to be 1 µF. Adding an input filter to a switching regulator modifies the controlto-output transfer function. The output impedance of the filter must be sufficiently small such that the input filter
does not significantly affect the loop gain of the buck converter. The impedance peaks at the filter resonant
frequency. The resonant frequency of the filter is given by Equation 42 and Equation 43:

fr =
2 ´ p L ƒ ´ Cƒ
(42)
fr =

2 ´ p 1.8 mH ´ 10 mF
= 37.53 kHz
(43)
The purpose of Rd is to reduce the peak output impedance of the filter at the resonant frequency. The capacitor
Cd blocks the DC component of the input voltage to avoids excessive power dissipation in Rd. The capacitor Cd
must have lower impedance than Rd at the resonant frequency with a capacitance value greater than the input
capacitor CIN. This prevents the CIN from interfering with the cutoff frequency of the main filter. Added damping is
needed when the output impedance is high at the resonant frequency ( Q of filter formed by CIN and Lf is too
high): An electrolytic cap Cd can be used as damping device, with the value of Equation 44:
Cd = 4 ³ CIN
(44)
Cd = 4 × 10 µF, a 47-µF capacitor was selected and Rd is chosen using Equation 45 and Equation 46:

8.2.2.6 MOSFET Selection
The LM5140-Q1 gate drivers are powered by the internal 5-V VCC bias regulator. To reduce power dissipation in
the controller and improve efficiency, the VCCX pin which must be connected to 5-V output or an external 5-V
bias supply. The MOSFETs used with the LM5140 require a logic-level gate threshold with on-resistance
specified with VGS = 4.5 V or lower.
The four MOSFETs must be chosen with a VDS rating to withstand the maximum VIN voltage plus supply voltage
transients and spikes (ringing). For automotive applications, the maximum VIN occurs during a load dump and the
voltage can surge to 42 V under some conditions. A MOSFET with a VDS rating of 60 V would meet most
application requirements. The N-channel MOSFETs must be capable of delivering the average load current plus
peak ripple current during switching.
The high-side MOSFET losses are associated with the RDS(ON) of the MOSFET and the switching losses.

The losses in the low-side MOSFET include the RDS(ON) losses, the dead time losses, and losses in the
MOSFETs internal body diode. The body diode conducts the inductor current during the dead time before the
rising edge of the switch node. Minority carriers are injected into and stored in the body diode PN junction. As the
high-side FET begins to turn on, a negative current must first flow through the diode to remove the stored charge
before the diode can be reverse biased. During this time, the high-side MOSFET drain-source voltage remains at
VIN until all the diode minority carriers are removed. Then the diode begins to block negative voltage and the
reverse current continues to flow to charge the depletion capacitance of the body diode junction. The total charge
required to reverse bias the diode is called reverse-recovery charge Qrr. The power loss in the low-side
MOSFET can be calculated from Equation 49 and Equation 50:
PdLS = (IOUT 2 ´ RDS(on) ´ (1 - Dmax )) + (IOUT ´ (t dr + t dƒ ) ´ FSW ´ VDFET ) + (DQrr ´ FSW ´ VIN)

8.2.2.7 Driver Slew Rate Control
Figure 33 shows the high current driver outputs with independent source and current sink pins for slew rate
control. Slew rate control enables the user to adjust the switch node rise and fall times which can reduce the
conducted EMI in the FM radio band (30 MHz to 108 MHz). Using the LM5140-Q1 EVM, conducted emission
were measured in accordance with CISPR 25. Figure 34 shows the measured results without slew rate control.
The conducted EMI results with slew rate control are shown in Figure 35.

8.2.2.8 Sub-Harmonic Oscillation
For peak current mode control, sub-harmonic oscillation occurs with a duty cycle greater than 50% and is
characterized by alternating wide and narrow pulses at the SW pin. By adding a compensating ramp equal to the
down-slope of the inductor current, any tendency toward sub-harmonic oscillation is damped within one switching
cycle.
In time-domain analysis, the steady-state inductor current starts and ends at the same value during one clock
cycle. If the magnitude of the end-of-cycle current error, dI1, caused by an initial perturbation, dI0, is less than the
magnitude of dI0 or dI1/dI0 > –1, the perturbation naturally disappears after a few cycles, refer to Figure 36. When
dI1/dI0 < –1, the initial perturbation does not disappear resulting in sub-harmonic oscillation in steady-state
operation. By choosing K > 1 , sub-harmonic oscillation is avoided.

The relationship between Q and K factor is illustrated graphically in Figure 37.
Figure 37. Sampling Gain Q vs K Factor
The minimum value of K is 0.5. This is the same as time domain analysis result. When K < 0.5, the regulator is
unstable. High gain peaking at 0.5 results in sub-harmonic oscillation at FSW//2. When K = 1, one-cycle damping
is realized and Q is equal to 0.673 at this point. A higher K factor may introduce additional phase shift by moving
the sampled gain inductor pole closer to the crossover frequency but helps reduce noise sensitivity in the current
loop.
8.2.2.9 Control Loop

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The LM5140EVM was designed to operate over an input voltage supply range between 3.8 V and 42 V. This
input supply must be well regulated. If the power source is placed more than a few inches from the LM5140-Q1
EVM, additional bulk capacitance and ceramic bypass capacitors may be required at the power supply input. An
electrolytic capacitor with a value of 47 µF is typically a good choice.
10 Layout
Careful PCB layout is critical to achieve low EMI and stable power supply operation. If possible, mount all the
power components on the top side of the board, making the high frequency current loops as small as possible,
and follow these guidelines of good layout practices:
1. Keep the high-current paths short. This practice is essential for stable, jitter-free operation.
2. Keep the power traces and load connections short. This practice is essential for high efficiency. Using thick
copper (2 oz) can enhance full load efficiency by 1% or more.
3. Minimize current-sensing errors by routing CS and VOUT using a kelvin sensing directly across the currentsense resistor (Rsense).
4. Route high-speed switching nodes (HB, HO, LO, and SW) away from sensitive analog areas (FB, CS, and
VOUT).
10.1 Layout Guidelines
•
•
•
•
•
38
Place the power components first, with ground terminals adjacent to the low-side FET. If possible, make all
these connections on the top layer with wide, copper-filled areas.
Mount the controller IC as close as possible to the high and low-side MOSFETs. Make the grounds and high
and low-sided drive gate drive lines as short and wide as possible. Place the series gate drive resistor as
close to the MOSFET as possible to minimize gate ringing.
Locate the gate drive components (D1 and C17) together and near the controller IC; refer to Figure 41. Be
aware that peak gate drive currents can be as high as 4 A. Average current up to 150 mA can flow from the
VCC pin to the VCC capacitor through the bootstrap diode to the bootstrap capacitor. Size the traces
accordingly.
Make the ground connections to the LM5140-Q1 controller as shown in Figure 43. Create a power grounds
directly connected to all high-power components and an analog ground plane for sensitive analog
components. The analog ground plane (AGND) and power ground plane (PGND1, and PGND2) must be
connected at a single point directly under the IC (at the die attach pad or DAP).
Figure 41 shows the schematic of the high frequency loops of one synchronous buck channel. The current
flows through Q1 and Q2, through the power ground plane and back to VIN through the ceramic capacitors
C11 and C12. This loop must be as small as possible to minimize EMI. See Figure 42 for the recommended
PCB layout.
