3 Description
The LM5143-Q1 is a 65-V synchronous buck DC/DC
controller for high-current single or dual outputs.
The device uses an interleaved, stackable, peak
current-mode control architecture for easy loop
compensation, fast transient response, excellent load
and line regulation, and accurate current sharing with
paralleled phases for higher output current. A highside switch minimum on-time of 65 ns gives large
step-down ratios, enabling the direct conversion from
12-V, 24-V, or 48-V automotive inputs to low-voltage
rails for reduced system complexity and solution cost.
The LM5143-Q1 continues to operate during input
voltage dips as low as 3.5 V, at nearly 100% duty
cycle if needed.
Current is sensed using the inductor DCR for highest
efficiency or an optional shunt resistor for high
accuracy. The 15-μA no-load quiescent current with
the output voltage in regulation extends operating
run-time in battery-powered systems. Power the
LM5143-Q1 from the output of the switching regulator
or another available source for even lower input
quiescent current and power loss.

SNVSB29C – OCTOBER 2018 – REVISED JUNE 2021
5 Description (continued)
Several features are included to simplify compliance with CISPR 25 and automotive EMI requirements.
Adaptively timed, high-current MOSFET gate drivers with adjustable slew rate control minimize body diode
conduction during switching transitions, reducing switching losses and improving thermal and EMI performance
at high input voltage and high switching frequency. To reduce input capacitor ripple current and EMI filter size,
180° interleaved operation is provided for two outputs. A 90° out-of-phase clock output works well for cascaded,
multi-channel, or multi-phase power stages. Resistor-adjustable switching frequency as high as 2.2 MHz can
be synchronized to an external clock source up to 2.5 MHz to eliminate beat frequencies in noise-sensitive
applications. Optional triangular spread spectrum modulation further improves the EMI signature.
Additional features of the LM5143-Q1 include 150°C maximum junction temperature operation, user-selectable
diode emulation for lower current consumption at light-load conditions, configurable soft-start functions, opendrain Power-Good flags for fault reporting and output monitoring, independent enable inputs, monotonic start-up
into prebiased loads, integrated VCC bias supply regulator, programmable hiccup-mode overload protection, and
thermal shutdown protection with automatic recovery.
The LM5143-Q1 controller comes in a 6-mm × 6-mm thermally-enhanced, 40-pin VQFNP package with wettable
flank pins to facilitate optical inspection during manufacturing.

Table 6-1. Pin Functions
PIN
NO.
NAME
I/O (1)
DESCRIPTION
1
SS2
I
Channel 2 soft-start programming pin. An external ceramic capacitor and an internal 20-μA current source
set the ramp rate of the internal error amplifier reference during soft start. Pulling SS2 below 150 mV turns
off the channel 2 gate driver outputs, but all the other functions remain active.
2
COMP2
O

31
NAME
EN1
I/O (1)
DESCRIPTION
I
An active high input (VEN1 > 2 V) enables Output 1. If Outputs 1 and 2 are disabled, the LM5143-Q1 is in
shutdown mode unless a SYNC signal is present at DEMB. EN1 must never be floating.
32
RES
O
Restart timer pin. An external capacitor configures the hiccup-mode current limiting. A capacitor at the RES
pin determines the time the controller remains off before automatically restarting in hiccup mode. The two
regulator channels operate independently. One channel can operate in normal mode while the other is
in hiccup-mode overload protection. The hiccup mode commences when either channel experiences 512
consecutive PWM cycles with cycle-by-cycle current limiting. Connect RES to VDDA during power-up to
disable hiccup-mode protection.
33
DEMB
I
Diode Emulation pin. Connect DEMB to AGND to enable diode emulation mode. Connect DEMB to VDDA
to operate the LM5143-Q1 in forced PWM (FPWM) mode with continuous conduction at light loads. DEMB
can also be used as a synchronization input to synchronize the internal oscillator to an external clock.
34
MODE
I
Connect MODE to AGND or VDDA for dual-output or interleaved single-output operation, respectively. This
also configures the LM5143-Q1 with an EA transconductance of 1200 µS. Connecting a 10-kΩ resistor
between MODE and AGND sets the LM5143-Q1 for dual-output operation with an ultra-low IQ mode and an
EA transconductance of 60 µS.
35
AGND
G
Analog ground connection. Ground return for the internal voltage reference and analog circuits.
36
VDDA
O
Internal analog bias regulator output. Connect a ceramic decoupling capacitor from VDDA to AGND.
37
RT
I
Frequency programming pin. A resistor from RT to AGND sets the oscillator frequency between 100 kHz
and 2.2 MHz.
38
DITH
I
A capacitor connected between the DITH pin and AGND is charged and discharged with a 20-µA current
source. If dithering is enabled, the voltage on the DITH pin ramps up and down modulating the oscillator
frequency between –5% and +5% of the internal oscillator. Connecting DITH to VDDA during power-up
disables the dither feature. DITH is ignored if an external synchronization clock is used.
39
SYNCOUT
O
SYNCOUT is a logic level signal with a rising edge approximately 90° lagging HO2 (or 90° leading HO1).
When the SYNCOUT signal is used to synchronize a second LM5143-Q1 controller, all phases are 90° out
of phase.
40
EN2
I
An active high input (VEN2 > 2 V) enables Output 2. If Outputs 1 and 2 are disabled, the LM5143-Q1 is in
shutdown mode unless a SYNC signal is present on DEMB. EN2 must never be floating.

6.1 Wettable Flanks
100% automated visual inspection (AVI) post-assembly is typically required to meet requirements for high
reliability and robustness. Standard quad-flat no-lead (QFN) packages do not have solderable or exposed pins
and terminals that are easily viewed. It is therefore difficult to visually determine whether or not the package is
successfully soldered onto the printed-circuit board (PCB). The wettable-flank process was developed to resolve
the issue of side-lead wetting of leadless packaging. The LM5143-Q1 is assembled using a 40-pin VQFNP
package with wettable flanks to provide a visual indicator of solderability, which reduces the inspection time and
manufacturing costs.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The LM5143-Q1 is a dual-phase or dual-channel switching controller that features all of the functions necessary
to implement a high-efficiency synchronous buck power supply operating over a wide input voltage range from
3.5 V to 65 V. The LM5143-Q1 is configured to provide a fixed 3.3-V or 5-V output, or an adjustable output
between 0.6 V to 55 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 current. Adaptive dead-time control is designed to minimize body diode
conduction during switching transitions.
Current-mode control using a shunt resistor or inductor DCR current sensing provides inherent line feedforward,
cycle-by-cycle peak current limiting, and easy loop compensation. It also supports a wide duty cycle range for
high input voltage and low dropout applications as well as when a high voltage conversion ratio (for example,
10-to-1) is required. The oscillator frequency is user-programmable between 100 kHz to 2.2 MHz, and the
frequency can be synchronized as high as 2.5 MHz by applying an external clock to DEMB.
An external bias supply can be connected to VCCX to maximize efficiency in high input voltage applications.
A user-selectable diode emulation feature enables discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) operation to further
improve efficiency and reduce power dissipation during light-load conditions. Fault protection features include
the following:
•
•
•
•
Current limiting
Thermal shutdown
UVLO
Remote shutdown capability
The LM5143-Q1 incorporates features to simplify the compliance with CISPR 25 automotive EMI requirements.
An optional spread spectrum frequency modulation (SSFM) technique reduces the peak EMI signature, while
the adaptive gate drivers with slew rate control minimize high-frequency emissions. Finally, 180° out-of-phase
interleaved operation of the two controller channels reduces input filtering and capacitor requirements.
The LM5143-Q1 is provided in a 40-pin VQFNP package with wettable flanks and an exposed pad to aid in
thermal dissipation.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Input Voltage Range (VIN)
The LM5143-Q1 operational input voltage range is from 3.5 V to 65 V. The device is intended for step-down
conversions from 12-V, 24-V, and 48-V automotive supply rails. The application circuit in Figure 8-1 shows all
the necessary components to implement an LM5143-Q1 based wide-VIN dual-output step-down regulator using
a single supply. The LM5143-Q1 uses an internal LDO subregulator to provide a 5-V VCC bias rail for the gate
drive and control circuits (assuming the input voltage is higher than 5 V plus the necessary subregulator dropout
specification).

Figure 8-1. Dual-Output Regulator Schematic Diagram With Input Voltage Range of 3.5 V to 65 V
In high input voltage applications, make sure the VIN and SW pins do not exceed their absolute maximum
voltage rating of 70 V during line or load transient events. Voltage excursions that exceed the Absolute Maximum
Ratings can damage the IC. Proceed carefully during PCB board layout and use high-quality input bypass
capacitors to minimize voltage overshoot and ringing.
8.3.2 High-Voltage Bias Supply Regulator (VCC, VCCX, VDDA)
The LM5143-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 voltage pin (VIN) can be connected directly
to an input voltage source up to 65 V. However, when the input voltage is below the VCC setpoint level, the VCC
voltage tracks VIN minus a small voltage drop.
The VCC regulator output current limit is 170 mA (minimum). At power up, the regulator sources current into the
capacitors connected at the VCC pin. When the VCC voltage exceeds 3.3 V, both output channels are enabled
(if EN1 and EN2 are connected to a voltage greater than 2 V) and the soft-start sequence begins. Both channels
remain active unless the VCC voltage falls below the VCC falling UVLO threshold of 3.1 V (typical) or EN1/2
is switched to a low state. The LM5143-Q1 has two VCC pins that must be connected together on the PCB.
TI recommends that two VCC capacitors are connected from VCC to PGND1 and from VCC to PGND2. The
recommended range for each VCC capacitor is from 2.2 µF to 10 µF.

SNVSB29C – OCTOBER 2018 – REVISED JUNE 2021
An internal 5-V linear regulator generates the VDDA bias supply. Bypass VDDA with a 470-nF ceramic capacitor
to achieve 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 when VOUT1 is 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 of the VCC regulator can be minimized by connecting VCCX to a 5-V output at VOUT1
or VOUT2 or to an external 5-V supply. If the VCCX voltage is above 4.3 V, VCCX is internally connected to VCC
and the internal VCC regulator is disabled. Tie VCCX to AGND if it is unused. Never connect VCCX to a voltage
greater than 6.5 V or less than –0.3 V. If an external supply is connected to VCCX to power the LM5143-Q1, VIN
must be greater than the external bias voltage during all conditions to avoid damage to the controller.
8.3.3 Enable (EN1, EN2)
The LM5143-Q1 contains two enable inputs. EN1 and EN2 facilitate independent start-up and shutdown control
of VOUT1 and VOUT2. The enable pins can be connected to a voltage as high as 70 V. If an enable input is greater
than 2 V, its respective output is enabled. If an enable pin is pulled below 0.4 V, the output is shutdown. If both
outputs are disabled, the LM5143-Q1 is in a low-IQ shutdown mode with a 4-µA typical current drawn from VIN.
TI does not recommend leaving EN1 or EN2 floating.
8.3.4 Power Good Monitor (PG1, PG2)
The LM5143-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 false tripping of the power-good
signals during transients. TI recommends pullup resistors of 100 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 regulator is disabled
by EN1 or EN2.
8.3.5 Switching Frequency (RT)
The LM5143-Q1 oscillator is programmed by a resistor between RT and AGND to set an oscillator frequency
between 100 kHz to 2.2 MHz. CLK1 is the clock for channel 1 and CLK2 is for channel 2. CLK1 and CLK2 are
180° out of phase. Use Equation 1 to calculate the RT resistance for a given switching frequency.

Under low VIN conditions when either of the on-time of the high-side MOSFETs exceeds the programmed
oscillator period, the LM5143-Q1 extends the switching 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 given by Equation 2.

SNVSB29C – OCTOBER 2018 – REVISED JUNE 2021
8.3.6 Clock Synchronization (DEMB)
To synchronize the LM5143-Q1 to an external source, apply a logic-level clock signal (greater than 2 V) to
DEMB. The LM5143-Q1 can be synchronized to ±20% of the programmed frequency up to a maximum of
2.5 MHz. If there is an RT resistor and a synchronization signal, the LM5143-Q1 ignores the RT resistor
and synchronizes to the external clock. Under low VIN conditions when the minimum off-time is reached,
the synchronization signal is ignored, allowing the switching frequency to reduce to maintain output voltage
regulation.
8.3.7 Synchronization Out (SYNCOUT)
The SYNCOUT voltage is a logic level signal with a rising edge approximately 90° lagging HO2 (or 90° leading
HO1). When the SYNCOUT signal is used to synchronize a second LM5143-Q1 controller, all four phases are
90° out of phase.
8.3.8 Spread Spectrum Frequency Modulation (DITH)
The LM5143-Q1 provides a frequency dithering option that is enabled by connecting a capacitor from DITH to
AGND. This generates a triangular voltage centered at 1.2 V at DITH. See Figure 8-2. The triangular waveform
modulates the oscillator frequency by ±5% of the nominal frequency set by the RT resistance. Use Equation 3
to calculate the required DITH capacitance to set the modulating frequency, FMOD. For the dithering circuit to
effectively attenuate the peak EMI, the modulation rate must be less than 20 kHz for proper operation of the
clock circuit.

If DITH is connected to VDDA during power up, the dither feature is disabled and cannot be enabled unless VCC
is recycled below the VCC UVLO threshold. If DITH is connected to AGND on power up, CDITH is prevented from
charging, disabling dither. Also, dither is disabled when the LM5143-Q1 is synchronized to an external clock.
8.3.9 Configurable Soft Start (SS1, SS2)
The soft-start feature allows the regulator to gradually reach the steady-state operating point, thus reducing
start-up stresses and surges.
The LM5143-Q1 features an adjustable soft start that determines the charging time of the output or outputs. Soft
start limits inrush current as a result of high output capacitance to avoid an overcurrent condition. Stress on the
input supply rail is also reduced.
The LM5143-Q1 regulates the FB voltage to the SS voltage or the internal 600-mV reference, whichever is
lower. At the beginning of the soft-start sequence when the SS voltage is 0 V, the internal 21-μA soft-start current
source gradually increases the voltage on an external soft-start capacitor connected to the SS pin, resulting in a
gradual rise of the relevant FB and output voltages. Use Equation 4 to calculate the soft-start capacitance.

tSS is the required soft-start time
SS can be pulled low with an external circuit to stop switching, but this is not recommended. When the controller
is in FPWM mode (set by connecting DEMB to VDDA), pulling SS low results in COMP being pulled down
internally as well. LO remains on and the low-side MOSFET discharges the output capacitor, resulting in large
negative inductor current. In contrast, the LO gate driver is disabled when the LM5143-Q1 internal logic pulls SS
low due to a fault condition.
8.3.10 Output Voltage Setpoint (FB1, FB2)
The LM5143-Q1 outputs can be independently configured for one of the two fixed output voltages with no
external feedback resistors, or adjusted to the desired voltage using an external resistor divider. VOUT1 or VOUT2
can be configured as a 3.3-V output by connecting the corresponding FB pin to VDDA, or a 5-V output by
connecting FB to AGND. The FB1 and FB2 connections (either VDDA or GND) are detected during power up.
The configuration settings are latched and cannot be changed until the LM5143-Q1 is powered down with the
VCC voltage decreasing below its falling UVLO threshold, and then powered up again.
Alternatively, the output voltage can be set using external resistive dividers from the output to the relevant
FB pin. The output voltage adjustment range is between 0.6 V and 55 V. The regulation threshold at FB is
0.6 V (VREF). Use Equation 5 to calculate the upper and lower feedback resistors, designated RFB1 and RFB2,
respectively. See Figure 8-3.

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 LM5143-Q1 ISTANDBY current (15 µA typical). The divider current reflected to
VIN is divided down by the ratio of VOUT/VIN. For example, if VOUT is set to 5.55 V with RFB1 equal to 82.5 kΩ
and RFB2 equal to 10 kΩ, use Equation 7 to calculate the input current from a 12-V input required to supply the
current in the feedback resistors.

If one output is enabled and the other disabled, the VCC output is in regulation. The HB voltage of the disabled
channel charges to VCC through the bootstrap diode. As a result, the HO driver bias current (approximately 1.5
µA) can increase the output voltage of the disabled channel to approximately 2.2 V. If this is not desired, add a
load resistor (100 kΩ) to the output that is disabled to maintain a low-voltage OFF-state.
8.3.11 Minimum Controllable On-Time
There are two limitations to the minimum output voltage adjustment range: the LM5143-Q1 voltage reference of
0.6 V and the minimum controllable switch-node pulse width, tON(min).
tON(min) effectively limits the voltage step-down conversion ratio of VOUT/VIN at a given switching frequency. For
fixed-frequency PWM operation, the voltage conversion ratio must satisfy Equation 8.

where

If the desired voltage conversion ratio does not meet the above condition, the LM5143-Q1 transitions from fixed
switching frequency operation to a pulse-skipping mode to maintain output voltage regulation. For example, if
the desired output voltage is 5 V with an input voltage is 24 V and switching frequency of 2.1 MHz, the voltage
conversion ratio test in Equation 9 is satisfied.

For wide VIN applications and low output voltages, an alternative is to reduce the LM5143-Q1 switching
frequency to meet the requirement of Equation 8.
8.3.12 Error Amplifier and PWM Comparator (FB1, FB2, COMP1, COMP2)
Each channel of the LM5143-Q1 has an independent high-gain transconductance amplifier that generates an
error current proportional to the difference between the feedback voltage and an internal precision reference
(0.6 V). The output of the transconductance amplifier is connected to the COMP pin, allowing the user to
provide external control loop compensation. A type-II compensation network is generally recommended for peak
current-mode control.
The amplifier has two gain settings, one is for normal operation with a gm of 1200 µS and the other is for
ultra-low IQ with a gm of 60 µS. For normal operation, connect MODE to AGND. For ultra-low operation, IQ
connect MODE to AGND through a 10-kΩ resistor.
8.3.13 Slope Compensation
The LM5143-Q1 provides internal slope compensation for stable operation with peak current-mode control and a
duty cycle greater than 50%. Use Equation 10 to calculate the buck inductance to provide a slope compensation
contribution equal to one times the inductor downslope.

A lower inductance value generally increases the peak-to-peak inductor current, which minimizes size and
cost, and improves transient response at the cost of reduced light-load efficiency due to higher cores losses
and peak currents.
A higher inductance value generally decreases the peak-to-peak inductor current, which increases the fullload efficiency by reducing switch peak and RMS currents at the cost of requiring larger output capacitors to
meet load-transient specifications.
8.3.14 Inductor Current Sense (CS1, VOUT1, CS2, VOUT2)
There are two methods to sense the inductor current of the buck power stage. The first uses a current sense
resistor (also known as a shunt) in series with the inductor, and the second avails of the DC resistance of the
inductor (DCR current sensing).
8.3.14.1 Shunt Current Sensing
Figure 8-4 illustrates inductor current sensing using a shunt resistor. This configuration continuously monitors the
inductor current to provide accurate overcurrent protection across the operating temperature range. For optimal
current sense accuracy and overcurrent protection, use a low inductance ±1% tolerance shunt resistor between
the inductor and the output, with a Kelvin connection to the LM5143-Q1 current sense amplifier.
If the peak differential current signal sensed from CS to VOUT exceeds the current limit threshold of 73 mV, the
current limit comparator immediately terminates the applicable HO output for cycle-by-cycle current limiting. Use
Equation 11 to calculate the shunt resistance.

The respective SS voltage is clamped 150 mV above FB during an overcurrent condition for each channel.
Sixteen overcurrent events must occur before the SS clamp is enabled. This makes sure that SS can be pulled
low during brief overcurrent events, preventing output voltage overshoot during recovery.
8.3.14.2 Inductor DCR Current Sensing
For high-power applications that do not require accurate current-limit protection, inductor DCR current sensing
is preferable. This technique provides lossless and continuous monitoring of the inductor current using an RC
sense network in parallel with the inductor. Select an inductor with a low DCR tolerance to achieve a typical
current limit accuracy within the range of 10% to 15% at room temperature. Components RCS and CCS in Figure
8-5 create a low-pass filter across the inductor to enable differential sensing of the voltage drop across the
inductor DCR.

Use Equation 12 to calculate the voltage drop across the sense capacitor in the s-domain. When the RCSCCS
time constant is equal to LO/RDCR, the voltage developed across the sense capacitor, CCS, is a replica of the
inductor DCR voltage and accurate current sensing is achieved. If the RCSCCS time constant is not equal to the
LO/RDCR time constant, there is a sensing error as follows:
•
•
RCSCCS > LO/RDCR → the DC level is correct, but the AC amplitude is attenuated.
RCSCCS < LO/RDCR → the DC level is correct, but the AC amplitude is amplified.

Choose the CCS capacitance greater than or equal to 0.1 μF to maintain a low-impedance sensing network, thus
reducing the susceptibility of noise pickup from the switch node. Carefully observe Section 11.1 to make sure
that noise and DC errors do not corrupt the differential current sense signals applied between the CS and VOUT
pins.
8.3.15 Hiccup Mode Current Limiting (RES)
The LM5143-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
cycle-by-cycle current limiting occurs, SS is pulled low and the HO and LO outputs are disabled (see Figure 8-6).
A 20-μA current source begins to charge the RES capacitor. When the RES voltage increases to 1.2 V, RES
is pulled low and the SS capacitor begins to charge. The 512-cycle hiccup counter is reset if four 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 hiccup protection while
the other operates normally. In the event that both channels are in an overcurrent condition triggering hiccup

8.3.16 High-Side and Low-Side Gate Drivers (HO1/2, LO1/2, HOL1/2, LOL1/2)
The LM5143-Q1 contains 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. See Figure 8-7. During the conduction interval of the low-side MOSFET, the
SW voltage is approximately 0 V and CBST is charged from VCC through DBST. TI recommends a 0.1-μF ceramic
capacitor connected with short traces between the applicable HB and SW pins.
The LO and HO outputs are controlled with an adaptive dead-time methodology so 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 rising delay). Similarly, the HO turnon is delayed
until the LO voltage has dropped below 2.5 V. HO is then enabled after a small delay (LO falling to HO rising
delay). This technique ensures adequate dead time for any size N-channel MOSFET component or parallel
MOSFET configurations.
Caution is advised when adding series gate resistors, as this can decrease the effective dead time. Each of
the high-side and low-side drivers has 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 signature. The selected N-channel high-side MOSFET determines the appropriate bootstrap
capacitance values CBST in Figure 8-7 according to Equation 14.

8.3.17.3 Single-Output Multiphase Operation
To configure the LM5143-Q1 for multiphase operation (three or four phases), two LM5143-Q1 controllers are
required. See Figure 8-10. Configure the first controller (CNTRL1) as a master and the second controller
(CNTRL2) as a slave. To configure the second controller as a slave, connect the MODE and FB2 pins to VDDA.
This disables both feedback error amplifiers of the slave controller, placing them in a high-impedance state.
Connect COMP1 and COMP2 of the master and slave together. Connect SS1 and SS2 of the master and slave
together. Connect SYNCOUT of the master to DEMB (SYNCIN) of the slave. The SYNCOUT of the master
controller is 90° out-of-phase and facilitates interleaved operation. RT is not used for the oscillator when the
LM5143-Q1 is in slave mode but instead used for slope compensation. Therefore, select the RT resistance to be
the same as that of the master. The oscillator is derived from the master controller. FPWM or DEM mode for the
slave is set by connecting its FB1 to VDDA or GND. FPWM or DEM mode of the master controller is set by its
DEMB pin. See Table 8-3.
The LM5143-Q1 in single-output multiphase operation does not support phase shedding when the output
voltage is set between 0.6 V to 1.5 V.

8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1 Standby Modes
The LM5143-Q1 operates with peak current-mode control such that the 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 driver output pulses on a cycle-by-cycle basis. When the
LM5143-Q1 controller detects 16 missed switching cycles, it enters standby mode and switches to a low IQ state
to reduce the current drawn from the input. For the LM5143-Q1 to go into standby mode, the controller must be
programmed for diode emulation (VDEMB < 0.4 V).
There are two standby modes: ultra-low IQ and normal mode. To enter ultra-low IQ mode, connect MODE to
AGND through a 10-kΩ resistor. In ultra-low IQ mode, the transconductance amplifier gain is reduced from 1200
µS to 60 µS. The typical ultra-low IQ is 15 μA with channel 1 set to 3.3 V and the channel 2 disabled. If ultra-low
IQ is not required, connect MODE to AGND. In normal mode, the IQ is 25 μA with channel 1 set to 3.3 V and the
second channel disabled.
8.4.2 Diode Emulation Mode
A fully synchronous buck regulator implemented with a low-side synchronous MOSFET rather than a diode
has the capability to sink negative current from the output during light-load, overvoltage, and pre-bias start-up
conditions. The LM5143-Q1 provides a diode emulation feature that can be enabled to prevent reverse (drainto-source) current flow in the low-side MOSFET. When configured for diode emulation (DEM), the low-side
MOSFET is switched off when reverse current flow is detected by sensing of the applicable SW voltage using
a zero-cross comparator. The benefit of this configuration is lower power loss at light-load conditions; the
disadvantage being slower light-load transient response.
The diode emulation feature is configured with the DEMB pin. To enable diode emulation and thus achieve
discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) operation at light loads, connect DEMB to AGND. If FPWM or continuous
conduction mode (CCM) operation is desired, tie DEMB to VDDA. See Table 8-4. Note that diode emulation is
automatically engaged to prevent reverse current flow during a pre-bias start-up in FPWM. A gradual change
from DCM to CCM operation provides monotonic start-up performance.

8.4.3 Thermal Shutdown
The LM5143-Q1 includes an internal junction temperature monitor. If the temperature exceeds 175°C (typical),
thermal shutdown occurs. When entering thermal shutdown, the device:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Turns off the high-side and low-side MOSFETs
Pulls SS1/2 and PG1/2 low
Turns off the VCC regulator
Initiates a soft-start sequence when the die temperature decreases by the thermal shutdown hysteresis of
15°C (typical)
This is a non-latching protection, and as such, the device cycles into and out of thermal shutdown if the fault
persists.

9 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.
9.1 Application Information
The LM5143-Q1 is a synchronous buck controller used to convert a higher input voltage to two lower output
voltages. The following sections discuss the design procedure for a dual-output implementation using a specific
circuit design example. To expedite and streamline the process of designing of a LM5143-Q1-based regulator,
a comprehensive LM5143-Q1 Quickstart Calculator is available for download to assist the designer with
component selection for a given application.
9.1.1 Power Train Components
A comprehensive understanding of the buck regulator power train components is critical to successfully
completing a synchronous buck regulator design. The following section discuss the the following:

9.1.1.1 Buck Inductor
For most applications, choose a buck inductance such that the inductor ripple current, ΔIL, is between 30% to
50% of the maximum DC output current at nominal input voltage. Choose the inductance using Equation 15
based on a peak inductor current given by Equation 16.

Check the inductor data sheet to make sure that the saturation current of the inductor is well above the peak
inductor current of a particular design. Ferrite designs have very low core loss and are preferred at high
switching frequencies, so design goals can then concentrate on copper loss and preventing saturation. Low
inductor core loss is evidenced by reduced no-load input current and higher light-load efficiency. However, ferrite
core materials exhibit a hard saturation characteristic and the inductance collapses abruptly when the saturation
current is exceeded. This results in an abrupt increase in inductor ripple current and higher output voltage ripple,
not to mention reduced efficiency and compromised reliability. Note that the saturation current of an inductor
generally decreases as its core temperature increases. Of course, accurate overcurrent protection is key to
avoiding inductor saturation.
9.1.1.2 Output Capacitors
Ordinarily, the output capacitor energy store of the regulator combined with the control loop response are
prescribed to maintain the integrity of the output voltage within the dynamic (transient) tolerance specifications.
The usual boundaries restricting the output capacitor in power management applications are driven by finite
available PCB area, component footprint and profile, and cost. The capacitor parasitics—equivalent series
resistance (ESR) and equivalent series inductance (ESL)—take greater precedence in shaping the load transient
response of the regulator as the load step amplitude and slew rate increase.

The output capacitor, COUT, filters the inductor ripple current and provides a reservoir of charge for step-load
transient events. Typically, ceramic capacitors provide extremely low ESR to reduce the output voltage ripple
and noise spikes, while tantalum and electrolytic capacitors provide a large bulk capacitance in a relatively
compact footprint for transient loading events.
Based on the static specification of peak-to-peak output voltage ripple denoted by ΔVOUT, choose an output
capacitance that is larger than that given by Equation 17.

Figure 9-1 conceptually illustrates the relevant current waveforms during both load step-up and step-down
transitions. As shown, the large-signal slew rate of the inductor current is limited as the inductor current ramps
to match the new load-current level following a load transient. This slew-rate limiting exacerbates the deficit
of charge in the output capacitor, which must be replenished as rapidly as possible during and after the load
step-up transient. Similarly, during and after a load step-down transient, the slew rate limiting of the inductor
current adds to the surplus of charge in the output capacitor that must be depleted as quickly as possible.

Figure 9-1. Load Transient Response Representation Showing COUT Charge Surplus or Deficit
In a typical regulator application of 12-V input to low output voltage (for example, 3.3 V), the load-off transient
represents the worst case in terms of output voltage transient deviation. In that conversion ratio application, the
steady-state duty cycle is approximately 28% and the large-signal inductor current slew rate when the duty cycle
collapses to zero is approximately –VOUT/L. Compared to a load-on transient, the inductor current takes much
longer to transition to the required level. The surplus of charge in the output capacitor causes the output voltage
to significantly overshoot. In fact, to deplete this excess charge from the output capacitor as quickly as possible,
the inductor current must ramp below its nominal level following the load step. In this scenario, a large output
capacitance can be advantageously employed to absorb the excess charge and minimize the voltage overshoot.
To meet the dynamic specification of output voltage overshoot during such a load-off transient (denoted as
ΔVOVERSHOOT with step reduction in output current given by ΔIOUT), the output capacitance must be larger than:

The ESR of a capacitor is provided in the manufacturer’s data sheet either explicitly as a specification or
implicitly in the impedance versus frequency curve. Depending on type, size, and construction, electrolytic
capacitors have significant ESR, 5 mΩ and above, and relatively large ESL, 5 nH to 20 nH. PCB traces
contribute some parasitic resistance and inductance as well. Ceramic output capacitors, on the other hand, have
low ESR and ESL contributions at the switching frequency, and the capacitive impedance component dominates.
However, depending on the package and voltage rating of the ceramic capacitor, the effective capacitance can
drop quite significantly with applied DC voltage and operating temperature.
Ignoring the ESR term in Equation 17 gives a quick estimation of the minimum ceramic capacitance necessary
to meet the output ripple specification. Two to four 47-µF, 10-V, X7R capacitors in 1206 or 1210 footprint is a
common choice for a 5-V output. Use Equation 18 to determine if additional capacitance is necessary to meet
the load-off transient overshoot specification.
A composite implementation of ceramic and electrolytic capacitors highlights the rationale for paralleling
capacitors of dissimilar chemistries yet complementary performance. The frequency response of each capacitor
is accretive in that each capacitor provides desirable performance over a certain portion of the frequency range.
While the ceramic provides excellent mid- and high-frequency decoupling characteristics with its low ESR and
ESL to minimize the switching frequency output ripple, the electrolytic device with its large bulk capacitance
provides low-frequency energy storage to cope with load transient demands.
9.1.1.3 Input Capacitors
Input capacitors are necessary to limit the input ripple voltage to the buck power stage due to switchingfrequency AC currents. TI recommends using X7S or X7R dielectric ceramic capacitors to provide low
impedance and high RMS current rating over a wide temperature range. To minimize the parasitic inductance
in the switching loop, position the input capacitors as close as possible to the drain of the high-side MOSFET
and the source of the low-side MOSFET. Use Equation 19 to calculate the input capacitor RMS current for a
single-channel buck regulator.

The highest input capacitor RMS current occurs at D = 0.5, at which point the RMS current rating of the input
capacitors is greater than half the output current.
Ideally, the DC component of input current is provided by the input voltage source and the AC component by the
input filter capacitors. Neglecting inductor ripple current, the input capacitors source current of amplitude (IOUT −
IIN) during the D interval and sink IIN during the 1−D interval. Thus, the input capacitors conduct a square-wave
current of peak-to-peak amplitude equal to the output current. It follows that the resultant capacitive component
of AC ripple voltage is a triangular waveform. Together with the ESR-related ripple component, use Equation 20
to calculate the peak-to-peak ripple voltage amplitude.

Low-ESR ceramic capacitors can be placed in parallel with higher valued bulk capacitance to provide optimized
input filtering for the regulator and damping to mitigate the effects of input parasitic inductance resonating
with high-Q ceramics. One bulk capacitor of sufficiently high current rating and four 10-μF 50-V X7R ceramic
decoupling capacitors are usually sufficient for 12-V battery automotive applications. Select the input bulk
capacitor based on its ripple current rating and operating temperature range.
Of course, a two-channel buck regulator with 180° out-of-phase interleaved switching provides input ripple
current cancellation and reduced input capacitor current stress. The previous equations represent valid
calculations when one output is disabled and the other output is fully loaded.
9.1.1.4 Power MOSFETs
The choice of power MOSFETs has significant impact on DC/DC regulator performance. A MOSFET with
low on-state resistance, RDS(on), reduces conduction loss, whereas low parasitic capacitances enable faster
transition times and reduced switching loss. Normally, the lower the RDS(on) of a MOSFET, the higher the gate
charge and output charge (QG and QOSS, respectively), and vice versa. As a result, the product of RDS(on) and
QG is commonly specified as a MOSFET figure-of-merit. Low thermal resistance of a given package ensures that
the MOSFET power dissipation does not result in excessive MOSFET die temperature.
The main parameters affecting power MOSFET selection in a LM5143-Q1 application are as follows:
•
•
•
•
•
•
RDS(on) at VGS = 5 V
Drain-source voltage rating, BVDSS, is typically 40 V, 60 V, or 80 V, depending on the maximum input voltage.
Gate charge parameters at VGS = 5 V
Output charge, QOSS, at the relevant input voltage
Body diode reverse recovery charge, QRR
Gate threshold voltage, VGS(th), derived from the Miller plateau evident in the QG versus VGS plot in the
MOSFET data sheet. With a Miller plateau voltage typically in the range of 2 V to 3 V, the 5-V gate drive
amplitude of the LM5143-Q1 provides an adequately-enhanced MOSFET when on and a margin against
Cdv/dt shoot-through when off.
The MOSFET-related power losses for one channel are summarized by the equations presented in Table 9-1,
where suffixes 1 and 2 represent high-side and low-side MOSFET parameters, respectively. While the influence
of inductor ripple current is considered, second-order loss modes, such as those related to parasitic inductances
and SW node ringing, are not included. Consult the LM5143-Q1 Quickstart Calculator. The calculator is available
for download from the LM5143-Q1 product folder to assist with power loss calculations.

Gate drive loss is apportioned based on the internal gate resistance of the MOSFET, externally added series gate resistance, and the
relevant driver resistance of the LM5143-Q1.
MOSFET RDS(on) has a positive temperature coefficient of approximately 4500 ppm/°C. The MOSFET junction temperature, TJ, and its
rise over ambient temperature is dependent upon the device total power dissipation and its thermal impedance. When operating at or
near minimum input voltage, make sure that the MOSFET RDS(on) is rated for the available gate drive voltage.

inductor current at high-side MOSFET turnoff. During turnon, however, a current flows from the input to charge the output capacitance
of the low-side MOSFET. Eoss1, the energy of Coss1, is dissipated at turnon, but this is offset by the stored energy Eoss2 on Coss2. For
more detail, refer to "Comparison of deadtime effects on the performance of DC-DC converters with GaN FETs and silicon MOSFETs,"
ECCE 2016.
MOSFET body diode reverse recovery charge, QRR, depends on many parameters, particularly forward current, current transition
speed, and temperature.
The high-side (control) MOSFET carries the inductor current during the PWM on-time (or D interval) and
typically incurs most of the switching losses, so it is imperative to choose a high-side MOSFET that balances
conduction and switching loss contributions. The total power dissipation in the high-side MOSFET is the sum of
the following:
•
•
•
•
Losses due to conduction
Switching (voltage-current overlap)
Output charge
Typically two-thirds of the net loss attributed to body diode reverse recovery
The low-side (synchronous) MOSFET carries the inductor current when the high-side MOSFET is off (or 1–D
interval). The low-side MOSFET switching loss is negligible as it is switched at zero voltage – current just
commutates from the channel to the body diode or vice versa during the transition deadtimes. The LM5143-Q1,
with its adaptive gate drive timing, minimizes body diode conduction losses when both MOSFETs are off. Such
losses scale directly with switching frequency.
In high step-down ratio applications, the low-side MOSFET carries the current for a large portion of the switching
period. Therefore, to attain high efficiency, it is critical to optimize the low-side MOSFET for low RDS(on). In cases
where the conduction loss is too high or the target RDS(on) is lower than available in a single MOSFET, connect
two low-side MOSFETs in parallel. The total power dissipation of the low-side MOSFET is the sum of the losses
due to channel conduction, body diode conduction, and typically one-third of the net loss attributed to body diode
reverse recovery. The LM5143-Q1 is well suited to drive TI's portfolio of NexFET™ power MOSFETs.
9.1.1.5 EMI Filter
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.

The EMI filter design steps are as follows:
•
•
•
Calculate the required attenuation of the EMI filter at the switching frequency, where CIN represents the
existing capacitance at the input of the switching converter.
The input filter inductor LIN is usually selected between 1 μH and 10 μH, but it can be lower to reduce losses
in a high-current design.
Calculate input filter capacitor CF.

Adding an input filter to a switching regulator modifies the control-to-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. Use Equation 25 to calculate
the resonant frequency of the filter.

The purpose of RD is to reduce the peak output impedance of the filter at its resonant frequency. Capacitor CD
blocks the DC component of the input voltage to avoid excessive power dissipation in RD. Capacitor CD must
have lower impedance than RD at the resonant frequency with a capacitance value greater than that of the input
capacitor CIN. This prevents CIN from interfering with the cutoff frequency of the main filter. Added damping is
needed when the output impedance of the filter is high at the resonant frequency (Q of the filter formed by LIN
and CIN is too high). An electrolytic capacitor CD can be used for damping with a value given by Equation 26.

9.2.1.2.6 Input Capacitors
A power supply input typically has a relatively high source impedance at the switching frequency. Good-quality
input capacitors are necessary to limit the input ripple voltage. As mentioned earlier, dual-channel interleaved
operation significantly reduces the input ripple amplitude. In general, the ripple current splits between the input
capacitors based on the relative impedance of the capacitors at the switching frequency.
1. Select the input capacitors with sufficient voltage and RMS ripple current ratings.
2. Worst case input ripple for a two-channel buck regulator typically corresponds to when one channel operates
at full load and the other channel is disabled or operates at no load. Use Equation 41 to calculate the input
capacitor RMS ripple current assuming a worst-case duty-cycle operating point of 50%.

where
• ΔVIN is the input peak-to-peak ripple voltage specification.

4. Recognizing the voltage coefficient of ceramic capacitors, select two 10-µF, 50-V, X7R, 1210 ceramic input
capacitors for each channel. Place these capacitors adjacent to the relevant power MOSFETs.
5. Use four 10-nF, 50-V, X7R, 0603 ceramic capacitors near each high-side MOSFET to supply the high di/dt
current during MOSFET switching transitions. Such capacitors offer high self-resonant frequency (SRF)
and low effective impedance above 100 MHz. The result is lower power loop parasitic inductance, thus
minimizing switch-node voltage overshoot and ringing for lower EMI signature. Refer to Figure 11-2 in Layout
Guidelines for more details.

9.2.2 Design 2 – Two-Phase, Single-Output Buck Regulator for Automotive ADAS Applications
Figure 9-21 shows the schematic diagram of a single-output, two-phase synchronous buck regulator with an
output voltage of 5 V and rated load current of 15 A. In this example, the target half-load and full-load efficiencies
are 93% and 91%, respectively, based on a nominal input voltage of 12 V that ranges from 5 V to 36 V. The
switching frequency is set at 2.1 MHz by resistor RRT. The 5-V output is connected to VCCX to reduce IC
bias power dissipation and improve light-load efficiency. An output voltage of 3.3 V is also feasible simply by
connecting FB1 to VDDA.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
The LM5143-Q1 buck controller is designed to operate over a wide input voltage range of 3.5 V to 65 V. The
characteristics of the input supply must be compatible with the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Recommended
Operating Conditions . In addition, the input supply must be capable of delivering the required input current to
the fully-loaded regulator. Use Equation 46 to estimate the average input current.
IIN
POUT
VIN ˜ K
(46)
where
•
η is the efficiency
If the regulator is connected to an input supply through long wires or PCB traces with a large impedance,
take special care to achieve stable performance. The parasitic inductance and resistance of the input cables
may 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. The best way to solve such issues is to reduce the distance from the input supply
to the regulator and use an aluminum or tantalum input capacitor in parallel with the ceramics. The moderate
ESR of the electrolytic capacitors helps to damp the input resonant circuit and reduce any voltage overshoots.
A capacitance in the range of 10 µF to 47 µF is usually sufficient to provide parallel input damping and helps to
hold the input voltage steady during large load transients.
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 affects mentioned above. The Simple Success with Conducted EMI for DC-DC Converters
Application Report provides helpful suggestions when designing an input filter for any switching regulator.

11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
Proper PCB design and layout is important in a high-current, fast-switching circuits (with high current and voltage
slew rates) to achieve a robust and reliable design. As expected, certain issues must be considered before
designing a PCB layout using the LM5143-Q1. The high-frequency power loop of a buck regulator power stage
is denoted by loop 1 in the shaded area of Figure 11-1. The topological architecture of a buck regulator means
that particularly high di/dt current flows in the components of loop 1, and it becomes mandatory to reduce the
parasitic inductance of this loop by minimizing its effective loop area. Also important are the gate drive loops of
the low-side and high-side MOSFETs, denoted by 2 and 3, respectively, in Figure 11-1.

Figure 11-1. DC/DC Regulator Ground System With Power Stage and Gate Drive Circuit Switching Loops
11.1.1 Power Stage Layout
1. Input capacitors, output capacitors, and MOSFETs are the constituent components of the power stage of a
buck regulator and are typically placed on the top side of the PCB (solder side). The benefits of convective
heat transfer are maximized because of leveraging any system-level airflow. In a two-sided PCB layout,
small-signal components are typically placed on the bottom side (component side). Insert at least one inner
plane, connected to ground, to shield and isolate the small-signal traces from noisy power traces and lines.
2. The DC/DC regulator has several high-current loops. Minimize the area of these loops in order to suppress
generated switching noise and optimize switching performance.
• Loop 1: The most important loop area to minimize is the path from the input capacitor or capacitors
through the high- and low-side MOSFETs, and back to the capacitor or capacitors through the ground
connection. Connect the input capacitor or capacitors negative terminal close to the source of the lowside MOSFET (at ground). Similarly, connect the input capacitor or capacitors positive terminal close to
the drain of the high-side MOSFET (at VIN). Refer to loop 1 of Figure 11-1.
• Another loop, not as critical as loop 1, is the path from the low-side MOSFET through the inductor and
output capacitor or capacitors, and back to source of the low-side MOSFET through ground. Connect the
source of the low-side MOSFET and negative terminal of the output capacitor or capacitors at ground as
close as possible.

3. The PCB trace defined as SW node, which connects to the source of the high-side (control) MOSFET, the
drain of the low-side (synchronous) MOSFET and the high-voltage side of the inductor, must be short and
wide. However, the SW connection is a source of injected EMI and thus must not be too large.
4. Follow any layout considerations of the MOSFETs as recommended by the MOSFET manufacturer,
including pad geometry and solder paste stencil design.
5. The SW pin connects to the switch node of the power conversion stage and acts as the return path for the
high-side gate driver. The parasitic inductance inherent to loop 1 in Figure 11-1 and the output capacitance
(COSS) of both power MOSFETs form a resonant circuit that induces high frequency (greater than 50 MHz)
ringing at the SW node. The voltage peak of this ringing, if not controlled, can be significantly higher than
the input voltage. Make sure that the peak ringing amplitude does not exceed the absolute maximum rating
limit for the SW pin. In many cases, a series resistor and capacitor snubber network connected from the SW
node to GND damps the ringing and decreases the peak amplitude. Provide provisions for snubber network
components in the PCB layout. If testing reveals that the ringing amplitude at the SW pin is excessive, then
include snubber components as needed.
11.1.2 Gate-Drive Layout
The LM5143-Q1 high-side and low-side gate drivers incorporate short propagation delays, adaptive dead-time
control, and low-impedance output stages capable of delivering large peak currents with very fast rise and
fall times to facilitate rapid turnon and turnoff transitions of the power MOSFETs. Very high di/dt can cause
unacceptable ringing if the trace lengths and impedances are not well controlled.
Minimization of stray or parasitic gate loop inductance is key to optimizing gate drive switching performance,
whether it be series gate inductance that resonates with MOSFET gate capacitance or common source
inductance (common to gate and power loops) that provides a negative feedback component opposing the
gate drive command, thereby increasing MOSFET switching times. The following loops are important:
• Loop 2: high-side MOSFET, Q1. During the high-side MOSFET turnon, high current flows from the bootstrap
(boot) capacitor through the gate driver and high-side MOSFET, and back to the negative terminal of the boot
capacitor through the SW connection. Conversely, to turn off the high-side MOSFET, high current flows from
the gate of the high-side MOSFET through the gate driver and SW, and back to the source of the high-side
MOSFET through the SW trace. Refer to loop 2 of Figure 11-1.
• Loop 3: low-side MOSFET, Q2. During the low-side MOSFET turnon, high current flows from the VCC
decoupling capacitor through the gate driver and low-side MOSFET, and back to the negative terminal of the
capacitor through ground. Conversely, to turn off the low-side MOSFET, high current flows from the gate of
the low-side MOSFET through the gate driver and GND, and back to the source of the low-side MOSFET
through ground. Refer to loop 3 of Figure 11-1.
TI strongly recommends following circuit layout guidelines when designing with high-speed MOSFET gate drive
circuits.
1. Connections from gate driver outputs, HO1/2, HOL1/2, LO1/2, and LOL1/2 to the respective gates of the
high-side or low-side MOSFETs must be as short as possible to reduce series parasitic inductance. Be
aware that peak gate drive currents can be as high as 4.25 A. Use 0.65 mm (25 mils) or wider traces.
Use via or vias, if necessary, of at least 0.5 mm (20 mils) diameter along these traces. Route HO and SW
gate traces as a differential pair from the LM5143-Q1 to the high-side MOSFET, taking advantage of flux
cancellation.
2. Minimize the current loop path from the VCC and HB pins through their respective capacitors as these
provide the high instantaneous current, up to 4.25 A, to charge the MOSFET gate capacitances. Specifically,
locate the bootstrap capacitor, CBST, close to the HB and SW pins of the LM5143-Q1 to minimize the area of
loop 2 associated with the high-side driver. Similarly, locate the VCC capacitor, CVCC, close to the VCC and
PGND pins of the LM5143-Q1 to minimize the area of loop 3 associated with the low-side driver.
11.1.3 PWM Controller Layout
With the provison to locate the controller as close as possible to the power MOSFETs to minimize gate driver
trace runs, the components related to the analog and feedback signals as well as current sensing are considered
in the following:
1. Separate power and signal traces, and use a ground plane to provide noise shielding.

2. Place all sensitive analog traces and components related to COMP1/2, FB1/2, CS1/2, SS1/2, RES and RT
away from high-voltage switching nodes such as SW1/2, HO1/2, LO1/2 or HB1/2 to avoid mutual coupling.
Use internal layer or layers as ground plane or planes. Pay particular attention to shielding the feedback (FB)
trace from power traces and components.
3. Locate the upper and lower feedback resistors (if required) close to the respective FB pins, keeping the FB
traces as short as possible. Route the trace from the upper feedback resistor or resistors to the required
output voltage sense point(s) at the load or loads.
4. Route the CS1/2 and VOUT1/2 traces as differential pairs to minimize noise pickup and use Kelvin
connections to the applicable shunt resistor (if shunt current sensing is used) or to the sense capacitor
(if inductor DCR current sensing is used).
5. Minimize the loop area from the VCC1/2 and VIN pins through their respective decoupling capacitors to the
relevant PGND pins. Locate these capacitors as close as possible to the LM5143-Q1.
11.1.4 Thermal Design and Layout
The useful operating temperature range of a PWM controller with integrated gate drivers and bias supply LDO
regulator is greatly affected by the following:
•
•
•
•
Average gate drive current requirements of the power MOSFETs
Switching frequency
Operating input voltage (affecting bias regulator LDO voltage drop and hence its power dissipation)
Thermal characteristics of the package and operating environment
For a PWM controller to be useful over a particular temperature range, the package must allow for the efficient
removal of the heat produced while keeping the junction temperature within rated limits. The LM5143-Q1
controller is available in a small 6-mm × 6-mm 40-pin VQFNP (RGW) PowerPAD package to cover a range of
application requirements. Thermal Information summarizes the thermal metrics of this package.
The 40-pin VQFNP package offers a means of removing heat from the semiconductor die through the exposed
thermal pad at the base of the package. While the exposed pad of the package is not directly connected to any
leads of the package, it is thermally connected to the substrate of the LM5143-Q1 device (ground). This allows a
significant improvement in heat sinking, and it becomes imperative that the PCB is designed with thermal lands,
thermal vias, and a ground plane to complete the heat removal subsystem. The exposed pad of the LM5143-Q1
is soldered to the ground-connected copper land on the PCB directly underneath the device package, reducing
the thermal resistance to a very low value.
Numerous vias with a 0.3-mm diameter connected from the thermal land to the internal and solder-side ground
plane or planes are vital to help dissipation. In a multi-layer PCB design, a solid ground plane is typically placed
on the PCB layer below the power components. Not only does this provide a plane for the power stage currents
to flow but it also represents a thermally conductive path away from the heat generating devices.
The thermal characteristics of the MOSFETs also are significant. The drain pads of the high-side MOSFETs are
normally connected to a VIN plane for heat sinking. The drain pads of the low-side MOSFETs are tied to the
respective SW planes, but the SW plane area is purposely kept as small as possible to mitigate EMI concerns.
11.1.5 Ground Plane Design
As mentioned previously, using one or more of the inner PCB layers as a solid ground plane is recommended. A
ground plane offers shielding for sensitive circuits and traces and also provides a quiet reference potential for the
control circuitry. Connect the PGND1 and PGND2 pins to the system ground plane using an array of vias under
the exposed pad. Also connect the PGND1 and PGND2 pins directly to the return terminals of the input and
output capacitors. The PGND nets contain noise at the switching frequency and can bounce because of load
current variations. The power traces for PGND1/2, VIN and SW1/2 can be restricted to one side of the ground
plane. The other side of the ground plane contains much less noise and is ideal for sensitive analog trace routes.

11.2 Layout Example
Based on the LM5143-Q1EVM-2100 design, Figure 11-2 shows a single-sided layout of a dual-output
synchronous buck regulator. Each power stage is surrounded by a GND pad geometry to connect an EMI
shield if needed. The design uses layer 2 of the PCB as a power-loop return path directly underneath the top
layer to create a low-area switching power loop of approximately 2 mm². This loop area, and hence parasitic
inductance, must be as small as possible to minimize EMI as well as switch-node voltage overshoot and ringing.

Figure 11-2. PCB Top Layer
As shown in Figure 11-3, the high-frequency power loop current of one channel flows through MOSFETs Q2
and Q4, through the power ground plane on layer 2, and back to VIN through the 0603 ceramic capacitors
C16 through C19. The currents flowing in opposing directions in the vertical loop configuration provide field
self-cancellation, reducing parasitic inductance. Figure 11-4 shows a side view to illustrate the concept of
creating a low-profile, self-canceling loop in a multilayer PCB structure. The layer-2 GND plane layer, shown in
Figure 11-3, provides a tightly-coupled current return path directly under the MOSFETs to the source terminals of
Q2.
Four 10-nF input capacitors with small 0402 or 0603 case size are placed in parallel very close to the drain
of each high-side MOSFET. The low equivalent series inductance (ESL) and high self-resonant frequency
(SRF) of the small footprint capacitors yield excellent high-frequency performance. The negative terminals of
these capacitors are connected to the layer-2 GND plane with multiple 12-mil (0.3-mm) diameter vias, further
minimizing parasitic loop inductance.
Additional steps used in this layout example include:

Keep the SW connection from the power MOSFETs to the inductor (for each channel) at minimum copper
area to reduce radiated EMI.
Locate the controller close to the gate terminals of the MOSFETs such that the gate drive traces are routed
short and direct.
