5 Description (continued)
The internal VCC regulator also supports BIAS pin operation up to 45 V (50-V absolute maximum) for
automotive load dump. The switching frequency is dynamically programmable with an external resistor from 100
kHz to 2.2 MHz. Switching at 2.2 MHz minimizes AM band interference and allows for a small solution size and
fast transient response.
The device features a 1.5-A standard MOSFET driver and a low 100-mV current limit threshold. The device also
supports the use of an external VCC supply to improve efficiency. Low operating current and pulse-skipping
operation improve efficiency at light loads.
The device has built-in protection features such as cycle-by-cycle current limit, overvoltage protection, line
UVLO, and thermal shutdown. Hiccup mode overload protection is available in the LM51551-Q1 device option.
Additional features include low shutdown IQ, programmable soft start, programmable slope compensation,
precision reference, power-good indicator, and external clock synchronization.

9 Detailed Description
9.1 Overview
The LM5155x-Q1 device is a wide input range, non-synchronous boost controller that uses peak-current-mode
control. The device can be used in boost, SEPIC, and flyback topologies.
The LM5155x-Q1 device can start up from a 1-cell battery with a minimum of 2.97 V if the BIAS pin is connected
to the VCC pin. It can operate with the input supply voltage as low as 1.5 V if the BIAS pin is greater than 3.5 V.
The internal VCC regulator also supports BIAS pin operation up to 45 V (50-V absolute maximum) for
automotive load dump. The switching frequency is dynamically programmable with an external resistor from 100
kHz to 2.2 MHz. Switching at 2.2 MHz minimizes AM band interference and allows for a small solution size and
fast transient response.
The device features a 1.5-A standard MOSFET driver and a low 100-mV current limit threshold. The device also
supports the use of an external VCC supply to improve efficiency. Low operating current and pulse skipping
operation improve efficiency at light loads.
The device has built-in protection features such as cycle-by-cycle current limit, overvoltage protection, line
UVLO, and thermal shutdown. Hiccup mode overload protection is available in the LM51551-Q1 device option.
Additional features include low shutdown IQ, programmable soft start, programmable slope compensation,
precision reference, power good indicator, and external clock synchronization.

9.3 Feature Description
9.3.1 Line Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO/SYNC Pin)
The device has a dual-level UVLO circuit. During power-on, if the BIAS pin voltage is greater than 2.7 V, the
UVLO pin voltage is in between the enable threshold (VEN), and the UVLO threshold (VUVLO) for more than 1.5
µs (see Section 9.3.5 for more details), the device starts up and an internal configuration starts. The device
typically requires a 65-µs internal start-up delay before entering standby mode. In standby mode, the VCC
regulator and RT regulator are operational, SS pin is grounded, and there is no switching at the GATE output.

Figure 9-1. Line UVLO and Enable
When the UVLO pin voltage is above the UVLO threshold, the device enters run mode. In run mode, a soft-start
sequence starts if the VCC voltage is greater than 4.5 V, or 50 µs after the VCC voltage exceeds the 2.85-V
VCC UV threshold (VVCC-UVLO), whichever comes first. UVLO hysteresis is accomplished with an internal 50-mV
voltage hysteresis and an additional 5-μA current source that is switched on or off. When the UVLO pin voltage
exceeds the UVLO threshold, the current source is enabled to quickly raise the voltage at the UVLO pin. When
the UVLO pin voltage falls below the UVLO threshold, the current source is disabled, causing the voltage at the
UVLO pin to fall quickly. When the UVLO pin voltage is less than the enable threshold (VEN), the device enters
shutdown mode after a 35-µs (typical) delay with all functions disabled.

9.3.2 High Voltage VCC Regulator (BIAS, VCC Pin)
The device has an internal wide input VCC regulator which is sourced from the BIAS pin. The wide input VCC
regulator allows the BIAS pin to be connected directly to supply voltages from 3.5 V to 45 V.
The VCC regulator turns on when the device is in the standby or run mode. When the BIAS pin voltage is below
the VCC regulation target, the VCC output tracks the BIAS with a small dropout voltage. When the BIAS pin
voltage is greater than the VCC regulation target, the VCC regulator provides a 6.85-V supply for the N-channel
MOSFET driver.
The VCC regulator sources current into the capacitor connected to the VCC pin with a minimum of 35-mA
capability. The recommended VCC capacitor value is from 1 µF to 4.7 µF.
The device supports a wide input range from 3.5 V to 45 V in normal configuration. By connecting the BIAS pin
directly to the VCC pin, the device supports inputs from 2.97 V to 16 V. This configuration is recommended when
the device starts up from a 1-cell battery.

In flyback topology, the internal power dissipation of the device can be decreased by supplying the VCC using an
additional transformer winding. In this configuration, the external VCC supply voltage must be greater than the
VCC regulation target (VVCC-REG), and the BIAS pin voltage must be greater the VCC voltage because the VCC
regulator includes a diode between VCC and BIAS.

If the voltage of the external VCC bias supply is greater than the BIAS pin voltage, use an external blocking

boost input supply through VCC.
9.3.3 Soft Start (SS Pin)
The soft-start feature helps the converter gradually reach the steady state operating point, thus reducing start-up
stresses and surges. The device regulates the FB pin to the SS pin voltage or the internal reference, whichever
is lower.
At start-up, the internal 10-μA soft-start current source (ISS) turns on 50 µs after the VCC voltage exceeds the
2.85-VCC UV threshold, or if the VCC voltage is greater than 4.5 V, whichever comes first. The soft-start current
gradually increases the voltage on an external soft-start capacitor connected to the SS pin. This results in a
gradual rise of the output voltage. The SS pin is pulled down to ground by an internal switch when the VCC is

9.3.5 Clock Synchronization (UVLO/SYNC Pin)
The switching frequency of the device can be synchronized to an external clock by pulling down the UVLO/
SYNC pin. The internal clock of the device is synchronized at the falling edge, but ignores the falling edge input
during the forced off-time which is determined by the maximum duty cycle limit. The external synchronization
clock must pull down the UVLO/SYNC pin voltage below 1.45 V (typical). The duty cycle of the pulldown pulse is
not limited, but the minimum pulldown pulse width must be greater than 150 ns, and the minimum pullup pulse
width must be greater than 250 ns. Figure 9-10 shows an implementation of the remote shutdown function. The
UVLO pin can be pulled down by a discrete MOSFET or an open-drain output of an MCU. In this configuration,
the device stops switching immediately after the UVLO pin is grounded, and the device shuts down 35 µs
(typical) after the UVLO pin is grounded.

Figure 9-11 shows an implementation of shutdown and clock synchronization functions together. In this
configuration, the device stops switching immediately when the UVLO pin is grounded, and the device shuts
down if the fSYNC stays in high logic state for longer than 35 µs (typical) (UVLO is in low logic state for more than
35 µs (typical)). The device runs at fSYNC if clock pulses are provided after the device is enabled.

Figure 9-13 and Figure 9-14 show implementations of standby and clock synchronization functions together. In
this configuration, the device stops switching immediately if fSYNC stays in high logic state and enters standby
mode if fSYNC stays in high logic state for longer than two switching cycles. The device runs at the fSYNC if clock
pulses are provided. Because the device can be enabled when the UVLO pin voltage is greater than the enable
threshold for more than 1.5 µs, the configurations in Figure 9-13 and Figure 9-14 are recommended if the
external clock synchronization pulses are provided from the start before the device is enabled. This 1.5-µs
requirement can be relaxed when the duty cycle of the synchronization pulse is greater than 50%. Figure 9-12
shows the required minimum duty cycle to start up by synchronization pulses. When the switching frequency is
greater than 1.1 MHz, the UVLO pin voltage should be greater than the enable threshold for more than 1.5 µs
before applying the external synchronization pulse.

If the UVLO function is not required, the shutdown and clock synchronization functions can be implemented
together by using one push-pull output of the MCU. In this configuration, the device shuts down if fSYNC stays in
low logic state for longer than 35 µs (typical). The device is enabled if fSYNC stays in high logic state for longer
than 1.5 µs. The device runs at the fSYNC if clock pulses are provided after the device is enabled. Also, in this
configuration, it is recommended to apply the external clock pulses after the BIAS is supplied. By limiting the
current flowing into the UVLO pin below 1 mA using a current limiting resistor, the external clock pulses can be
supplied before the BIAS is supplied (see Figure 9-15).

The external clock frequency (fSYNC) must be within +25% and –30% of fRT(TYPICAL). Because the maximum duty
cycle limit and the peak current limit with slope resistor (RSL) are affected by the clock synchronization, take
extra care when using the clock synchronization function. See Section 9.3.6, Section 9.3.7, and Section 9.3.11
for more information.
9.3.6 Current Sense and Slope Compensation (CS Pin)
The device has a low-side current sense and provides both fixed and optional programmable slope
compensation ramps, which help to prevent subharmonic oscillation at high duty cycle. Both fixed and
programmable slope compensation ramps are added to the sensed inductor current input for the PWM
operation, but only the programmable slope compensation ramp is added to the sensed inductor current input
(see Figure 9-17). For an accurate peak current limit operation over the input supply voltage, TI recommends
using only the fixed slope compensation (see Figure 8-5).
The device can generate the programmable slope compensation ramp using an external slope resistor (RSL) and
a sawtooth current source with a slope of 30 μA × fRT. This current flows out of the CS pin.

amplifier sources current which is proportional to the difference between the FB pin and the SS pin voltage or the
internal reference, whichever is lower. The internal transconductance error amplifier provides symmetrical
sourcing and sinking capability during normal operation and reduces its sinking capability when the FB is greater
than OVP threshold.
To set the output regulation target, select the feedback resistor values as shown in Equation 14.

The output of the error amplifier is connected to the COMP pin, allowing the use of a Type 2 loop compensation
network. RCOMP, CCOMP, and optional CHF loop compensation components configure the error amplifier gain and
phase characteristics to achieve a stable loop response. The absolute maximum voltage rating of the FB pin is
3.8 V. If necessary, especially during automotive load dump transient, the feedback resistor divider input can be
clamped with an external zener diode.
The COMP pin features internal clamps. The maximum COMP clamp limits the maximum COMP pin voltage
below its absolute maximum rating even in shutdown. The minimum COMP clamp limits the minimum COMP pin
voltage in order to start switching as soon as possible during no load to heavy load transition. The minimum
COMP clamp is disabled when FB is connected to ground in flyback topology.
9.3.9 Power-Good Indicator (PGOOD Pin)
The device has a power-good indicator (PGOOD) to simplify sequencing and supervision. The PGOOD switches
to a high impedance open-drain state when the FB pin voltage is greater than the feedback undervoltage
threshold (VUVTH), the VCC is greater than the VCC UVLO threshold and the UVLO/EN is greater than the EN
threshold. A 25-μs deglitch filter prevents any false pulldown of the PGOOD due to transients. The
recommended minimum pullup resistor value is 10 kΩ.
Due to the internal diode path from the PGOOD pin to the BIAS pin, the PGOOD pin voltage cannot be greater
than VBIAS + 0.3 V.
9.3.10 Hiccup Mode Overload Protection (LM51551 Only)
To further protect the converter during prolonged current limit conditions, the LM51551 device option provides a
hiccup mode overload protection. The internal hiccup mode fault timer of the LM51551 counts the PWM clock
cycles when the cycle-by-cycle current limiting occurs. When the hiccup mode fault timer detects 64 cycles of
current limiting, an internal hiccup mode off timer forces the device to stop switching and pulls down SS. Then,
the device will restart after 32 768 cycles of hiccup mode off-time. The 64 cycle hiccup mode fault timer is reset if
eight consecutive switching cycles occur without exceeding the current limit threshold. The soft-start time must
be long enough not to trigger the hiccup mode protection during soft-start time because the hiccup mode fault
timer is enabled during the soft start.

9.3.11 Maximum Duty Cycle Limit and Minimum Input Supply Voltage
When designing boost converters, the maximum duty cycle should be reviewed at the minimum supply voltage.
The minimum input supply voltage that can achieve the target output voltage is limited by the maximum duty
cycle limit, and it can be estimated as follows.
VSUPPLY(MIN) | VLOAD
VF u 1 DMAX
ISUPPLY(MAX) u RDCR ISUPPLY(MAX) u RDS(ON) RS u DMAX
(15)
where
•
•
•
ISUPPLY(MAX) = the maximum input current.
RDCR = the DC resistance of the inductor.
RDS(ON) = the on-resistance of the MOSFET.
DMAX1
DMAX2
1 0.1u
fSYNC
fRT
(16)
1 100ns u fSW
(17)
The minimum input supply voltage can be further decreased by supplying fSYNC which is less than fRT. DMAX is
DMAX1 or DMAX2, whichever is lower.
9.3.12 MOSFET Driver (GATE Pin)
The device provides an N-channel MOSFET driver that can source or sink a peak current of 1.5 A. The peak
sourcing current is larger when supplying an external VCC that is higher than the 6.75-V VCC regulation target.
During start-up, especially when the input voltage range is below the VCC regulation target, the VCC voltage
must be sufficient to completely enhance the MOSFET. If the MOSFET drive voltage is lower than the MOSFET
gate plateau voltage during start-up, the boost converter may not start up properly and it can stick at the
maximum duty cycle in a high power dissipation state. This condition can be avoided by selecting a lower
threshold N-channel MOSFET switch and setting the VSUPPLY(ON) greater than 6 to 7 V. Since the internal VCC
regulator has a limited sourcing capability, the MOSFET gate charge should satisfy the following inequality.
QG@ VCC u fSW
35mA
(18)
An internal 1-MΩ resistor is connected between GATE and PGND to prevent a false turnon during shutdown. In
boost topology, a switch node dV/dT must be limited during the 65-µs internal start-up delay to avoid a false
turnon, which is caused by the coupling through CDG parasitic capacitance of the MOSFET.
9.3.13 Overvoltage Protection (OVP)
The device has OVP for the output voltage. OVP is sensed at the FB pin. If the voltage at the FB pin rises above
the overvoltage threshold (VOVTH), OVP is triggered and switching stops. During OVP, the internal error amplifier
is operational, but the maximum source and sink capability is decreased to 40 µA.
9.3.14 Thermal Shutdown (TSD)
An internal thermal shutdown turns off the VCC regulator, disables switching, and pulls down the SS when the
junction temperature exceeds the thermal shutdown threshold (TTSD). After the temperature is decreased by
15°C, the VCC regulator is enabled again and the device performs a soft start.

9.4 Device Functional Modes
9.4.1 Shutdown Mode
If the UVLO pin voltage is below the enable threshold for longer than 35 µs (typical), the device goes to the
shutdown mode with all functions disabled. In shutdown mode, the device decreases the BIAS pin current
consumption to below 2.6 μA (typical).
9.4.2 Standby Mode
If the UVLO pin voltage is greater than the enable threshold and below the UVLO threshold for longer than 1.5
µs, the device is in standby mode with the VCC regulator operational, RT regulator operational, SS pin
grounded, and no switching at the GATE output. The PGOOD is activated when the VCC voltage is greater than
the VCC UV threshold.
9.4.3 Run Mode
If the UVLO pin voltage is above the UVLO threshold and the VCC voltage is sufficient, the device enters RUN
mode. In this mode, soft start starts 50 µs after the VCC voltage exceeds the 2.85 VCC UV threshold, or if the
VCC voltage is greater than 4.5 V, whichever comes first.

10.2.2.3 Inductor Selection (LM)
When selecting the inductor, consider three key parameters: inductor current ripple ratio (RR), falling slope of the
inductor current, and RHP zero frequency (fRHP).
Inductor current ripple ratio is selected to have a balance between core loss and copper loss. The falling slope of
the inductor current must be low enough to prevent subharmonic oscillation at high duty cycle (additional RSL
resistor is required if not). Higher fRHP (= lower inductance) allows a higher crossover frequency and is always
preferred when using a small value output capacitor.
The inductance value can be selected to set the inductor current ripple between 30% and 70% of the average
inductor current as a good compromise between RR, FRHP, and inductor falling slope.
10.2.2.4 Output Capacitor (COUT)
There are a few ways to select the proper value of output capacitor (COUT). The output capacitor value can be
selected based on output voltage ripple, output overshoot, or undershoot due to load transient.
The ripple current rating of the output capacitors must be enough to handle the output ripple current. By using
multiple output capacitors, the ripple current can be split. In practice, ceramic capacitors are placed closer to the
diode and the MOSFET than the bulk aluminum capacitors in order to absorb the majority of the ripple current.
10.2.2.5 Input Capacitor
The input capacitors decrease the input voltage ripple. The required input capacitor value is a function of the
impedance of the source power supply. More input capacitors are required if the impedance of the source power
supply is not low enough.
10.2.2.6 MOSFET Selection
The MOSFET gate driver of the device is sourced from the VCC. The maximum gate charge is limited by the 35mA VCC sourcing current limit.
A leadless package is preferred for high switching-frequency designs. The MOSFET gate capacitance should be
small enough so that the gate voltage is fully discharged during the off-time.
10.2.2.7 Diode Selection
A Schottky is the preferred type for D1 diode due to its low forward voltage drop and small reverse recovery
charge. Low reverse leakage current is important parameter when selecting the Schottky diode. The diode must
be rated to handle the maximum output voltage plus any switching node ringing. Also, it must be able to handle
the average output current.

11 Power Supply Recommendations
The device is designed to operate from a power supply or a battery whose voltage range is from 1.5 V to 45 V.
The input power supply must be able to supply the maximum boost supply voltage and handle the maximum
input current at 1.5 V. The impedance of the power supply and battery including cables must be low enough that
an input current transient does not cause an excessive drop. Additional input ceramic capacitors may be
required at the supply input of the converter.

Put the Q1, D1, and RS components on the board first.
Use a small size ceramic capacitor for COUT.
Make the switching loop (COUT to D1 to Q1 to RS to COUT) as small as possible.
Leave a copper area near the D1 diode for thermal dissipation.
Put the device near the RS resistor.
Put the CVCC capacitor as near the device as possible between the VCC and PGND pins.
Use a wide and short trace to connect the PGND pin directly to the center of the sense resistor.
Connect the CS pin to the center of the sense resistor. If necessary, use vias.
Connect a filter capacitor between CS pin and power ground trace.
Connect the COMP pin to the compensation components (RCOMP and CCOMP).
Connect the CCOMP capacitor to the power ground trace.
Connect the AGND pin directly to the analog ground plane. Connect the AGND pin to the RUVLOB, RT, CSS,
and RFBB components.
Connect the exposed pad to the AGND and PGND pins under the device.
Connect the GATE pin to the gate of the Q1 FET. If necessary, use vias.
Make the switching signal loop (GATE to Q1 to RS to PGND to GATE) as small as possible.
Add several vias under the exposed pad to help conduct heat away from the device. Connect the vias to a
large ground plane on the bottom layer.

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