SNVSA47D – FEBRUARY 2016 – REVISED DECEMBER 2022
LM5165 3-V to 65-V Input, 150-mA Synchronous Buck Converter With Ultra-Low IQ
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
•
•
•
•
The LM5165 device is a compact, easy-to-use, 3V to 65-V, ultra-low IQ synchronous buck converter
with high efficiency over wide input voltage and load
current ranges. With integrated high-side and low-side
power MOSFETs, up to 150-mA of output current
can be delivered at fixed output voltages of 3.3 V
or 5 V or at an adjustable output. The converter is
designed to simplify implementation while providing
options to optimize the performance for the target
application. Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM) mode
is selected for optimal light-load efficiency or Constant
On-Time (COT) control for nearly constant operating
frequency. Both control schemes do not require loop
compensation while providing excellent line and load
transient response and short PWM on-time for large
step-down conversion ratios.

•
4–20 mA loop-powered sensors
Automotive and battery-powered equipment
High-voltage LDO replacement
Industrial control systems
General-purpose bias supplies
The high-side P-channel MOSFET can operate at
100% duty cycle for lowest dropout voltage and does
not require a bootstrap capacitor for gate drive. Also,
the current limit setpoint is adjustable to optimize
inductor selection for a particular output current
requirement. Selectable and adjustable start-up timing
options include minimum delay (no soft start),
internally fixed (900 µs), and externally programmable
soft start using a capacitor. An open-drain PGOOD
indicator can be used for sequencing, fault reporting,
and output voltage monitoring. The LM5165 buck
converter is available in a 10-pin, 3-mm × 3-mm,
thermally- enhanced VSON-10 package with 0.5-mm
pin pitch. The LM5165 and LM5165X is also available
in the VSSOP-10 package.

NAME
TYPE(1)
DESCRIPTION
1
SW
P
Switching node that is internally connected to the drain of the high-side PMOS buck switch and the
drain of the low-side NMOS synchronous rectifier. Connect to the switching side of the power inductor.
2
VIN
P
Regulator supply input pin to high-side power MOSFET and internal bias rail LDO. Connect to input
supply and input capacitor CIN. Path from VIN to the input capacitor must be as short as possible.
3
ILIM
I
Programming pin for current limit. Connecting the appropriate resistor from ILIM to GND selects one of
four preset current limit options. Short ILIM to GND for the maximum current setting.
4
SS
I
Programming pin for the soft-start time. If a 100-kΩ resistor is connected from SS to GND, the internal
soft-start circuit is disabled and the FB comparator reference steps immediately from zero to full value
when the regulator is enabled by the EN input. If the SS pin is left open, the internal soft-start circuit
ramps the FB reference from zero to full value in 900 µs. If an appropriate capacitance is connected to
the SS pin, the soft-start time can be programmed as required.
5
RT
I
Mode selection and on-time programming pin for Constant On-Time (COT) control. Short RT to GND to
select PFM (pulse frequency modulation) operation. Connect a resistor from RT to GND to program the
on-time, which sets the switching frequency for COT.
6
PGOOD
O
Power Good output flag pin. PGOOD is connected to the drain of an NFET that holds the pin low when
either FB or VOUT is below the regulation target. Use a pullup resistor of 10 kΩ to 100 kΩ to the
system voltage rail or VOUT (no higher than 12 V).
7
EN
I
Input pin of the precision enable / UVLO comparator. The converter is enabled when the EN voltage is
greater than 1.212 V.
8
VOUT/FB
I
Feedback input to voltage regulation loop. The VOUT pin connects the internal feedback resistor
divider to the regulator output voltage for fixed 3.3-V and 5-V options. The FB pin connects the internal
feedback comparator to an external resistor divider for the adjustable output voltage option. The FB
comparator reference voltage is nominally 1.223 V.
9
HYS
O
Drain of an internal NFET that is turned off when the EN input is greater than the EN threshold. An
external resistor from HYS to the EN pin UVLO resistor divider programs the input UVLO hysteresis
voltage.
10
GND
G
Regulator ground return
—
PAD
P
Exposed pad. Connect to the GND pin and system ground on PCB. Path to CIN must be as short as
possible.

All hot and cold 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 Section 6.4.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The LM5165 converter is an easy-to-use synchronous buck DC-DC regulator that operates from a 3-V to
65-V supply voltage. The device is intended for step-down conversions from 3.3-V, 5-V, 12-V, 24-V, and 48V unregulated, semi-regulated and fully-regulated supply rails. With integrated high-side and low-side power
MOSFETs, the LM5165 delivers up to 150-mA DC load current with high efficiency and ultra-low input quiescent
current in a very small solution size. Designed for simple implementation, a choice of operating modes offers
flexibility to optimize its usage according to the target application. In constant on-time (COT) mode of operation,
ideal for low-noise, high current, fast load transient requirements, the device operates with predictive on-time
switching pulse. A quasi-fixed switching frequency over the input voltage range is achieved by using an input
voltage feedforward to set the on-time. Alternatively, pulse frequency modulation (PFM) mode, complemented
by an adjustable peak current limit, achieves exceptional light-load efficiency performance. Control loop
compensation is not required with either operating mode, reducing design time and external component count.
The LM5165 incorporates other features for comprehensive system requirements, including an open-drain
Power Good circuit for power-rail sequencing and fault reporting, internally-fixed or externally-adjustable softstart, monotonic start-up into prebiased loads, precision enable with customizable hysteresis for programmable
line undervoltage lockout (UVLO), adjustable cycle-by-cycle current limit for optimal inductor sizing, and thermal
shutdown with automatic recovery. These features enable a flexible and easy-to-use platform for a wide range of
applications. The pin arrangement is designed for simple Layout, requiring only a few external components.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Integrated Power MOSFETs
The LM5165 is a step-down buck converter with integrated high-side PMOS buck switch and low-side NMOS
synchronous switch. During the high-side MOSFET on-time, the SW voltage VSW swings up to approximately
VIN, and the inductor current increases with slope (VIN – VOUT)/LF. When the high-side MOSFET is turned off
by the control logic, the low-side MOSFET turns on after an adaptive deadtime. Inductor current flows through
the low-side MOSFET with slope –VOUT/LF. Duty cycle D is defined as TON/TSW, where TON is the high-side
MOSFET conduction time and TSW is the switching period.

The LM5165 operates in PFM mode when RT is shorted to GND. Configured as such, the LM5165 behaves as
a hysteretic voltage regulator operating in boundary conduction mode, controlling the output voltage within upper
and lower hysteresis levels according to the PFM feedback comparator hysteresis of 10 mV. Figure 7-3 is a
representation of the relevant output voltage and inductor current waveforms. The LM5165 provides the required
switching pulses to recharge the output capacitor, followed by a sleep period where most of the internal circuits
are shut off. The load current is supported by the output capacitor during this time, and the LM5165 current
consumption approaches the sleep quiescent current of 10.5 µA. The sleep period duration depends on load
current and output capacitance.

Configured in COT mode, the LM5165 based converter turns on the high-side MOSFET with on-time inversely
proportional to VIN to operate with essentially fixed switching frequency when in continuous conduction mode
(CCM). Diode emulation mode (DEM) prevents negative inductor current, and pulse skipping maintains highest
efficiency at light load currents by decreasing the effective switching frequency. The COT-controlled LM5165
waveforms in CCM and DEM are represented in Figure 7-4. The PWM on-time is set by resistor RRT connected
from RT to GND as shown in Figure 7-2. The control loop maintains a constant output voltage by adjusting the
PWM off-time.

The choice of control mode and switching frequency requires a compromise between conversion efficiency,
quiescent current, and passive component size. Lower switching frequency implies reduced switching losses
(including gate charge losses, transition losses, and so forth) and higher overall efficiency. Higher switching
frequency, on the other hand, implies a smaller LC output filter and hence a more compact design. Lower
inductance also helps transient response as the large-signal slew rate of inductor current increases. The ideal
switching frequency in a given application is a tradeoff and thus is determined on a case-by-case basis. It relates
to the input voltage, output voltage, most frequent load current level(s), external component choices, and circuit
size requirement. At light loads, the PFM converter has a relatively longer sleep time interval and thus operates
with lower input quiescent current and higher efficiency.

SNVSA47D – FEBRUARY 2016 – REVISED DECEMBER 2022
7.3.3 COT Mode Light-Load Operation
Diode emulation mode (DEM) operation occurs when the low-side MOSFET switches off as inductor valley
current reaches zero. Here, the load current is less than half of the peak-to-peak inductor current ripple in
CCM. Turning off the low-side MOSFET at zero current reduces switching loss, and preventing negative current
conduction reduces conduction loss. Power conversion efficiency is thus higher in a DEM converter than an
equivalent forced-PWM CCM converter. With DEM operation, the duration that both power MOSFETs remain off
progressively increases as load current decreases.
7.3.4 Low Dropout Operation and 100% Duty Cycle Mode
If RDSON1 and RDSON2 are the high-side and low-side MOSFET on-state resistances, respectively, and RDCR is
the inductor DC resistance, the duty cycle in COT (CCM) or PFM mode is given by Equation 3.

The LM5165 offers a low input voltage to output voltage dropout by engaging the high-side MOSFET at 100%
duty cycle. In COT mode, a frequency foldback feature effectively extends maximum duty cycle to 100% during
low dropout conditions or load-on transients. Based on the 4-mV FB comparator dropout hysteresis, the duty
cycle extends as needed at low input voltage conditions, corresponding to lower switching frequency. The PWM
on-time extends based on the requirement that the FB voltage exceeds the dropout hysteresis during a given
on-time. 100% duty cycle operation is eventually reached as the input voltage decreases towards the output
setpoint. The output voltage stays in regulation at a lower supply voltage, thus achieving an extremely low
dropout voltage.
Note that PFM mode operation provides an inherently natural transition to 100% duty cycle if needed for low
dropout applications.
Use Equation 4 to calculate the minimum input voltage to maintain output regulation.

7.3.5 Adjustable Output Voltage (FB)
Three voltage feedback options are available: the fixed 3.3-V and 5-V versions include internal feedback
resistors that sense the output directly through the VOUT pin; the adjustable voltage option senses the output
through an external resistor divider connected from the output to the FB pin.
The LM5165 voltage regulation loop regulates the output voltage by maintaining the FB voltage equal to the
internal reference voltage, VREF1. A resistor divider programs the ratio from output voltage VOUT to FB. For a
target VOUT setpoint, calculate RFB2 based on the selected RFB1 using Equation 5.
RFB2
1.223V
˜ RFB1
VOUT 1.223V
(5)
Selecting RFB1 in the range of 100 kΩ to 1 MΩ is recommended for most applications. A larger RFB1 consumes
less DC current, which is mandatory if light-load efficiency is critical. However, RFB1 larger than 1 MΩ is not
recommended as the feedback path becomes more susceptible to noise. High feedback resistances generally
require more careful feedback path PCB layout. It is important to route the feedback trace away from the noisy
area of the PCB. For more layout recommendations, see Layout.
7.3.6 Adjustable Current Limit
The LM5165 manages overcurrent conditions by cycle-by-cycle current limiting of the peak inductor current. The
current sensed in the high-side MOSFET is compared every switching cycle to the current limit threshold set
by the ILIM pin. Current is sensed after a leading-edge blanking time following the high-side MOSFET turnon
transition. The propagation delay of current limit comparator is 100 ns.

SNVSA47D – FEBRUARY 2016 – REVISED DECEMBER 2022
Four programmable peak current levels are available: 60 mA, 120 mA, 180 mA and 240 mA, corresponding
to resistors of 100 kΩ, 56.2 kΩ, 24.9 kΩ and 0 Ω connected at the ILIM pin, respectively. In turn, 25-mA,
50-mA, 75-mA, and 100-mA output current levels in boundary conduction mode PFM operation are possible,
respectively.
Note that in PFM mode, the inductor current ramps from zero to the chosen peak threshold every switching
cycle. Consequently, the maximum output current is equal to half the peak inductor current. Meanwhile, the
corresponding output current capability in COT mode is higher as the ripple current is determined by the input
and output voltage and the chosen inductance.
7.3.7 Precision Enable (EN) and Hysteresis (HYS)
The precision EN input supports adjustable input undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with hysteresis programmed
independently through the HYS pin for application specific power-up and power-down requirements. EN
connects to a comparator-based input referenced to a 1.212-V bandgap voltage with 68-mV hysteresis. An
external logic signal can be used to drive the EN input to toggle the output on and off and for system sequencing
or protection. The simplest way to enable the LM5165 operation is to connect EN directly to VIN. This allows the
LM5165 to start up when VIN is within its valid operating range. However, many applications benefit from using
a resistor divider RUV1 and RUV2 as shown in Figure 7-5 to establish a precision UVLO level. In tandem with the
EN setting, use HYS to increase the voltage hysteresis as needed.

There is also a low IQ shutdown mode when EN is pulled below a base-emitter voltage drop (approximately 0.6
V at room temperature). If EN is below this hard shutdown threshold, the internal LDO regulator powers off and
the internal bias supply rail collapses, shutting down the bias currents of the LM5165. The LM5165 operates in
standby mode when the EN voltage is between the hard shutdown and precision enable thresholds.
7.3.8 Power Good (PGOOD)
The LM5165 provides a PGOOD flag pin to indicate when the output voltage is within the regulation level.
Use the PGOOD signal for start-up sequencing of downstream converters, as shown in Figure 7-6, or for fault
protection and output monitoring. PGOOD is an open-drain output that requires a pullup resistor to a DC supply
not greater than 12 V. Typical range of pullup resistance is 10 kΩ to 100 kΩ. If necessary, use a resistor divider
to decrease the voltage from a higher voltage pullup rail.

When the FB voltage exceeds 94% of the internal reference VREF1, the internal PGOOD switch turns off and
PGOOD can be pulled high by the external pullup. If the FB voltage falls below 87% of VREF1, the internal
PGOOD switch turns on, and PGOOD is pulled low to indicate that the output voltage is out of regulation. The
rising edge of PGOOD has a built-in deglitch delay of 5 µs.
7.3.9 Configurable Soft Start (SS)
The LM5165 has a flexible and easy-to-use soft-start control pin, SS. The soft-start feature prevents inrush
current impacting the LM5165 and the input supply when power is first applied. Soft start is achieved by
slowly ramping up the target regulation voltage when the device is first enabled or powered up. Selectable and
adjustable start-up timing options include minimum delay (no soft-start), 900-µs internally fixed soft start, and an
externally programmable soft start.
The simplest way to use the LM5165 is to leave the SS pin open. The LM5165 employs the internal soft-start
control ramp and starts up to the regulated output voltage in 900 µs. In applications with a large amount of
output capacitance, higher VOUT, or other special requirements, extend the soft-start time by connecting an
external capacitor CSS from SS to GND. Longer soft-start time further reduces the supply current needed to
charge the output capacitors and supply any output loading. An internal current source ISS of 10 µA charges
CSS and generates a ramp to control the ramp rate of the output voltage. Use Equation 8 to calculate the CSS
capacitance for a desired soft-start time tSS.
CSS ¬ªnF ¼º
8.1˜ t SS ¬ªms ¼º
(8)
CSS is discharged by an internal FET when VOUT is shutdown by EN, UVLO, or thermal shutdown.
It is desirable in some applications for the output voltage to reach its nominal setpoint in the shortest possible
time. Connecting a 100-kΩ resistor from SS to GND disables the soft-start circuit, and the LM5165 operates in
current limit during start-up to rapidly charge the output capacitance.
As negative inductor current is prevented, the LM5165 is capable of start-up into prebiased output conditions.
With a prebiased output voltage, the LM5165 waits until the soft-start ramp allows regulation above the
prebiased voltage and then follows the soft-start ramp to the regulation setpoint.
7.3.10 Thermal Shutdown
Thermal shutdown is an integrated self-protection to limit junction temperature and prevent damage related to
overheating. Thermal shutdown turns off the device when the junction temperature exceeds 170°C to prevent
further power dissipation and temperature rise. Junction temperature decreases after shutdown, and the LM5165
restarts when the junction temperature falls to 160°C.

7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Shutdown Mode
The EN pin provides ON and OFF control for the LM5165. When V EN is below approximately 0.6 V, the device is
in shutdown mode. Both the internal LDO and the switching regulator are off. The quiescent current in shutdown
mode drops to 4.6 µA at VIN = 12 V. The LM5165 also employs internal bias rail undervoltage protection. If the
internal bias supply voltage is below its UV threshold, the regulator remains off.
7.4.2 Standby Mode
The internal bias rail LDO has a lower enable threshold than the regulator itself. When VEN is above 0.6 V and
below the precision enable threshold (1.212 V typically), the internal LDO is on and regulating. The precision
enable circuitry is turned on once the internal VCC is above its UV threshold. The switching action and voltage
regulation are not enabled until VEN rises above the precision enable threshold.
7.4.3 Active Mode in COT
The LM5165 is in active mode when VEN is above the precision enable threshold and the internal bias rail is
above its UV threshold. In COT active mode, the LM5165 is in one of three modes depending on the load
current:
1. CCM with fixed switching frequency when load current is above half of the peak-to-peak inductor current
ripple;
2. Pulse skipping and diode emulation mode (DEM) when the load current is less than half of the peak-to-peak
inductor current ripple in CCM operation. Refer to COT More Light-Load Operation for more detail;
3. Frequency foldback mode to maintain output regulation at low dropout and for improved load-on transient
response. Refer to Low Dropout Operation and 100% Duty Cycle Mode for more detail.
7.4.4 Active Mode in PFM
Similarly, the LM5165 is in PFM active mode when VEN and the internal bias rail are above the relevant
thresholds, FB has fallen below the lower hysteresis level (VREF1), and boundary conduction mode is recharging
the output capacitor to the upper hysteresis level (VREF2). There is a 4-µs wake-up delay from sleep to active
states.
7.4.5 Sleep Mode in PFM
The LM5165 is in PFM sleep mode when VEN and the internal bias rail are above the relevant threshold levels,
VFB has exceeded the upper hysteresis level (VREF2), and the output capacitor is sourcing the load current. In
PFM sleep mode, the LM5165 operates with very low quiescent current.

8 Applications and Implementation
Note
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification,
and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for
determining suitability of components for their purposes, as well as validating and testing their design
implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
The LM5165 only requires a few external components to convert from a wide range of supply voltages to a
fixed output voltage. To expedite and streamline the process of designing of a LM5165-based converter, a
comprehensive LM5165 Quick-start design tool is available for download to assist the designer with component
selection for a given application. WEBENCH online software is also available to generate complete designs,
leveraging iterative design procedures and access to comprehensive component databases. The following
sections discuss the design procedure for both COT and PFM modes using specific circuit design examples.
As mentioned previously, the LM5165 also integrates several optional features to meet system design
requirements, including precision enable, UVLO, programmable soft start, programmable switching frequency
in COT mode, adjustable current limit, and PGOOD indicator. Each application incorporates these features as
needed for a more comprehensive design. The application circuits detailed below show LM5165 configuration
options suitable for several application use cases. Refer to the LM5165EVM-HD-C50X and LM5165EVM-HDP50A EVM user's guides for more detail.

8.2.1.2.2 Switching Frequency – RT
As mentioned, the switching frequency of a COT-configured LM5165 is set by the on-time programming resistor
at the RT pin. As shown by Equation 2, a standard 1% resistor of 133 kΩ gives a switching frequency of 230
kHz.
Note that at very low duty cycles, the minimum controllable on-time of the high-side MOSFET, TON(min), of 180
ns may affect choice of switching frequency. In CCM, TON(min) limits the voltage conversion step-down ratio for a
given switching frequency. The minimum controllable duty cycle is given by Equation 9:
DMIN
TON(min) ˜ FSW
(9)
Given a fixed TON(min), it follows that higher switching frequency implies a larger minimum controllable duty
cycle. Ultimately, the choice of switching frequency for a given output voltage affects the available input voltage
range, solution size and efficiency. The maximum supply voltage for a given TON(min) before switching frequency
reduction occurs is given by Equation 10.

Choosing a 220-µH inductor in this design results in 55-mA peak-to-peak ripple current at nominal input voltage
of 12 V, equivalent to 37% of the 150-mA rated load current. The peak inductor current at maximum input
voltage of 65 V is 195 mA, sufficiently below the LM5165 peak current limit of 240 mA.
The inductors selected for the following designs were meant for nominal operating conditions, and component
behavior can deviate from expected results in situations like over current. Check the inductor data sheet
to ensure that the inductor saturation current is well above the current limit setting of a particular design.
Ferrite designs have low core loss and are preferred at high switching frequencies, so design goals can then
concentrate on copper loss and preventing saturation. However, ferrite core materials exhibit a hard saturation
characteristic – the inductance collapses abruptly when the saturation current is exceeded. This results in
an abrupt increase in inductor ripple current, higher output voltage ripple, not to mention reduced efficiency
and compromised reliability. Note that inductor saturation current generally deceases as the core temperature
increases.
8.2.1.2.4 Output Capacitors – COUT
Select the output capacitor to limit the capacitive voltage ripple at the converter output. This is the sinusoidal
ripple voltage that arises from the triangular ripple current flowing in the capacitor. Select an output capacitance
using Equation 14 to limit the voltage ripple component to 0.5% of the output voltage.

8.2.1.2.5 Series Ripple Resistor – RESR

8.2.1.2.6 Input Capacitor – CIN
An input capacitor is necessary to limit the input ripple voltage while providing switching-frequency AC current to
the buck power stage. To minimize the parasitic inductance in the switching loop, position the input capacitors as
close as possible to the VIN and GND pins of the LM5165. 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, the peak-to-peak ripple
voltage amplitude is given by Equation 17.

The recommended high-frequency capacitance is 1 µF or higher and must be a high-quality ceramic type X5R
or X7R with sufficient voltage rating. Based on the voltage coefficient of ceramic capacitors, choose a voltage
rating of twice the maximum input voltage. Additionally, some bulk capacitance is required if the LM5165 circuit
is not located within approximately 5 cm from the input voltage source. This capacitor provides damping to the
resonance associated with parasitic inductance of the supply lines and high-Q ceramics.
8.2.1.2.7 Soft-Start Capacitor – CSS
Connect an external soft-start capacitor for a specific soft-start time. In this example, select a soft-start
capacitance of 47 nF based on Equation 8 to achieve a soft-start time of 6 ms.

8.2.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.2.2.1 Peak Current Limit Setting – RILIM
Install a 56.2-kΩ resistor from ILIM to GND to select a 120-mA peak current limit threshold setting to meet the
rated output current of 50 mA.
8.2.2.2.2 Switching Frequency – LF
Tie RT to GND to select PFM mode of operation. The inductor, input voltage, output voltage, and peak current
determine the pulse switching frequency of a PFM-configured LM5165. For a given input voltage, output voltage
and peak current, the inductance of LF sets the switching frequency when the output is in regulation. Use
Equation 19 to select an inductance of 47 µH based on the target PFM converter switching frequency of 350 kHz
at 12-V input.

IPK(PFM) in this example is the peak current limit setting of 120 mA plus an additional 10% margin added to
include the effect of the 100-ns peak current comparator delay. An additional constraint on the inductance is
the 180-ns minimum on-time of the high-side MOSFET. Therefore, to keep the inductor current well controlled,
choose an inductance that is larger than LF(min) using Equation 20 where VIN(max) is the maximum input supply
voltage for the application, tON(min) is 180 ns, and IL(max) is the maximum allowed peak inductor current.

Choose an inductor with saturation current rating above the peak current limit setting, and allow for derating of
the saturation current at the highest expected operating temperature.
8.2.2.2.3 Output Capacitor – COUT
The output capacitor, COUT, filters the inductor ripple current and stores energy to meet the load current
requirement when the LM5165 is in sleep mode. The output ripple has a base component of amplitude VOUT/123
related to the 10-mV typical feedback comparator hysteresis in PFM. The wakeup time from sleep to active
mode adds a ripple voltage component that is a function of the output current. Approximate the total output ripple
by Equation 21.

Also, the output capacitance must be large enough to accept the energy stored in the inductor without a large

In general, select the capacitance of COUT to limit the output voltage ripple at full load current, ensuring that it
is rated for worst-case RMS ripple current given by IRMS = IPK(PFM)/2. In this design example, choose a 10-µF,
6.3-V ceramic output capacitor with X7R dielectric and 0805 footprint.
8.2.2.2.4 Input Capacitor – CIN
The input capacitor, CIN, filters the high-side MOSFET triangular current waveform, see Figure 8-36. To prevent
large ripple voltage, use a low-ESR ceramic input capacitor sized for the worst-case RMS ripple current given by
IRMS = IOUT/2. In this design example, choose a 1-µF, 100-V ceramic input capacitor with X7S dielectric and 0805
footprint.

8.2.3.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The component selection procedure for this PFM design is quite similar to that of Design 2, see Figure 8-14.
8.2.3.2.1 Peak Current Limit Setting – RILIM
Install a 24.9-kΩ resistor from ILIM to GND to select the 180-mA peak current limit setting for a rated output
current of 75 mA.
8.2.3.2.2 Switching Frequency – LF
Tie RT to GND to select PFM mode of operation. Set the switching frequency by the filter inductance, LF.
Calculate an inductance of 47 µH based on the target PFM converter switching frequency of 500 kHz at 24-V
input using Equation 19. Use a peak current limit setting, IPK(PFM), of 180 mA plus an additional 50% margin in
this high-frequency design to include the effect of the 100-ns current limit comparator delay. Choose an inductor

with saturation current rating well above the peak current limit setting, and allow for derating of the saturation
current at the highest expected operating temperature.
8.2.3.2.3 Input and Output Capacitors – CIN, COUT
Choose a 1-µF, 100-V ceramic input capacitor with 0805 footprint. Such a capacitor is typically available in X5R
or X7S dielectric. Based on Equation 22, select a 10-µF, 16-V ceramic output capacitor with X7R dielectric and
0805 footprint.
8.2.3.2.4 Feedback Resistors – RFB1, RFB2
The output voltage of the LM5165 is externally adjustable using a resistor divider network. The divider network
comprises the upper feedback resistor RFB1 and lower feedback resistor RFB2. Select RFB1 of 1 MΩ to minimize
quiescent current and improve light-load efficiency in this application. With the desired output voltage setpoint
of 12 V and VFB = 1.223 V, calculate the resistance of RFB2 using Equation 5 as 113.5 kΩ. Choose the closest
available standard value of 113 kΩ for RFB2. Please refer to Adjustable Output Voltage (FB) for more detail.
8.2.3.2.5 Undervoltage Lockout Setpoint – RUV1, RUV2, RHYS
Adjust the undervoltage lockout (UVLO) using an externally-connected resistor divider network of RUV1, RUV2,
and RHYS. The UVLO has two thresholds, one for power up when the input voltage is rising and one for power
down or brownouts when the input voltage is falling. The EN rising threshold for the LM5165 is 1.212 V.
Rearranging Equation 6 and Equation 7, the expressions to calculate RUV2 and RHYS are as follows:
RUV2
RHYS
VEN(on)
VIN(on)
VEN(on)
VEN(off)
VIN(off)
VEN(off)
˜ RUV1
(23)
˜ RUV1 RUV2
(24)
Choose RUV1 as 10 MΩ to minimize input quiescent current. Given the desired input voltage UVLO thresholds of
16 V and 14.5 V, calculate the resistance of RUV2 and RHYS as 825 kΩ and 37.4 kΩ, respectively. See Section
7.3.7 for more detail.
8.2.3.2.6 Soft Start – CSS
Install a 22-nF capacitor from SS to GND for a soft-start time of 3 ms.

8.2.5.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.5.2.1 COT Output Ripple Voltage Reduction
Depending on the required ripple resistance when operating in COT mode, the resultant output voltage ripple
may be deemed too high for a given application. One option is to place a feedforward capacitor CFF in parallel
with the upper feedback resistor RFB1. Capacitor CFF increases the high-frequency gain from VOUT to VFB close
to unity such that the output voltage ripple couples directly to the FB node.

8.3 Power Supply Recommendations
The LM5165 is designed to operate from an input voltage supply range between 3 V and 65 V. This input supply
must be able to provide the maximum input current and maintain a voltage above 3 V. Ensure that the resistance
of the input supply rail is low enough that an input current transient does not cause a high enough drop at
the LM5165 supply rail to cause a false UVLO fault triggering and system reset. If the input supply is located

more than a few inches from the LM5165 converter, additional bulk capacitance may be required in addition
to the ceramic input capacitance. A 4.7-μF electrolytic capacitor is a typical choice for this function, whereby
the capacitor ESR provides a level of damping against input filter resonances. A typical ESR of 0.5 Ω provides
enough damping for most input circuit configurations.
8.4 Layout
The performance of any switching converter depends as much upon PCB layout as it does the component
selection. The following guidelines are provided to assist with designing a PCB with the best power conversion
performance, thermal performance, and minimized generation of unwanted EMI.
8.4.1 Layout Guidelines
PCB layout is a critical for good power supply design. There are several paths that conduct high slew-rate
currents or voltages that can interact with stray inductance or parasitic capacitance to generate noise and EMI or
degrade the power supply performance.
1. Bypass the VIN pin to GND with a low-ESR ceramic capacitor of X5R or X7R dielectric. Place CIN as close
as possible to the LM5165 VIN and GND pins. Ground return paths for both the input and output capacitors
must consist of localized top-side planes that connect to the GND pin and exposed PAD.
2. Minimize the loop area formed by the input capacitor connections and the VIN and GND pins.
3. Locate the power inductor close to the SW pin. Minimize the area of the SW trace or plane to prevent
excessive capacitive coupling.
4. Tie the GND pin directly to the power pad under the device and to a heat-sinking PCB ground plane.
5. Use a ground plane in one of the middle layers as a noise shielding and heat dissipation path.
6. Have a single-point ground connection to the plane. Route the ground connections for the feedback, softstart, and enable components to the ground plane. This prevents any switched or load currents from flowing
in analog ground traces. If not properly handled, poor grounding results in degraded load regulation or erratic
output voltage ripple behavior.
7. Make VIN, VOUT and ground bus connections as wide as possible. This reduces any voltage drops on the
input or output paths of the converter and maximizes efficiency.
8. Minimize trace length to the FB pin. Locate both feedback resistors close to the FB pin. Place CFF (if used)
directly in parallel with RFB1. Route the VOUT sense path away from noisy nodes and preferably on a layer at
the other side of a shielding layer.
9. Locate the components at RT and SS as close as possible to the device. Route with minimal trace lengths.
10. Provide adequate heatsinking for the LM5165 to keep the junction temperature below 150°C. For operation
at full rated load, the top-side ground plane is an important heat-dissipating area. Use an array of heatsinking vias to connect the exposed PAD to the PCB ground plane. If the PCB has multiple copper layers,
connect these thermal vias to inner-layer ground planes.
8.4.1.1 Compact PCB Layout for EMI Reduction
Radiated EMI generated by high di/dt components relates to pulsing currents in switching converters. The larger
area covered by the path of a pulsing current, the more electromagnetic emission is generated. The key to
minimize radiated EMI is to identify the pulsing current path and minimize the area of that path.
The critical switching loop of the power stage in terms of EMI is denoted in Figure 8-36. The topological
architecture of a buck converter means that a particularly high di/dt current effective path exists in the loop
comprising the input capacitor and the LM5165 integrated MOSFETs, and it becomes mandatory to reduce the
parasitic inductance of this loop by minimizing the effective loop area.

The input capacitor provides the primary path for the high di/dt components of the high-side MOSFET current.
Placing a ceramic capacitor as close as possible to the VIN and GND pins is the key to EMI reduction. Keep the
trace connecting SW to the inductor as short as possible and just wide enough to carry the load current without
excessive heating. Use short, thick traces or copper pours (shapes) for current conduction path to minimize
parasitic resistance. Place the output capacitor close to the VOUT side of the inductor, and connect the capacitor
return terminal to the LM5165 GND pin and exposed PAD.
8.4.1.2 Feedback Resistor Layout
For the adjustable output voltage version of the LM5165, reduce noise sensitivity of the output voltage feedback
path by placing the resistor divider close to the FB pin, rather than close to the load. This reduces the trace
length of FB signal and noise coupling. The FB pin is the input to the feedback comparator and, as such, is a
high impedance node sensitive to noise. The output node is a low impedance node, so the trace from VOUT to
the resistor divider can be long if a short path is not available.
Route the voltage sense trace from the load to the feedback resistor divider away from the SW node path, the
inductor and VIN path to avoid contaminating the feedback signal with switch noise, while also minimizing the
trace length. This is most important when high feedback resistances, greater than 100 kΩ, are used to set the
output voltage. Also, route the voltage sense trace on a different layer from the inductor, SW node and VIN path,
such that there is a ground plane that separates the feedback trace from the inductor and SW node copper
polygon. This provides further shielding for the voltage feedback path from switching noise sources.

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.
