LM5166
SNVSA67B – DECEMBER 2016 – REVISED JUNE 2017
LM5166 3-V to 65-V Input, 500-mA Synchronous Buck Converter With Ultra-Low IQ
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
•
•
•
•
The LM5166 is a compact, easy-to-use, 3-V 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 500 mA of output current can be
delivered at fixed output voltages of 3.3 V or 5 V, or
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.

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 load 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 LM5166 is
available in a 10-pin VSON package with 0.5-mm pin
pitch.

DESCRIPTION
1
SW
P
Switching node that is internally connected to the drain of the PFET buck switch (high side) and the
drain of the NFET synchronous rectifier (low side). Connect to the buck inductor.
2
VIN
P
Regulator supply input pin to high-side power MOSFET and internal bias rail LDO. Connect to input
supply and input filter capacitor CIN. The path from the VIN pin to the input capacitor must be as short as
possible.
3
ILIM
I
Programming pin for current limit. Connecting the appropriate resistance from the ILIM pin to GND
selects one of the three current limit options. The available current limit options are detailed in Table 3.
4
SS
I
Programming pin for the soft-start delay. If a 100-kΩ resistor is connected from the SS pin 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 a capacitor is connected from the SS
pin to GND, the soft-start time can be set longer than 900 µs.
5
RT
I
Mode select and on-time programming pin for Constant On-Time control. Connect a resistor from the RT
pin to GND to program the on-time and hence switching frequency. Short RT to GND to select PFM
(pulse frequency modulation) operation.
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 not in regulation. Use a 10-kΩ to 100-kΩ pullup resistor to system voltage rail or
VOUT (no higher than 12 V).
7
EN
I
Input pin of the precision enable / UVLO comparator. The regulator is enabled when the EN pin voltage
is greater than 1.22 V.
8
VOUT or FB
I
Feedback input to the voltage regulation loop for the LM5166 Adjustable Output version, or a VOUT pin
connects the internal feedback resistor divider to the regulator output voltage for the fixed 3.3-V or 5-V
options. The FB pin connects the internal feedback comparator to an external resistor divider for the
adjustable voltage option, and the reference for the FB pin comparator is 1.223 V.
9
HYS
O
Drain of internal NFET that is turned off when the EN input is greater than the EN pin threshold. External
resistors from HYS to EN and GND program the input UVLO threshold and hysteresis.
10
GND
G
Regulator ground return.
—
PAD
P
Connect to 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 • θJA) where θJA (in °C/W) is the package thermal impedance provided in Thermal Information.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The LM5166 regulator is an easy-to-use synchronous buck DC-DC converter that operates from a supply voltage
ranging from 3 V to 65 V. The device is intended for step-down conversions from 5-V, 12-V, 24-V, and 48-V
unregulated, semi-regulated, and fully-regulated supply rails. With integrated high-side and low-side power
MOSFETs, the LM5166 delivers up to 500-mA DC load current with exceptional 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. Fixed-frequency, constant on-time (COT)
operation with discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) at light loads is ideal for low-noise, high current, fast
transient load requirements. Alternatively, pulse frequency modulation (PFM) mode, complemented by an
adjustable current limit, achieves ultra-high light-load efficiency performance. Control loop compensation is not
required with either operating mode, which reduces design time and external component count.
The LM5166 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 soft start,
monotonic start-up into prebiased loads, precision enable with customizable hysteresis for programmable line
undervoltage lockout (UVLO), 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 and
optimized PCB Layout, requiring only a few external components.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Integrated Power MOSFETs
The LM5166 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 a fixed dead time. 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.
7.3.2 Selectable PFM or COT Mode Converter Operation
Depending on how the RT pin is connected, the LM5166 operates in PFM or COT mode. With the RT pin tied to
GND, the device operates in PFM mode. An RRT resistor connected between the RT and GND pins enables COT
control and sets the desired switching frequency as defined by Equation 4. Figure 39 and Figure 40 show
converter schematics for PFM and COT modes of operation.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.2.1 PFM Mode Operation
In PFM mode, the LM5166 behaves as a hysteretic voltage regulator operating in boundary conduction mode.
The output voltage is regulated between upper and lower threshold levels according to the PFM feedback
comparator hysteresis of 10 mV. Figure 41 shows the relevant output voltage and inductor current waveforms.
The LM5166 provides the required switching pulses to recharge the output capacitor to the upper threshold,
followed by a sleep period where most of the internal circuits are disabled. The load current is supported by the
output capacitor during this time, and the LM5166 current consumption reduces to 9.7 µA. The sleep period
duration depends on load current and output capacitance.

One of the supported ILIM settings enables a function that modulates the peak current threshold levels during
the first three switching cycles of each active period as illustrated in Figure 42. This function improves efficiency
under most application conditions at the expense of slightly degraded load transient response.

Figure 42. PFM Mode With Modulated ILIM, Output Voltage and Inductor Current Representative
Waveforms
As expected, the choice of mode and switching frequency represents 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 smaller LC output filter and hence, a more compact design.
Lower inductance also helps transient response and reduces the inductor DCR conduction loss. 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
at lower input quiescent current levels.
7.3.2.2 COT Mode Operation
In COT mode, the LM5166-based converter turns on the high-side MOSFET with constant on-time that adapts to
VIN, as defined by Equation 2, to operate with nearly fixed switching frequency when in continuous conduction
mode (CCM). The high-side MOSFET turns on when the feedback voltage (VFB) falls below the reference
voltage. The regulator control loop maintains a constant output voltage by adjusting the PWM off-time as defined
with Equation 3. For stable operation, the feedback voltage must decrease monotonically in phase with the
inductor current during the off-time as explained in Ripple Generation Methods.

Diode emulation mode (DEM) prevents negative inductor current, and pulse skipping maintains high efficiency at

7.3.2.2.1 Ripple Generation Methods
In the Constant-On-Time (COT) control scheme, the on-time is terminated by a one-shot, and the off-time is
terminated by the feedback voltage (VFB) falling below the reference voltage (VFB1). Therefore, for stable
operation, the feedback voltage must decrease monotonically in phase with the inductor current during the offtime. Furthermore, this change in feedback voltage (VFB) during the off-time must be large enough to dominate
any noise present at the feedback node.

Table 2 presents three different methods for generating appropriate voltage ripple at the feedback node. Type 1
ripple generation method uses a single resistor, designated RESR, in series with the output capacitor. The
generated voltage ripple has two components:
• Capacitive ripple caused by the inductor ripple current charging and discharging the output capacitor.
• Resistive ripple caused by the inductor ripple current flowing in the output capacitor ESR and series
resistance RESR.

The capacitive ripple component is out of phase with the inductor current. As a result, the capacitive ripple does
not decrease monotonically during the off-time. The resistive ripple component is in phase with the inductor
current and decreases monotonically during the off-time. The resistive ripple must exceed the capacitive ripple at
the output (VOUT) for stable operation. If this condition is not satisfied, unstable switching behavior is observed in
COT converters, with multiple on-time bursts in close succession followed by a long off-time. Equation 5 and
Equation 6 define the value of the RESR resistor that ensures the required amplitude and phase of the ripple at
the feedback node.
Type-2 ripple generation method uses a CFF capacitor in addition to the RESR resistor. As the output voltage
ripple is directly AC-coupled by CFF to the feedback node, the RESR value and ultimately the output voltage ripple
are reduced by a factor of VOUT / VFB1.
Type-3 ripple generation method uses an RC network consisting of RA and CA, and the switch node (SW) voltage
to generate a triangular ramp. This triangular ramp is then AC-coupled into the feedback node (FB) with
capacitor CB. Because this circuit does not use the output voltage ripple, it is suited for applications where low
output voltage ripple is critical. Application note AN-1481 Controlling Output Ripple & Achieving ESR
Independence in Constant On-Time Regulator Designs provides additional details on this topic.
7.3.2.2.2 COT Mode Light-Load Operation
Diode emulation mode (DEM) operation occurs when the low-side MOSFET switches off as the 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. In DEM, the duration that both high-side and low-side MOSFETs remain off
progressively increases as load current decreases.
7.3.3 Low Dropout Operation and 100% Duty Cycle Mode
Using RDSON1 and RDSON2 for the high-side and low-side MOSFET on-state resistances, respectively, and RDCR
for the inductor DC resistance, the duty cycle in COT (CCM) or PFM mode is given by Equation 13.

The LM5166 provides a low input voltage to output voltage dropout by engaging the high-side MOSFET at 100%
duty cycle. In COT operation, the extended on-time mode seamlessly increases the duty cycle during low
dropout conditions or load-step transients. The buck switch on-time extends based on the requirement that the
FB voltage exceeds the internal 4-mV FB comparator hysteresis during any COT mode on-time. The on-time
(and duty cycle) are extended as needed at low input voltage conditions until the FB voltage reaches the upper
threshold. 100% duty cycle operation is eventually reached as the input voltage decreases to a level near the
output voltage setpoint. Very low dropout voltages can be achieved with 100% duty cycle and a low DCR
inductor.
Note that PFM mode operation provides a natural transition to 100% duty cycle if needed during low input
voltage conditions. If the input-to-output voltage difference is very low, the inductor current increases to a level
determined by the load and may not reach the peak current threshold required to turn off the buck switch.
Use Equation 14 to calculate the minimum input voltage to maintain output regulation at 100% duty cycle.

7.3.4 Adjustable Output Voltage (FB)
Three voltage feedback settings are available. The fixed 3.3-V and 5-V versions include internal feedback
resistors that sense the output directly through the VOUT pin, and the adjustable voltage option senses the
output through an external resistor divider connected from the output to the FB pin.
The LM5166 voltage regulation loop regulates the output voltage by maintaining the FB voltage equal to the
internal reference voltage (VFB1). A resistor divider programs the ratio from output voltage VOUT to FB. For a
target VOUT setpoint, calculate RFB2 based on the selected RFB1 by Equation 15.

RFB1 in the range of 100 kΩ to 1 MΩ is recommended for most applications. A larger RFB1 consumes less DC
current, which is necessary if light-load efficiency is critical. However, RFB1 larger than 1 MΩ is not recommended
as the feedback path becomes more susceptible to noise. Larger 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 PCB layout recommendations, see Layout.
7.3.5 Adjustable Current Limit
The LM5166 protects the system from overload conditions using cycle-by-cycle current limiting of the peak
inductor current. The current sensed in the high-side MOSFET is compared to the current limit threshold set by
the ILIM pin (see Table 3). Current is sensed after a 120-ns leading-edge blanking time following the high-side
MOSFET turnon. The propagation delay of the current limit comparator is 80 ns, typical.

For this current limit threshold selection, the ILIM pin may also be left open instead of using a 100-kΩ
or greater resistor.
This ILIM setting enables a function that modulates the ILIM levels during the first three switching cycles
as illustrated in Figure 42.
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. The output current
capability in COT mode is higher and equal to the peak current threshold minus one-half the inductor ripple
current. The ripple current is determined by the input and output voltages and the chosen inductance and
switching frequency.
7.3.6 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 the input of a comparator with 76-mV hysteresis. The reference input of the comparator is connected to a
1.22-V bandgap reference. An external logic signal can be used to drive EN input to toggle the output on and off
for system sequencing or protection. The simplest way to enable operation is to connect EN directly to VIN. This
allows self-start-up of the LM5166 when VIN is within its valid operating range.

However, many applications benefit from using a resistor divider RUV1 and RUV2 as shown in Figure 44 to
establish a precision UVLO level. Adding RHYS and the connection to the HYS pin increases the voltage
hysteresis as needed.

The LM5166 enters a low IQ shutdown mode when EN is pulled below an NPN transistor 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, turning off the bias currents of the LM5166.
7.3.7 Power Good (PGOOD)
The LM5166 has a built-in PGOOD flag to indicate whether the output voltage is within a regulation window. The
PGOOD signal can be used for start-up sequencing of downstream converters, as shown in Figure 45, or fault
protection. PGOOD is an open-drain output that requires a pullup resistor to a DC supply (12 V maximum).
Typical range of pullup resistance is 10 kΩ to 100 kΩ. If necessary, use a resistor divider to decrease the
PGOOD pin voltage from a higher pullup rail.

When the FB voltage exceeds 94% of the internal reference VFB1, the PGOOD switch turns off and PGOOD will
be pulled high. If the FB voltage falls below 87% of VFB1, the PGOOD switch turns on, and PGOOD pulls low to
indicate power bad. The rising edge of PGOOD has a built-in noise filter delay of 5 µs.
7.3.8 Configurable Soft Start (SS)
The LM5166 has a flexible and easy-to-use start-up control through the SS pin. A soft-start feature prevents
inrush current impacting the LM5166 and its supply when power is first applied. Soft start is achieved by slowly
ramping up the target regulation voltage when the device is enabled or powered up. Selectable and adjustable
soft-start timing options include minimum delay (no soft-start), 900-µs internally fixed soft-start, and an externallyadjustable soft start.
The simplest way to use the LM5166 is to leave the SS pin open circuit for a 900-µs soft-start time. The LM5166
will employ the internal soft-start control ramp and start-up to the regulated output voltage. In applications with a
large amount of output capacitors, 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. An internal current source (ISS = 10 µA) charges CSS and generates a
ramp to control the ramp rate of the output voltage. For a desired soft-start time tSS, the CSS capacitance is:

CSS is discharged by an internal 80-Ω 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 of the LM5166, and the
LM5166 operates in current limit during start-up to rapidly charge the output capacitance.
Diode emulation mode (DEM) of the LM5166 prevents negative inductor current enabling monotonic start-up
under prebiased output conditions. With a prebiased output voltage, the LM5166 waits until the soft-start ramp
allows regulation above the prebiased voltage and then follows the soft-start ramp to the regulation setpoint as
shown in Figure 46 and Figure 47.

The LM5166 features a clamping circuit that clamps the SS voltage about 175 mV above the FB voltage (see

capacitor is connected.

In case of an overload event such as an output short circuit, the clamping circuit discharges the soft-start
capacitor. When the short is removed, the FB voltage quickly rises until it reaches the level of the SS pin. Then,
the recovery continues under the soft-start capacitor control. Figure 50 and Figure 51 show short-circuit entry
and recovery waveforms.

7.3.10 Thermal Shutdown
Thermal shutdown is a built-in 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 typically to
prevent further power dissipation and temperature rise. Junction temperature decreases during thermal
shutdown, and the LM5166 restarts when the junction temperature falls to 160°C.

7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Shutdown Mode
The EN pin provides ON / OFF control for the LM5166. When VEN is below 0.3 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 µA (typical) at VIN = 12 V. The LM5166 also includes undervoltage protection of the internal bias LDO. If the
internal bias supply voltage is below the UV threshold level, the switching regulator remains off.
7.4.2 Standby Mode
The internal bias LDO has a lower enable threshold than the switching regulator. When VEN is above 0.6 V and
below the precision enable threshold (1.22 V typically), the internal LDO is on and regulating. The precision
enable circuitry is turned on if the LDO output is above the bias rail UV threshold. The switching action and
output voltage regulation are disabled in the standby mode.
7.4.3 Active Mode – COT
The LM5166 is in active mode when VEN is above the precision enable threshold and the internal bias rail is
above its UV threshold level. In COT active mode, the LM5166 operates in one of three modes depending on the
load current:
1. CCM with fixed switching frequency when the load current is more than half of the peak-to-peak inductor
current ripple;
2. Pulse skipping and diode emulation mode when load current is less than half of the peak-to-peak inductor
current ripple of CCM operation;
3. Extended on-time mode when VIN is nearly equal to VOUT (dropout) and during load step transients.
7.4.4 Sleep Mode – COT
The LM5166 is in COT sleep mode when VEN and VIN are above their relevant threshold levels, FB has
exceeded its upper hysteresis level, and the output capacitor is sourcing the load current. In COT sleep mode,
the LM5166 operates with very low quiescent current (9.7 µA typical). There is a 2-µs wake-up delay from sleep
to active modes.
7.4.5 Active Mode – PFM
The LM5166 is in PFM active mode when VEN and VIN are above their relevant thresholds, FB has fallen below
the lower hysteresis level, and boundary conduction mode switching is recharging the output capacitor to the
upper hysteresis level.
7.4.6 Sleep Mode – PFM
The LM5166 is in PFM sleep mode when VEN and VIN are above their relevant threshold levels, FB has
exceeded the upper hysteresis level, and the output capacitor is sourcing the load current. In PFM sleep mode,
the LM5166 operates with very low quiescent current (9.7 µA typical). There is a 2-µs wake-up delay from sleep
to active modes.

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. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
The LM5166 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 a LM5166-based converter, a
comprehensive LM5166 Quickstart Calculator 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 converters using specific circuit design examples.
The LM5166 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 LM5166 configuration options suitable for several application
use cases. Please see the LM5166EVM-C50A and LM5166EVM-C33A EVM user's guides for more detail.

8.2.1.2.2 Feedback Resistors – RFB1, RFB2
While the 5-V fixed output version of the LM5166 is suitable here, the adjustable version is chosen to provide the
user with the option to trim or margin the output voltage if needed. The feedback resistor divider network
comprises the upper feedback resistor RFB1 and lower feedback resistor RFB2. Select RFB1 of 309 kΩ to minimize
quiescent current and improve light-load efficiency in this application. With the desired output voltage setpoint of
5 V and VFB = 1.223 V, calculate the resistance of RFB2 using Equation 15 as 100.1 kΩ. Choose the closest
available standard value of 100 kΩ for RFB2. See Adjustable Output Voltage (FB) for more details.
8.2.1.2.3 Switching Frequency – RT
The switching frequency of a COT-configured LM5166 is set by the on-time programming resistor at the RT pin.
Using Equation 4, a standard 1% resistor of 309 kΩ gives a switching frequency of 92 kHz. Including the inductor
RDCR and RDSON2 in the calculation of tOFF (Equation 3) gives an adjusted FSW of 101 kHz at 500 mA. The
LM5166 Quickstart Calculator estimates and plots the switching frequency as a function of load current.
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 19.

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 20.

Choosing a 150-μH inductor in this design results in 295-mA peak-to-peak ripple current at nominal input voltage
of 24 V, equivalent to 59% of the 500-mA rated load current. The peak inductor current at maximum input voltage
of 65 V is 675 mA, which is sufficiently below the LM5166 peak current limit of 750 mA.
Check the inductor datasheet 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 decreases
as the core temperature increases.
8.2.1.2.5 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 24 to limit the capacitive voltage ripple component to 0.5% of the output voltage.

coefficient of ceramic capacitors, select a 47-μF, 10-V capacitor with a high-quality dielectric.
8.2.1.2.6 Ripple Generation Network – RESR, CFF
For this design, the Type 2 ripple generation method is selected as it offers a good balance between cost and
output voltage ripple. For other methods, see Ripple Generation Methods.
Select a series resistor, RESR, such that sufficient ripple in phase with the inductor current ripple appears at the
feedback node, FB, using Equation 7 and Equation 8. Select a feedforward capacitor, CFF, using Equation 9.

8.2.1.2.7 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 LM5166. The input capacitors conduct a trapezoidal-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
input ripple voltage amplitude is given by Equation 26.

The recommended high-frequency input capacitance is 2.2 μF or higher and should be a high-quality ceramic
component 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 LM5166
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.

capacitance of 33 nF based on Equation 18 to achieve a soft-start time of 4 ms.

8.2.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.2.2.1 Feedback Resistors – RFB1, RFB2
The output voltage of the LM5166 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 169 kΩ to minimize
quiescent current and improve light-load efficiency in this application. With the desired output voltage setpoint of
3.3 V and VFB = 1.223 V, calculate the resistance of RFB2 using Equation 15 as 100.1 kΩ. Choose the closest
available standard value of 100 kΩ for RFB2. See Adjustable Output Voltage (FB) for more detail.

8.2.2.2.2 Switching Frequency – RT
The switching frequency of a COT-configured LM5166 is set by the on-time programming resistor at the RT pin.
Using Equation 4, a standard 1% resistor of 100 kΩ gives a switching frequency of 190 kHz. Including the
inductor RDCR and RDSON2 in the calculation of tOFF (Equation 3) gives an adjusted FSW of 215 kHz at 500 mA.
The LM5166 Quick-Start Design Tool estimates and plots the switching frequency as a function of load current.
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 19.
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 20.
8.2.2.2.3 Filter Inductance – LF
The inductor ripple current (assuming CCM operation) and peak inductor current are given respectively by
Equation 21 and Equation 22. For most applications, choose an inductance such that the inductor ripple current,
ΔIL, is between 30% and 60% of the rated load current at nominal input voltage. Calculate the inductance using
Equation 23.
Choosing a 47-μH inductor in this design results in 275-mA peak-to-peak ripple current at nominal input voltage
of 12 V, equivalent to 55% of the 500-mA rated load current. The peak inductor current at maximum input voltage
of 65 V is 694 mA, which is sufficiently below the LM5166 peak current limit of 750 mA.
8.2.2.2.4 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 24 to limit the capacitive voltage ripple component to 0.5% of the output voltage.
Substituting ΔIL(nom) of 275 mA and ΔVOUT of 25 mV gives COUT greater than 11 μF. Mindful of the voltage
coefficient of ceramic capacitors, select a 47-μF, 10-V capacitor with a high-quality dielectric.
8.2.2.2.5 Ripple Generation Network – RESR
For this design, the Type 1 ripple generation method is selected as it only requires a single external component.
For other schemes, see Ripple Generation Methods.
Select a series resistor, RESR, using Equation 5 and Equation 6 such that sufficient ripple in phase with the SW
node voltage appears at the feedback node, FB. With ΔIL(nom) of 275 mA at the nominal input voltage of 12 V, the
required RESR is 0.2 Ω. Calculate the total output voltage ripple in CCM using Equation 25.
8.2.2.2.6 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 LM5166. The input capacitors conduct a trapezoidal-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
input ripple voltage amplitude is given by Equation 26. The input capacitance required for a particular load
current, based on an input voltage ripple specification of ΔVIN, is given by Equation 27.
The recommended high-frequency capacitance is 2.2 μF or higher and should be a high-quality ceramic 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 LM5166 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.
8.2.2.2.7 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 18 to achieve a soft-start time of 6 ms.

Install a 56.2-kΩ resistor from ILIM to GND to select a 750-mA peak current limit threshold setting to meet the
rated output current of 300 mA in PFM. See Adjustable Current Limit for more detail.
8.2.3.2.2 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 LM5166. 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 28 to select an inductance of 4.7 μH based on the target PFM converter switching frequency of 600
kHz at 24-V input.

IPK(PFM) in this example is the peak current limit setting of 750 mA plus the inductor current overshoot resulting
from the 80-ns peak current comparator delay, tILIM_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 29 where VIN(max) is the maximum input supply voltage for the
application, tILIM_delay is 80 ns, tON(min) is 180 ns, the maximum current limit threshold, ILIM(max), is 825 mA, and the
maximum allowed peak inductor current, IL(max), is 1.6 A.

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.
8.2.3.2.3 Output Capacitors – COUT
The output capacitor, COUT, filters the inductor’s ripple current and stores energy to meet the load current
requirement when the LM5166 is in sleep mode. The output ripple has a base component of amplitude VOUT/123
related to the typical feedback comparator hysteresis in PFM. The wake-up 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 30.

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

capacitor with a high-quality dielectric.
8.2.3.2.4 Input Capacitor – CIN
The input capacitor, CIN, filters the triangular current waveform of the high-side MOSFET (see Figure 89). 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 2.2-μF, 50-V ceramic input capacitor with a high-quality
dielectric.

8.2.4.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.4.2.1 Feedback Resistors – RFB1, RFB2
The output voltage of the LM5166 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 309 kΩ to minimize
quiescent current and improve light-load efficiency in this application. With the desired output voltage setpoint of
5 V and VFB = 1.223 V, calculate the resistance of RFB2 using Equation 15 as 99.5 kΩ. Choose the closest
available standard value of 100 kΩ for RFB2. See Adjustable Output Voltage (FB) for more detail.
8.2.4.2.2 Peak Current Limit Setting – RILIM
Install a 24.9-kΩ resistor from ILIM to GND to select a 1.25-A peak current limit threshold setting with modulated
ILIM function to meet the rated output current of 500 mA and the efficiency target. See Adjustable Current Limit
for more detail.

8.2.4.2.3 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 LM5166. 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 28 to select an inductance of 22 μH based on the target PFM converter switching frequency of 100 kHz
at 12-V input.
IPK(PFM) in this example is the peak current limit setting of 1.25 A plus the inductor current overshoot resulting
from the 80-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 29.
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.
8.2.4.2.4 Output Capacitors – COUT
The output capacitor, COUT, filters the ripple current of the inductor and stores energy to meet the load current
requirement when the LM5166 is in sleep mode. The output ripple has a base component of amplitude VOUT/123
related to the typical feedback comparator hysteresis in PFM. The wake-up 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 30.
Also, the output capacitance must be large enough to accept the energy stored in the inductor without a large
deviation in output voltage. Setting this voltage change equal to 1% of the output voltage results in a COUT
requirement defined with Equation 31.
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, select two 100-μF, 10V capacitors with a high-quality dielectric.
8.2.4.2.5 Input Capacitor – CIN
The input capacitor, CIN, filters the triangular current waveform of the high-side MOSFET (see Figure 89). 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 4.7-μF, 50-V ceramic input capacitor with a high-quality
dielectric.

8.2.5.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The component selection procedure for this design is quite similar to that of COT designs 1 and 2.
8.2.5.2.1 Peak Current Limit Setting – RILIM
Leave the ILIM pin open circuit to select the 500-mA peak current limit setting for a rated output current of 300
mA. See Table 3.
8.2.5.2.2 Switching Frequency – RRT
Using Equation 4, select a standard 1% resistor value of 169 kΩ to set a switching frequency of 400 kHz.
8.2.5.2.3 Inductor – LF
Choosing a 100-μH inductor in this design results in 150-mA peak-to-peak ripple current at an input voltage of 24
V, equivalent to 50% of the 300-mA rated load current. A larger ripple current design results in improved lightload efficiency. The peak inductor current at maximum input voltage of 65 V is 424 mA, which is sufficiently
below the LM5166 peak current limit of 500 mA. Select 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.
8.2.5.2.4 Input and Output Capacitors – CIN, COUT
Choose a 4.7-µF, 80-V or 100-V ceramic input capacitor with 1210 footprint. Such a capacitor is typically
available in X7S or X7R dielectric. Based on Equation 24, select a 10-µF, 25-V ceramic output capacitor with
X7R dielectric and 1206 footprint.
8.2.5.2.5 Feedback Resistors – RFB1, 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 15 as
113.5 kΩ. Choose the closest available standard value of 113 kΩ for RFB2. See Adjustable Output Voltage (FB)
for more detail.
8.2.5.2.6 Ripple Generation Network – RA, CA, CB
Select the ripple injection circuit components RA and CA values using Equation 10 and Equation 11. Choose
capacitor CB using Equation 12 based on a target transient response settling time of 300 µs.
8.2.5.2.7 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 LM5166 is 1.22 V.
Rearranging Equation 16 and Equation 17, the expressions to calculate RUV2 and RHYS are as follows:
VEN(on)
RUV2
˜ RUV1
VIN(on) VEN(on)
RHYS
VEN(off)
VIN(off)
VEN(off)
(32)
˜ RUV1 RUV2
(33)
Choose RUV1 as 10 MΩ to minimize input quiescent current. Given the desired input voltage UVLO thresholds of
20 V and 18 V, calculate the resistance of RUV2 and RHYS as 649 kΩ and 14 kΩ, respectively. See Precision
Enable (EN) and Hysteresis (HYS) for more detail.
8.2.5.2.8 Soft Start – CSS
Install a 47-nF capacitor from SS to GND for a soft-start time of 6 ms.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The LM5166 is designed to operate from an input voltage supply range between 3 V and 65 V. This input supply
should be able to withstand the maximum input current and maintain a voltage above 3 V. Ensure that the
impedance of the input supply rail is low enough that an input current transient does not cause a high enough
drop at the LM5166 supply voltage to create a false UVLO fault triggering and system reset. If the input supply is
placed more than a few inches from the LM5166 converter, additional bulk capacitance may be required in
addition to the ceramic bypass capacitors. A 10-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.
10 Layout
The performance of any switching converter depends as much upon PCB layout as it does the component
selection. The following guidelines are provided to assist with designing a PCB with the best power conversion
performance, thermal performance, and minimized generation of unwanted EMI.
10.1 Layout Guidelines
PCB layout is a critical portion of 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. To help eliminate these problems, bypass the VIN pin to GND with a low-ESR ceramic bypass capacitor with
a high-quality dielectric. Place CIN as close as possible to the LM5166 VIN and GND pins. Grounding for
both the input and output capacitors should consist of localized top-side planes that connect to the GND pin
and GND PAD.
2. Minimize the loop area formed by the input capacitor connections to the VIN and GND pins.
3. Locate the 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 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. Place both feedback resistors, RFB1 and RFB2, close to the FB pin. Place
CFF (if needed) directly in parallel with RFB1. If output setpoint accuracy at the load is important, connect the
VOUT sense at the load. Route the VOUT sense path away from noisy nodes and preferably through a layer on
the other side of a shielding layer.
9. The RT pin is sensitive to noise. Thus, locate the RRT resistor as close as possible to the device and route
with minimal lengths of trace. The parasitic capacitance from RT to GND must not exceed 20 pF.
10. Provide adequate heat sinking for the LM5166 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,
these thermal vias must also be connected to inner layer heat-spreading ground planes.
10.1.1 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
minimizing radiated EMI is to identify the pulsing current path and minimize the area of that path.
The critical switching loop of the buck converter power stage in terms of EMI is denoted in Figure 89. The
topological architecture of a buck converter means that a particularly high di/dt current path exists in the loop
comprising the input capacitor and the integrated MOSFETs of the LM5166, 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's 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's
return terminal to the GND pin and exposed PAD of the LM5166.
10.1.2 Feedback Resistors
For the adjustable output voltage version of the LM5166, 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, keeping away from the SW node,
the inductor and VIN 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, 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
