LM53603 (3 A), LM53602 (2 A) 3.5 V to 36 V Wide-VIN Synchronous 2.1 MHz Step-Down
Converters
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
The LM53603 and LM53602 buck regulators are
specifically designed for 12-V industrial and
automotive applications, providing an adjustable
output voltage from 3.3 V to 10 V at 3 A or 2 A, from
an input voltage of up to 36 V. Advanced high-speed
circuitry allows the device to regulate from an input of
up to 20 V, while providing an output of 5 V at a
switching frequency of 2.1 MHz. The innovative
architecture allows the device to regulate a 3.3-V
output from an input voltage of only 3.5 V. All aspects
of this product are optimized for the industrial and
automotive customer. An input voltage range up to 36
V, with transient tolerance up to 42 V, eases input
surge protection design. An open-drain reset output,
with filtering and delay, provides a true indication of
system status. This feature negates the requirement
for an additional supervisory component, saving cost
and board space. Seamless transition between PWM
and PFM modes, along with a no-load operating
current of only 24 µA, ensures high efficiency and
superior transient response at all loads.

Under no conditions should the output voltage be allowed to fall below zero volts.
An extended output voltage range to 10 V is possible with changes to the typical application schematic. Also, some system
specifications are not achieved for output voltages greater than 6 V. Consult the factory for further information.
High junction temperatures degrade operating lifetimes. Operating lifetime is de-rated for junction temperatures greater than 125°C.

Minimum and maximum limits are 100% production tested at 25°C. Limits over the operating temperature range are verified through
correlation using Statistical Quality Control (SQC) methods. Limits are used to calculate Average Outgoing Quality Level (AOQL).
This is the input voltage at which the device starts to operate (rising). The device shuts down when the input voltage goes below this
value minus the hysteresis.
This is the current used by the device, open loop. It does not represent the total input current of the system when in regulation. See
Isupply in System Characteristics
The FB pin is set to 5.5 V for this test.
Below this voltage on the EN input, the device shuts down completely.
See the Current Limit section for an explanation of valley current limit.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The LM5360x family of devices are synchronous current mode buck regulators designed specifically for the Wide
Input voltage Industrial and automotive market. The regulator automatically switches between PWM and PFM
depending on load. At heavy loads the device operates in PWM at a switching frequency of 2.1 MHz. The
regulator's oscillator can also be synchronized to an external system clock. At input voltages above about 20 V,
the switching frequency reduces to maintain regulation during conditions of abnormally high battery voltage. At
light loads the mode changes to PFM, with diode emulation allowing DCM. This reduces input supply current and
keeps the efficiency high. The user can also choose to lock the mode in PWM (FPWM) so that the switching
frequency remains constant regardless of load.
A RESET flag is provided to indicate when the output voltage is near its regulation point. This feature includes
filtering and a delay before asserting. This helps to prevent false flag operation during output voltage transients.
Note that, throughout this data sheet, references to the LM53603 apply equally to the LM53602. The difference
between the two devices is the maximum output current and specified MOSFET current limits.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 RESET Flag Output
The RESET function, built-in to the LM53603, has special features not found in the ordinary Power Good
function. A glitch filter prevents false flag operation for short excursions in the output voltage, such as during line
and load transients. Furthermore, there is a delay between the point at which the output voltage is within
specified limits and the flag asserts Power Good. Because the RESET comparator and the regulation loop share
the same reference, the thresholds track with the output voltage. This allows the LM53603 to be specified with a
96.5% maximum threshold, while at the same time specifying a 95% threshold with respect to the actual output
voltage for that device. This allows tighter tolerance than is possible with an external supervisor device. The net
result is a more accurate power-good function while expanding the system allowance for transients, and so forth.
RESET operation can best be understood by reference to Figure 7 and Figure 8. The values for the various filter
and delay times can be found in the Timing Requirements table. Output voltage excursions lasting less than
TRESET-filter, do not trip RESET. Once the output voltage is within the prescribed limits, a delay of TRESET-act is
imposed before RESET goes high.
This output consists of an open-drain NMOS; requiring an external pullup resistor to a suitable logic supply. It
can also be pulled up to either VCC or VOUT, through an appropriate resistor, as desired. If this function is not
needed, the pin should be left floating or grounded. When EN is pulled low, the flag output is also forced low.
With EN low, RESET remains valid as long as the input voltage is ≥ 1.5 V. The maximum current into this pin
should be limited to 1 mA, while the maximum voltage should be less than 8 V.

8.3.2 Enable and Start-Up
Start-up and shutdown of the LM53603 are controlled by the EN input. Applying a voltage of ≥ 2 V activates the
device, while a voltage of ≤ 0.8 V is required to shut it down. The EN input may also be connected directly to the
input voltage supply, if this feature is not needed. This input must not be left floating. The LM53603 uses a
reference based soft-start, that prevents output voltage overshoots and large inrush currents as the regulator is
starting up. A typical start-up waveform is shown in Figure 9 along with typical timings.

8.3.3 Current Limit
The LM53603 incorporates valley current limit for normal overloads and for short-circuit protection. In addition,
the low side switch is also protected from excessive negative current when the device is in FPWM mode. Finally,
a high-side peak current limit is employed for protection of the top NMOS FET.
During overloads the low-side current limit, ILS (see Electrical Characteristics), determines the maximum load
current that the LM53603 can supply. When the low-side switch turns on, the inductor current begins to ramp
down. If the current does not fall below ILS before the next turnon cycle, then that cycle is skipped and the lowside FET is left on until the current falls below ILS. This is somewhat different than the more typical peak current
limit, and results in Equation 1 for the maximum load current.

If the above situation persists for more than about 64 clock cycles, the device turns off both high-side and lowside switches for approximately 5.5 ms (see TW in Timing Requirements). If the overload is still present after the
hiccup time, another 64 cycles is counted and the process is repeated. If the current limit is not tripped for two
consecutive clock cycles, the counter is reset. Figure 10 shows the inductor current with a hard short on the
output. The hiccup time allows the inductor current to fall to zero, resetting the inductor volt-second balance. This
is the method used for short-circuit protection and keeps the power dissipation low during a fault. Of course the
output current is greatly reduced in this condition (see Typical Characteristics). A typical short-circuit transient
and recovery is shown in Figure 11.

Figure 11. Short-Circuit Transient and Recovery
The high-side current limit trips when the peak inductor current reaches IHS (see Electrical Characteristics). This
is a cycle-by-cycle current limit and does not produce any frequency or current fold-back. It is meant to protect
the high-side MOSFET from excessive current. Under some conditions, such as high input voltage, this current
limit may trip before the low-side protection. The peak value of this current limit varies with duty-cycle.
In FPWM mode, the inductor current is allowed to go negative. Should this current exceed INEG, the low-side
switch is turned off until the next clock cycle. This is used to protect the low-side switch from excessive negative
current. When the device is in AUTO mode, the negative current limit is increased to about 0 A; IZC. This allows
the device to operate in DCM.
8.3.4 Synchronizing Input
The internal clock of the LM53603 can be synchronized to a system clock through the SYNC input. This input
recognizes a valid high level as that ≥ 1.5 V, and a valid low as that ≤ 0.4 V. The frequency synchronization
signal should be in the range of 1.9 MHz to 2.3 MHz with a duty cycle of from 10% to 90%. The internal clock is
synced to the rising edge of the external clock. If this input is not used, it should be grounded. The maximum
voltage on this input is 5.5 V; and should not be allowed to float. See the Device Functional Modes section to
determine which modes are valid for synchronizing the clock.
8.3.5 Input Supply Current
The LM53603 is designed to have very low input supply current when regulating light loads. One way this is
achieved is by powering much of the internal circuitry from the output. The BIAS pin is the input to the LDO that
powers the majority of the control circuits. By connecting the BIAS input to the output of the regulator, this current
acts as a small load on the output. This current is reduced by the ratio of VOUT/VIN, just like any other load.
Another advantage of the LM53603 is that the feedback divider is integrated into the device. This allows the use
of much larger resistors than can be used externally; >> 100 kΩ. This results in much lower divider current than
is possible with external resistors. Equation 2 can be used to estimate the total input supply current when the
device is regulating with no external loads. The terms of the equation are as follows:
• IIN: Input supply current with no load.
• IQ: Device quiescent current, see Electrical Characteristics.
• IEN: Current into EN pin; see Electrical Characteristics.
• IB: Current into BIAS pin; see Electrical Characteristics.
• K: ≈ 0.9

Feature Description (continued)
Equation 2 can be used as a guide to indicate how the various terms affect the input supply current. The
Application Curves show measured values for the input supply current for both 3.3-V and 5-V output voltage
versions.
8.3.6 UVLO and TSD
The LM53603 incorporates an input undervoltage lockout (UVLO) function. The device accepts an EN command
when the input voltage rises above about 3.64 V and shuts down when the input falls below about 3.3 V. See the
Electrical Characteristics table under VIN-operate for detailed specifications.
Thermal shutdown is provided to protect the device from excessive temperature. When the junction temperature
reaches about 162°C, the device shuts down; restart occurs at a temperature of about 144ºC.
8.4 Device Functional Modes
See Table 1 and the following paragraphs for a detailed description of the functional modes for the LM53603.
These modes are controlled by the FPWM input as shown in Table 1. This input can be controlled by any
compatible logic, and the mode changed while the regulator is operating. If it is desired to lock the mode for a
given application, the input can be either connected to ground, a logic supply, or the VCC pin, as desired. The
maximum input voltage on this pin is 5.5 V and it should not be allowed to float.
Table 1. Mode Selection
FPWM INPUT VOLTAGE
OPERATING MODE
> 1.5 V
Forced PWM: The regulator operates as a constant frequency, current mode, fullsynchronous converter for all loads; without diode emulation.
< 0.4 V
AUTO: The regulator moves between PFM and PWM as the load current changes, using
diode-emulation-mode to allow DCM (see the Glossary).
8.4.1 AUTO Mode
In AUTO mode the device moves between PWM and PFM as the load changes. At light loads the regulator
operates in PFM. At higher loads the mode changes to PWM. The load currents for which the devices moves
from PWM to PFM can be found in the Application Curves.
In PWM , the converter operates as a constant frequency, current mode, full synchronous converter using PWM
to regulate the output voltage. While operating in this mode the output voltage is regulated by switching at a
constant frequency and modulating the duty cycle to control the power to the load. This provides excellent line
and load regulation and low output voltage ripple. When in PWM, the converter synchronizes to any valid clock
signal on the SYNC input (see Dropout and Input Voltage Frequency Fold-Back).
In PFM the high-side FET is turned on in a burst of one or more cycles to provide energy to the load. The
frequency of these bursts is adjusted to regulate the output, while diode emulation is used to maximize efficiency.
This mode provides high light load efficiency by reducing the amount of input supply current required to regulate
the output voltage at small loads Glossary. This trades off very good light load efficiency for larger output voltage
ripple and variable switching frequency. Also, a small increase in the output voltage occurs in PFM. The actual
switching frequency and output voltage ripple depend on the input voltage, output voltage, and load. Typical
switching waveforms for PFM are shown in Figure 12. See the Application Curves for output voltage variation in
AUTO mode. The SYNC input is ignored during PFM operation.
A unique feature of this device, is that a minimum input voltage is required for the regulator to switch from PWM
to PFM at light load. This feature is a consequence of the advanced architecture employed to provide high
efficiency at light loads. Figure 13 indicates typical values of input voltage required to switch modes at no-load.
Also, once the regulator switches to PFM, at light load, it remains in that mode if the input voltage is reduced.

8.4.2 FPWM Mode
With a logic high on the FPWM input, the device is locked in PWM mode. This operation is maintained, even at
no-load, by allowing the inductor current to reverse its normal direction. This mode trades off reduced light load
efficiency for low output voltage ripple, tight output voltage regulation, and constant switching frequency. In this
mode, a negative current limit of INEG is imposed to prevent damage to the regulators low-side FET. When in
FPWM, the converter synchronizes to any valid clock signal on the SYNC input (see Dropout and Input Voltage
Frequency Fold-Back).

8.4.3 Dropout
One of the parameters that influences the dropout performance of a buck regulator is the minimum off-time. As
the input voltage is reduced, to near the output voltage, the off-time of the high-side switch starts to approach the
minimum value (see Timing Requirements). Beyond this point the switching may become erratic or the output
voltage falls out of regulation. To avoid this problem, the LM53603 automatically reduces the switching frequency
to increase the effective duty cycle. This results in two specifications regarding dropout voltage, as shown in the
System Characteristics table. One specification indicates when the switching frequency drops to 1.85 MHz;
avoiding the A.M. radio band. The other specification indicates when the output voltage has fallen to 1% of
nominal. See the Application Curves for typical values of dropout. The overall dropout characteristic for the 5-V
option, can be seen in Figure 14. The SYNC input is ignored during frequency fold-back in dropout.

8.4.4 Input Voltage Frequency Fold-Back
At higher input voltages the on-time of the high-side switch becomes small. When the minimum is reached (see
Timing Requirements), the switching may become erratic or the output voltage falls out of regulation. To avoid
this behavior, the LM53603 automatically reduces the switching frequency at input voltages above about 20 V
(see Application Curves). In this way the device avoids the minimum on-time restriction and maintains regulation
at abnormally high battery voltages. The SYNC input is ignored during frequency fold-back at high input voltages.

9 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI's customers are
responsible for determining the suitability of components for their purposes. Customers
should validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
9.1 Application Information
The LM53603 and LM53602 are step-down DC-DC converters, typically used to convert a higher DC voltage to a
lower DC voltage with a maximum output current of either 3 A or 2 A. The following design procedure can be
used to select components for the LM53603 or LM53602. Alternately, the WEBENCH® Design Tool may be used
to generate a complete design. This tool uses an iterative design procedure and has access to a comprehensive
database of components. This allows the tool to create an optimized design and allows the user to experiment
with various design options.

9.2.1.1 Design Parameters
There are a few design parameters to take into account. Most of those choices decide which version of the
device to use. The desired output current steers the designer toward a LM53602 type or LM53603 type part. If
the output voltage is 3.3 V or 5 V, a fixed output version of the device can be used. Any other voltage level within
the tolerance of the part can be achieved by using an adjustable version of the device. Most but not all
parameters are independent of the of the IC choice. The output filter components (inductor and output
capacitors) might vary with the choice of output voltage, especially for output voltages higher than 5 V. See
Detailed Design Procedure for help in choosing these components.

9.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The following detailed design procedure applies to Figure 15, Figure 16, and Figure 45.
9.2.1.2.1 Setting the Output Voltage
For the fixed output voltage versions, the FB input is connected directly to the output voltage node. Preferably,
near the top of the output capacitor. If the feed-back point is located further away from the output capacitors (that
is, remote sensing), then a small 100-nF capacitor may be needed at the sensing point.
For output voltages other than 5 V or 3.3 V, a feedback divider is required. For the ADJ version of the device, the
regulator holds the FB pin at 1 V. The range of adjustable output voltage can be found in the Recommended
Operating Conditions. Equation 3 can be used to determine RFBB for a desired output voltage and a given RFBT.
Usually RFBT is limited to a maximum value of 100 kΩ.

9.2.1.2.2 Output Capacitors
The LM53603 is designed to work with low-ESR ceramic capacitors. The effective value of these capacitors is
defined as the actual capacitance under voltage bias and temperature. All ceramic capacitors have a large
voltage coefficient, in addition to normal tolerances and temperature coefficients. Under DC bias, the capacitance
value drops considerably. Larger case sizes or higher voltage capacitors are better in this regard. To help
mitigate these effects, multiple small capacitors can be used in parallel to bring the minimum effective
capacitance up to the desired value. This can also ease the RMS current requirements on a single capacitor.
Table 4 shows the nominal and minimum values of total output capacitance recommended for the LM53603. The
values shown also provide a starting point for other output voltages, when using the ADJ option. Also shown are
the measured values of effective capacitance for the indicated capacitor. More output capacitance can be used
to improve transient performance and reduce output voltage ripple.
In practice, the output capacitor has the most influence on the transient response and loop phase margin. Load
transient testing and Bode plots are the best way to validate any given design, and should always be completed
before the application goes into production. A careful study of temperature and bias voltage variation of any
candidate ceramic capacitor should be made to ensure that the minimum value of effective capacitance is
provided. The best way to obtain an optimum design is to use the Texas Instruments WEBENCH Design Tool.
In ADJ applications the feed-forward capacitor, CFF, provides another degree of freedom when stabilizing and
optimizing the design. Application report Optimizing Transient Response of Internally Compensated dc-dc
Converters With Feedforward Capacitor (SLVA289) should prove helpful when adjusting the feed-forward
capacitor.
In addition to the capacitance shown in Table 4, a small ceramic capacitor placed on the output can help to
reduce high frequency noise. Small case size ceramic capacitors in the range of 1 nF to 100 nF can be very
helpful in reducing spikes on the output caused by inductor parasitics.
The maximum value of total output capacitance should be limited to between 300 µF and 400 µF. Large values
of output capacitance can prevent the regulator from starting-up correctly and adversely effect the loop stability. If
values in the range given above, or greater, are to be used, then a careful study of start-up at full load and loop
stability must be performed.

9.2.1.2.3 Input Capacitors
The ceramic input capacitors provide a low impedance source to the regulator in addition to supplying ripple
current and isolating switching noise from other circuits. Table 5 shows the nominal and minimum values of total
input capacitance recommenced for the LM53603. Also shown are the measured values of effective capacitance
for the indicated capacitor. In addition, small high frequency bypass capacitors connected directly between the
VIN and PGND pins are very helpful in reducing noise spikes and aid in reducing conducted EMI. TI
recommends that a small case size 10-nF ceramic capacitor be placed across the input, as close as possible to
the device (see Figure 47). Additional high frequency capacitors can be used to help manage conducted EMI or
voltage spike issues that may be encountered.

Many times it is desirable to use an electrolytic capacitor on the input, in parallel with the ceramics. This is
especially true if longs leads or traces are used to connect the input supply to the regulator. The moderate ESR
of this capacitor can help damp any ringing on the input supply caused by long power leads. The use of this
additional capacitor also helps with voltage dips caused by input supplies with unusually high impedance.
Most of the input switching current passes through the ceramic input capacitor(s). The approximate RMS value of
this current can be calculated from Equation 4 and should be checked against the manufacturers' maximum
ratings.

9.2.1.2.4 Inductor
The LM53603 and LM53602 are optimized for a nominal inductance of 2.2 µH for the 5-V and 3.3-V versions.
This gives a ripple current that is approximately 20% to 30% of the full load current of 3 A. For output voltages
greater than 5 V, a proportionally larger inductor can be used. This keeps the ratio of inductor current slope to
internal compensating slope constant.
The most important inductor parameters are saturation current and parasitic resistance. Inductors with a
saturation current of between 5 A and 6 A are appropriate for most applications, when using the LM53603. For
the LM53602, inductors with a saturation current of between 4 A and 5 A are appropriate. Of course the inductor
parasitic resistance should be as low as possible to reduce losses at heavy loads. Table 6 gives a list of several
possible inductors that can be used with the LM53603.

9.2.1.2.5 VCC
The VCC pin is the output of the internal LDO, used to supply the control circuits of the LM53603. This output
requires a 3.3-µF to 4.7-µF, ceramic capacitor connected from VCC to GND for proper operation. An X7R device
with a rating of 10 V is highly recommended. In general this output should not be loaded with any external
circuitry. However, it can be used to supply a logic level to the FPWM input, or for the pullup resistor used with
the RESET output (see Figure 16). The nominal output of the LDO is 3.15 V.
9.2.1.2.6 BIAS
The BIAS pin is the input to the internal LDO. As mentioned in Input Supply Current, this input is connected to
VOUT to provide the lowest possible supply current at light loads. Because this input is connected directly to the
output, it should be protected from negative voltage transients. Such transients may occur when the output is
shorted at the end of a long PCB trace or cable. If this is likely, in a given application, then a small resistor
should be placed in series between the BIAS input and VOUT, as shown in Figure 15. The resistor should be
sized to limit the current out of the BIAS pin to
