The LMR16006 is a PWM DC/DC buck (step-down)
regulator. With a wide input range of 4 V to 60 V, it is
suitable for a wide range of application from industrial
to automotive for power conditioning from an
unregulated source. The regulator’s standby current
is 28 µA in ECO mode, which is suitable for battery
operating systems. An ultra low 1 µA shutdown
current can further prolong battery life. Operating
frequency is fixed at 0.7 MHz (X version) and 2.1
MHz (Y version) allowing the use of small external
components while still being able to have low output
ripple voltage. Soft-start and compensation circuits
are implemented internally, which allows the device to
be used with minimized external components. The
LMR16006 is optimized for up to 600 mA load
currents. It has a 0.765 V typical feedback voltage.
The device has built-in protection features such as
pulse by pulse current limit, thermal sensing and
shutdown due to excessive power dissipation. The
LMR16006 is available in a low profile SOT-6L
package.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The LMR16006 device is a 60 V, 600 mA, step-down (buck) regulator. The buck regulator has a very low
quiescent current during light load to prolong battery life.
LMR16006 improves performance during line and load transients by implementing a constant frequency, current
mode control which requires less output capacitance and simplifies frequency compensation design. Two
switching frequency options, 0.7 MHz and 2.1 MHz, are available, thus smaller inductor and capacitor can be
used. The LMR16006 reduces the external component count by integrating the boot recharge diode. The bias
voltage for the integrated high side MOSFET is supplied by a capacitor on the CB to SW pin. The boot capacitor
voltage is monitored by an UVLO circuit and will turn the high side MOSFET off when the boot voltage falls
below a preset threshold. The LMR16006 can operate at high duty cycles because of the boot UVLO and refresh
the wimp FET. The output voltage can be stepped down to as low as the 0.8 V reference. Internal soft-start is
featured to minimize inrush currents.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Fixed Frequency PWM Control
The LMR16006 has two fixed frequency options, and it implements peak current mode control. The output
voltage is compared through external resistors on the VFB pin to an internal voltage reference by an error
amplifier which drives the internal COMP node. An internal oscillator initiates the turn on of the high side power
switch. The error amplifier output is compared to the high side power switch current. When the power switch
current reaches the level set by the internal COMP voltage, the power switch is turned off. The internal COMP
node voltage will increase and decrease as the output current increases and decreases. The device implements
a current limit by clamping the COMP node voltage to a maximum level.
8.3.2 Bootstrap Voltage (CB)
The LMR16006 has an integrated boot regulator, and requires a small ceramic capacitor between the CB and
SW pins to provide the gate drive voltage for the high side MOSFET. The CB capacitor is refreshed when the
high side MOSFET is off and the low side diode conducts. To improve drop out, the LMR16006 is designed to
operate at 100% duty cycle as long as the CB to SW pin voltage is greater than 3 V. When the voltage from CB
to SW drops below 3 V, the high side MOSFET is turned off using an UVLO circuit which allows the low side
diode to conduct and refresh the charge on the CB capacitor. Since the supply current sourced from the CB
capacitor is low, the high side MOSFET can remain on for more switching cycles than are required to refresh the
capacitor, thus the effective duty cycle of the switching regulator is high. Attention must be taken in maximum
duty cycle applications with light load. To ensure SW can be pulled to ground to refresh the CB capacitor, an
internal circuit will charge the CB capacitor when the load is light or the device is working in dropout condition.
8.3.3 Output Voltage Setting
The output voltage is set using the feedback pin and a resistor divider connected to the output as shown on the
front page schematic. The feedback pin voltage 0.765 V, so the ratio of the feedback resistors sets the output
voltage according to the following equation: VOUT = 0.765 V (1+(R1/R2)). Typically R2 will be given as 1k Ω - 100
kΩ for a starting value. To solve for R1 given R2 and Vout uses R1 = R2 ((VOUT/0.765 V)-1).
8.3.4 Enable SHDN and VIN Undervoltage Lockout
LMR16006 SHDN pin is a high voltage tolerant input with an internal pull up circuit. The device can be enabled
even if the SHDN pin is floating. The regulator can also be turned on using 1.23 V or higher logic signals. If the
use of a higher voltage is desired due to system or other constraints, a 100 kΩ or larger resistor is recommended
between the applied voltage and the SHDN pin to protect the device. When SHDN is pulled down to 0 V, the chip
is turned off and enters the lowest shutdown current mode. In shutdown mode the supply current will be
decreased to approximately 1 µA. If the shutdown function is not to be used the SHDN pin may be tied to VIN via
100kΩ resistor. The maximum voltage to the SHDN pin should not exceed 60 V. LMR16006 has an internal
UVLO circuit to shutdown the output if the input voltage falls below an internally fixed UVLO threshold level. This
ensures that the regulator is not latched into an unknown state during low input voltage conditions. The regulator
will power up when the input voltage exceeds the voltage level. If there is a requirement for a higher UVLO
voltage, the SHDN can be used to adjust the system UVLO by using external resistors.
8.3.5 Current Limit
The LMR16006 implements current mode control which uses the internal COMP voltage to turn off the high side
MOSFET on a cycle-by-cycle basis. Each cycle the switch current and internal COMP voltage are compared,
when the peak switch current intersects the COMP voltage, the high side switch is turned off. During overcurrent
conditions that pull the output voltage low, the error amplifier will respond by driving the COMP node high,
increasing the switch current. The error amplifier output is clamped internally, which functions as a switch current
limit.
8.3.6 Overvoltage Transient Protection
The LMR16006 incorporates an overvoltage transient protection (OVTP) circuit to minimize voltage overshoot
when recovering from output fault conditions or strong unload transients on power supply designs with low value
output capacitance. For example, when the power supply output is overloaded the error amplifier compares the
actual output voltage to the internal reference voltage. If the FB pin voltage is lower than the internal reference
voltage for a considerable time, the output of the error amplifier will respond by clamping the error amplifier

Feature Description (continued)
output to a high voltage. Thus, requesting the maximum output current. Once the condition is removed, the
regulator output rises and the error amplifier output transitions to the steady state duty cycle. In some
applications, the power supply output voltage can respond faster than the error amplifier output can respond, this
actuality leads to the possibility of an output overshoot. The OVTP feature minimizes the output overshoot, when
using a low value output capacitor, by implementing a circuit to compare the FB pin voltage to OVTP threshold
which is 108% of the internal voltage reference. If the FB pin voltage is greater than the OVTP threshold, the
high side MOSFET is disabled preventing current from flowing to the output and minimizing output overshoot.
When the FB voltage drops lower than the OVTP threshold, the high side MOSFET is allowed to turn on at the
next clock cycle.
8.3.7 Thermal Shutdown
The device implements an internal thermal shutdown to protect itself if the junction temperature exceeds
170°C(typ). The thermal shutdown forces the device to stop switching when the junction temperature exceeds
the thermal trip threshold. Once the junction temperature decreases below 160°C(typ), the device reinitiates the
power up sequence.
8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1 Continuous Conduction Mode
The LMR16006 steps the input voltage down to a lower output voltage. In continuous conduction mode (when
the inductor current never reaches zero at CCM), the buck regulator operates in two cycles. The power switch is
connected between VIN and SW. In the first cycle of operation the transistor is closed and the diode is reverse
biased. Energy is collected in the inductor and the load current is supplied by Cout and the rising current through
the inductor. During the second cycle the transistor is open and the diode is forward biased due to the fact that
the inductor current cannot instantaneously change direction. The energy stored in the inductor is transferred to
the load and output capacitor. The ratio of these two cycles determines the output voltage. The output voltage is
defined approximately as: D = VOUT/VIN and D' = (1-D) where D is the duty cycle of the switch, D and D' will be
required for design calculations.
8.4.2 ECO Mode
The LMR16006 operates in ECO mode at light load currents to improve efficiency by reducing switching and gate
drive losses. The LMR16006 is designed so that if the output voltage is within regulation and the peak switch
current at the end of any switching cycle is below the sleep current threshold, IINDUCTOR ≤ 80 mA, the device
enters ECO mode. For ECO mode operation, the LMR16006 senses peak current, not average or load current,
so the load current where the device enters ECO mode is dependent on VIN, VOUT and the output inductor value.
When the load current is low and the output voltage is within regulation, the device enters an ECO mode and
draws only 28 µA input quiescent current.

This example details the design of a high frequency switching regulator using ceramic output capacitors. A few
parameters must be known in order to start the design process. These parameters are typically determined at the
system level:
9.2.2.2 Output Inductor Selection
The most critical parameters for the inductor are the inductance, peak current and the DC resistance. The
inductance is related to the peak-to-peak inductor ripple current, the input and the output voltages. Since the
ripple current increases with the input voltage, the maximum input voltage is always used to determine the
inductance. To calculate the minimum value of the output inductor, use Equation 1. KIND is a coefficient that
represents the amount of inductor ripple current relative to the maximum output current. A reasonable value is
setting the ripple current to be 30%-40% of the DC output current. For this design example, the minimum
inductor value is calculated to be 20.4 µH, and a nearest standard value was chosen: 22 µH. For the output filter
inductor, it is important that the RMS current and saturation current ratings not be exceeded. The RMS and peak
inductor current can be found from Equation 3 and Equation 4. The inductor ripple current is 0.22 A, and the
RMS current is 0.602 A. As the equation set demonstrates, lower ripple currents will reduce the output voltage
ripple of the regulator but will require a larger value of inductance. A good starting point for most applications is
22 μH with a 1.6 A current rating. Using a rating near 1.6 A will enable the LMR16006 to current limit without
saturating the inductor. This is preferable to the LMR16006 going into thermal shutdown mode and the possibility
of damaging the inductor if the output is shorted to ground or other long-term overload.

9.2.2.3 Output Capacitor Selection
The selection of Cout is mainly driven by three primary considerations. The output capacitor will determine the
modulator pole, the output voltage ripple, and how the regulator responds to a large change in load current. The
output capacitance needs to be selected based on the most stringent of these three criteria.
The desired response to a large change in the load current is the first criteria. The regulator usually needs two or
more clock cycles for the control loop to see the change in load current and output voltage and adjust the duty
cycle to react to the change. The output capacitance must be large enough to supply the difference in current for
2 clock cycles while only allowing a tolerable amount of droop in the output voltage. Equation 5 shows the
minimum output capacitance necessary to accomplish this. The transient load response is specified as a 3%
change in VOUT for a load step from 0.03 A to 0.6 A (full load), ΔIOUT = 0.6 -0.03 = 0.57 A and ΔVOUT = 0.03 × 5 =
0.15 V. Using these numbers gives a minimum capacitance of 10.8 µF. For ceramic capacitors, the ESR is
usually small enough to ignore in this calculation. Aluminum electrolytic and tantalum capacitors have higher
ESR that should be taken into account.

The stored energy in the inductor will produce an output voltage overshoot when the load current rapidly
decreases. The output capacitor must also be sized to absorb energy stored in the inductor when transitioning
from a high load current to a lower load current. Equation 6 is used to calculate the minimum capacitance to
keep the output voltage overshoot to a desired value. Where L is the value of the inductor, IOH is the output
current under heavy load, IOL is the output under light load, Vf is the final peak output voltage, and Vi is the initial
capacitor voltage. For this example, the worst case load step will be from 0.6 A to 0.03 A. The output voltage will
increase during this load transition and the stated maximum in our specification is 3% of the output voltage. This
will make Vo_overshoot = 1.03 × 5 = 5.15 V. Vi is the initial capacitor voltage which is the nominal output voltage
of 5 V. Using these numbers in Equation 6 yields a minimum capacitance of 5.2 µF.
Equation 7 calculates the minimum output capacitance needed to meet the output voltage ripple specification.
Where fsw is the switching frequency, Vo_ripple is the maximum allowable output voltage ripple, and IL_ripple is the
inductor ripple current. Equation 7 yields 0.26 µF.
Equation 8 calculates the maximum ESR an output capacitor can have to meet the output voltage ripple
specification. Equation 8 indicates the ESR should be less than 680 mΩ.
Additional capacitance de-ratings for aging, temperature and dc bias should be factored in which will increase
this minimum value. For this example, 10 µF ceramic capacitors will be used. Capacitors in the range of 4.7 µF100 µF are a good starting point with an ESR of 0.7 Ω or less.

9.2.2.4 Schottky Diode Selection
The breakdown voltage rating of the diode is preferred to be 25% higher than the maximum input voltage. In the
target application, the current rating for the diode should be equal or greater to the maximum output current for
best reliability in most applications. In cases where the input voltage is not much greater than the output voltage
the average diode current is lower. In this case it is possible to use a diode with a lower average current rating,
approximately (1-D) × IOUT. However the peak current rating should be higher than the maximum load current. A
0.5 A to 1 A rated diode is a good starting point.
9.2.2.5 Input Capacitor Selection
A low ESR ceramic capacitor is needed between the VIN pin and ground pin. This capacitor prevents large
switching voltage transients from appearing at the input. Use a 1 µF-10 µF value with X5R or X7R dielectric.
Depending on construction, a ceramic capacitor’s value can decrease up to 50% of its nominal value when rated
voltage is applied. Consult with the capacitor manufactures data sheet for information on capacitor derating over
voltage and temperature. The capacitor must also have a ripple current rating greater than the maximum input
current ripple of the LMR16006. The input ripple current can be calculated using below Equation 9.
For this example design, one 2.2 µF, 50 V capacitor is selected. The input capacitance value determines the
input ripple voltage of the regulator. The input voltage ripple can be calculated using Equation 10. Using the
design example values, IOUT_max = 0.6 A, Cin = 2.2 µF, ƒSW = 700 kHz, yields an input voltage ripple of 97 mV
and a rms input ripple current of 0.3 A.

9.2.2.6 Bootstrap Capacitor Selection
A 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor or larger is recommended for the bootstrap capacitor (CBOOT). For applications where
the input voltage is close to output voltage a larger capacitor is recommended, generally 0.1 µF to 1 µF to ensure
plenty of gate drive for the internal switches and a consistently low RDSON. A ceramic capacitor with an X7R or
X5R grade dielectric with a voltage rating of 10 V or higher is recommended because of the stable characteristics
over temperature and voltage.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
The LMR16006 is designed to operate from an input voltage supply range between 4 V and 60 V. This input
supply should be able to withstand the maximum input current and maintain a voltage above 4 V. The resistance
of the input supply rail should be low enough that an input current transient does not cause a high enough drop
at the LMR16006 supply voltage that can cause a false UVLO fault triggering and system reset. If the input
supply is located more than a few inches from the LMR16006, additional bulk capacitance may be required in
addition to the ceramic input capacitors.
11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
Layout is a critical portion of good power supply design. The following guidelines will help users design a PCB
with the best power conversion performance, thermal performance, and minimized generation of unwanted EMI.
1. The feedback network, resistors R1 and R2, should be kept close to the FB pin, and away from the inductor
to minimize coupling noise into the feedback pin.
2. The input bypass capacitor Cin must be placed close to the VIN pin. This will reduce copper trace resistance
which effects input voltage ripple of the IC.
3. The inductor L1 should be placed close to the SW pin to reduce magnetic and electrostatic noise.
4. The output capacitor, Cout should be placed close to the junction of L1 and the diode D1. The L1, D1, and
Cout trace should be as short as possible to reduce conducted and radiated noise and increase overall
efficiency.
5. The ground connection for the diode, Cin, and Cout should be as small as possible and tied to the system
ground plane in only one spot (preferably at the Cout ground point) to minimize conducted noise in the
system ground plane.
