150 mA, 100V Step-Down Switching Regulator
General Description
The LM5009 Step Down Switching Regulator features all of
the functions needed to implement a low cost, efficient, Buck
bias regulator. This device is capable of driving a 150 mA load
current from a 9.5V to 95V input source. The switching fre-
quency can exceed 600 kHz, depending on the input and
output voltages. The output voltage may be set from 2.5V to
85V. This high voltage regulator contains an N-Channel buck
switch and internal startup regulator. The device is easy to
implement and is provided in the MSOP-8 and the thermally
enhanced LLP-8 packages. The LM5009 is a well suited al-
ternative to a high voltage monolithic or discrete linear solu-
tion where the power loss becomes unacceptable. The
regulator’s operation is based on a control scheme using an
ON time inversely proportional to VIN. This feature allows the
operating frequency to remain relatively constant over load
and input voltage variations. The control scheme requires no
loop compensation, resulting in an ultra-fast transient re-
sponse. An intelligent current limit is implemented with forced
OFF time, which is inversely proportional to Vout. This
scheme ensures short circuit protection while providing min-
imum foldback. Other features include: Thermal Shutdown,
Vcc under-voltage lockout, Gate drive under-voltage lockout,
and Maximum Duty Cycle limiter.

Functional Description
The LM5009 Step Down Switching Regulator features all the
functions needed to implement a low cost, efficient, Buck bias
power converter. This high voltage regulator contains a 100
V N-Channel Buck Switch, is easy to implement and is pro-
vided in the MSOP-8 and the thermally enhanced LLP-8
packages. The regulator is based on a control scheme using
an on-time inversely proportional to VIN. The control scheme
requires no loop compensation. Current limit is implemented
with forced off-time, which is inversely proportional to VOUT.
This scheme ensures short circuit protection while providing
minimum foldback. The Functional Block Diagram of the
LM5009 is shown in Figure 1.
The LM5009 can be applied in numerous applications to ef-
ficiently regulate down higher voltages. This regulator is well
suited for 48 Volt Telecom and the 42V Automotive power bus
ranges. Additional features include: Thermal Shutdown, VCC
under-voltage lockout, Gate drive under-voltage lockout, Max
Duty Cycle limit timer and the intelligent current limit off timer.
Control Circuit Overview
The LM5009 is a Buck DC-DC regulator that uses a control
scheme in which the on-time varies inversely with line voltage
(VIN). Control is based on a comparator and the on-time one-
shot, with the output voltage feedback (FB) compared to an
internal reference (2.5V). If the FB level is below the reference
the buck switch is turned on for a fixed time determined by the
line voltage and a programming resistor (RON). Following the
ON period the switch will remain off for at least the minimum
off-timer period of 300 ns. If FB is still below the reference at
that time the switch will turn on again for another on-time pe-
riod. This will continue until regulation is achieved, at which
time the off-time increases based on the required duty cycle.
The LM5009 operates in discontinuous conduction mode at
light load currents, and continuous conduction mode at heavy
load current. In discontinuous conduction mode, current
through the output inductor starts at zero and ramps up to a
peak during the on-time, then ramps back to zero before the
end of the off-time. The next on-time period starts when the
voltage at FB falls below the internal reference - until then the
inductor current remains zero. In this mode the operating fre-
quency is lower than in continuous conduction mode, and
varies with load current. Therefore at light loads the conver-
sion efficiency is maintained, since the switching losses re-
duce with the reduction in load and frequency. The discon-
tinuous operating frequency can be calculated as follows:
where RL = the load resistance
In continuous conduction mode, current flows continuously
through the inductor and never ramps down to zero. In this
mode the operating frequency is greater than the discontinu-
ous mode frequency and remains relatively constant with load
and line variations. The approximate continuous mode oper-
ating frequency can be calculated as follows:

LM5009
(1)
The output voltage (VOUT) is programmed by two external re-
sistors as shown in Figure 1. The regulation point is calculated
as follows:
VOUT = 2.5 x (R1 + R2) / R2
This regulator regulates the output voltage based on ripple
voltage at the feedback input, requiring a minimum amount of
ESR for the output capacitor C2. A minimum of 25mV of ripple
voltage at the feedback pin (FB) is required for the LM5009.
In cases where the capacitor ESR is too small, additional se-
ries resistance may be required (R3 in Figure 1).
For applications where lower output voltage ripple is required
the output can be taken directly from a low ESR output ca-
pacitor, as shown in Figure 2. However, R3 slightly degrades
the load regulation.
20165805
FIGURE 2. Low Ripple Output Configuration
High Voltage Start-Up Regulator
The LM5009 contains an internal high voltage startup regu-
lator. The input pin (VIN) can be connected directly to line
voltages up to 95 Volts, with transient capability to 100 volts.
The regulator is internally current limited at 9.5mA. Upon
power up, the regulator sources current into the external ca-
pacitor at VCC (C3). When the voltage on the VCC pin reach-
es the under-voltage lockout threshold of 6.3V, the buck
switch is enabled.
In applications involving a high value for VIN, where power
dissipation in the VCC regulator is a concern, an auxiliary volt-
age can be diode connected to the VCC pin. Setting the
voltage between 8V and 14V shuts off the internal regulator,
reducing internal power dissipation. See Figure 3. The current
required into the VCC pin is shown in the Typical Performance
Characteristics.
20165806
FIGURE 3. Self Biased Configuration
Regulation Comparator
The feedback voltage at FB is compared to an internal 2.5V
reference. In normal operation (the output voltage is regulat-
ed), an on-time period is initiated when the voltage at FB falls
below 2.5V. The buck switch will stay on for the programmed
on-time, causing the FB voltage to rise above 2.5V. After the
on-time period, the buck switch will stay off until the FB volt-
age again falls below 2.5V. During start-up, the FB voltage
will be below 2.5V at the end of each on-time, resulting in the
minimum off-time. Bias current at the FB pin is less than 5 nA
over temperature.
Over-Voltage Comparator
The feedback voltage at FB is compared to an internal 2.875V
reference. If the voltage at FB rises above 2.875V the on-time
pulse is immediately terminated. This condition can occur if
the input voltage, or the output load, change suddenly. The
buck switch will not turn on again until the voltage at FB falls
below 2.5V.
ON-Time Generator and Shutdown
The on-time for the LM5009 is determined by the RON resistor,
and is inversely proportional to the input voltage (Vin), result-
ing in a nearly constant frequency as Vin is varied over its
range. The on-time equation is:
TON = 1.25 x 10-10 x RON / VIN (2)
RON should be selected for a minimum on-time (at maximum
VIN) greater than 250 ns, for proper current limit operation.
This requirement limits the maximum frequency for each ap-
plication, depending on VIN and VOUT.
The LM5009 can be remotely disabled by taking the RON/SD
pin to ground. See Figure 4. The voltage at the RON/SD pin
is between 1.7V and 5V, depending on Vin and the value of
the RON resistor.

FIGURE 4. Shutdown Implementation
Current Limit
The LM5009 contains an intelligent current limit OFF timer. If
the current in the Buck switch exceeds 0.31A the present cy-
cle is immediately terminated, and a non-resetable OFF timer
is initiated. The length of off-time is controlled by an external
resistor (RCL) and the FB voltage. When FB = 0V, a maximum
off-time is required, and the time is preset to 35µs. This con-
dition occurs when the output is shorted, and during the initial
part of start-up. This amount of time ensures safe short circuit
operation up to the maximum input voltage of 95V. In cases
of overload where the FB voltage is above zero volts (not a
short circuit) the current limit off-time will be less than 35µs.
Reducing the off-time during less severe overloads reduces
the amount of foldback, recovery time, and the start-up time.
The off-time is calculated from the following equation:
(3)
The current limit sensing circuit is blanked for the first 50-70ns
of each on-time so it is not falsely tripped by the current surge
which occurs at turn-on. The current surge is required by the
re-circulating diode (D1) for its turn-off recovery.
N - Channel Buck Switch and Driver
The LM5009 integrates an N-Channel buck switch and asso-
ciated floating high voltage gate driver. The gate driver circuit
works in conjunction with an external bootstrap capacitor and
an internal high voltage diode. A 0.022 µF ceramic capacitor
(C4) connected between the BST pin and SW pin provides
the voltage to the driver during the on-time.
During each off-time, the SW pin is at approximately -1V, and
the bootstrap capacitor charges from Vcc through the internal
diode. The minimum OFF timer ensures a minimum time each
cycle to recharge the bootstrap capacitor.
An external re-circulating diode (D1) carries the inductor cur-
rent after the internal buck switch turns off. This diode should
be of the Ultra-fast or Schottky type to minimize turn-on losses
and current over-shoot.
Thermal Protection
The LM5009 should be operated so the junction temperature
does not exceed 125°C during normal operation. An internal
Thermal Shutdown circuit is provided to protect the LM5009
in the event of a higher than normal junction temperature.
When activated, typically at 165°C, the controller is forced into
a low power reset state, disabling the buck switch. This fea-
ture prevents catastrophic failures from accidental device
overheating. When the junction temperature reduces below
140°C (typical hysteresis = 25°C), the buck switch is enabled,
and normal operation is resumed.
Applications Information
SELECTION OF EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
A guide for determining the component values will be illus-
trated with a design example. Refer to Figure 1. The following
steps will configure the LM5009 for:
Input voltage range (Vin): 12V to 90V
Output voltage (VOUT1): 10V
Load current (for continuous conduction mode): 100mA to
150mA
R1 and R2: From Figure 1, VOUT1 = VFB x (R1 + R2) / R2, and
since VFB = 2.5V, the ratio of R1 to R2 calculates as 3:1.
Standard values of 3.01 k (R1) and 1.00 k (R2) are cho-
sen. Other values could be used as long as the 3:1 ratio is
maintained. The selected values, however, provide a small
amount of output loading (2.5 mA) in the event the main load
is disconnected. This allows the circuit to maintain regulation
until the main load is reconnected.
Fs and RON: Unless the application requires a specific fre-
quency, the choice of frequency is generally a compromise
since it affects the size of L1 and C2, and the switching losses.
The maximum allowed frequency, based on a minimum on-
time of 250 ns, is calculated from:
FMAX = VOUT / (VINMAX x 250 ns)
For this exercise, Fmax = 444 kHz. From equation 1, RON
calculates to 180 k. A standard value 237 k resistor will be
used to allow for tolerances in equation 1, resulting in a nom-
inal frequency of 337 kHz.
L1: The main parameter affected by the inductor is the output
current ripple amplitude. The choice of inductor value there-
fore depends on both the minimum and maximum load cur-
rents, keeping in mind that the maximum ripple current occurs
at maximum Vin.
a) Minimum load current: To maintain continuous conduc-
tion at minimum Io (100 mA), the ripple amplitude (IOR) must
be less than 200 mA p-p so the lower peak of the waveform
does not reach zero. L1 is calculated using the following
equation:
9 www.ti.com
LM5009
At Vin = 90V, L1(min) calculates to 132 µH. The next larger
standard value (150 µH) is chosen and with this value IOR
calculates to 176 mA p-p at Vin = 90V, and 33 mA p-p at Vin
= 12V.
b) Maximum load current: At a load current of 150 mA, the
peak of the ripple waveform must not reach the minimum
guaranteed value of the LM5009’s current limit threshold (250
mA). Therefore the ripple amplitude must be less than 200
mA p-p, which is already satisfied in the above calculation.
With L1 = 150 µH, at maximum Vin and Io, the peak of the
ripple will be 238 mA. While L1 must carry this peak current
without saturating or exceeding its temperature rating, it also
must be capable of carrying the maximum guaranteed value
of the LM5009’s current limit threshold (370 mA) without sat-
urating, since the current limit is reached during startup.
C3: The capacitor on the VCC output provides not only noise
filtering and stability, but also prevents false triggering of the
VCC UVLO at the buck switch on/off transitions. For this rea-
son, C3 should be no smaller than 0.1 µF.
C2, and R3: When selecting the output filter capacitor C2, the
items to consider are ripple voltage due to its ESR, ripple
voltage due to its capacitance, and the nature of the load.
a) ESR and R3: A low ESR for C2 is generally desirable so
as to minimize power losses and heating within the capacitor.
However, this regulator requires a minimum amount of ripple
voltage at the feedback input for proper loop operation. For
the LM5009 the minimum ripple required at pin 5 is 25 mV p-
p, requiring a minimum ripple at VOUT1 of 100 mV. Since the
minimum ripple current (at minimum Vin) is 33 mA p-p, the
minimum ESR required at VOUT1 is 3 . Since quality capac-
itors for SMPS applications have an ESR considerably less
than this, R3 is inserted as shown in Figure 1. R3’s value,
along with C2’s ESR, must result in at least 25 mV p-p ripple
at pin 5. Generally, R3 will be 0.5 to 5.0 Ω.
b) Nature of the Load: The load can be connected to
VOUT1 or VOUT2. VOUT1 provides good regulation, but with a
ripple voltage which ranges from 100 mV (@ Vin = 12V) to
580 mV (@Vin = 90V). Alternatively, VOUT2 provides low ripple
(3 mV to 13 mV) but lower regulation due to R3.
C2 should generally be no smaller than 3.3 µF. Typically, its
value is 10 µF to 20 µF, with the optimum value determined
by the load. If the load current is fairly constant, a small value
suffices for C2. If the load current includes significant tran-
sients, a larger value is necessary. For each application,
experimentation is needed to determine the optimum values
for R3 and C2.
C) Ripple Reduction: The ripple amplitude at VOUT1 can be
reduced by reducing R3, and adding a capacitor across R1
so as to tranfer the ripple at VOUT1 directly to the FB pin, with-
out attenuation. The new value of R3 is calculated from:
R3 = 25 mV/IOR(min)
where IOR(min) is the minimum ripple current amplitude - 33
mAp-p in this example. The added capacitor's value is calcu-
lated from:
C = TON(max)/(R1 // R2)
where TON(max) is the maximum on-time (at minimum Vin). The
selected capacitor should be larger than the value calculated
above.
RCL: When a current limit condition is detected, the minimum
off-time set by this resistor must be greater than the maximum
normal off-time which occurs at maximum Vin. Using equation
2, the minimum on-time is 0.329 µs, yielding a maximum off-
time of 2.63 µs. This is increased by 82 ns (to 2.72 µs) due to
a ±25% tolerance of the on-time. This value is then increased
to allow for:
The response time of the current limit detection loop
(400ns),
The off-time determined by equation 3 has a ±25% toler-
ance,
tOFFCL(MIN) = (2.72 µs x 1.25) + 0.4 µs= 3.8 µs
Using equation 3, RCL calculates to 167 k (at VFB = 2.5V).
The closest standard value is 169 kΩ.
D1: The important parameters are reverse recovery time and
forward voltage. The reverse recovery time determines how
long the reverse current surge lasts each time the buck switch
is turned on. The forward voltage drop is significant in the
event the output is short-circuited as it is only this diode’s
voltage which forces the inductor current to reduce during the
forced off-time. For this reason, a higher voltage is better, al-
though that affects efficiency. A good choice is an ultrafast
power or Schottky diode with a reverse recovery time of 30
ns, and a forward voltage drop of 0.7V. Other types of diodes
may have a lower forward voltage drop, but may have longer
recovery times, or greater reverse leakage. D1’s reverse volt-
age rating must be at least as great as the maximum Vin, and
its current rating be greater than the maximum current limit
threshold (370 mA).
C1: This capacitor’s purpose is to supply most of the switch
current during the on-time, and limit the voltage ripple at VIN,
on the assumption that the voltage source feeding VIN has
an output impedance greater than zero. At maximum load
current, when the buck switch turns on, the current into pin 8
will suddenly increase to the lower peak of the output current
waveform, ramp up to the peak value, then drop to zero at
turn-off. The average input current during this on-time is the
load current (150 mA). For a worst case calculation, C1 must
supply this average load current during the maximum on-time.
To keep the input voltage ripple to less than 2V (for this ex-
ercise), C1 calculates to:
Quality ceramic capacitors in this value have a low ESR which
adds only a few millivolts to the ripple. It is the capacitance
which is dominant in this case. To allow for the capacitor’s
tolerance, temperature effects, and voltage effects, a 1.0 µF,
100V, X7R capacitor will be used.
C4: The recommended value is 0.022 µF for C4, as this is
appropriate in the majority of applications. A high quality ce-
ramic capacitor, with low ESR is recommended as C4 sup-
plies the surge current to charge the buck switch gate at turn-
on. A low ESR also ensures a quick recharge during each off-
time. At minimum VIN, when the on-time is at maximum, it is
possible during start-up that C4 will not fully recharge during
each 300 ns off-time. The circuit will not be able to complete
the start-up, and achieve output regulation. This can occur
when the frequency is intended to be low (e.g., RON = 500K).
In this case C4 should be increased so it can maintain suffi-
www.ti.com 10
LM5009
cient voltage across the buck switch driver during each on-
time.
C5: This capacitor helps avoid supply voltage transients and
ringing due to long lead inductance at VIN. A low ESR, 0.1µF
ceramic chip capacitor is recommended, located close to the
LM5009.
FINAL CIRCUIT
The final circuit is shown in Figure 5. The circuit was tested,
and the resulting performance is shown in Figure 6 through
Figure 9. For these graphs, the load current was varied from
50mA to 200mA.
MINIMUM LOAD CURRENT
A minimum load current of 1 mA is required to maintain proper
operation. If the load current falls below that level, the boot-
strap capacitor may discharge during the long off-time, and
the circuit will either shutdown, or cycle on and off at a low
frequency. If the load current is expected to drop below 1 mA
in the application, the feedback resistors should be chosen
low enough in value so they provide the minimum required
current at nominal Vout.
PC BOARD LAYOUT
The LM5009 regulation and over-voltage comparators are
very fast, and as such will respond to short duration noise
pulses. Layout considerations are therefore critical for opti-
mum performance. The components at pins 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6
should be as physically close as possible to the IC, thereby
minimizing noise pickup in the PC tracks. The current loop
formed by D1, L1, and C2 should be as small as possible. The
ground connection from C2 to C1 should be as short and di-
rect as possible.
If the internal dissipation of the LM5009 produces excessive
junction temperatures during normal operation, good use of
the pc board’s ground plane can help considerably to dissi-
pate heat. The exposed pad on the bottom of the LLP-8
package can be soldered to a ground plane on the PC board,
and that plane should extend out from beneath the IC to help
dissipate the heat. Additionally, the use of wide PC board
traces, where possible, can also help conduct heat away from
the IC. Judicious positioning of the PC board within the end
product, along with use of any available air flow (forced or
natural convection) can help reduce the junction tempera-
tures.
