LO | 11 | O | Low-side gate driver output. Connect directly to the gate of the low-side N-channel MOSFET through a short, low inductance path. |
MODE | 12 | I | Device switching mode (FPWM, diode emulation, or skip) selection pin. The device is configured to skip mode if the pin is open or if a resistor that is greater than 500 kΩ is connected from the pin to AGND during initial power-on. The device is configured to FPWM mode by connecting the pin to VCC or if the pin voltage is greater than 2.0 V during power-on. The device is configured to diode emulation mode by connecting the pin to ground or the pin voltage is less than 0.4 V during initial power-on. The switching mode can be dynamically programmed between the FPWM and the DE mode during operation. |
UVLO/EN | 13 | I | Enable pin. The pin enables/disables the device. If the pin is less than 0.35 V, the device shuts down. The pin must be raised above 0.65 V to enable the device. |
Undervoltage lockout programming pin. The converter start-up and shutdown levels can be programmed by connecting the pin to the supply voltage through a resistor voltage divider. The low-side UVLO resistor must be connected to AGND. Connect to BIAS if not used. | |||
SYNC/DITHER/VH/CP | 14 | I/O | Synchronization clock input. The internal oscillator can be synchronized to an external clock during operation. Connect to AGND if not used. |
Clock dithering/spread spectrum modulation frequency programming pin. If a capacitor is connected between the pin and AGND, the clock dithering/spread spectrum function is activated. During the dithering operation, the capacitor is charged and discharged with an internal 20-μA current source/sink. As the voltage on the pin ramps up and down, the oscillator frequency is modulated between –6% and +5% of the nominal frequency set by the RT resistor. The clock dithering/spread spectrum can be deactivated during operation by pulling down the pin to ground. | |||
VCC hold pin. If the pin is greater than 2.0 V, the device holds the VCC pin voltage when the EN pin is grounded, which helps to restart fast without reconfiguration. | |||
Charge pump enable pin. If the pin is greater than 2.0 V, the internal charge pump maintains the HB pin voltage above its HB UVLO threshold for bypass operation, which allows the high-side switch to turn on 100% during bypass operation. | |||
RT | 15 | I | Switching frequency setting pin. If no external clock is applied to the SYNC pin, the switching frequency is programmed by a single resistor between the pin and AGND. Switching frequency is dynamically programmable during operation. |
VREF/RANGE | 16 | I/O | 1.0-V internal reference voltage output. Connect a 470-pF capacitor from the pin to AGND. The VOUT regulation target can be programmed by connecting a resistor voltage divider from the pin to TRK. The resistance from the pin to AGND must be always greater than 20 kΩ if used. Connect the low-side resistor of the divider to AGND. |
VOUT range selection pin. Lower VOUT range (5 V to 20 V) is selected if the resistance from the pin to AGND is in the range of 75 kΩ and 100 kΩ during initial power-on. Upper VOUT range (15 V to 57 V) is selected if the resistance from the pin to AGND is in the range of 20 kΩ and 35 kΩ during initial power-on. Boost converter output voltage can be dynamically programmed within the pre-programmed range. The accuracy of the output voltage regulation is specified within the selected range. | |||
SS | 17 | I/O | Soft-start time programming pin. An external capacitor and an internal current source set the ramp rate of the internal error amplifier reference during soft start. The device forces diode emulation during soft-start time. |
TRK | 18 | I | Output regulation target programming pin. The VOUT regulation target can be programmed by connecting the pin to VREF through a resistor voltage divider or by controlling the pin voltage directly from a D/A. The recommended operating range of the pin is from 0.25 V to 1.0 V. |
AGND | 19 | G | Analog ground pin. Connect to the analog ground plane through a wide and short path. |
COMP | 20 | O | Output of the internal transconductance error amplifier. Connect the loop compensation components between the pin and AGND. |
EP | — | Exposed pad of the package. The EP must be soldered to a large analog ground plane to reduce thermal resistance. |

The LM5123-Q1 device is a wide input range synchronous boost controller that employs peak current mode control. The device features a low shutdown IQ and a low IQ sleep mode, which minimizes battery drain at no/light load condition. The device also supports an ultra-low IQ deep sleep mode with bypass operation, which eliminates the need for an external bypass switch when the supply voltage is greater than the boost output regulation target. The output voltage can be dynamically programmed by using the tracking function.
The wide input range of the device supports automotive cold-crank and load dump. The minimum input voltage can be as low as 0.8 V when BIAS is equal to or greater than 3.8 V. The switching frequency is dynamically programmed with an external resistor from 100 kHz to 2.2 MHz. Switching at 2.2 MHz minimizes AM band interference and allows for a small solution size and fast transient response. Controller architecture simplifies thermal management at harsh ambient temperature conditions when compared to converter architectures.
The device has built-in protection features such as peak current limit, which is constant over VIN, overvoltage protection, and thermal shutdown. External clock synchronization, programmable spread spectrum modulation, and a lead-less package with minimal parasitic, help reduce EMI and avoid cross talk. Additional features include the following:
Read through Section 8.4 before reading the feature description of the device. It is recommended to understand which device functional modes and what type of light load switching modes are supported by the device.
The parameters or thresholds values mentioned in this section are reference values unless otherwise specified. Refer to the Electrical Characteristics to find the minimum, maximum, and typical values.
The device shuts down when EN is less than the EN threshold (VEN) and VH is less than the SYNC threshold (VSYNC). The device is enabled when EN is greater than VEN or VH is greater than VSYNC. The VH pin provides a 40-μs internal delay before the device shuts down.
During shutdown a 33-kΩ internal pulldown resistor on the EN pin is connected to GND to prevent a false turn-on when the pin is floating. Once EN goes above the EN threshold (VEN), the 33-kΩ resistor is disconnected and the IUVLO-HYS current source is enabled to provide the UVLO functionality. The IUVLO-HYS current is designed to avoid chatter around the EN threshold voltage.
The device features a high voltage 5-V VCC regulator, which is sourced from the BIAS pin. The internal VCC regulator turns on 50 μs after the device is enabled, and 120-μs device configuration starts when VCC is above VCC UVLO threshold (VVCC-UVLO). The device configuration is reset when the device shuts down or VCC falls down below 2.2 V. The preferred way to reconfigure the device is to shut down the device. During configuration time, the light load switching mode and VOUT range are selected.
The high voltage VCC regulator allows the connection of the BIAS pin directly to supply voltages from 3.8 V to 42 V. When BIAS is less than the 5-V VCC regulation target (VVCC-REG), the VCC output tracks the BIAS pin voltage with a small dropout voltage which is caused by 1.7-Ω resistance of the VCC regulator.
The recommended VCC capacitor value is 4.7 μF. The VCC capacitor should be populated between VCC and PGND as close to the device. The recommended BIAS capacitor value is 1.0 μF. The BIAS capacitor must be populated between BIAS and PGND close to the device.
The VCC regulator features a VCC current limit function that prevents device damage when the VCC pin is shorted to ground accidentally. The minimum sourcing capability of the VCC regulator is 100 mA (IVCC-CL) during either the device configuration time or active mode operation. The minimum sourcing capability of the VCC regulator is reduced to 1 mA during sleep mode or deep sleep mode, or when EN is less than VEN and VH is greater than VSYNC. The VCC regulator supplies the internal drivers and other internal circuits. The external MOSFETs must be carefully selected to make the driver current consumption less than IVCC-CL. The driver current consumption can be calculated in Equation 1.
where
If VIN operation below 3.8 V is required, the BIAS pin must be connected to the output of the boost converter (VLOAD). By connecting the BIAS pin to VLOAD, the boost converter input voltage (VSUPPLY) can drop down to 0.8 V if BIAS is greater than 3.8 V. See Section 8.3.17 for more detailed information about the minimum VSUPPLY.
The light load switching mode is selected during the device configuration. The device is configured to skip mode when the MODE pin is floating or a resistor that is greater than 500 kΩ is connected between MODE and AGND during the device configuration. Once the device is configured to skip mode, the light load switching mode cannot be changed until reconfiguring the device.
If the MODE pin voltage is less than 0.4 V (VMODE-FALLING) or grounded during the device configuration, the device is configured to diode emulation (DE) mode. If the MODE pin voltage is greater than 2.0 V (VMODE-RISING) or connected to VCC during the device configuration, the device is configured to forced PWM (FPWM) mode. If the device is configured to DE or FPWM mode, the light load switching mode can be dynamically changed between DE and FPWM modes during operation without reconfiguration.
The programmable VOUT range is selected during the device configuration and it cannot be changed until the user reconfigures the device. Lower VOUT range (5 V to 20 V) is selected if the resistance from VREF to AGND (RVREFT + RVREFB) is in the range of 75 kΩ to 100 kΩ during the device configuration. Upper VOUT range (15 V to 57 V) is selected if the resistance from VREF to AGND is in the range of 20 kΩ to 35 kΩ during the device configuration. The accuracy of the VOUT regulation is specified within the selected range.
When UVLO is greater than the UVLO threshold (VUVLO), the device enters active mode if the device configuration is finished. UVLO hysteresis is accomplished with an internal 25-mV voltage hysteresis (VUVLO-HYS) at the UVLO pin, and an additional 10-μA current sink (IUVLO-HYS) that is switched on or off. When the UVLO pin voltage exceeds VUVLO, the current sink is disabled to quickly raise the voltage at the UVLO pin. When the UVLO pin voltage falls below VUVLO or during the device configuration time, the current sink is enabled, causing the voltage at the UVLO pin to fall quickly.
The external UVLO resistor voltage divider (RUVLOT, RUVLOB) must be designed so that the voltage at the UVLO pin is greater than VUVLO when VSUPPLY is in the desired operating range. The values of RUVLOT and RUVLOB can be calculated as follows.
A UVLO capacitor (CUVLO) is required in case VSUPPLY drops below VSUPPLY-OFF momentarily during the start-up or during a severe load transient at the low input voltage. If the required UVLO capacitor is large, an additional series UVLO resistor (RUVLOS) can be used to quickly raise the voltage at the UVLO pin when IUVLO-HYS is disabled.
The UVLO pin can be connected to the BIAS pin if not used. Drive the UVLO pin through a minimum of a 5-kΩ resistor if the BIAS pin voltage is less than the UVLO pin voltage in any conditions.
The device is prepared for a fast start or restart when VH is greater than VSYNC. The device configuration is done and the VCC regulator is active. The device stops switching, but keeps the VCC regulator active when EN is less than VEN and VH is greater than VSYNC (see Figure 8-5).
The VOUT regulation target (VOUT-REG) is adjustable by programming the TRK pin voltage, which is the reference of the internal error amplifier. The accuracy of VOUT-REG is given when the TRK voltage is between 0.25 V and 1.0 V. The high impedance TRK pin allows users to program the pin voltage directly by a D/A converter or by connecting to a resistor voltage divider (RVREFT, RVREFB) between VREF and AGND.
The device provides a 1-V voltage reference (VREF), which can be used to program the TRK pin voltage through a resistor voltage divider. It is not recommended to use VREF as a reference voltage of an external circuit because the device periodically disables VREF in sleep or deep sleep mode. For stability reasons, the VREF capacitor (CVREF) should be between 330 pF and 1 nF. 470 pF is recommended.
When RVREFT and RVREFB are used to program the TRK pin voltage, VOUT-REG can be calculated as follows.
Lower VOUT RangeThe TRK pin voltage can be dynamically programmed in active mode, which makes an envelope tracking power supply design easy. When designing a tracking power supply, it is required to adjust the TRK pin voltage slow enough so that the VOUT pin voltage can track the command and the internal overvoltage or undervoltage comparator is not triggered during the transient operation. An RC filter must be used at the TRK pin to slow down the slew rate of the command signal at the TRK pin, especially when a step input is applied. When a trapezoidal or sinusoidal input is applied, the slew rate or the frequency of the command signal must be limited.
In FPWM operation, VOUT-REG tracks the TRK pin voltage immediately as well during deep sleep mode. While in skip or diode mode operation, VOUT-REG tracks the TRK pin voltage pin voltage with a maximum of a 20 ms delay during deep sleep mode to save power. Take extra care when programming TRK if VSUPPLY is greater than VOUT-REG in any conditions. The device enters active mode with a 5-μs delay if VLOAD falls down below VOUT-REG in deep sleep mode, but the device enters active mode with maximum of a 20 ms delay if VOUT-REG is increased by TRK above VLOAD in deep sleep mode.
The device provides an overvoltage protection (OVP) for boost converter output. The OVP comparator monitors the VOUT pin through an internal resistor voltage resistors. If the VOUT pin voltage rises above the overvoltage threshold (VOVTH), OVP is activated. When OVP is triggered, the device turns off the low-side driver and turns on the high-side driver until zero current is detected in diode emulation or skip mode. In FPWM mode, the low-side driver is not turned off when the OVP is triggered.
After at least 40 μs in OVP status, the device enters deep sleep mode and turns on the high-side driver 100%. The recommended VOUT capacitor (CVOUT) is 0.1 μF.
The device provides a power-good indicator (PGOOD) to simplify sequencing and supervision. PGOOD is an open-drain output and a pullup resistor between 5 kΩ and 100 kΩ can be externally connected. The PGOOD switch opens when the VOUT pin voltage is greater than the undervoltage threshold (VUVTH). The PGOOD pin is pulled down to ground when the VOUT pin voltage is less than VUVTH, UVLO is less than VUVLO, VCC is less than VVCC-UVLO, or during thermal shutdown. A 26-μs rising and 21-μs falling deglitch filter prevents any false pulldown of the PGOOD due to transients. The PGOOD pin voltage cannot be greater than VVOUT + 0.3 V.
