LM5160A, LM5160 User’s Guide

1 Introduction

The Texas Instruments LM5160DNTBKEVM evaluation module (EVM) helps designers evaluate the

operation and performance of the LM5160A / LM5160 synchronous buck regulator IC in a synchronous

Buck configuration. It also includes the specification for the board, complete application schematic, bill of

materials (BOM), setup instructions, and typical performance curves.

2 Background

The LM5160DNTBKEVM evaluation board provides a fully functional buck regulator, employing the

constant on-time (COT) operating principle. This evaluation board provides a 5-V output over an input

voltage range of 10 V to 60 V. The circuit delivers load current up to 1.5 A. The application schematic is

setup up to operate from a 24 V nominal bus. The nominal switching frequency is approximately 300 kHz.

The LM5160 device name is used generically throughout this document and represents both the LM5160

and LM5160A unless stated otherwise. The only difference between the two is the ability to connect an

external voltage source to the VCC pin of the LM5160A. The board is designed to demonstrate a small

buck solution size for low power wide VIN applications.

3 Setup

This section describes the connectors, the test points and the jumper on the EVM as well as how to

properly connect and use the LM5160DNTBKEVM with the LM5160, unless stated otherwise.

3.1 Input/Output Connector Description

J1 – Input is the power input terminal for the converter. The terminal block provides an input VIN (+) and

ground (-) connection to allow the user to attach the EVM to a power supply.

J2 – Output is the regulated output voltage for the converter. The terminal block provides a VOUT (+) and

ground (-) connection to allow the user to attach the EVM to a load.

TP1 – (EN) allows the user to remotely shutdown/startup LM5160 while operating in the buck mode. EN

circuitry is not populated on EVM.

TP2 – (SW) allows the user to connect a scope probe to observe the switch node of the converter.

JP1 –Mode pin allows the user to select between the forced CCM and the DCM operation.

3.2 Operation

For proper operation of the LM5160 Buck converter, the input voltage applied across J1 should be

gradually increased. The load on the output (J2) should not exceed 1.5 A. The inductor L1 utilized in this

board is optimized for small solution size. The saturation current rating (ISAT) of the inductor should be

higher than the LM5160 integrated high side FET peak current-limit threshold of 2.875 A (max.).

The nominal switching frequency can be set using the RON (R3 in the EVM) resistor as shown by

Equation 1:

The output voltage is set by using the feedback divider resistors R7 (RFB1) and R6 (RFB2) in the EVM by

using Equation 2:

The EN/UVLO resistors R2 (RUV1) and R1 (RUV2) in the EVM set the input under-voltage lockout threshold

and hysteresis according to Equation 3:

3.3 FPWM Mode Selection

Use the FPWM pin to select between the continuous conduction mode (CCM) and the discontinuous

conduction mode (DCM) of operation. Table 1 summarizes the LM5160NDTBKEVM Jumper (JP1) settings

that are chosen to activate the desired mode of operation. Refer to the LM5160 datasheet (SNVSA03A)

for more detailed information regarding the FPWM mode selection.

Figure 3. EVM Bottom Copper View with LM5160A Figure 4. EVM Top Solder Mask with LM5160A

Figure 1 to Figure 4 show the board layout for the LM5160DNTBKEVM PCB. The WSON-12 package

allows a compact leadless IC package buck regulator solution. The LM5160DNTBKEVM is a simple two

layer board. In this EVM, the necessary feedback ripple voltage ( VFB ) required for stable COT operation

over the entire input voltage range is generated by the inductor current flowing through the resistor, RESR

(R8 as shown in Figure 1). This is the least component, minimum cost ripple configuration. There are

placeholders in the EVM ( R7, C6, and C7) which can be populated as required, for the minimum ripple

injection network. If this external ripple configuration is used, substitute R8 with a 0Ω(0805) resistor.

Calculate these component values based on the formulae mentioned under Type 3 ripple configuration in

the LM5160, LM5160A Datasheet (SNVSA03A). See application note AN-1481 for more details for each

ripple generation method.

5 Schematic

Figure 5. Buck EVM Schematic with LM5160

When/If used with LM5160, the placeholder for D1 as in Figure 1, must remain unpopulated under all

cases. When evaluating the LM5160A, the designer needs to use the same standard EVM by replacing

the LM5160 IC (when/if populated) with the LM5160A. No other components on board need to be

replaced or removed. With LM5160A IC, the designer can use other nominal output voltage (VOUT), set

between 9 V and 13 V, to externally drive the VCC for improved efficiency requirement. In that case, the

diode in placeholder D1 can be appropriately populated, to the correct voltage ratings. More detail is given

in Section 6 in the Bill of Materials. For more information about the difference between LM5160A and

LM5160, please refer to the LM5160 Datasheet (SNVSA03A).
