FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LM20125 is a full featured 500 kHz synchronous
buck regulator capable of delivering up to 5A of
continuous output current. The current mode control
loop can be compensated to be stable with virtually
any type of output capacitor. For most cases,
compensating the device only requires two external
components, providing maximum flexibility and ease
of use. The device is optimized to work over the input
voltage range of 2.95V to 5.5V making it suited for a
wide variety of low voltage systems.

32 mΩ Integrated FET Switches
Starts up into Pre-Biased Loads
Output Voltage Tracking
The device features internal over voltage protection
(OVP) and over current protection (OCP) circuits for
increased system reliability. A precision enable pin
and integrated UVLO allows the turn-on of the device
to be tightly controlled and sequenced. Start-up
inrush currents are limited by both an internally fixed
and externally adjustable Soft-Start circuit. Fault
detection and supply sequencing is possible with the
integrated power good circuit.
Peak Current Mode Control
Adjustable Output Voltage Down to 0.8V
Adjustable Soft-Start with External Capacitor
Precision Enable Pin with Hysteresis
Integrated OVP, UVLO, Power Good and
Thermal Shutdown
The LM20125 is designed to work well in multi-rail
power supply architectures. The output voltage of the
device can be configured to track a higher voltage rail
using the SS/TRK pin. If the output of the LM20125 is
pre-biased at startup it will not sink current to pull the
output low until the internal soft-start ramp exceeds
the voltage at the feedback pin.
