LM25088
Wide Input Range Non-Synchronous Buck Controller
General Description
Features
The LM25088 high voltage non-synchronous buck controller
features all the necessary functions to implement an efficient
high voltage buck converter using a minimum number of ex-
ternal components. The LM25088 can be configured to op-
erate over an ultra-wide input voltage range of 4.5V to 42V.
This easy to use controller includes a level shifted gate driver
capable of controlling an external N-channel buck switch. The
control method is based upon peak current mode control uti-
lizing an emulated current ramp. The use of an emulated
control ramp reduces noise sensitivity of the pulse-width mod-
ulation circuit, allowing reliable control of very small duty
cycles necessary in high input voltage/low output voltage ap-
plications. The LM25088 switching frequency is pro-
grammable from 50 kHz to 1 MHz.

Single resistor oscillator frequency setting
Oscillator synchronization capability
The LM25088 is available in two versions: The LM25088-1
provides a +/-5% frequency dithering function to reduce the
conducted and radiated EMI, while the LM25088-2 provides
a versatile restart timer for overload protection. Additional
features include a low dropout bias regulator, tri-level enable
input to control shutdown and standby modes, soft-start and
oscillator synchronization capability. The device is available
in a thermally enhanced TSSOP-16EP pin package.
