FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LM25116 is a synchronous buck controller
intended for step-down regulator applications from a
high voltage or widely varying input supply. The
control method is based upon current mode control
utilizing an emulated current ramp. Current mode
control provides inherent line feed-forward, cycle by
cycle current limiting and ease of loop compensation.
The use of an emulated control ramp reduces noise
sensitivity of the pulse-width modulation circuit,
allowing reliable control of very small duty cycles
necessary in high input voltage applications. The
operating frequency is programmable from 50 kHz to
1 MHz. The LM25116 drives external high-side and
low-side NMOS power switches with adaptive dead-
time control. A user-selectable diode emulation mode
enables discontinuous mode operation for improved
efficiency at light load conditions. A low quiescent
current shutdown disables the controller and
consumes less than 10 µA of total input current.
