3 Description
The LM51501-Q1 is a wide input range automatic
boost controller. The device can be used to maintain
a stable output voltage during automotive cranking
from a vehicle battery or from a back-up battery.

•
Functional Safety-Capable
–
Documentation available to aid functional
safety system design
Wide VIN input range from 1.5 V to 42 V when
VOUT ≥ 5 V (65-V absolute maximum)
The LM51501-Q1 switching frequency is programmed
by a resistor from 220 kHz to 2.3 MHz. Fast switching
(≥ 2.2-MHz) minimizes AM band interference and
allows for a small solution size and fast transient
response.
•
•
•
Low shutdown current (IQ ≤ 5 µA)
Low standby current (IQ ≤ 15 µA)
Four programmable output voltage options and
two selectable configurations
The LM51501-Q1 operates in low IQ standby mode
when the input or output voltage is above the preset
standby thresholds and automatically wakes up when
the output voltage drops below the preset wake-up
threshold.
–
–
6.0 V, 6.5 V, 9.5 V, or 11.5 V
Start-stop or e-Call configurations
•
Adjustable switching frequency from 220 kHz to
2.3 MHz
The device transitions in and out of the low IQ
standby mode to extend battery life at light load. A
single resistor programs the target output regulation
voltage as well as the configuration. Additional
features include low shutdown current, boost status
indicator, adjustable cycle-by-cycle current limit, and
thermal shutdown. Status indicator can be used to
control a circuit to bypass the diode when the part is
not boosting in order to reduce power dissipation. In
E-call mode, it can be used to control a disconnect
switch to protect the back-up-battery.
