temperature
The LMR38020 synchronous buck converter is
designed to regulate over a wide input voltage range,
minimizing the need for external surge suppression
components. The LMR38020 operates during input
voltage dips as low as 4.2 V, at nearly 100% duty
cycle if needed, making it an excellent choice for wide
input industrial applications and MHEV/EV systems.
The LMR38020 uses precision enable to provide
flexibility by enabling a direct connection to the
wide input voltage or precise control over device
start-up and shutdown. The power-good flag, with
built-in filtering and delay, offers a true indication of
system status, eliminating the need for an external
supervisor. The device incorporates pseudo-random
spread spectrum form minimal EMI and switching
frequency can be configured between 200 kHz and
2.2 MHz to avoid noise sensitive frequency bands. In
addition, the frequency can be selected for improved
efficiency at low operating frequency or smaller
solution size at high operating frequency.
– Precision enable
– Easy to use with low BOM count
– Integrated synchronous rectification
– Internal compensation for ease of use
– 8-pin HSOIC with PowerPAD™ package
– PFM and forced PWM (FPWM) options

the WEBENCH® Power Designer
The device has built-in protection features, such as
cycle-by-cycle current limit, hiccup mode short-circuit
protection, and thermal shutdown in case of excessive
power dissipation. The LMR38020 is available in a
8-pin HSOIC PowerPAD™ package.
