DESCRIPTION
The LM20154 is a full featured 1 MHz synchronous
buck regulator capable of delivering up to 4A 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.
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.
The LM20154 features an open drain SYNCOUT pin
which provides an external clock that matches the
switching frequency of the device but is shifted by
180 degrees.
The LM20154 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 LM20154 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.
The LM20154 is offered in an exposed pad 16-pin
HTSSOP package that can be soldered to the PCB,
eliminating the need for bulky heatsinks.
