High-Voltage VCC Regulator

The LM5122ZA contains an internal high-voltage regulator that provides typical 7.6 V VCC bias supply for the controller and N-channel MOSFET drivers. The input of VCC regulator, VIN, can be connected to an input voltage source as high as 65 V. The VCC regulator turns on when the UVLO pin voltage is greater than 0.4 V. When the input voltage is below the VCC setpoint level, the VCC output tracks VIN with a small dropout voltage. The output of the VCC regulator is current limited at 50 mA minimum.

Upon power up, the VCC regulator sources current into the capacitor connected to the VCC pin. TI recommends a capacitance range for the VCC capacitor of 1 μF to 47 μF; capacitance at least 10 times greater than CBST value is also recommnded. When operating with a VIN voltage less than 6 V, the value of VCC capacitor must be 4.7 µF or greater.

The internal power dissipation of the LM5122ZA device can be reduced by supplying VCC from an external supply. If an external VCC bias supply exists and the voltage is greater than 9 V and below 14.5 V. The external VCC bias supply can be applied to the VCC pin directly through a diode, as shown in Figure 17.

A method to derive the VCC bias voltage with an additional winding on the boost inductor is shown in . This circuit must be designed to raise the VCC voltage above VCC regulation voltage to shut off the internal VCC regulator.

The VCC regulator series pass transistor includes a diode between VCC and VIN that must not be fully forward biased in normal operation, as shown in Figure 19. If the voltage of the external VCC bias supply is greater than the VIN pin voltage, an external blocking diode is required from the input power supply to the VIN pin to prevent the external bias supply from passing current to the input supply through VCC. The need for the blocking diode should be evaluated for all applications when the VCC is supplied by the external bias supply. Especially, when the input power supply voltage is less than 4.5 V, the external VCC supply should be provided and the external blocking diode is required.
