7.4.1 MODE Control (Forced-PWM Mode and Diode-Emulation Mode)

A fully synchronous boost regulator implemented with a high-side switch rather than a diode has the capability to sink current from the output in certain conditions such as light load, overvoltage, or load transient. The LM5122ZA can be configured to operate in either forced-PWM mode (FPWM) or diode emulation mode.

In FPWM, reverse current flow in high-side N-channel MOSFET switch is allowed, and the inductor current conducts continuously at light or no load conditions. The benefit of the FPWM mode is fast light load to heavy load transient response and constant frequency operation at light or no load conditions. To enable FPWM, connect the MODE pin to VCC or tie to a voltage greater than 1.2 V. In FPWM, reverse current flow is not limited.

In diode-emulation mode, current flow in the high-side switch is only permitted in one direction (source to drain). Turnon of the high-side switch is allowed if CSP to CSN voltage is greater than 7 mV rising threshold of zero current detection during low-side switch on-time. If CSP to CSN voltage is less than 6-mV falling threshold of zero current detection during high-side switch on-time, reverse current flow from output to input through the high-side N-channel MOSFET switch is prevented and discontinuous conduction mode of operation is enabled by latching off the high-side N-channel MOSFET switch for the remainder of the PWM cycle. A benefit of the diode emulation is lower power loss at light load conditions.

LM5122ZA Mode Selection.gifFigure 25. MODE Selection

During start-up the LM5122ZA forces diode emulation, for start-up into a pre-biased load, while the SS pin voltage is less than 1.2 V. Forced diode emulation is terminated by a pulse from the PWM comparator when SS is greater than 1.2 V. If there are no LO pulses during the soft-start period, a 350-ns one-shot LO pulse is forced at the end of soft start to help charge the boot strap capacitor. Due to the internal current sense delay, configuring the LM5122ZA for diode emulation mode must be carefully evaluated if the inductor current ripple ratio is high and when operating at very high switching frequency. The transient performance during full load to no load in FPWM mode should also be verified.
