Synchronous Rectifier

The LM5163-Q1 provides an internal low-side synchronous rectifier N-channel MOSFET. This MOSFET provides a low-resistance path for the inductor current to flow when the high-side MOSFET is turned off.

The synchronous rectifier operates in a diode emulation mode. Diode emulation enables the regulator to operate in a pulse-skipping mode during light load conditions. This mode leads to a reduction in the average switching frequency at light loads. Switching losses and FET gate driver losses, both of which are proportional to switching frequency, are significantly reduced at very light loads and efficiency is improved. This pulse-skipping mode also reduces the circulating inductor current and losses associated with conventional CCM at light loads.
