The LM5121 is a synchronous boost controller intended for high-efficiency, high-power boost regulator applications. The control method is based upon peak current mode control. Current mode control provides inherent line feed-forward, cycle-by-cycle current limiting and ease of loop compensation.
The switching frequency is programmable up to 1 MHz. Higher efficiency is achieved using two robust N-channel MOSFET gate drivers with adaptive dead-time control. A user-selectable diode emulation mode enables discontinuous mode operation for improved efficiency at light load conditions.
The LM5121 provides disconnection switch control which completely disconnects the output from the input during an output short or a shutdown condition. During start-up sequence, inrush current is limited by the disconnection switch control.
An internal charge pump allows 100% duty cycle operation of the high-side synchronous switch (Bypass operation). Additional features include thermal shutdown, frequency synchronization, hiccup mode current limit and adjustable line undervoltage lockout.
