6.3.1 Input Voltage Range (VIN )

The LM25139-Q1 operational input voltage range is from 4V to 42V. The device is intended for step-down conversions from 12V and 24V automotive supply rails. The application circuit in Figure 6-1 shows all the necessary components to implement an LM25139-Q1 based wide-VIN step-down regulator using a single supply. The LM25139-Q1 uses an internal LDO subregulator to provide a 5V VCC bias rail for the gate drive and control circuits (assuming the input voltage is higher than 5V plus the necessary subregulator dropout specification).

In high input voltage applications, make sure the VIN and SW pins do not exceed the absolute maximum voltage rating of 45V during line or load transient events. Voltage excursions that exceed the Absolute Maximum Ratings can damage the IC. Proceed carefully during PCB board layout and use high-quality input bypass capacitors to minimize voltage overshoot and ringing.

LM25139-Q1 Typical Application Schematic Figure 6-1 Typical Application Schematic

As VIN approaches VOUT, the LM25139-Q1 skips tOFF cycles to allow the controller to extend the duty cycle up to approximately 99%. See also Figure 6-2.

Use Equation 1 to calculate when the LM25139-Q1 enters dropout mode.

  • tp is the oscillator frequency
  • tOFF is the minimum off time, typical 80ns
Equation 1. V I N m i n =   V O U T × t S W t S W +   t O F F ( m i n )
