7.3.3 High Voltage VCC Regulator

The LM25185 has an internal wide input VCC regulator that provides the bias supply for the PWM controller and the gate driver for the external power MOSFET. The VCC regulator is sourced from VIN pin and allows a wide input range from 4.5 V to 42 V. When the input voltage is below the VCC setpoint level, the VCC voltage tracks VIN minus a small voltage drop.

At power up, the VCC regulator sources current into the capacitor connected at the VCC pin. When the VCC voltage exceeds 4.25 V (typical) and the EN/UVLO pin voltage is greater than 1.5 V (typical), the soft-start sequence begins. The output remains active unless the VCC voltage falls below the VCC UVLO falling threshold of 3.9 V (typical) or EN/UVLO is switched to a low state. Connect a ceramic capacitor from VCC to PGND. The recommended range of VCC capcitor is from 1 µF to 4.7 µF.

The LM25185 has an external VCC supply feature that reduces input quiescent current and increases efficiency. When the external VCC supply voltage is greater than the VCC regulation target, the external VCC supply powers the VCC. This external supply can be an external voltage source or from a transformer auxiliary winding as shown in Figure 7-3.The VIN pin voltage must be greater than the VCC voltage when external VCC is used.
