7.3 Power Supply Recommendations

The LMG5126 is designed to operate over a wide input voltage range. The characteristics of the input supply must be compatible with the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Recommended Operating Conditions. In addition, the input supply must be capable of delivering the required input current to the fully loaded regulator. Use Equation 95 to estimate the average input current.

Equation 95. II= POVIη

where

  • η the efficiency.

One way to get a value for the efficiency is the data from the efficiency graphs in Section 7.2.4.1 in the worst case operation mode. For most applications, the boost operation is the region of highest input current.

If the device is connected to an input supply through long wires or PCB traces with a large impedance, take special care to achieve stable performance. The parasitic inductance and resistance of the input cables can have an adverse effect on converter operation. The parasitic inductance in combination with the low-ESR ceramic input capacitors form an under-damped resonant circuit. This circuit can cause overvoltage transients at VI each time the input supply is cycled ON and OFF. The parasitic resistance causes the input voltage to dip during a load transient. One way to solve such issues is to reduce the distance from the input supply to the regulator and use an aluminum or tantalum input capacitor in parallel with the ceramics. The moderate ESR of the electrolytic capacitors helps to damp the input resonant circuit and reduce any voltage overshoots. An EMI input filter is often used in front of the converter power stage. Unless carefully designed, the EMI input filter can lead to instability as well as some of the previously mentioned affects.
