6.3.3 Regulation Comparator

The feedback voltage at FB is compared to an internal 1.2V Vref. The LM5164-Q1 voltage regulation loop regulates the output voltage by maintaining the FB voltage equal to VREF. A resistor divider programs the ratio from output voltage VOUT to FB.

For a target VOUT setpoint, use Equation 10 to calculate RFB2 based on the selected RFB1.

Equation 10. RFB2=1.2VVOUT-1.2V×RFB1

TI recommends selecting RFB1 in the range of 100kΩ to 1MΩ for most applications. A larger RFB1 consumes less DC current, which is mandatory if light-load efficiency is critical. RFB1 larger than 1MΩ is not recommended as the feedback path becomes more susceptible to noise. Route the feedback trace away from the noisy area of the PCB and keep the feedback resistors close to the FB pin.
