PRODUCTION DATA
While dependent on switching frequency and load current levels, the LM65680/60/40 buck converter is generally capable of providing an output voltage in the range of 0.8V to a maximum of slightly less than the input voltage. The rated maximum output voltage is 60V. The LM65680/60/40 features pin-selectable fixed and adjustable output voltage settings.
Connect FB to VCC or PGND to select a fixed 5V or 3.3V output, respectively, and connect BIAS directly to the regulator output for output voltage sensing. As such, BIAS closes the voltage feedback loop and provides power to the internal VCC subregulator.
Alternatively, define the output voltage setpoint with feedback resistors designated as RFB1 and RFB2, as shown in Figure 7-1. The LM65680/60/40 has a 0.8V reference, and the internal voltage-loop error amplifier regulates the FB voltage to be equal to this reference voltage. Use Equation 3 to determine RFB2 for a desired output voltage setpoint and a given value of RFB1.
Make sure that the selected values for RFB1 and RFB2 meet the requirement set by Equation 4. Best practice is to choose a value for RFB1 lower than 200kΩ, as higher values of resistance are often susceptible to parasitic leakage currents (for example, caused by environmental contamination of the PCB) that can shift the desired output voltage. In cases where leakage currents are not significant, use feedback resistances as high as 1MΩ to reduce the no-load current consumption and improve light-load efficiency. With the adjustable output setting, a feedforward capacitor in parallel with the upper feedback resistor is an option to improve the loop phase margin.
