LM51231-Q1

The LM51231-Q1 device is a wide input range synchronous boost controller that employs peak current mode control. The device’s wide input range supports automotive cold-crank and load dump. The minimum input voltage can be as low as 0.8 V when BIAS is equal to or greater than 3.8 V. The output voltage can be dynamically programmed by using the tracking function. Bypass mode operation is automatically entered when V_SUPPLY > V_LOAD, eliminating the body diode drop of the high-side MOSFET. The switching frequency is dynamically programmed with an external resistor from 100 kHz to 2.2 MHz. Switching at 2.2 MHz minimizes AM band interference and allows a small solution size and fast transient response.

The device has built-in protection features such as peak current limit, which is constant over V_SUPPLY, overvoltage protection, and thermal shutdown. External clock synchronization, programmable spread spectrum modulation, and a lead-less package with minimal parasitic, help to reduce EMI and avoid cross talk. Additional features include line UVLO, FPWM, diode emulation, DCR inductor current sensing, programmable soft start, and a power-good indicator
