3 Description
The LM5175 is a synchronous four-switch buck-boost
DC/DC controller capable of regulating the output
voltage at, above, or below the input voltage. The
LM5175 operates over a wide input voltage range of
3.5 V to 42 V (60 V maximum) to support a variety of
applications.
The LM5175 employs current-mode control both in
buck and boost modes of operation for superior load
and line regulation. The switching frequency is
programmed by an external resistor and can be
synchronized to an external clock signal.
The device also features a programmable soft-start
function and offers protection features including
cycle-by-cycle current limiting, input undervoltage
lockout (UVLO), output overvoltage protection (OVP),
and thermal shutdown. In addition, the LM5175
features selectable Continuous Conduction Mode
(CCM) or Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM)
operation, optional average input or output current
limiting, optional spread spectrum to reduce peak
EMI, and optional hiccup mode protection in
sustained overload conditions.

Pin Functions
PIN DESCRIPTION
NAME HTSSOP QFN
EN/UVLO 1 26 Enable pin. For EN/UVLO < 0.4 V, the LM5175 is in a low current shutdown mode. For 0.7 V <
EN/UVLO < 1.23 V, the controller operates in standby mode in which the VCC regulator is enabled but
the PWM controller is not switching. For EN/UVLO > 1.23 V, the PWM function is enabled, provided
VCC exceeds the VCC UV threshold.
VIN 2 27 The input supply pin to the IC. Connect VIN to a supply voltage between 3.5 V and 42 V.
VISNS 3 28 VIN sense input. Connect to the input capacitor.
MODE 4 1
Mode = GND, DCM, Hiccup Disabled (Set RMODE resistor to GND = 0 )
Mode = 1.00 V, DCM, Hiccup Enabled (Set RMODE resistor to GND = 49.9 k)
Mode = 1.85 V, CCM, Hiccup Enabled (Set RMODE resistor to GND = 93.1 k)
Mode = VCC, CCM, Hiccup Disabled (Set RMODE resistor to VCC = 0 )
DITH 5 2 A capacitor connected between the DITH pin and AGND is charged and discharged with a 10 uA
current source. As the voltage on the DITH pin ramps up and down the oscillator frequency is
modulated between –5% and +5% of the nominal frequency set by the RT resistor. Grounding the
DITH pin will disable the dithering feature. In the external Sync mode, the DITH pin voltage is ignored.
RT/SYNC 6 3 Switching frequency programming pin. An external resistor is connected to the RT/SYNC pin and
AGND to set the switching frequency. This pin can also be used to synchronize the PWM controller to
an external clock.
SLOPE 7 4 A capacitor connected between the SLOPE pin and AGND provides the slope compensation ramp for
stable current mode operation in both buck and boost mode.
SS 8 5 Soft-start programming pin. A capacitor between the SS pin and AGND pin programs soft-start time.
COMP 9 6 Output of the error amplifier. An external RC network connected between COMP and AGND
compensates the regulator feedback loop.
AGND 10 7 Analog ground of the IC.
FB 11 8 Feedback pin for output voltage regulation. Connect a resistor divider network from the output of the
converter to the FB pin.
VOSNS 12 9 VOUT sense input. Connect to the output capacitor.
ISNS(–)
ISNS(+) 13
14 10
11
Input or Output Current Sense Amplifier inputs. An optional current sense resistor connected between
ISNS(+) and ISNS(–) can be located either on the input side or on the output side of the converter. If
the sensed voltage across the ISNS(+) and ISNS(-) pins reaches 50 mV, a slow Constant Current (CC)
control loop becomes active and starts discharging the soft-start capacitor to regulated the drop across
ISNS(+) and ISNS(-) to 50 mV. Short ISNS(+) and ISNS(-) together to disable this feature.
CSG 15 12 The negative or ground input to the PWM current sense amplifier. Connect directly to the low-side
(ground) of the current sense resistor.
CS 16 13 The positive input to the PWM current sense amplifier.
PGOOD 17 14 Power Good open drain output. PGOOD is pulled low when FB is outside a 0.8 V ±10% regulation
window.
SW2
SW1 18
28 15
25 The boost and the buck side switching nodes respectively.
HDRV2
HDRV1 19
27 16
24 Output of the high-side gate drivers. Connect directly to the gates of the high-side MOSFETs.
BOOT2
BOOT1 20
26 17
23 An external capacitor is required between the BOOT1, BOOT2 pins and the SW1, SW2 pins
respectively to provide bias to the high-side MOSFET gate drivers.
LDRV2
LDRV1 21
25 18
22 Output of the low-side gate drivers. Connect directly to the gates of the low-side MOSFETs.
PGND 22 19 Power ground of the IC. The high current ground connection to the low-side gate drivers.
VCC 23 20 Output of the VCC bias regulator. Connect capacitor to ground.
BIAS 24 21 Optional input to the VCC bias regulator. Powering VCC from an external supply instead of VIN can
reduce power loss at high VIN. For VBIAS > 8 V, the VCC regulator draws power from the BIAS pin. The
BIAS pin voltage must not exceed 40 V.
PowerPAD
- - The PowerPAD should be soldered to the analog ground. If possible, use thermal vias to connect to a
PCB ground plane for improved power dissipation.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The LM5175 is a wide input voltage four-switch buck-boost controller IC with integrated drivers for N-channel
MOSFETs. It operates in the buck mode when VIN is greater than VOUT and in the boost mode when VIN is less
than VOUT. When VIN is close to VOUT, the device operates in a proprietary transition buck or boost mode. The
control scheme provides smooth operation for any input/output combination within the specified operating range.
The buck or boost transition control scheme provides a low ripple output voltage when VIN equals VOUT without
compromising the efficiency.
The LM5175 integrates four N-Channel MOSFET drivers including two low-side drivers and two high-side drivers,
eliminating the need for external drivers or floating bias supplies. The internal VCC regulator supplies internal
bias rails as well as the MOSFET gate drivers. The VCC regulator is powered either from the input voltage
through the VIN pin or from the output or an external supply through the BIAS pin for improved efficiency.
The PWM control scheme is based on valley current mode control for buck operation and peak current mode
control for boost operation. The inductor current is sensed through a single sense resistor in series with the low-
side MOSFETs. The sensed current is also monitored for cycle-by-cycle current limit. The behavior of the
LM5175 during an overload condition is dependent on the MODE pin programming (see MODE Pin
Configuration). If hiccup mode fault protection is selected, the controller turns off after a fixed number of
switching cycles in cycle-by-cycle current limit and restarts after another fixed number of clock cycles. The hiccup
mode reduces the heating in the power components in a sustained overload condition. If hiccup mode is disabled
through the MODE pin, the controller remains in a cycle-by-cycle current limit condition until the overload is
removed. The MODE pin also selects continuous conduction mode (CCM) for noise sensitive applications or
discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) for higher light load efficiency.
In addition to the cycle-by-cycle current limiting, the LM5175 also provides an optional average current regulation
loop that can be configured for either input or output current limiting. This is useful for battery charging or other
applications where a constant current behavior may be required.
The soft-start time of LM5175 is programmed by a capacitor connected to the SS pin to minimize the inrush
current and overshoot during startup.
The precision EN/UVLO pin supports programmable input undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with hysteresis. The
output overvoltage protection (OVP) feature turns off the high-side drivers when the voltage at the FB pin is 7.5%
above the nominal 0.8-V VREF. The PGOOD output indicates when the FB voltage is inside a ±10% regulation
window centered at VREF.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Fixed Frequency Valley/Peak Current Mode Control with Slope Compensation
The LM5175 implements a fixed frequency current mode control of both the buck and boost switches. The output
voltage, scaled down by the feedback resistor divider, appears at the FB pin and is compared to the internal
reference (VREF) by an internal error amplifier. The error amplifier produces an error voltage by driving the COMP
pin. An adaptive slope compensation signal based on VIN, VOUT, and the capacitor at the SLOPE pin is added to
the current sense signal measured across the CS and CSG pins. The result is compared to the COMP error
voltage by the PWM comparator.

Feature Description (continued)
The LM5175 regulates the output using valley current mode control in buck mode and peak current mode control
in boost mode. For valley current mode control, the high-side buck MOSFET controlled by HDRV1 is turned on
by the PWM comparator at the valley of the inductor ripple current and turned off by the oscillator clock signal.
Valley current mode control is advantageous for buck converters where the PWM controller must resolve very
short on-times. For peak current mode control in the boost mode, the low-side boost MOSFET controlled by
LDRV2 is turned on by the clock signal in each switching cycle and turned off by the PWM comparator at the
peak of the inductor ripple current.
The low-side gate drive LDRV1, complementary to the HDRV1 drive signal, controls the synchronous rectification
MOSFET of the buck stage. The high-side gate drive HDRV2, complementary to the low-side gate drive LDRV2,
controls the high-side synchronous rectifier of the boost stage. For operation with VIN close to VOUT, the LM5175
uses a proprietary buck or boost transition scheme to achieve smooth, low ripple transition zone behavior.
Peak and valley current mode controllers require slope compensation for stable current loop operation at duty
cycle greater than 50% in peak current mode control and less than 50% in valley current mode control. The
LM5175 provides a SLOPE pin to program optimum slope for any VIN and VOUT combination using an external
capacitor.
8.3.2 VCC Regulator and Optional BIAS Input
The VCC regulator provides a regulated 7.5-V bias supply to the gate drivers. When EN/UVLO is above the 0.7-
V (typical) standby threshold, the VCC regulator is turned on. For VIN less than 7.5 V, the VCC voltage tracks VIN
with a small voltage drop as shown in Figure 4. If the EN/UVLO input is above the 1.23 V operating threshold
and VCC exceeds the 3.3 V (typical) VCC UV threshold, the controller is enabled and switching begins.
The VCC regulator draws power from VIN when there is no supply voltage connected to the BIAS pin. If the BIAS
pin is connected to an external voltage source that exceeds VCC by one diode drop, the VCC regulator draws
power from the BIAS input instead of VIN. Connecting the BIAS pin to VOUT in applications with VOUT greater than
8.5 V improves the efficiency of the regulator in the buck mode. The BIAS pin voltage should not exceed 36 V.
For low VIN operation, ensure that the VCC voltage is sufficient to fully enhance the MOSFETs. Use an external
bias supply if VIN dips below the voltage required to sustain the VCC voltage. For these conditions, use a series
blocking diode between the input supply and the VIN pin (Figure 20). This prevents VCC from back-feeding into
VIN through the body diode of the VCC regulator.
A 1-µF capacitor to PGND is required to supply the VCC regulator load transients.

Feature Description (continued)
8.3.3 Enable/UVLO
The LM5175 has a dual function enable and undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit. The EN/UVLO pin has three
distinct voltage ranges: shutdown, standby, and operating (see Shutdown, Standby, and Operating Modes).
When the EN/UVLO pin is below the standby threshold (0.7 V typical), the converter is held in a low power
shutdown mode. When EN/UVLO voltage is greater than the standby threshold but less than the 1.23 V
operating threshold, the internal bias rails and the VCC regulator are enabled but the soft-start (SS) pin is held
low and the PWM controller is disabled. A 1.5 µA pull-up current is sourced out of the EN/UVLO pin in standby
mode to provide hysteresis between the shutdown mode and the standby mode. When EN/UVLO is greater than
the 1.23 V operating threshold, the controller commences operation if VCC is above VCC UV threshold (3.3 V). A
hysteresis current of 3.5 µA is sourced into the EN/UVLO pin when the EN/UVLO input exceeds the 1.23 V
operation threshold to provide hysteresis that prevents on/off chattering in the presence of noise with a slowly
changing input voltage.
The VIN undervoltage lockout turn-on threshold is typically set by a resistor divider from the VIN pin to AGND with
the mid-point of the divider connected to EN/UVLO. The turn-on threshold VINUV is calculated using Equation 1
where RUV2 is the upper resistor and RUV1 is the lower resistor in the EN/UVLO resistor divider:
(1)
The hysteresis between the UVLO turn-on threshold and turn-off threshold is set by the upper resistor in the
EN/UVLO resistor divider and is given by:
(2)
Figure 21. UVLO Threshold Programming
8.3.4 Soft-Start
The LM5175 soft-start time is programmed using a soft-start capacitor from the SS pin to AGND. When the
converter is enabled, an internal 5-µA current source charges the soft-start capacitor. When the SS pin voltage is
below the 0.8-V feedback reference voltage VREF, the soft-start pin controls the regulated FB voltage. Once SS
exceeds VREF, the soft-start interval is complete and the error amplifier is referenced to VREF. The soft-start time
is given by Equation 3:
(3)
The soft-start capacitor is internally discharged when the converter is disabled because of EN/UVLO falling
below the operation threshold or VCC falling below the VCC UV threshold. The soft-start pin is also discharged
when the converter is in hiccup mode current limiting or in thermal shutdown. When average input or output
current limiting is active, the soft-start capacitor is discharged by the constant current loop transconductance
(gm) amplifier to limit either input or output current.

Feature Description (continued)
8.3.5 Overcurrent Protection
The LM5175 provides cycle-by-cycle current limit to protect against overcurrent and short circuit conditions. In
buck operation, the sensed valley voltage across the CSG and CS pins is limited to 76 mV. The high-side buck
switch skips a cycle if the sensed voltage does not fall below this threshold during the buck switch off time. In
boost operation, the maximum peak voltage across CS and CSG is limited to 170mV. If the peak current in the
low-side boost switch causes the CS pin to exceed this threshold voltage, the boost switch is turned off for the
remainder of the clock cycle.
Applying the appropriate voltage to the MODE pin of the LM5175 enables hiccup mode fault protection (see
MODE Pin Configuration). In the hiccup mode, the controller shuts down after detecting cycle-by-cycle current
limiting for 128 consecutive cycles and the soft-start capacitor is discharged. The soft-start capacitor is
automatically released after 4000 oscillator clock cycles and the controller restarts. If hiccup mode protection is
not enabled through the MODE pin, the LM5175 will operate in cycle-by-cycle current limiting as long as the
overload condition persists.
8.3.6 Average Input/Output Current Limiting
The LM5175 provides optional average current limiting capability to limit either the input or the output current of
the DC/DC converter. The average current limiting circuit uses an additional current sense resistor connected in
series with the input supply or output voltage of the converter. A current sense gm amplifier with inputs at the
ISNS(+) and ISNS(-) pins monitors the voltage across the sense resistor and compares it with an internal 50 mV
reference. If the drop across the sense resistor is greater than 50 mV, the gm amplifier gradually discharges the
soft-start capacitor. When the soft-start capacitor discharges below the 0.8-V feedback reference voltage VREF,
the output voltage of the converter decreases to limit the input or output current. The average current limiting
feature can be used in applications requiring a regulated current from the input supply or into the load. The target
constant current is given by Equation 4:
(4)
The average current loop can be disabled by shorting the ISNS(+) and ISNS(-) pins together.
8.3.7 CCM/DCM Operation
The LM5175 allows selection of continuous conduction mode (CCM) or discontinuous conduction mode (DCM)
operation using the MODE pin (see MODE Pin Configuration). In CCM operation the inductor current can flow in
either direction and the controller switches at a fixed frequency regardless of the load current. This mode is
useful for noise-sensitive applications where a fixed switching eases filter design. In DCM operation the
synchronous rectifier MOSFETs emulate diodes as LDRV1 or HDRV2 turn-off for the remainder of the PWM
cycle when the inductor current reaches zero. The DCM mode results in reduced frequency operation at light
loads, which lowers switching losses and increases light load efficiency of the converter.
8.3.8 Frequency and Synchronization (RT/SYNC)
The LM5175 switching frequency can be programmed between 100 kHz and 600 kHz using a resistor from the
RT/SYNC pin to AGND. The RTresistor is related to the nominal switching frequency (Fsw) by the following
equation:
(5)
Figure 3 in the Typical Characteristics shows the relationship between the programmed switching frequency (Fsw)
and the RTresistor.
The RT/SYNC pin can also be used for synchronizing the internal oscillator to an external clock signal. The
external synchronization pulse is ac coupled using a capacitor to the RT/SYNC pin. The voltage at the RT/SYNC
pin must not exceed 3.3 V peak. The external synchronization pulse frequency should be higher than the
internally set oscillator frequency and the pulse width should be between 75 ns and 500 ns.

Figure 22. Using External SYNC
8.3.9 Frequency Dithering
The LM5175 provides an optional frequency dithering function that is enabled by connecting a capacitor from
DITH to AGND. Figure 23 illustrates the dithering circuit. A triangular waveform centered at 1.22 V is generated
across the CDITH capacitor. This triangular waveform modulates the oscillator frequency by ±5% of the nominal
frequency set by the RTresistor. The CDITH capacitance value sets the rate of the low frequency modulation. A
lower CDITH capacitance will modulate the oscillator frequency at a faster rate than a higher capacitance. For the
dithering circuit to effectively reduce peak EMI, the modulation rate must be much less than the oscillator
frequency (Fsw). Equation 6 calculates the DITH pin capacitance required to set the modulation frequency, FMOD.
Connecting the DITH pin directly to AGND disables frequency dithering, and the internal oscillator operates at a
fixed frequency set by the RT resistor. Dither is disabled when external SYNC is used.

8.3.10 Output Overvoltage Protection (OVP)
The LM5175 provides an output overvoltage protection (OVP) circuit that turns off the gate drives when the
feedback voltage is 7.5% above the 0.8 V feedback reference voltage VREF. Switching resumes once the output
falls within 5% of VREF.
8.3.11 Power Good (PGOOD)
PGOOD is an open drain output that is pulled low when the voltage at the FB pin is outside -9% / +10% of the
nominal 0.8-V reference voltage. The PGOOD internal N-Channel MOSFET pull-down strength is typically 4.2
mA. This pin can be connected to a voltage supply of up to 8 V through a pull-up resistor.

8.3.12 Gm Error Amplifier
The LM5175 has a gm error amplifier for loop compensation. The gm amplifier output (COMP) range is 0.3 V to
3 V. Connect an Rc1-Cc1 compensation network between COMP and ground for type II (PI) compensation (see
Figure 24). Another pole is usually added using Cc2 to suppress higher frequency noise.
The COMP output voltage (VCOMP) range limits the possible VIN and IOUT range for a given design. In buck mode,
the maximum VIN for which the converter can regulate the output at no load is when VCOMP reaches 0.3 V.
Equation 7 gives VCOMP as a function of VIN at no load in CCM buck mode:
(7)
Where DBUCK in the equation Equation 7 is the buck duty cycle given by:
(8)
A larger L1, lower slope ripple (higher CSLOPE), smaller sense resistor (RSENSE), and higher frequency can
increase the maximum VIN range for buck operation.
For boost mode, the minimum VIN for which the converter can regulate the output at full load is when VCOMP
reaches 3 V. Equation 9 gives VCOMP as a function of VIN in boost mode:
(9)
Where DBOOST in the Equation 9 is the boost duty cycle given by:
(10)
A larger L1, lower slope ripple (higher CSLOPE), smaller sense resistor (RSENSE), and higher frequency can extend
the minimum VIN range for boost operation.
8.3.13 Integrated Gate Drivers
The LM5175 provides four N-channel MOSFET gate drivers: two floating high-side gate drivers at the HDRV1
and HDRV2 pins, and two ground referenced low-side drivers at the LDRV1 and LDRV2 pins. Each driver is
capable of sourcing 1.5 A and sinking 2 A peak current. In buck operation, LDRV1 and HDRV1 are switched by
the PWM controller while HDRV2 remains continuously on. In boost operation, LDRV2 and HDRV2 are switched
while HDRV1 remains continuously on.
In DCM buck operation, LDRV1 and HDRV2 turn off when the inductor current drops to zero (diode emulation).
In a DCM boost operation, HDRV2 turns off when inductor current drops to zero.
The gate drive output HDRV2 remains off during soft-start to prevent reverse current flow from a pre-biased
output.
The low-side gate drivers are powered from VCC and the high-side gate drivers HDRV1 and HDRV2 are
powered from bootstrap capacitors CBOOT1 (between BOOT1 and SW1) and CBOOT2 (between BOOT2 and SW2)
respectively. The CBOOT1 and CBOOT2 capacitors are charged through external Schottky diodes connected to the
VCC pin as shown in Figure 24.
8.3.14 Thermal Shutdown
The LM5175 is protected by a thermal shutdown circuit that shuts down the device when the internal junction
temperature exceeds 165°C (typical). The soft-start capacitor is discharged when thermal shutdown is triggered
and the gate drivers are disabled. The converter automatically restarts when the junction temperature drops by
the thermal shutdown hysteresis of 15°C below the thermal shutdown threshold.

In this particular application, the buck inductance is larger. Choosing a larger inductance reduces the ripple
current but also increases the size of the inductor. A larger inductor also reduces the achievable bandwidth of the
converter by moving the right half plane zero to lower frequencies. Therefore a judicious compromise should be
made based on the application requirements. For this design a 4.7-µH inductor is selected. With this inductor
selection, the inductor current ripple is 5.7 A, 4.3 A, and 2.1 A, at VIN of 36 V, 24 V, and 6 V respectively.
The maximum average inductor current occurs at the minimum input voltage and maximum load current:
(15)
where a 90% efficiency is assumed. The peak inductor current occurs at minimum input voltage and is given by:
(16)
To ensure sufficient output current, the current limit threshold must be set to allow the maximum load current in
boost operation. To ensure that the inductor does not saturate in current limit, the peak saturation current of the
inductor should be higher than the maximum current limit. Adjusting for a ±20% current limit threshold tolerance,
the peak inductor current limit is:
(17)
Therefore, the inductor saturation current should be greater than 21.6 A. If hiccup mode protection is not
enabled, the RMS current rating of the inductor should be sufficient to tolerate continuous operation in cycle-by-
cycle current limiting.
9.2.2.5 Output Capacitor
In the boost mode, the output capacitor conducts high ripple current. The output capacitor RMS ripple current is
given by Equation 18 where the minimum VIN corresponds to the maximum capacitor current.
(18)
In this example the maximum output ripple RMS current is ICOUT(RMS) = 6 A. A 5-moutput capacitor ESR
causes an output ripple voltage of 60 mV as given by:
(19)
A 400 µF output capacitor causes a capacitive ripple voltage of 25 mV as given by:
(20)
Typically a combination of ceramic and bulk capacitors is needed to provide low ESR and high ripple current
capacity. The complete schematic in Figure 24 at the end of this section shows a good starting point for COUT for
typical applications.

The maximum RMS current occurs at D = 0.5, which gives ICIN(RMS) = IOUT/2 = 3 A. A combination of ceramic and
bulk capacitors should be used to provide short path for high di/dt current and to reduce the output voltage ripple.
The complete schematic in Figure 24 is a good starting point for CIN for typical applications.

The maximum power dissipation in RSENSE happens at VIN(MIN):
(24)
Based on this, select the current sense resistor with power rating of 2 W or higher.
For some application circuits, it may be required to add a filter network to attenuate noise in the CS and CSG
sense lines. Please see Figure 24 for typical values. The filter resistance should not exceed 100 Ω.
9.2.2.8 Slope Compensation
For stable current loop operation and to avoid sub-harmonic oscillations, the slope capacitor should be selected
based on Equation 25:
(25)
This slope compensation results in “dead-beat” operation, in which the current loop disturbances die out in one
switching cycle. Theoretically a current mode loop is stable with half the “dead-beat” slope (twice the calculated
slope capacitor value in Equation 25). A smaller slope capacitor results in larger slope signal which is better for
noise immunity in the transition region (VIN~VOUT). A larger slope signal, however, restricts the achievable input
voltage range for a given output voltage, switching frequency, and inductor. For this design CSLOPE = 100 pF is
selected for better transition region behavior while still providing the required VIN range. This selection of slope
capacitor, inductor, switching frequency, and inductor satisfies the COMP range limitation explained in Gm Error
Amplifier section.
9.2.2.9 UVLO
The UVLO resistor divider must be designed for turn-on below 6V. Selecting a RUV2 = 249 kgives a UVLO
hysteresis of 0.8 V. The lower UVLO resistor is the selected using Equation 26:
(26)
A standard value of 59.0 kΩis selected for RUV1.
When programming the UVLO threshold for lower input voltage operation, it is important to choose MOSFETs
with gate (Miller) plateau voltage lower than the minimum VIN.
9.2.2.10 Soft-Start Capacitor
The soft-start time is programmed using the soft-start capacitor. The relationship between CSS and the soft-start
time is given by:
(27)
CSS = 0.1 µF gives a soft-start time of 16 ms.
9.2.2.11 Dither Capacitor
The dither capacitor sets the modulation frequency of the frequency dithering around the nominal switching
frequency. A larger CDITH results in lower modulation frequency. For proper operation the modulation frequency
(FMOD) must be much lower than the switching frequency. Use Equation 28 to select CDITH for the target
modulation frequency.
(28)
For the current design dithering is not being implemented. Therefore a 0 resistor from the DITH pin to AGND
disables this feature.

9.2.2.12 MOSFETs QH1 and QL1
The input side MOSFETs QH1 and QL1 need to withstand the maximum input voltage of 36 V. In addition they
must withstand the transient spikes at SW1 during switching. Therefore QH1 and QL1 should be rated for 60 V.
The gate plateau voltages of the MOSFETs should be smaller than the minimum input voltage of the converter,
otherwise the MOSFETs may not fully enhance during startup or overload conditions.
The power loss in QH1 in the boost mode of operation is approximated by:
(29)
The power loss in QH1 in the buck mode of operation consists of both conduction and switching loss
components given by Equation 30 and Equation 31 respectively:
(30)
(31)
The rise (tr) and the fall (tf) times are based on the MOSFET datasheet information or measured in the lab.
Typically a MOSFET with smaller RDSON (smaller conduction loss) will have longer rise and fall times (larger
switching loss).
The power loss in QL1 in the buck mode of operation is given by the following equation:
(32)
9.2.2.13 MOSFETs QH2 and QL2
The output side MOSFETs QH2 and QL2 see the output voltage of 12 V and additional transient spikes at SW2
during switching. Therefore QH2 and QL2 should be rated for 20 V or more. The gate plateau voltages of the
MOSFETs should be smaller than the minimum input voltage of the converter, otherwise the MOSFETs may not
fully enhance during startup or overload conditions.
The power loss in QH2 in the buck mode of operation is approximated by:

9.2.2.14 Frequency Compensation
This section presents the control loop compensation design procedure for the LM5175 buck-boost controller. The
LM5175 operates mainly in buck or boost modes, separated by a transition region, and therefore the control loop
design is done for both buck and boost operating modes. Then a final selection of compensation is made based
on the mode that is more restrictive from a loop stability point of view. Typically for a converter designed to go
deep into both buck and boost operating regions, the boost compensation design is more restrictive due to the
presence of a right half plane zero (RHPZ) in the boost mode.
The boost power stage output pole location is given by:
(37)
where ROUT = 2 corresponds to the maximum load of 6 A.
The boost power stage ESR zero location is given by:
(38)
The boost power stage RHP zero location is given by:
(39)
where DMAX is the maximum duty cycle at the minimum VIN.
The buck power stage output pole location is given by:
(40)
The buck power stage ESR zero location is the same as the boost power stage ESR zero.
It is clear from Equation 39 that RHP zero is the main factor limiting the achievable bandwidth. For a robust
design the crossover frequency should be less than 1/3 of the RHP zero frequency. Given the position of the
RHP zero, a reasonable target bandwidth in boost operation is around 4 kHz:
(41)
For some power stages, the boost RHP zero might not be as restrictive. This happens when the boost maximum
duty cycle (DMAX) is small, or when a really small inductor is used. In those cases, compare the limits posed by
the RHP zero (fRHP/3) with 1/20 of the switching frequency and use the smaller of the two values as the
achievable bandwidth.
The compensation zero can be placed at 1.5 times the boost output pole frequency. Keep in mind that this
locates the zero at 3 times the buck output pole frequency which results in approximately 30 degrees of phase
loss before crossover of the buck loop and 15 degrees of phase loss at intermediate frequencies for the boost
loop:
(42)
If the crossover frequency is well below the RHP zero and the compensation zero is placed well below the
crossover, the compensation gain resistor Rc1 is calculated using the approximation:
(43)
where DMAX is the maximum duty cycle at the minimum VIN in boost mode and ACS is the current sense amplifier
gain. The compensation capacitor Cc1 is then calculated from:
(44)
The standard values of compensation components are selected to be Rc1 = 10 kand Cc1 = 22 nF.

A high frequency pole is added to suppress switching noise using a 100 pF capacitor (Cc2) in parallel with Rc1
and Cc1. These values provide a good starting point for the compensation design. Each design should be tuned
in the lab to achieve the desired balance between stability margin across the operating range and transient
response time.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
The LM5175 is a power management device. The power supply for the device is any dc voltage source within the
specified input range. The supply should also be capable of supplying sufficient current based on the maximum
inductor current in boost mode operation. The input supply should be bypassed with additional electrolytic
capacitor at the input of the application board to avoid ringing due to parasitic impedance of the connecting
cables.
11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
The basic PCB board layout requires separation of sensitive signal and power paths. The following checklist
should be followed to get good performance for a well designed board.
Place the power components including the input filter capacitor CIN, the power MOSFETs QL1 and QH1, and
the sense resistor RSENSE close together to minimize the loop area for input switching current in buck
operation.
Place the power components including the output filter capacitor COUT, the power MOSFETs QL2 and QH2,
and the sense resistor RSENSE close together to minimize the loop area for output switching current in boost
operation.
Use a combination of bulk capacitors and smaller ceramic capacitors with low series impedance for the input
and output capacitors. Place the smaller capacitors closer to the IC to provide a low impedance path for high
di/dt switching currents.
Minimize the SW1 and SW2 loop areas as these are high dv/dt nodes.
Layout the gate drive traces and return paths as directly as possible. Layout the forward and return traces
close together, either running side by side or on top of each other on adjacent layers to minimize the
inductance of the gate drive path.
Use Kelvin connections to RSENSE for the current sense signals CS and CSG and run lines in parallel from the
RSENSE terminals to the IC pins. Avoid crossing noisy areas such as SW1 and SW2 nodes or high-side gate
drive traces. Place the filter capacitor for the current sense signal as close to the IC pins as possible.
Place the CIN, COUT, and RSENSE ground pins as close as possible with thick ground trace and/or planes on
multiple layers.
Place the VCC bypass capacitor close to the controller IC, between the VCC and PGND pins. A 1-µF ceramic
capacitor is typically used.
Place the BIAS bypass capacitor close to the controller IC, between the BIAS and PGND pins. A 0.1-µF
ceramic capacitor is typically used.
Place the BOOT1 bootstrap capacitor close to the IC and connect directly to the BOOT1 to SW1 pins.
Place the BOOT2 bootstrap capacitor close to the IC and connect directly to the BOOT2 to SW2 pins.
Bypass the VIN pin to AGND with a low ESR ceramic capacitor located close to the controller IC. A 0.1 µF
ceramic capacitor is typically used. When using external BIAS, use a diode between input rails and VIN pins to
prevent reverse conduction when VIN < VCC.
Connect the feedback resistor divider between the COUT positive terminal and AGND pin of the IC. Place the
components close to the FB pin.
Use care to separate the power and signal paths so that no power or switching current flows through the
AGND connections which can either corrupt the COMP, SLOPE, or SYNC signals, or cause dc offset in the
FB sense signal. The PGND and AGND traces can be connected near the PGND pin, near the VCC
capacitor PGND connection, or near the PGND connection of the CS, CSG pin current sense resistor.
When using the average current loop, divide the overall capacitor (CIN or COUT) between the two sides of the
sense resistor to ensure small cycle-by-cycle ripple. Place the average current loop filter capacitor close to
the IC between the ISNS(+) and ISNS(-) pins.
