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 Ω)
Mode = 1.00 V, DCM, Hiccup Enabled (Set RMODE resistor to GND = 49.9 kΩ)
Mode = 1.85 V, CCM, Hiccup Enabled (Set RMODE resistor to GND = 93.1 kΩ)
Mode = VCC, CCM, Hiccup Disabled (Set RMODE resistor to VCC = 0 Ω)
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.
