Texas Instruments LM3150

Description

The LM3150 SIMPLE SWITCHER® Controller is an easy to use and simplified step down power controller capable of providing up to 12A of output current in a typical application. Operating with an input voltage range of 6V-42V, the LM3150 features an adjustable output voltage down to 0.6V. The switching frequency is adjustable up to 1 MHz and the synchronousarchitecture provides for highly efficient designs. The LM3150 controller employs a Constant On-Time (COT) architecture with a proprietary Emulated Ripple Mode (ERM) control that allows for the use of low ESR output capacitors, which reduces overall solution size and output voltage ripple. The Constant On-Time (COT) regulation architecture allows for fast transient response and requires no loop compensation, which reduces external component count and reduces design complexity.Fault protection features such as thermal shutdown, under-voltage lockout, over-voltage protection, short- circuit protection, current limit, and output voltage prebias startup allow for a reliable and robust solution.The LM3150 SIMPLE SWITCHER® concept provides for an easy to use complete design using a minimum number of external components and TI’s WEBENCH® online design tool. WEBENCH® provides design support for every step of the design process and includes features such as external component calculation with a new MOSFET selector, electrical simulation, thermal simulation, and Build-It boards for prototyping.
