Texas Instruments LM5122/LM5122-Q1 Synchronous Boost Controllers

Texas Instruments LM5122/LM5122-Q1 Synchronous Boost Controllers are multiphase capable controllers intended for high-efficiency synchronous boost regulator applications. The control method is based upon peak current mode control. Current mode control provides inherent line feed-forward, cycle-by-cycle current limiting, and ease of loop compensation. The switching frequency is programmable up to 1MHz. Higher efficiency is achieved by two robust N-channel MOSFET gate drivers with adaptive dead-time control. A user-selectable diode emulation mode also enables discontinuous mode operation for improved efficiency at light load conditions. 

An internal charge pump allows 100% duty cycle for high-side synchronous switch (bypass operation). A 180° phase-shifted clock output enables easy multiphase interleaved configuration. Additional features include thermal shutdown, frequency synchronization, hiccup mode current limit, and adjustable line undervoltage lockout. The LM5122-Q1 devices are AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications.
