Product Overview

The LM5155 is a Texas Instruments nonsynchronous boost controller for Power_Management designs. The device is supplied in a 12-pin WSON DSS package with a 3.00 mm × 2.00 mm nominal body, supporting compact boost-controller layouts using an external MOSFET gate driver rated for 1.5 A peak current.

Input operation depends on the BIAS and VCC configuration. With BIAS supplied through the internal VCC regulator, the input operating range is 3.5 V to 45 V. When BIAS equals VCC, the range is 2.97 V to 16 V. The device also supports a 1.5 V minimum boost supply voltage when BIAS is at least 3.5 V, and the BIAS pin supports up to 50 V transient protection.

Control and protection parameters include a 100 kHz to 2.2 MHz switching-frequency range set by an external RT resistor, 100 mV ±7% current-limit threshold, ±1% feedback reference accuracy, and a 1 V internal reference. LM5155 has hiccup-mode protection disabled, while the related LM51551 option has hiccup-mode protection enabled.
