Product Overview

The LM5156 is a Texas Instruments non-synchronous boost controller for Power_Management designs using peak current-mode control. The controller supports boost, SEPIC, and flyback power stages, making the topology information central to its use rather than a fixed single-output regulator claim.

Its BIAS operating range is 3.5 V to 60 V when supplied through the internal VCC regulator, while BIAS = VCC operation is specified from 2.97 V to 16 V. With BIAS at or above 3.5 V, the minimum boost supply voltage is 1.5 V. Input transient protection is specified up to 65 V, and the BIAS absolute maximum range is -0.3 V to 65 V.

Control and drive parameters include a 100 kHz to 2.2 MHz programmable switching-frequency range using an external RT resistor, 1.5 A peak current from the standard N-channel MOSFET gate driver, a 100 mV +/-7% current-limit threshold, and a 1 V internal reference with +/-1% feedback reference accuracy. The device is offered in a 12-pin WSON (DSS) package with a 3.00 mm x 2.00 mm nominal body.

Procurement Notes

When requesting a quote for LM5156, buyers should confirm the manufacturer, package or case, required quantity, target date code, compliance documents, packing method, destination country and expected delivery schedule.

If alternatives are acceptable, buyers should share the approved vendor list, required electrical or optical limits, package constraints and qualification requirements. Any alternative part should be reviewed by the buyer's engineering team before production use.

For power IC and power device sourcing, voltage rating, current rating, power dissipation, package thermal performance, protection features, qualification grade and application conditions should be reviewed before approval.

FAQ

What topologies does the LM5156 support?

The LM5156 supports boost, SEPIC, and flyback topologies. The extracted datasheet facts describe it as a peak current-mode control controller, so these topology claims apply to controller-based power-stage designs.

What input voltage range is specified for LM5156 operation?

The operating input range is 3.5 V to 60 V when BIAS is supplied through the internal VCC regulator. A separate operating range of 2.97 V to 16 V is specified when BIAS equals VCC.

What switching-frequency range can the LM5156 use?

The LM5156 switching frequency is programmable from 100 kHz to 2.2 MHz using an external RT resistor. The same 100 kHz to 2200 kHz range is also listed for recommended switching frequency and synchronization pulse frequency.
