Product Overview
The LM5157 is a Texas Instruments Power_Management IC for boost, SEPIC, and flyback converter topologies. Its BIAS input operating range is 2.9 V to 45 V, and boost converter input operation can extend from 1.5 V to 45 V when BIAS is at least 2.9 V. The boost converter output is specified up to 48 V, with the SW pin transient constrained to 50 V or below.
The device integrates a 45 mOhm internal N-channel MOSFET and provides a 6.5 A minimum peak current limit for the LM5157 option. Switching frequency is dynamically programmable with an external resistor across 100 kHz to 2.2 MHz, and external synchronization supports 100 kHz to 2200 kHz. Control and monitoring limits include ±1% FB reference accuracy, shutdown current of 2.6 uA maximum, and operating current of 670 uA maximum.
The package is a 16-pin WQFN (RTE) with a 3.00 mm x 3.00 mm nominal body. Thermal data includes 44.4°C/W junction-to-ambient resistance for the RTE QFN package and 32.7°C/W on the LM5157EVM-BST evaluation board.
