Applications Information
be less than 200 mA p-p so the lower peak of the waveform
does not reach zero. L1 is calculated using the following
equation:
At Vin = 90V, L1(min) calculates to 132 µH. The next larger
standard value (150 µH) is chosen and with this value I
calculates to 176 mA p-p at Vin = 90V, and 33 mA p-p at Vin
= 12V.
b) Maximum load current: At a load current of 150 mA, the
peak of the ripple waveform must not reach the minimum
guaranteed value of the LM5009’s current limit threshold
(250 mA). Therefore the ripple amplitude must be less than
200 mA p-p, which is already satisfied in the above calcula-
tion. With L1 = 150 µH, at maximum Vin and Io, the peak of
the ripple will be 238 mA. While L1 must carry this peak
current without saturating or exceeding its temperature rat-
ing, it also must be capable of carrying the maximum guar-
anteed value of the LM5009’s current limit threshold (370
mA) without saturating, since the current limit is reached
during startup.
C3: The capacitor on the V
filtering and stability, but also prevents false triggering of the
V
reason, C3 should be no smaller than 0.1 µF.
C2, and R3: When selecting the output filter capacitor C2,
the items to consider are ripple voltage due to its ESR, ripple
voltage due to its capacitance, and the nature of the load.
a) ESR and R3: A low ESR for C2 is generally desirable so
as to minimize power losses and heating within the capaci-
tor. However, a hysteretic regulator requires a minimum
amount of ripple voltage at the feedback input for proper loop
operation. For the LM5009 the minimum ripple required at
pin 5 is 25 mV p-p, requiring a minimum ripple at V
100 mV. Since the minimum ripple current (at minimum Vin)
is 33 mA p-p, the minimum ESR required at V
Since quality capacitors for SMPS applications have an ESR
considerably less than this, R3 is inserted as shown in
Figure 1. R3’s value, along with C2’s ESR, must result in at
least 25 mV p-p ripple at pin 5. Generally, R3 will be 0.5 Ω to
5.0 Ω.
b) Nature of the Load: The load can be connected to V
or V
voltage which ranges from 100 mV (
(
to 13 mV) but lower regulation due to R3.
C2 should generally be no smaller than 3.3 µF. Typically, its
value is 10 µF to 20 µF, with the optimum value determined
by the load. If the load current is fairly constant, a small value
suffices for C2. If the load current includes significant tran-
sients, a larger value is necessary. For each application,
experimentation is needed to determine the optimum values
for R3 and C2.
C) Ripple Reduction: The ripple amplitude at V
reduced by reducing R3, and adding a capacitor across R1
so as to tranfer the ripple at V
without attenuation. The new value of R3 is calculated from:

off-time set by this resistor must be greater than the maxi-
mum normal off-time which occurs at maximum Vin. Using
equation 2, the minimum on-time is 0.329 µs, yielding a

The closest standard value is 169 kΩ.
D1: The important parameters are reverse recovery time and
forward voltage. The reverse recovery time determines how
long the reverse current surge lasts each time the buck
switch is turned on. The forward voltage drop is significant in
the event the output is short-circuited as it is only this diode’s
voltage which forces the inductor current to reduce during
the forced off-time. For this reason, a higher voltage is better,
although that affects efficiency. A good choice is an ultrafast
power or Schottky diode with a reverse recovery time of )30
ns, and a forward voltage drop of )0.7V. Other types of
diodes may have a lower forward voltage drop, but may have
longer recovery times, or greater reverse leakage. D1’s re-
verse voltage rating must be at least as great as the maxi-
mum Vin, and its current rating be greater than the maximum
current limit threshold (370 mA).
C1: This capacitor’s purpose is to supply most of the switch
current during the on-time, and limit the voltage ripple at VIN,
on the assumption that the voltage source feeding VIN has
an output impedance greater than zero. At maximum load
current, when the buck switch turns on, the current into pin 8
will suddenly increase to the lower peak of the output current
waveform, ramp up to the peak value, then drop to zero at
turn-off. The average input current during this on-time is the
load current (150 mA). For a worst case calculation, C1 must
supply this average load current during the maximum on-
time. To keep the input voltage ripple to less than 2V (for this
exercise), C1 calculates to:
Quality ceramic capacitors in this value have a low ESR
which adds only a few millivolts to the ripple. It is the capaci-
tance which is dominant in this case. To allow for the capaci-
tor’s tolerance, temperature effects, and voltage effects, a
1.0 µF, 100V, X7R capacitor will be used.
C4: The recommended value is 0.01µF for C4, as this is
appropriate in the majority of applications. A high quality
ceramic capacitor, with low ESR is recommended as C4
