Product details
Overview
LM5158RTER from Texas Instruments is a wide-input non-synchronous boost/SEPIC/flyback DC-DC controller with integrated 85-V, 3.26-A N-channel MOSFET, 2.2-MHz programmable switching frequency, ±1% feedback reference, and dual random spread spectrum for EMI reduction. It operates from 3.2 V to 60 V input (65-V abs max), delivers up to 83-V output (85-V abs max), and supports primary-side regulation in flyback without optocoupler - ideal for battery-powered industrial sensors and hold-up capacitor charging.
For engineers reviewing the LM5158RTER datasheet, LM5158RTER pinout, LM5158RTER application, or LM5158RTER equivalent, key selection criteria include its 133-mΩ RDS(ON), 2.6-µA shutdown current, 100–2200-kHz dynamically programmable fSW, hiccup-mode overload protection, and BIAS-pin-supported operation down to 1.5-V input when BIAS ≥ 3.2 V.
Technical Context
The LM5158RTER uses peak-current-mode control with an internal transconductance error amplifier (Gm = 2 mA/V) and programmable soft-start via external capacitor. Its dual random spread spectrum modulation (±7.8% frequency deviation) operates across the full 100 kHz–2.2 MHz range and is enabled/disabled via MODE pin voltage configuration.
It integrates a high-voltage BIAS-regulated VCC supply (4.66–5.14 V at 18 mA), line UVLO with 1.425–1.575-V threshold and 50-mV hysteresis, and accurate overvoltage (107–113% of VREF) and undervoltage (87–93% of VREF) protection on FB. Thermal shutdown triggers at 175°C with 15°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.2 V to 60 V (65-V absolute max); enables single-cell Li-ion start-up and transient robustness in industrial power rails |
| Output Voltage Capability | Up to 83 V (85-V abs max); supports high-voltage bias supplies for LED drivers and piezo actuators |
| Switching Frequency | 100 kHz to 2.2 MHz (resistor-programmable); 2.2-MHz operation minimizes AM-band interference and reduces passive size |
| RDS(ON) | 133 mΩ @ VBIAS = 12 V; lowers conduction loss and improves efficiency in high-current boost stages |
| Current Limit | 3.26 A (min), 3.75 A (typ), 4.24 A (max); accurate peak-current limit avoids overdesigning magnetics across input range |
| Feedback Reference | 0.99 V to 1.01 V (±1%); enables precise output regulation in primary-side flyback and SEPIC topologies |
| Shutdown Current | ≤2.6 µA @ VBIAS = 12 V; extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes and loop-powered systems |
Pinout & Package
LM5158RTER is housed in a 16-pin WQFN package (3.00 mm × 3.00 mm) with exposed thermal pad (EP) connected to AGND. The leadless QFN construction supports low-inductance layout and EMI mitigation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 16 PGND | Power ground return | Source connection of internal MOSFET; must be low-impedance path to minimize switching noise and thermal resistance |
| 2 VCC | VCC regulator output | Supplies internal circuitry and gate driver; requires 1-µF ceramic bypass to PGND |
| 3 BIAS | High-voltage bias input | Feeds internal VCC regulator; supports 3.2–60 V operation and enables 1.5-V min input when ≥3.2 V |
| 4 PGOOD | Open-drain power-good indicator | Signals valid output regulation (FB > VUVTH); requires external pullup for system sequencing |
| 5 RT | Frequency programming | Resistor-to-AGND sets fSW from 100 kHz to 2.2 MHz; defines minimum on-time and duty-cycle limits |
| 6 EN/UVLO/SYNC | Multi-function control | Enables converter, programs UVLO thresholds via resistor divider, or accepts external sync clock pulses |
| 7 AGND | Analog ground reference | Reference for FB, COMP, SS, MODE; must connect via short, wide trace to minimize noise coupling |
| 8 COMP | Error amplifier output | Drives external compensation network; sourcing capability (180 µA) and clamping (1–2.8 V) define loop stability |
| 9 FB | Inverting error amp input | Sets output voltage via resistive divider; ±1% reference enables <1% output tolerance in closed-loop designs |
| 10 SS | Soft-start ramp control | External capacitor sets output voltage ramp rate; internal 10-µA current source ensures controlled start-up |
| 11 MODE | Protection & spread-spectrum mode select | Voltage-selectable: 0 V (hiccup off, SS off), 370 mV (hiccup on, SS on), 620 mV (hiccup on, SS off), >1 V (hiccup off, SS on) |
| 13, 14 SW | Internal MOSFET drain | Connects to inductor/transformer; withstands 85-V transients; 133-mΩ RDS(ON) defines conduction loss |
| 12, 15 NC | No connect | No internal connection; must remain unconnected per datasheet |
| EP | Exposed thermal pad | Must be soldered to AGND plane for thermal performance (RθJB = 19.1°C/W) and EMI reduction |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LM5158RTER startup?
The LM5158RTER starts up from a minimum 3.2-V input when powered solely from VSUPPLY. However, if the BIAS pin is supplied with ≥3.2 V from an auxiliary source (e.g., output rail or separate supply), the device operates with input as low as 1.5 V - enabling ultra-low-voltage battery operation after initial start-up. This behavior is confirmed in Section 3 and Figure 9-5 of the SNVSBZ7 datasheet.
How does the MODE pin configure spread spectrum and hiccup protection on LM5158RTER?
The MODE pin on LM5158RTER selects operating modes via applied voltage: 0 V disables both hiccup mode and spread spectrum; 370 mV enables both; 620 mV enables hiccup mode only; >1 V enables spread spectrum only. These thresholds correspond to specific resistor dividers to AGND (e.g., 37.4 kΩ for 370 mV), as defined in Table 7-1 and Section 9.3.11 of the datasheet.
Can LM5158RTER be used in primary-side regulated flyback without an optocoupler?
Yes, LM5158RTER supports primary-side regulation in flyback topology using its integrated transconductance error amplifier and ±1% accurate 1-V reference. When configured with appropriate transformer auxiliary winding for BIAS and proper compensation on COMP, it eliminates the need for optocoupler and secondary-side TL431, reducing cost and improving reliability - as demonstrated in Figure 10-5 and Section 10.3 of SNVSBZ7.
What is the maximum achievable switching frequency and how is it set on LM5158RTER?
The LM5158RTER supports a maximum switching frequency of 2.2 MHz, set by connecting a 9.09-kΩ resistor between RT and AGND. Frequency scales inversely with RT value (e.g., 220 kΩ yields ~100 kHz). Minimum on-time is 80 ns at 2.2 MHz, and maximum duty cycle is 80–90% depending on RT, as specified in Section 8.5 and Figure 8-10 of the datasheet.
Does LM5158RTER provide overvoltage protection, and how is it implemented?
Yes, LM5158RTER includes output overvoltage protection (OVP) triggered when FB voltage exceeds 107–113% of the 1-V reference. Upon OVP detection, the controller immediately disables the power switch and holds shutdown until reset via UVLO or EN cycling. This protection is independent of loop regulation and operates even during soft-start, as detailed in Section 8.5 (VOVTH parameter) and Section 9.3.9 of SNVSBZ7.
