The LM25145 42-V synchronous buck controller is designed to regulate from a high input voltage source or from an input rail subject to high voltage transients, minimizing the need for external surge suppression components. A high-side switch minimum on-time of 40 ns facilitates large step-down ratios, enabling the direct step-down conversion from a 24 V nominal input to low-voltage rails for reduced system complexity and solution cost. The LM25145 continues to operate during input voltage dips as low as 6 V, at nearly 100% duty cycle if needed, making it well suited for high-performance industrial control, robotic, datacom, and RF power amplifier applications.Forced-PWM (FPWM) operation eliminates frequency variation to minimize EMI, while a user-selectable diode emulation feature lowers current consumption at light-load conditions. Cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection is accomplished by measuring the voltage drop across the low-side MOSFET or by using an optional current sense resistor. The adjustable switching frequency as high as 1 MHz can be synchronized to an external clock source to eliminate beat frequencies in noise-sensitive applications.
