LM5161 Buck EVM User’s Guide
1 Introduction
The LM5161 evaluation module (EVM) is designed to showcase the performance of the LM5161
synchronous buck DC/DC buck converter. The purpose of the user's guide is to highlight the
specifications, setup instructions, complete application schematic, bill of materials (BOM), and typical
performance curves of the EVM. The LM5161 is supported by WEBENCH®Designer and unencrypted
PSpice simulation models. Furthermore, the reader can use the LM5161 Quick-start calculator to optimize
component selection and examine estimated efficiency performance across wide line and load ranges.
The LM5161 device name is used generically throughout this document and represents both the LM5161
and the LM5161-Q1, unless stated otherwise.
2 EVM Description and Performance Specifications
The LM5161 Buck evaluation board provides a fully functional buck regulator, employing the constant ON-
time (COT) control scheme. This provides a 12 V output over an input voltage range of 15 V to 80 V with
output current rated up to 1 A. The application schematic of the EVM has been set up to operate from a
nominal 48-V input supply. The switching frequency is set to approximately 300 kHz. The board is
designed to demonstrate a synchronous buck with small solution size for 12 W wide VIN applications.

3.2 Operation
In order to maintain proper operation of the LM5161PWPBKEVM, the input voltage applied across J1
should be gradually increased. The load at the output (J2) should not exceed 1 A. The inductor L2 used in
this board is optimized for small solution size. The saturation current rating (ISAT) of the inductor should be
higher than the LM5161 integrated high-side FET peak current-limit threshold of 1.9 A (max.).
The nominal switching frequency (in Hz) can be set using the RON (R1 in the EVM) resistor, as shown in
Equation 1:
(1)
The output voltage is set by using the feedback divider resistors R8 (RFB1) and R7 (RFB2) in the EVM by
using Equation 2:
(2)
The EN/UVLO resistors R9 (RUV1) and R3 (RUV2) in the EVM sets the input undervoltage lockout threshold
and the EN/UVLO hysteresis according to Equation 3:
(3)
and,
(4)
where IUVLO(HYS) = 20 µA and VUVLO(TH) = 1.24 V.
Table 2 summarizes the LM5161 Buck EVM Jumper (JP1) settings that determine the desired modes of
operation.

LM5161 Buck EVM User’s Guide
When selecting the FPWM mode, the LM5161 needs an external feedback ripple injection circuit (Type 3)
or the external ESR resistor (Type 1) on board, for normal operation. The correct values for the external
ESR resistor (R4 in the EVM) in series with the output capacitors (C10, C11) or for the external ripple
injection circuit (R6,C7 and C10), depending on which ripple injection scheme (Type 1 or Type 3) is used,
are calculated based on the formulae mentioned in the LM5161 datasheet. See application note AN-1481
for more details for each ripple generation method.
When selecting the DCM mode setting using the Jumper (JP1) see Table 2, the internal emulated ripple
mode is enabled. When operating in this mode, there is no need to add the external ESR resistor in series
with the output capacitors or the external ripple injection circuit (see Section 7 for more details). The
internal emulated ripple is sufficient to maintain steady-state and dynamic stability while operating in this
mode. In a typical buck application at TJ> 125°C and FPWM = 0, with the input voltage VIN > 72 V and
the VCC externally supplied add a BST resistor, R2 (recommended > 3Ω) in series with the BST capacitor
(see Figure 21). This protects the internal bootstrap diode during a full load transient operation.
An external voltage can be supplied to the VCC pin in the range of 9 V to 13 V, for improved efficiency
requirements. In that case, the diode D1 must be appropriately populated. The user can keep diode D1
populated on board and install/uninstall the jumper J4 in order to estimate the difference in efficiency, with
and without the external VCC supply. More details about the diode D1 are given in the Section 6.

DCM or Floating (High Z) (Pin 2 - Pin 3:
DCM) 0The FPWM pin is grounded or left floating. Populate
resistor R2 appropriately. DCM with the pulse

entire load range.

7 LM5161 Buck EVM PCB Layout
Figure 21 to Figure 24 show the board layout details for the LM5161 Buck EVM. When using the LM5161
in FPWM with Type 3 external ripple injection circuit, the ESR resistor (R4) must be substituted with a 0Ω
resistor) and the placeholders for the R6, C7 and C10 must be populated appropriately. The oscilloscope
snapshots in the Section 4 are captured with C10 set at 0.01µF. If using the Type 1 external ripple
injection circuit, the ESR resistor (R4) must be calculated and placed correctly. However, when using the
R4 resistor, C10 must be removed. The resistor R2 can remain as a 0Ωresistor in both the external ripple
injection circuit cases.
When using the LM5161 in the DCM mode (FPWM = 0) there is no need for the ESR resistor or the
external ripple injection circuit as mentioned earlier. However, it is recommended to set R2 (> 3Ω) in
series with the BST capacitor (see Figure 21), in order to protect the internal VCC-BST bootstrap diode
during a full load transient.
