FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
OVERVIEW
The LM25085A is a PFET buck (step-down) DC-DC controller using the constant on-time (COT) control principle.
The input operating voltage range of the LM25085A is 4.5V to 42V. The use of a PFET in a buck regulator
greatly simplifies the gate drive requirements and allows for 100% duty cycle operation to extend the regulation
range when operating at low input voltage. However, PFET transistors typically have higher on-resistance and
gate charge when compared to similarly rated NFET transistors. Consideration of available PFETs, input voltage
range, gate drive capability of the LM25085A, and thermal resistances indicate an upper limit of 10A for the load
current for LM25085A applications. Constant on-time control is implemented using an on-time one-shot that is
triggered by the feedback signal. During the off-time, when the PFET (Q1) is off, the load current is supplied by
the inductor and the output capacitor. As the output voltage falls, the voltage at the feedback comparator input
(FB) falls below the regulation threshold. When this occurs Q1 is turned on for the one-shot period which is
determined by the input voltage (VIN) and the RTresistor. During the on-time the increasing inductor current
increases the voltage at FB above the feedback comparator threshold. For a buck regulator the basic relationship
between the on-time, off-time, input voltage and output voltage is:
(1)
where Fs is the switching frequency. Equation 1 is valid only in continuous conduction mode (inductor current
does not reach zero). Since the LM25085A controls the on-time inversely proportional to VIN, the switching
frequency remains relatively constant as VIN is varied. If the input voltage falls to a level that is equal to or less
than the regulated output voltage Q1 is held on continuously (100% duty cycle) and VOUT is approximately equal
to VIN.
The COT control scheme, with the feedback signal applied to a comparator rather than an error amplifier,
requires no loop compensation, resulting in very fast load transient response.
The LM25085A is available in both an 8 pin HVSSOP-PowerPAD package and an 8 pin WSON package with an
exposed pad to aid in heat dissipation. An 8 pin VSSOP package without an exposed pad is also available.
REGULATION CONTROL CIRCUIT
The LM25085A buck DC-DC controller employs a control scheme based on a comparator and a one-shot on-
timer, with the output voltage feedback compared to an internal reference voltage (0.9V). When the FB pin
voltage falls below the feedback reference, Q1 is switched on for a time period determined by the input voltage
and a programming resistor (RT). Following the on-time Q1 remains off until the FB voltage falls below the
reference. Q1 is then switched on for another on-time period. The output voltage is set by the feedback resistors
(RFB1, RFB2 in Block Diagram). The regulated output voltage is calculated as follows:
VOUT = 0.9V x (RFB2+ RFB1)/ RFB1 (2)
The feedback voltage supplied to the FB pin is applied to a comparator rather than a linear amplifier. For proper
operation sufficient ripple amplitude is necessary at the FB pin to switch the comparator at regular intervals with
minimum delay and noise susceptibility. This ripple is normally obtained from the output voltage ripple attenuated
through the feedback resistors. The output voltage ripple is a result of the inductor’s ripple current passing
through the output capacitor’s ESR, or through a resistor in series with the output capacitor. Multiple methods are
available to ensure sufficient ripple is supplied to the FB pin, and three different configurations are discussed in
Applications Information.
When in regulation, the LM25085A operates in continuous conduction mode at medium to heavy load currents
and discontinuous conduction mode at light load currents. In continuous conduction mode the inductor’s current
is always greater than zero, and the operating frequency remains relatively constant with load and line variations.
The minimum load current for continuous conduction mode is one-half the inductor’s ripple current amplitude. In
discontinuous conduction mode, where the inductor’s current reaches zero during the off-time, the operating
frequency is lower than in continuous conduction mode and varies with load current. Conversion efficiency is
maintained at light loads since the switching losses are reduced with the reduction in load and frequency.
If the voltage at the FB pin exceeds 1.25V due to a transient overshoot or excessive ripple at VOUT the internal
over-voltage comparator immediately switches off Q1. The next on-time period starts when the voltage at FB falls
below the feedback reference voltage.

ON-TIME TIMER
The on-time of the PFET gate drive output (PGATE pin) is determined by the resistor (RT) and the input voltage
(VIN), and is calculated from:
(3)
where RTis in k. The minimum on-time, which occurs at maximum VIN, should not be set less than 150 ns (see
CURRENT LIMITING). The buck regulator effective on-time, measured at the SW node (junction of Q1, L1, and
D1) is typically longer than that calculated in Equation 3 due to the asymmetric delay of the PFET. The on-time
difference caused by the PFET switching delay can be estimated as the difference of the turn-off and turn-on
delays listed in the PFET data sheet. Measuring the difference between the on-time at the PGATE pin versus the
SW node in the actual application circuit is also recommended.
In continuous conduction mode, the inverse relationship of tON with VIN results in a nearly constant switching
frequency as VIN is varied. The operating frequency can be calculated from:
(4)
where RTis in k, and tDis equal to 50 ns plus the PFET’s delay difference. To set a specific continuous
conduction mode switching frequency (FS), the RTresistor is determined from the following:
(5)
where RTis in k. A simplified version of Equation 6 at VIN = 12V, and tD= 100 ns, is:
For VIN = 42V and tD= 100 ns, the simplified equation is:
SHUTDOWN
The LM25085A can be shutdown by grounding the RT pin (see Figure 25). In this mode the PFET is held off,
and the VCC regulator is disabled. The internal operating current is reduced to the value shown in the graph
“Shutdown current vs. VIN”. The shutdown threshold at the RT pin is 0.73V, with 50 mV of hysteresis.
Releasing the pin enables normal operation. The RT pin must not be forced high during normal operation.

CURRENT LIMITING
The LM25085A current limiting operates by sensing the voltage across either the RDS(ON) of Q1, or a sense
resistor, during the on-time and comparing it to the voltage across the resistor RADJ (see Figure 26). The current
limit function is much more accurate and stable over temperature when a sense resistor is used. The RDS(ON) of a
MOSFET has a wide process variation and a large temperature coefficient.
If the voltage across RDS(ON) of Q1, or the sense resistor, is greater than the voltage across RADJ, the current limit
comparator switches to turn off Q1. Current sensing is disabled for a blanking time of 100 ns at the beginning of
the on-time to prevent false triggering of the current limit comparator due to leading edge current spikes.
Because of the blanking time and the turn-on and turn-off delays created by the PFET, the on-time at the PGATE
pin should not be set less than 150 ns. An on-time shorter than that may prevent the current limit detection circuit
from properly detecting an over-current condition. The duration of the subsequent forced off-time is a function of
the input voltage and the voltage at the FB pin, as shown in Figure 10. The longer-than-normal forced off-time
allows the inductor current to decrease to a low level before the next on-time. This cycle-by-cycle monitoring,
followed by a forced off-time, provides effective protection from output load faults over a wide range of operating
conditions.
The voltage across the RADJ resistor is set by an internal 40 µA current sink at the ADJ pin. When using Q1’s
RDS(ON) for sensing, the current at which the current limit comparator switches is calculated from:
ICL = 40 µA x RADJ/RDS(ON) (6)
When using a sense resistor (RSEN) the thrshold of the current limit comparator is calculated from:
ICL = 40 µA x RADJ/RSEN (7)
When using Equation 6 or Equation 7, the tolerances for the ADJ pin current sink and the offset of the current
limit comparator should be included to ensure the resulting minimum current limit is not less than the required
maximum switch current. Simultaneously increasing the values of RADJ and RSEN decreases the effects of the
current limit comparator offset, but at the expense of higher power dissipation. When using a sense resistor, the
RSEN resistor value should be chosen within the practical limitations of power dissipation and physical size. For
example, for a 10A current limit, setting RSEN = 0.005results in a power dissipation as high as 0.5W. Current
sense connections to the RSEN resistor, or to Q1, must be Kelvin connections to ensure accuracy.
The CADJ capacitor filters noise from the ADJ pin, and helps prevent unintended switching of the current limit
comparator due to input voltage transients. The recommended value for CADJ is 1000 pF.
CURRENT LIMIT OFF-TIME
When the current through Q1 exceeds the current limit threshold, the LM25085A forces an off-time longer than
the normal off-time defined by Equation 1. See Figure 10, or calculate the current limit off-time from the following
equation:
(8)
where VIN is the input voltage, and VFB is the voltage at the FB pin at the time current limit was detected. This
feature is necessary to allow the inductor current to decrease sufficiently to offset the current increase which
occurred during the on-time. During the on-time, the inductor current increases an amount equal to:
(9)
During the off-time the inductor current decreases due to the reverse voltage applied across the inductor by the
output voltage, the freewheeling diode’s forward voltage (VFD), and the voltage drop due to the inductor’s series
resistance (VESR). The current decrease is equal to:

The on-time in Equation 9 is shorter than the normal on-time since the PFET is shut off when the current limit
threshold is crossed. If the off-time is not long enough, such that the current decrease (Equation 10) is less than
the current increase (Equation 9), the current levels are higher at the start of the next on-time. This results in a
further decrease in on-time, since the current limit threshold is crossed sooner. A balance is reached when the
current changes in Equation 9 and Equation 10 are equal. The worst case situation is that of a direct short circuit
at the output terminals, where VOUT = 0 volts, as that results in the largest current increase during the on-time,
and the smallest decrease during the off-time. The sum of the diode’s forward voltage and the inductor’s ESR
voltage must be sufficient to ensure current runaway does not occur. Using Equation 9 and Equation 10, this
requirement can be stated as:
(11)
For tON in Equation 11 use the minimum on-time at the SW node. To determine this time period add the
“Minimum on-time in current limit” specified in Electrical Characteristics (tON-4) to the difference of the turn-off
and turn-on delays of the PFET. For tOFF use the value in Figure 10, or use Equation 8, where VFB is equal to
zero volts. When using the minimum or maximum limits of those specifications to determine worst case
situations, the tolerance of the minimum on-time (tON-4) and the current limit off-times (tOFF(CL1) through tOFF(CL4))
track each other over the process and temperature variations. A device which has an on-time at the high end of
the range will have an off-time that is at the high end of its range.
Figure 26. Current Limit Sensing
VCC REGULATOR
The VCC regulator provides a regulated voltage between the VIN and the VCC pins to provide the bias and gate
current for the PFET gate driver. The 0.47 µF capacitor at the VCC pin must be a low ESR capacitor, preferably
ceramic as it provides the high surge current for the PFET’s gate at each turn-on. The capacitor must be located
as close as possible to the VIN and VCC pins to minimize inductance in the PC board traces.
Referring to the Figure 7, the voltage across the VCC regulator (VIN VCC) is equal to VIN until VIN reaches
approximately 8.5V. At higher values of VIN, the voltage at the VCC pin is regulated at approximately 7.7V below
VIN. The VCC regulator has a maximum current capability of at least 20 mA. The regulator is disabled when the
LM25085A is shutdown using the RT pin, or when the thermal shutdown is activated.
PGATE DRIVER OUTPUT
The PGATE pin output swings between VIN (Q1 off) and the VCC pin voltage (Q1 on). The rise and fall times
depend on the PFET gate capacitance and the source and sink currents provided by the internal gate driver. See
Electrical Characteristics for the current capability of the driver.

P-CHANNEL MOSFET SELECTION
The PFET must be rated for the maximum input voltage, with some margin above that to allow for transients and
ringing which can occur on the supply line and the switching node. The gate-to-source voltage (VGS) normally
provided to the PFET is 7.7 volts for VIN greater than 8.5V. However, if the circuit is to be operated at lower
values of VIN, the selected PFET must be able to fully turn-on with a VGS voltage equal to VIN. The minimum
input operating voltage for the LM25085A is 4.5V.
Similar to NFETs, the case or exposed thermal pad for a PFET is electrically connected to the drain terminal.
When designing a PFET buck regulator the drain terminal is connected to the switching node. This situation
requires a trade-off between thermal and EMI performance since increasing the PC board area of the switching
node to aid the PFET power dissipation also increases radiated noise, possibly disrupting the circuit operation.
Typically the switching node area is kept to a reasonable minimum and the PFET peak current is derated to stay
within the recommended temperature rating of the PFET. The RDS(ON) of the PFET determines a portion of the
power dissipation in the PFET. However, PFETs with very low RDS(ON) usually have large values of gate charge.
A PFET with a higher gate charge has a corresponding slower switching speed, leading to higher switching
losses and affecting the PFET power dissipation.
If the PFET RDS(ON) is used for current limit detection, note that it typically has a positive temperature coefficient.
At 100°C the RDS(ON) may be as much as 50% higher than the value at 25°C which could result in incorrect
current limiting if not accounted for when determining the value of the RADJ resistor. The PFET Total Gate
Charge determines most of the power dissipation in the LM25085A due to the repetitive charge and discharge of
the PFET’s gate capacitance by the gate driver (powered from the VCC regulator). The LM25085A’s internal
power dissipation can be calculated from the following:
PDISS = VIN x ((QGx FS) + IIN) (12)
where QGis the PFET's Total Gate Charge obtained from its datasheet, FSis the switching frequency, and IIN is
the LM25085A's operating current obtained from Figure 5. Using the Thermal Resistance specifications in the
Electrical Characteristics, the approximate junction temperature can be determined. If the calculated junction
temperature is near the maximum operating temperature of 125°C, either the switching frequency must be
reduced, or a PFET with a smaller Total Gate Charge must be used.
SOFT-START
The internal soft-start feature of the LM25085A allows the regulator to gradually reach a steady state operating
point at power up, thereby reducing startup stresses and current surges. Upon turn-on, when Vcc reaches its
under-voltage lockout threshold, the internal soft-start circuit ramps the feedback reference voltage from 0V to
0.9V, causing VOUT to ramp up in a proportional manner. The soft-start ramp time is typically 1.8 ms.
In addition to controlling the initial power up cycle, the soft-start circuit also activates when the LM25085A is
enabled by releasing the RT pin, and when the circuit is shutdown and restarted by the internal Thermal
Shutdown circuit.
If the voltage at FB is below the regulation threshold value due to an over-current condition or a short circuit at
Vout, the internal reference voltage provided by the soft-start circuit to the regulation comparator is reduced
along with FB. When the over-current or short circuit condition is removed, VOUT returns to the regulated value at
a rate determined by the soft-start ramp. This feature helps prevent the output voltage from over-shooting
following an overload event.
THERMAL SHUTDOWN
The LM25085A should be operated such that the junction temperature does not exceed 125°C. If the junction
temperature increases above that, an internal Thermal Shutdown circuit activates at 170°C (typical) to disable
the VCC regulator and the gate driver, and discharge the soft-start capacitor. This feature helps prevent
catastrophic failures from accidental device overheating. When the junction temperature falls below 150°C
(typical hysteresis = 20°C), the gate driver is enabled, the soft-start circuit is released, and normal operation
resumes.

Applications Information
EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
The procedure for calculating the external components is illustrated with the following design example. Referring
to Block Diagram, the circuit is to be configured for the following specifications:
VOUT = 1.0V
VIN = 4.5V to 24V, 12V Nominal
Maximum load current (IOUT(max)) = 5A
Minimum load current (IOUT(min)) = 500 mA (for continuous conduction mode)
Switching Frequency (FSW) = 200 kHz
Maximum allowable output ripple (VOS) = 10 mVp-p
Selected PFET: Vishay Si7465
RFB1 and RFB2:These resistors set the output voltage. The ratio of these resistors is calculated from:
RFB2/RFB1 = (VOUT/0.9V) - 1
For this example, RFB2 / RFB1 = 0.111. Typically, RFB1 and RFB2 should be chosen from standard value
resistors in the range of 1 kto 20 kwhich satisfy the above ratio. For this example, RFB2 = 1.1 k, and
RFB1 = 10 k.
RT, PFET: Before selecting the RTresistor, the PFET must be selected as its turn-on and turn-off delays
affect the calculated value of RT. For the Vishay Si7465 PFET, the difference of its typical turn-off and turn-on
delays is 57 ns. Using Equation 5 at nominal input voltage, RTcalculates to be:
A standard value 21 kresistor is selected. Using Equation 3 the minimum on-time at the PGATE pin, which
occurs at maximum input voltage (24V), is calculated to be 195 ns. This minimum one-shot period is
sufficiently longer than the minimum recommended value of 150 ns. The minimum on-time at the SW node is
longer due to the delay added by the PFET (57 ns). Therefore the minimum SW node on-time is 252 ns at
24V. At the SW node the maximum on-time is calculated to be 1.21 µs at 4.5V.
L1: The main parameter controlled by the inductor value is the current ripple amplitude (IOR). See Figure 27.
The minimum load current for continuous conduction mode is used to determine the maximum allowable
ripple such that the inductor current’s lower peak does not fall below 0 mA. Continuous conduction mode
operation at minimum load current is not a requirement of the LM25085A, but serves as a guideline for
selecting L1. For this example, the maximum ripple current is:
IOR(max) = 2 x IOUT(min) = 1.0 Amp (13)
If an application’s minimum load current is zero, a good initial estimate for the maximum ripple current
(IOR(max)) is 20% of the maximum load current. The ripple calculated in Equation 13 is then used in the
following equation to calculate L1:
(14)
A standard value 6.8 µH inductor is selected. Using this inductance value, the maximum ripple current
amplitude, which occurs at maximum input voltage, calculates to 0.85 Ap-p. The peak current (IPK) at
maximum load current is 5.43A. However, the current rating of the selected inductor must be based on the
maximum current limit value calculated below.

Figure 27. Inductor Current Waveform
RSEN, RADJ:To achieve good current limit accuracy and avoid over designing the power stage components,
the sense resistor method is used for current limiting in this example. A standard value 10 mresistor is
selected for RSEN, resulting in a 50 mV drop at maximum load current, and a maximum 0.25W power
dissipation in the resistor. Since the LM25085A uses peak current detection, the minimum value for the
current limit threshold must be equal to the maximum load current (5A) plus half the maximum ripple
amplitude calculated above:
ICL(min) = 5A + 0.85A/2 = 5.43A
At this current level the voltage across RSEN is 54.3 mV. Adding the current limit comparator offset of 9 mV
(max) increases the required current limit threshold to 6.33A. Using Equation 7 with the minimum value for
the ADJ pin current (32 µA), the required RADJ resistor calculates to:
A standard value 2.05 kresistor is selected. The nominal current limit threshold calculates to:
Using the tolerances for the ADJ pin current and the current limit comparator offset, the maximum current limit
threshold calculates to:
The minimum current limit thresholds calculate to:
The load current in each case is equal to the current limit threshold minus half the current ripple amplitude.
The recommended value of 1000 pF for CADJ is used in this example.
COUT:Since the maximum allowed output ripple voltage is very low in this example (10 mVp-p), the minimum
ripple configuration (R3, C1, and C2 in the Block Diagram) must be used. The resulting ripple at VOUT is then
due to the inductor’s ripple current passing through COUT. This capacitor’s value can be selected based on the
maximum allowable ripple voltage at VOUT, or based on transient response requirements. The following
calculation, based on ripple voltage, provides a first order result for the value of COUT:
where IOR(max) is the maximum ripple current calculated above, and VRIPPLE is the allowable ripple at VOUT.
A 68 µF capacitor is selected. Typically the ripple amplitude will be higher than the calculations indicate due
to the capacitor’s ESR.
R3, C1, C2: The minimum ripple configuration uses these three components to generate the ripple voltage
required at the FB pin since there is insufficient ripple at VOUT. A minimum of 25 mVp-p must be applied to
the FB pin to obtain stable constant frequency operation. R3 and C1 are selected to generate a sawtooth
waveform at their junction, and that waveform is AC coupled to the FB pin via C2. The values of the three

components are determined using the following procedure:
Calculate VA= VOUT - (VSW x (1 (VOUT/VIN(min))))
where VSW is the absolute value of the voltage at the SW node during the off-time, typically 0.5V to 1V
depending on the diode D1. Using a typical value of 0.65V, VAcalculates to 0.49V. VAis the nominal DC
voltage at the R3/C1 junction, and is used in the next equation:
where tON is the maximum on-time (at minimum input voltage), and ΔV is the desired ripple amplitude at the
R3/C1 junction, typically 30 mVp-p. For this example
R3 and C1 are then selected from standard value components to produce the product calculated above.
Typical values for C1 are 3000 pF to 10,000 pF, and R3 is typically from 10 kto 300 k. C2 is then chosen
large compared to C1, typically 0.1 µF. For this example, 3300 pF is chosen for C1, requiring R3 to be 48.9
k. A standard value 48.7 kresistor is selected.
CIN, CBYP:These capacitors limit the voltage ripple at VIN by supplying most of the switch current during the
on-time. At maximum load current, when Q1 is switched on, the current through Q1 suddenly increases to the
lower peak of the inductor’s ripple current, then ramps up to the upper peak, and then drops to zero at turn-
off. The average current during the on-time is the load current. For a worst case calculation, these capacitors
must supply this average load current during the maximum on-time, while limiting the voltage drop at VIN. For
this example, 0.25V is selected as the maximum allowable droop at VIN. Their minimum value is calculated
from:
A 33 µF electrolytic capacitor is selected for CIN, and a 1 µF ceramic capacitor is selected for CBYP. Due to
the ESR of CIN, the ripple at VIN will likely be higher than the calculation indicates, and therefore it may be
desirable to increase CIN to 47 µF or 68 µF. CBYP must be located as close as possible to the VIN and GND
pins of the LM25085A. The voltage rating for both capacitors must be at least 24V. The RMS ripple current
rating for the input capacitors must also be considered. A good approximation for the required ripple current
rating is IRMS > IOUT/2.
D1: A Schottky diode is recommended. Ultra-fast recovery diodes are not recommended as the high speed
transitions at the SW pin may affect the regulator’s operation due to the diode’s reverse recovery transients.
The diode must be rated for the maximum input voltage, and the worst case current limit level. The average
power dissipation in the diode is calculated from:
PD1 = VFx IOUT x (1-D)
where VFis the diode’s forward voltage drop, and D is the on-time duty cycle. Using Equation 1, the minimum
duty cycle occurs at maximum input voltage, and is calculated to be 4.2% in this example. The diode power
dissipation calculates to be:
PD1 = 0.65V x 5A x (1- 0.042) = 3.11W
CVCC:The capacitor at the VCC pin (from VIN to VCC) provides not only noise filtering and stability for the
VCC regulator, but also provides the surge current for the PFET gate drive. The typical recommended value
for CVCC is 0.47 µF. A good quality, low ESR, ceramic capacitor is recommended. CVCC must be located as
close as possible to the VIN and VCC pins. If the selected PFET has a Total Gate Charge specification of
100 nC or larger, or if the circuit is required to operate at input voltages below 7 volts, a larger capacitor may
be required. The maximum recommended value for CVCC is 1 µF.
IC Power Dissipation: The maximum power dissipated in the LM25085A package is calculated using
Equation 12 at the maximum input voltage. The Total Gate Charge for the Si7465 PFET is specified to be 40
nC (max) in its data sheet. Therefore the total power dissipation within the LM25085A is calculated to be:
PDISS = 24V x ((40 nC x 200 kHz) + 1.25 mA) = 222 mW
Using an HVSSOP-PowerPAD-8 package with a θJA of 46°C/W produces a temperature rise of 10°C from
junction to ambient.

Alternate Output Ripple Configurations
The minimum ripple configuration, using C1, C2 and R3, used in the example circuit Figure 28, results in a low
ripple amplitude at VOUT determined mainly by the characteristics of the output capacitor and the ripple current in
L1. This configuration allows multiple ceramic capacitors to be used for VOUT if the output voltage is provided to
several places on the PC board. However, if a slightly higher level of ripple at VOUT is acceptable in the
application, and distributed capacitance is not used, the ripple required for the FB comparator pin can be
generated with fewer external components using the circuits shown below.
Reduced ripple configuration: In Figure 33, R3, C1 and C2 are removed (compared to Figure 28). A low value
resistor (R4) is added in series with COUT, and a capacitor (Cff) is added across RFB2. Ripple is generated at
VOUT by the inductor’s ripple current flowing through R4, and that ripple voltage is passed to the FB pin via Cff.
The ripple at VOUT can be set as low as 25 mVp-p since it is not attenuated by RFB2 and RFB1. The minimum
value for R4 is calculated from:
where IOR(min) is the minimum ripple current, which occurs at minimum input voltage. The minimum value for Cff
is determined from:
where tON(max) is the maximum on-time, which occurs at minimum VIN. The next larger standard value capacitor
should be used for Cff.
Figure 33. Reduced Ripple Configuration
b) Lowest cost configuration: This configuration, shown in Figure 34, is the same as Figure 33 except Cff is
removed. Since the ripple voltage at VOUT is attenuated by RFB2 and RFB1, the minimum ripple required at VOUT is
equal to:
VRIP(min) = 25 mV x (RFB2 + RFB1)/RFB1
The minimum value for R4 is calculated from:
where IOR(min) is the minimum ripple current, which occurs at minimum input voltage.

PC Board Layout
In most applications, the heat sink pad or tab of Q1 is connected to the switch node, i.e. the junction of Q1, L1
and D1. While it is common to extend the PC board pad from under these devices to aid in heat dissipation, the
pad size should be limited to minimize EMI radiation from this switching node. If the PC board layout allows, a
similarly sized copper pad can be placed on the underside of the PC board, and connected with as many vias as
possible to aid in heat dissipation.
The voltage regulation, over-voltage, and current limit comparators are very fast and can respond to short
duration noise pulses. Layout considerations are therefore critical for optimum performance. The layout must be
as neat and compact as possible with all the components as close as possible to their associated pins. Two
major current loops conduct currents which switch very fast, requiring the loops to be as small as possible to
minimize conducted and radiated EMI. The first loop is that formed by CIN, Q1, L1, COUT, and back to CIN. The
second loop is that formed by D1, L1, COUT, and back to D1. The connection from the anode of D1 to the ground
end of CIN must be short and direct. CIN must be as close as possible to the VIN and GND pins, and CVCC must
be as close as possible to the VIN and VCC pins.
If the anticipated internal power dissipation of the LM25085A will produce excessive junction temperatures during
normal operation, a package option with an exposed pad must be used (HVSSOP-PowerPAD-8 or WSON-8).
Effective use of the PC board ground plane can help dissipate heat. Additionally, the use of wide PC board
traces, where possible, helps conduct heat away from the IC. Judicious positioning of the PC board within the
end product, along with the use of any available air flow (forced or natural convection) also helps reduce the
junction temperature.
