LM2655
2.5A High Efficiency Synchronous Switching Regulator
General Description
The LM2655 is a current-mode controlled PWM step-down
switching regulator. It has the unique ability to operate in
synchronous or asynchronous mode. This gives the
designer flexibility to choose between the high efficiency of
synchronous
operation,
or
the
low
solution
cost
of
asynchronous operation. Along with flexibility, the LM2655
offers high power density with the small footprint of a
TSSOP-16 package.
High efficiency (
>
90%) is obtained through the use of an
internal low ON-resistance (33m
) MOSFET, and an
external N-Channel MOSFET. This feature, together with its
low quiescent current, makes the LM2655 an ideal fit in
portable applications.
Integrated in the LM2655 are all the power, control, and drive
functions for asynchronous operation. In addition, a low-side
driver output allows easy synchronous operation. The IC
uses patented current sensing circuitry that eliminates the
external
current
sensing
resistor
required
by
other
current-mode DC-DC converters. A programmable soft-start
feature limits start up current surges and provides a means
of sequencing multiple power supplies.

Switched-node connection, which is connected to the source of the internal high-side
MOSFET.

CB
Bootstrap capacitor connection for high-side gate drive.
7
AV
IN
Input voltage for control and drive circuits.
8
SD(SS)
Shutdown and Soft-start control pin. Pulling this pin below 0.3V shuts off the regulator. A
capacitor connected from this pin to ground provides a control ramp of the input current.
Do not drive this pin with an external source or erroneous operation may result.
9
FB
Output voltage feedback input. Connected to the output voltage.
10
COMP
Compensation network connection. Connected to the output of the voltage error amplifier.
11
L
DELAY
A capacitor between this pin to ground sets the delay from when the output voltage
reaches 80% of its nominal to when the undervoltage latch protection is enabled.
12
LDR
Low-side FET gate drive pin.
13
GND
Power ground.
14-16
PV
IN
Main power supply input pin. Connected to the drain of the internal high-side MOSFET.
