Design-in Procedure
The recommended design-in procedure is as follows:
•

•
Determine the current limit threshold (I
must be higher than the normal maximum load current,
allowing for tolerances in the current sense resistor value
and the LM25061 Current Limit threshold voltage. Use
equation 1 to determine the value for R
Determine the maximum allowable power dissipation for
the series pass FET (Q1), using the device’s SOA
information. Use equation 2 to determine the value for

time. The turn-on time can be estimated using the
equations in the TURN-ON TIME section of this data
sheet, but should be verified experimentally. Review the
resulting insertion time, and restart timing if the
LM25061-2 is used.
Choose option A or B from the UVLO section of the
Application Information for setting the UVLO threshold and
hysteresis. Use the procedure for the appropriate option
to determine the resistor values at the UVLO pin.
Choose the appropriate voltage, and pull-up resistor, for
the Power Good output.
Determine the resistor values for the FB pin.

PC Board Guidelines
The following guidelines should be followed when designing
the PC board for the LM25061:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Place the LM25061 close to the board’s input connector
to minimize trace inductance from the connector to the
FET.
Place a small capacitor (1000 pF) directly adjacent to the
VIN and GND pins of the LM25061 to help minimize
transients which may occur on the input supply line.
Transients of several volts can easily occur when the load
current is shut off.
The sense resistor (R
and connected to it using the Kelvin techniques shown in
Figure 7.
The high current path from the board’s input to the load
(via Q1), and the return path, should be parallel and close
to each other to minimize loop inductance.
The ground connection for the various components
around the LM25061 should be connected directly to each
other, and to the LM25061’s GND pin, and then connected
to the system ground at one point. Do not connect the
various component grounds to each other through the high
current ground line.
Provide adequate heat sinking for the series pass device
(Q1) to help reduce stresses during turn-on and turn-off.
The board’s edge connector can be designed to shut off
the LM25061 as the board is removed, before the supply
voltage is disconnected from the LM25061. In Figure 16
the voltage at the UVLO pin goes to ground before V
is removed from the LM25061 due to the shorter edge
connector pin. When the board is inserted into the edge
connector, the system voltage is applied to the LM25061’s
VIN pin before the UVLO voltage is taken high.
