TYPICAL APPLICATION CIRCUIT DESCRIPITON
The Application Example on the following page shows the
LM27222 being used with National’s LM27212, a 2-phase
hysteretic current mode controller. Although this circuit is
capable of operating from 5V to 28V, the components are
optimized for an input voltage range of 9V to 28V. The
high-side FET is selected for low gate charge to reduce
switching losses. For low duty cycles, the average current
through the high-side FET is relatively small and thus we
trade off higher conduction losses for lower switching losses.
The low-side FET is selected solely on R
conduction losses. If the input voltage range were 4V to 6V,
the MOSFET selection should be changed. First, much lower
voltage FETs can be used, and secondly, high-side FET

losses. Of course with a lower input voltage, the input ca-
pacitor voltage rating can be reduced and the inductor value
can be reduced as well. For a 4V to 6V application, the
inductor can be reduced to 200nH to 300nH. The switching
frequency of the LM27212 is determined by the allowed
ripple current in the inductor. This circuit is set for approxi-
mately 300kHz. At lower input voltages, higher frequencies
are possible without suffering a significant efficiency loss.
Although the LM27222 can support operating frequencies up
to 2MHz in many applications, the LM27212 should be lim-
ited to about 1MHz. The control architecture of the LM27212
and the low propagation times of the LM27222 potentially
gives this solution the fastest transient response in the
industry.
