LM5008 Evaluation Board
Introduction
The LM5008 evaluation board is designed to provide the
design engineer with a fully functional step down switching
regulator to evaluate LM5008 regulator IC,in a typical envi-
ronment.
The performance of evaluation board is as follows:
• Input range: 12V to 95V, transients upto 100V (absolute
• Output voltage: 10V
• Output current: 300mA
• Measured efficiency: 89% at 200mA and V
• Board size: 31.9mm x 44.4mm
Theory of Operation
The LM5008 Step down switching regulator features all of
the functions needed to implement low cost, efficient, Buck
bias regulators. This high voltage regulator contains an
100V, 0.5A N-channel Buck switch. The regulator is based
on hysteretic control scheme using an on-time inversely
proportional to input voltage (V
operating frequency to remain relatively constant with load
and input voltage voltage variations. The hysteretic control
requires no control loop compensation, while providing fast
load transient response. Additional protection features in-
clude : Thermal Shutdown, V
maximum duty–cycle limiter. LM5008 can be used in numer-
ous applications to efficiently regulate step down higher
voltage inputs. This regulator is well suited for 48V telecom
and the new 42V automotive power bus ranges.
The LM5008 operates in discontinuous conduction mode at
light load currents or continuous conduction mode at heavier
load currents. In discontinuous conduction mode, current
through the output inductor starts at zero and ramps up to
the peak value during the buck switch on time, and then back
to zero during buck switch off time. In discontinuous conduc-
tion mode, the operating frequency can be relatively low and

will vary with load. Therefore at light loads the conversion
efficiency is maintained , since switching losses decrease
with reduction in switching frequency.
The evaluation board just needs one high voltage power-
supply (upto 100V and current rating of 0.5A). The maximum
output power is 3 watts. Either an electronic load or resistor
bank can be used for testing evaluation board.
Start-up Feature
There is no soft-start feature in LM5008, and it normally
comes up with full load current to supply the power de-
manded by the load within a short time.The LM5008 con-
tains an intelligent current limit OFF timer intended to reduce
the foldback characteristic inherent with fixed off-time over-
current protection. If the current in the Buck FET exceeds
550mA the present cycle is immediately terminated (cycle by
cycle current limit). Following the termination of the cycle a
non-resetable current limit off timer is initiated. The duration
of off time is a function of the external setting resistor (Rcl)
and the FB pin voltage. When FB pin voltage = 0V the
current limit off time is internally preset to 35µs. This condi-
tion occurs in short circuit operation when a maximum
amount of off time is required.
In cases of overload (not complete short circuit) the current
limit off time can be reduced as a function of the output
voltage (measured at the FB pin). Reducing the off time
during smaller overloads reduces the amount of foldback
and also reduces the initial start-up time.
Low Ripple Configuration
For applications where lower output voltage ripple is re-
quired the output load can be connected directly to the low
ESR output capacitor, as shown below. The evaluation board
is laid out in such a way that, user can use either (high ripple
or low ripple) options by simply shifting the output connector.
The series resistor (R) will degrade the load regulation
however.
