If the capacitor used for C2 does not have sufficient ESR, R3 is added in series as shown in the Block Diagram.
The value chosen for C2 is application dependent, and it is recommended that it be no smaller than 3.3 µF. C2
affects the ripple at V
OUT
, and transient response. Experimentation is usually necessary to determine the
optimum value for C2.
C3: The capacitor at the VCC pin provides noise filtering and stability, prevents false triggering of the V
CC
UVLO
at the buck switch on/off transitions, and limits the peak voltage at V
CC
when a high voltage with a short rise time
is initially applied at V
IN
. C3 should be no smaller than 0.47 µF, and should be a good quality, low ESR, ceramic
capacitor, physically close to the IC pins.
C4: The recommended value for C4 is 0.022 µF. A high quality ceramic capacitor with low ESR is recommended
as C4 supplies the surge current to charge the buck switch gate at each turn-on. A low ESR also ensures a
complete recharge during each off-time.
C5: This capacitor suppresses transients and ringing due to lead inductance at VIN. A low ESR, 0.1 µF ceramic
chip capacitor is recommended, located physically close to the LM5010A.
C6: The capacitor at the SS pin determines the soft-start time, i.e. the time for the reference voltage at the
regulation comparator, and the output voltage, to reach their final value. The capacitor value is determined from
the following:
(22)
For a 5 ms softstart time, C6 calculates to 0.022 µF.
D1: A Schottky diode is recommended. Ultra-fast recovery diodes are not recommended as the high speed
transitions at the SW pin may inadvertently affect the IC’s operation through external or internal EMI. The diode
should be rated for the maximum V
IN
(60V), the maximum load current (1A), and the peak current which occurs
when current limit and maximum ripple current are reached simultaneously (I
PK
in Figure 10), previously
calculated to be 1.87A. The diode’s forward voltage drop affects efficiency due to the power dissipated during the
off-time. The average power dissipation in D1 is calculated from:

where I

FINAL CIRCUIT
The final circuit is shown in Figure 12, and its performance is shown in Figure 13 and Figure 14. Current limit
measured approximately 1.3A.
