The LM5126A-Q1 is a synchronous boost controller. The device provides a regulated output voltage for lower or equal input voltage also supporting VI to VOUT bypass mode to save power. The device can be stacked in combination with LM5125A-Q1 for 3-phase operation.

Dynamically program VOUT using the analog or digital ATRK/DTRK function. VI is supported down to 2.5V after startup as the internal VCC supply is automatically switched from VBIAS to VOUT for VBIAS < 4.5V. The fixed switching frequency is set between 100kHz and 2.2MHz through a resistor on the RT-pin or the SYNCIN clock. The switching modes FPWM or diode emulation can be changed during operation.

The implemented protections peak current limit, average input current limit, average inductor current monitor, overvoltage and undervoltage protection, and the thermal shutdown protect the device and the application.
