National Semiconductor LM5118 Wide Voltage Range Buck‑Boost Controller Datasheet

The LM5118 is a wide voltage range Buck-Boost controller from TI that uses the minimum external components to achieve high performance and high cost-effective Buck-Boost regulator. When the input voltage is less than the output voltage, the LM5118 operates in Buck mode, and when the input voltage is greater than the output voltage, the LM5118 operates in Buck-Boost mode. The LM5118 integrates high side and low side MOSFET drivers, supports current mode control, and provides overcurrent protection, thermal shutdown and enable input protection functions.

About this manual

The LM5118 is a wide voltage range buck‑boost switching regulator controller designed for high‑performance, cost‑efficient power conversion. It operates as a buck regulator when the input voltage exceeds the output and smoothly transitions to buck‑boost mode as the input approaches the output, making it well‑suited for automotive applications. The controller includes high‑side and low‑side MOSFET drivers, emulated current‑mode control, and protection features such as current limit and thermal shutdown.

The device is supplied in a TSSOP‑20EP package with an exposed die‑attach pad for thermal dissipation. Detailed pin descriptions, absolute maximum ratings, electrical characteristics, and typical performance graphs are provided, along with ordering information and application circuit examples.
