The LM5168E is an extended temperature range, (–55°C to +150°C) synchronous buck converter designed to regulate over a wide input voltage range, minimizing the need for external surge suppression components. A minimum controllable on time of 50ns facilitates large step-down conversion ratios, enabling the direct step-down from a 48V nominal input to low-voltage rails for reduced system complexity and design cost. The LM5168E operates during input voltage dips as low as 6V, at nearly 100% duty cycle if needed, making the device an excellent choice for wide input supply range industrial and high cell count battery pack applications.

With integrated high-side and low-side power MOSFETs, the LM5168E delivers up to 0.3A of output current. A constant on-time (COT) control architecture provides nearly constant switching frequency with excellent load and line transient response. The LM5168E is available in the auto mode version, which enables ultra-low IQ and diode emulation mode operation for high light-load efficiency.
