LM5122: LM5122MH design in problem

Part Number: LM5122

Hi Sir,

I have already designed in the LM5122 schematic fully based on the reference "Design : 198 LM5122MH/NOPB" from TI's engineer but the actual pc-board can NOT step up to dc100V properly under no load.In fact,when power up with Vin=10Vdc then the system is with Vout=10Vdc only under no load, the expected boost function is not active obviously!

WEBENCH ® Design Report
Design : 198 LM5122MH/NOPB
LM5122MH/NOPB 5V-30V to 100.00V @ 0.1A
VinMin = 5.0V
VinMax = 30.0V
Vout = 100.0V
Iout = 0.1A
Device = LM5122MH/NOPB
Topology = Boost
Created = 2022-07-14 11:05:35.467
BOM Cost = NA
BOM Count = 26

Below is my schematic.

Please kindly help to point out what's the root-cause of the boosting failure.

Appreciated so much.

  • Hello, 

    Thanks for reaching out. Is there any condition of Vin and load at which you can see the correct output voltage? 

    Kind regards,
    EM

  • Hello EM,

    No! The Vout always keeps almost the same voltage as the Vin under no load condition.

    I have checked the UVLO pin voltage which is 2.7V, it's much greater than 1.2V, it should work with boost function.

    I also tried to pull up the UVLO pin voltage up to 10V(same as Vin) but the Vout was still with10V, without boost function.

    I can make sure all parts on board which are all under good soldering conditions with correct part values and correct polarities, I do wonder which points I should check.

    Please kindly guide me to find out the root cause, thanks a lot!

  • Hello EM,

    For the boost failure issue, do you have any further ideas for fixing?

    Please share with me, thanks so much.

  • Hello EM,

    Good day!

    For my boost function failure issue, do you have any ideas for fixing?

    Please kindly share with me, thank you very much.

  • Hi Bob,

    Thanks for your reply. It seems like the highside MOSFET deos not have the right direction with respect to drain and source. Please have a look at the datasheet example/EVM and make sure that drain and source has the right direction. The MOSFET you are using might have been damaged, so we recommend to try with a new one.

    Best regards,
