Hi team,
What is the loop response of LMR60440-Q1?
Customer use it in 12V-5V Fsw=2MHz system and they found that the crossing frequency is 37kHz. This is a bit low.
Did you test the loop response on EVM?
Regards,
Peter

Hi Peter,
The loop response depends heavily on the external components used. Can you share the customer schematic?

Hi Peter,
For that schematic RT = 68k, sets the switching frequency around 500k, not 2M. For this the 37kHz crossover frequency seems reasonable.

Hi Niranjan,
Sorry I sent the wrong schematic before, please check the right one.

Hi Peter,
Here the device is set to be in AUTO mode and the load is light (50 mA written on the schematic). So the device operates in PFM.
PFM is like a hysteretic mode of control and is inherently stable. Loop response is not very meaningful in that case. And the actual switching frequency would also be reduced at light loads. So the reduced crossover frequency is not anything to be concerned about.

Hi Peter,
Let me know if you have any further questions. Otherwise you can close the thread by clicking the resolved button.

Hi Niranjan,
They tested this bode plot in full load, not light load.

Hi Peter,
Do they have any other capacitors on the 3.3V output rail? Maybe at any downstream components?
