LM5012: Load Step Response

Arman Hojjatoleslami
Prodigy 10 points
Part Number: LM5012

Tool/software:

I am evaluating the LM5012 in a buck converter design and comparing my results with the datasheet application curves.

Figure 9-5 in the datasheet shows a much faster transient response than I am observing. Can you confirm what output capacitance was used in those measurements?

With a 0-2 A load step (2 µs edge rate), my circuit shows:

- Overshoot to about 3.7 V on a 3.3 V rail when the load returns to 0 A.

- Settling time of roughly 700 µs.

This looks quite a bit slower than the datasheet plot, so I wanted to check if I might be missing something in my setup or compensation.

Thanks!

    Hello Arman,

    I see the datasheet capture goes from 1A to 2.5 were your's starts from zero is most likely a contributing factor to the datasheet looking better. I am unable to find the output capacitance used listed in the DS.

    Hi Oscar,

    You are right about that.

    On another note, I'm also finding that my steady state voltage is higher than what is expected from the feedback loop both in the Webench simulation and in my scope shot.

    With a 200k and 113k configuration I expect a voltage of 3.32V but in simulation I get 3.5V and in application I get 3.4V.

    Can you provide me with the spice files for the LM5012 to better simulate my setup?
