LM25118: LM25118 Related Detail Reqired

Part Number: LM25118
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LM5155, LM5115, LM2775

Hii Team .

Please find attached the Image for review.

Scheme 1:  

Input voltage (Battery charger output ): 3.2V to 4.2V

Output voltage: 4V

Output current: 6A

  • Hi Shubham,

    Thank you for designing with the LM25118.  You may not be able to use the LM25118 in such way because it requires at least 5V input to start up.  Once it starts up, the input voltage can drop to 3V.  This is mentioned in the datasheet. 

    For your 3.2 to 4V input, you may consider to add a small boost to generate 10V bias rail to feed into the VCC pin, then the LM25118 can operate and support your 6A load.

    You may also consider the LM5115 in a boost to produce 4V.  Also your 4.2V seems being higher than 4Vout, the LM5155 uses a rectifier diode, which makes the equivalent Vout = VF+Vout = ~4.4V (Schottky), and you should be able to just use a boost to get the 4Vout regulation.

    Thanks,

  • Hii Youhao,

    Thanks ,

    Can you plz give me the Buck Boost part for given application.

    Input voltage (Battery charger output ): 3.2V to 4.2V

    Output voltage: 4V

    Output current: 6A

    The part is required low cost .

    Thanks,

    Shubham 

     

  • Hii Youhao,

    This charge pump in our case 

  • This charge pump concept does not work because the LM25118 may not power up to switch and drive the charge pump in the first place.   Please consider an independent charge pump device like LM2775 to produce 5V for the VCC pin from your 3.2V to 4.2V input line. 

    Thanks,

    Youhao
