LM3478QMMX/NOPB is an automotive-qualified current-mode controller for low-side external N-MOSFET boost, flyback, and SEPIC power stages.

Best for

  • Automotive-qualified boost, flyback, and SEPIC controllers
  • Applications requiring external MOSFET selection and current-limit programming
  • Input rails from 2.97 V to 40 V

Avoid if

  • A fully integrated power stage is required
  • The design cannot accommodate external current sensing and compensation
  • Required switching frequency is outside 100 kHz to 1 MHz

Check before use

  • Confirm the external MOSFET is suitable for the DR pin gate-drive voltage.
  • Set RSEN with duty-cycle-dependent current-limit behavior considered.
  • Keep high-current switching loops and ISEN routing short to reduce noise.
