Product details
Overview
LM25005MH/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 42V, 2.5A synchronous step-down DC/DC switching regulator with integrated 160mΩ N-channel MOSFET, current-mode control using emulated ramp, and programmable 50–500kHz oscillator. It delivers regulated output down to 1.225V and operates across 7–42V input for industrial point-of-load conversion.
For engineers reviewing the LM25005MH/NOPB datasheet, LM25005MH/NOPB pinout, LM25005MH/NOPB application, or LM25005MH/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (7–42V), output current capability (2.5A), thermal performance in HTSSOP-20 with exposed pad, soft-start programmability, and SYNC-capable multi-regulator synchronization.
Technical Context
The LM25005MH/NOPB implements peak current-mode control via an emulated inductor current ramp-generated by internal voltage-controlled current source and external RAMP capacitor-eliminating noise-sensitive current sensing and enabling stable operation at very small duty cycles. Its dual-mode VCC bias regulator tracks VIN up to 9V then regulates to 7V, supporting wide-input operation without external LDO.
Functional integration includes cycle-by-cycle current limiting (1.75V threshold), thermal shutdown at 165°C, programmable soft-start via SS pin (10µA current source), and bidirectional SYNC pin enabling master-slave synchronization of multiple regulators. The IS pin enables diode-current sampling for accurate DC-level reconstruction of inductor current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 7V to 42V - supports direct connection to industrial 24V/36V/42V bus rails without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 2.5A continuous - sufficient for mid-power point-of-load applications such as FPGA core supplies or telecom interface rails. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.225V ±1.5% - enables precise output regulation with minimal external resistor tolerance impact. |
| Switch RDS(on) | 170–340mΩ - low conduction loss at full load; optimized for efficiency in 12–24VIN/3.3–5VOUT configurations. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 50–500kHz - set by single RT resistor; allows layout-optimized trade-off between size (higher f) and efficiency (lower f). |
| Thermal Resistance θJA | 35.2°C/W - achievable with 2-layer PCB and proper thermal pad soldering; enables 2.5A operation at TA ≤ 85°C. |
| Soft-Start Current | 7–14µA - controls ramp rate of error amplifier reference; determines startup time with external SS capacitor. |
Pinout & Package
LM25005MH/NOPB is housed in a thermally enhanced 20-pin HTSSOP (PWP) package measuring 6.5mm × 4.4mm with exposed die attach pad (EP) for PCB ground connection to improve heat dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (3,4) | Power input | Main high-voltage supply input (7–42V); connects to bulk capacitor and must be decoupled near pins. |
| SW (17,18) | Switch node | Drain of internal N-MOSFET; connects to inductor and Schottky diode anode; high dv/dt node requiring tight layout. |
| PGND (13,14) | Power ground | Low-side return for switch and IS sense resistor; separate from AGND to minimize noise coupling. |
| AGND (10) | Analog ground | Reference for FB, COMP, RAMP, and internal error amplifier; must be connected to quiet ground plane. |
| FB (7) | Feedback input | Inverting input of error amplifier; senses output via resistive divider; 1.225V reference sets VOUT = 1.225V × (1 + R1/R2). |
| COMP (6) | Error amp output | Connects to FB through type-II compensation network; loop stability depends on RC values here. |
| SS (11) | Soft-start control | Capacitor-connected node; internal 10µA current source ramps reference voltage to limit inrush current. |
| RT (8) | Oscillator set | Resistor-to-AGND sets switching frequency; value selected per f = 1/(RT × 135pF + 580ns). |
| SYNC (5) | Oscillator sync I/O | Bidirectional pin; accepts external clock or synchronizes multiple LM25005s; requires open-drain driver for external sync. |
| SD (2) | Shutdown/stby input | Three-state logic: <0.7V = shutdown, 0.7–1.225V = standby, >1.225V = active; internal 5µA pull-up if floating. |
| BST (20) | Bootstrap supply | Connects to SW via 22nF ceramic capacitor; powers high-side gate driver during MOSFET on-time. |
| PRE (19) | Precharge assist | Open-drain output tied to SW; aids BST capacitor charging under light load or precharged output conditions. |
| RAMP (9) | Emulated ramp input | External capacitor to AGND sets slope; current source scales with (VIN − VOUT), enabling duty-cycle robustness. |
| IS (15,16) | Diode current sense | Connects to Schottky diode anode; samples freewheeling current to reconstruct DC inductor current level. |
| OUT (12) | Regulated output | High-current output node; connects directly to output capacitor and load; routed with low-inductance path. |
| VCC (1) | Bias regulator output | Internal LDO output (7V regulated above 9V VIN); powers control circuitry; requires 0.1–1µF ceramic decoupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Emulated current-mode control | Eliminates current-sense noise and propagation delay, enabling stable regulation at <10% duty cycle in 42V→3.3V conversion. |
| Integrated 42V/160mΩ N-MOSFET | Reduces BOM count and layout area; eliminates external high-voltage switch selection and gate drive design. |
| Programmable soft-start (SS pin) | 10µA current source enables precise control of output voltage ramp rate and inrush current limiting via external capacitor. |
| Synchronization capability (SYNC pin) | Allows deterministic phase alignment of multiple LM25005MH/NOPB regulators to reduce input ripple and EMI peaks. |
| Dual-mode VCC bias regulator | Tracks VIN below 9V and regulates to 7V above 9V-enabling seamless operation across wide input range without auxiliary supply. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5164QPWPRQ1 | 42V input, 1A output, integrated FET, but uses constant-on-time (COT) control instead of emulated current mode. | Lower output current; better transient response in COT mode but less predictable frequency under line/load variation. | Select when 1A output suffices and deterministic frequency is not required; automotive-grade (AEC-Q100) variant available. |
| TPS54240DGQR | 42V input, 2.5A output, current-mode control, but no emulated ramp-uses direct high-side current sense with blanking. | Higher noise sensitivity at light load; requires careful layout to avoid false triggering; lacks SYNC pin. | Select when cost is prioritized over EMI robustness and multi-phase synchronization; smaller 10-pin MSOP package. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LM25005MH/NOPB?
The LM25005MH/NOPB has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 45V, with recommended operating range from 7V to 42V. Exceeding 45V-even transiently-can cause permanent damage. Layout best practices include placing high-quality input capacitors close to VIN and PGND pins to suppress ringing during load transients.
How does the emulated current ramp in the LM25005MH/NOPB improve performance over traditional current sensing?
The LM25005MH/NOPB replaces noisy, delay-prone high-side current sensing with an emulated ramp generated from VIN−VOUT and a sampled diode current level. This eliminates leading-edge spikes and blanking delays, enabling reliable operation at very small duty cycles (e.g., 42V→3.3V) and reducing EMI susceptibility in noisy industrial environments.
Can the LM25005MH/NOPB synchronize with external clock sources?
Yes-the LM25005MH/NOPB features a bidirectional SYNC pin that accepts external clock signals (with >15ns pulse width) or enables self-synchronization among multiple devices. When multiple LM25005MH/NOPB units are connected, the highest-frequency unit acts as master, ensuring deterministic phase alignment and reduced input ripple in multi-rail systems.
What thermal performance can be expected from the LM25005MH/NOPB in a standard 2-layer PCB layout?
With proper thermal pad soldering to a 2-layer PCB (≥2 in² copper pour connected to EP), the LM25005MH/NOPB achieves θJA ≈ 35.2°C/W. At 2.5A output and 24V input, typical power dissipation is ~1.8W, resulting in ~63°C junction rise above ambient-well within the 125°C max operating temperature when ambient stays ≤ 62°C.
Is an external bootstrap capacitor required for the LM25005MH/NOPB, and what value is recommended?
Yes-an external ceramic capacitor between BST and SW is mandatory for high-side gate drive. Texas Instruments recommends a 22nF X7R or C0G capacitor placed adjacent to the BST and SW pins. This capacitor charges during SW low-time via the internal bootstrap diode and ensures sufficient gate voltage for the integrated N-MOSFET across the full duty cycle range.
