Product details
Overview
LM25010MHX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 42-V, 1-A step-down switching regulator with integrated N-channel buck switch and constant ON-time control architecture. It operates across 6 V to 42 V input, delivers up to 1 A output current, features valley current limiting at 1.25 A, and supports programmable switching frequency up to 1 MHz - used in automotive post-regulation and telecom DC-DC conversion.
For engineers reviewing the LM25010MHX/NOPB datasheet, LM25010MHX/NOPB pinout, LM25010MHX/NOPB application, or LM25010MHX/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include its 2.5 V ±2% feedback reference, no-loop-compensation design, thermal shutdown at 175°C, RON/SD shutdown interface, and WSON-10 thermally enhanced package compatibility.
Technical Context
The LM25010MHX/NOPB implements a constant ON-time regulation scheme where tON varies inversely with VIN, enabling nearly constant operating frequency across line and load variations. Its valley current limit detection (1.25 A) operates during OFF-time via ISEN–SGND sensing, while the internal 7-V bias regulator bypasses to VIN below 8.9 V and regulates above that threshold.
Control relies on FB-to-2.5 V comparison and an internal 11.5 µA soft-start current source charging SS to 2.5 V. The integrated N-channel MOSFET driver uses BST–SW bootstrap operation with 260 ns minimum OFF-time to ensure gate drive recharge, and overvoltage protection triggers at 2.9 V on FB.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 6 V to 42 V - supports wide industrial and automotive battery-supplied systems without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 1 A continuous - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and interface ICs in harsh environments. |
| Switching Frequency | Up to 1 MHz - enables compact magnetics and high-density layout; frequency set by RON resistor and VIN. |
| Feedback Reference | 2.5 V ±2% - sets precise output voltage via external resistor divider (VOUT = 2.5 × (R1+R2)/R2). |
| Current Limit Threshold | 1.25 A (typical) - valley-current limiting protects against overload and short-circuit conditions. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 175°C with 20°C hysteresis - disables switching until junction cools to ~155°C, preventing permanent damage. |
| VCC Bias Regulator | 7 V regulated (VIN > 8.9 V); tracks VIN otherwise - eliminates need for external bias supply in most applications. |
| Soft Start Current | 11.5 µA - charges external capacitor linearly to control ramp rate of output voltage during startup. |
Pinout & Package
LM25010MHX/NOPB is packaged in a thermally enhanced 10-pin WSON (DPR) with 4.00 mm × 4.00 mm body size and exposed thermal pad. The package supports high-power density designs and requires PCB ground connection to the exposed pad for optimal thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Power Input | Main supply input (6–42 V); connects to input bypass capacitors near RTN. |
| SW | Switch Node | Drain of internal N-MOSFET; connects to inductor, freewheeling diode, and bootstrap capacitor. |
| BST | Bootstrap Supply | Charges bootstrap capacitor (C4) from VCC during OFF-time to drive high-side gate. |
| ISEN | Current Sense Input | Senses recirculating inductor current during OFF-time; triggers valley current limit at 1.25 A. |
| SGND | Current Sense Ground | Return path for ISEN current; must be routed separately from power ground to avoid noise coupling. |
| RTN | Analog Ground Return | Ground return for internal circuitry except current sense path; connects to system ground plane. |
| FB | Feedback Input | Compares output voltage (via resistor divider) to 2.5 V reference; controls ON-time initiation. |
| SS | Soft Start Control | Internal 11.5 µA current source charges external capacitor to ramp reference voltage during startup. |
| RON/SD | ON-Time & Shutdown | Resistor sets ON-time; grounding forces shutdown and discharges SS capacitor. |
| VCC | Bias Regulator Output | Supplies internal circuitry; self-biased from VIN (6–8.9 V) or regulated at 7 V (VIN > 8.9 V). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No loop compensation required | Constant ON-time architecture eliminates external compensation network, reducing BOM count and layout sensitivity. |
| Ultra-fast transient response | Direct FB-to-ON-time control enables sub-microsecond load step recovery without phase-margin tuning. |
| Programmable soft start | External capacitor on SS pin sets controlled output voltage ramp time, preventing inrush current and overshoot. |
| Integrated high-voltage bias regulator | Eliminates need for external LDO or charge pump; supports direct connection to 42-V rail with automatic mode switching. |
| Valley current limiting | Detects inductor current at valley point during OFF-time, enabling accurate current foldback and stable light-load operation. |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | 175°C trip and 155°C recovery prevent thermal oscillation and enable safe fault recovery in enclosed environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM25011MHX/NOPB | Higher 3-A output current rating; identical pinout and control architecture; shares same WSON-10 package. | Required when load exceeds 1 A; suitable for higher-power MCU or multi-rail systems needing margin. | Select LM25011MHX/NOPB if peak load current exceeds 1.1 A or future scalability is needed. |
| LM5164QDDARQ1 | Wider 4.5–100 V input range; 1-A rating; integrated high-side MOSFET; requires external compensation. | Used in 48-V industrial or commercial systems with higher input surges; lacks valley current limit. | Choose LM5164QDDARQ1 only when input exceeds 42 V or AEC-Q100 Grade 0 (–40°C to 150°C) is mandatory. |
Compared with LM25010MHX/NOPB, LM25011MHX/NOPB offers higher current headroom in identical footprint, while LM5164QDDARQ1 trades no-loop-compensation simplicity for extended input range and different protection behavior - neither is pin-compatible, but both serve adjacent 1-A buck use cases.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the LM25010MHX/NOPB?
The LM25010MHX/NOPB supports a maximum input voltage of 42 V continuously, with absolute maximum rating of 45 V on VIN. Operation beyond 42 V risks exceeding recommended operating limits and may trigger thermal shutdown or reduce reliability. The device is optimized for automotive (12 V/24 V) and industrial (24 V/48 V) rails within this range.
Does the LM25010MHX/NOPB require external compensation components?
No, the LM25010MHX/NOPB does not require external compensation components due to its constant ON-time control architecture. This eliminates the need for type-II or type-III compensation networks, simplifying design, reducing bill-of-materials cost, and improving transient response predictability across line and load variations.
How is the switching frequency set on the LM25010MHX/NOPB?
The switching frequency of the LM25010MHX/NOPB is set by an external resistor (RON) connected between VIN and the RON/SD pin, and varies inversely with input voltage. For example, with RON = 200 kΩ and VIN = 24 V, typical frequency is ~400 kHz; it can be programmed from <100 kHz up to 1 MHz depending on RON value and VIN.
What package type is used for the LM25010MHX/NOPB?
The LM25010MHX/NOPB uses the 10-pin WSON (DPR) package with 4.00 mm × 4.00 mm body size and exposed thermal pad. This thermally enhanced package is optimized for high-power-density layouts and requires soldering the exposed pad to the PCB ground plane for effective heat dissipation.
Is the LM25010MHX/NOPB qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the LM25010MHX/NOPB is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications (Grade 1: –40°C to 125°C ambient). It meets HBM ESD Level 2 (±2000 V) and CDM Level C5 (±750 V), and includes features such as thermal shutdown, input UVLO, and robust current limiting essential for automotive subsystems.
