Product details
Overview
LM25574Q0MTX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 42-V, 0.5-A synchronous step-down switching regulator with integrated 750-mΩ N-channel MOSFET, adjustable output down to 1.225 V, ±1.5% feedback reference accuracy, and emulated current-mode control architecture. It operates across 6–42 V input, delivers robust industrial power conversion in TSSOP-16, and supports frequency synchronization for EMI reduction.
For engineers reviewing the LM25574Q0MTX/NOPB datasheet, LM25574Q0MTX/NOPB pinout, LM25574Q0MTX/NOPB application, or LM25574Q0MTX/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (6–42 V), output current capability (0.5 A), soft-start adjustability, cycle-by-cycle current limiting, thermal shutdown, and master/slave sync capability for multi-rail systems.
Technical Context
The LM25574Q0MTX/NOPB implements emulated current-mode control using a reconstructed ramp signal-generated via internal voltage-controlled current source (IRAMP = (10 µA × (VIN − VOUT)) + 50 µA) and external RAMP capacitor-eliminating leading-edge spikes and enabling stable operation at low duty cycles. Its dual-mode VCC regulator maintains ~7 V bias above 9 V VIN while tracking VIN below that threshold.
It features programmable oscillator frequency (50 kHz–1 MHz via RT resistor), SYNC pin supporting both master/slave synchronization and external clock locking, and integrated protection including cycle-by-cycle current limit (0.7 A typ), thermal shutdown (165 °C), and remote shutdown with hysteresis (0.1 V). The IS pin enables diode-current-based DC level sampling for accurate current reconstruction.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 6 V to 42 V - supports wide industrial bus voltages including 12 V, 24 V, and 36 V nominal rails without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 0.5 A continuous - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and interface ICs in space-constrained designs. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.225 V ±1.5% - enables precise output regulation down to 1.225 V and simplifies resistor-divider design for common 3.3 V/5 V outputs. |
| Switch RDS(on) | 750 mΩ max - reduces conduction loss and thermal stress in high-input-voltage buck stages. |
| Operating Frequency | 50 kHz to 1 MHz - allows trade-off between inductor size (higher f = smaller L) and efficiency (lower f = lower switching loss). |
| Soft-Start Current | 10 µA typ - sets rise time of internal error amplifier reference via external SS capacitor; ensures controlled output ramp-up. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 165 °C with 25 °C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during overload or poor heatsinking; automatic recovery after cooldown. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-16 package (5.00 mm × 4.40 mm), thermally enhanced with exposed PGND pad; suitable for automated assembly and moderate-power density PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Main input supply connection | Accepts 6–42 V unregulated input; absolute max 45 V; requires local ceramic bypassing near pin. |
| VCC | Bias regulator output | Supplies internal circuitry; regulated to ~7 V above 9 V VIN; accepts auxiliary 7.5–14 V supply to reduce dissipation. |
| SW | Switching node | Drives external Schottky diode and buck inductor; connects internally to N-MOSFET source; high dv/dt node requiring tight layout. |
| BST | Bootstrap capacitor input | Charges external 0.022 µF BST–SW capacitor via internal diode during SW off-time to drive high-side gate. |
| PRE | Pre-charge assist output | Open-drain pulse (250 ns/cycle) connected to SW to boost BST capacitor charge under light load or pre-biased output conditions. |
| PGND | Power ground return | Low-side reference for IS sense resistor and PRE/SW paths; must be routed separately from AGND to avoid noise coupling. |
| AGND | Analog ground reference | Reference for FB, COMP, RAMP, RT, SS; requires star-point connection to PGND at single point near IC. |
| FB | Feedback input | Connects to resistor divider from OUT; internal 1.225 V reference sets output voltage; bias current ≤17 nA minimizes divider error. |
| COMP | Error amplifier output | Interface for type-II compensation network (R/C between COMP and FB); sets loop stability and transient response. |
| RAMP | Emulated current ramp node | External capacitor (50–2000 pF) sets slope; current source scales with (VIN − VOUT); enables sub-50% duty cycle operation. |
| RT | Oscillator frequency set | Resistor to AGND programs frequency (50 kHz–1 MHz); value calculated per TI Equation 1; placement critical for noise immunity. |
| SYNC | Frequency synchronization I/O | Open-drain output / input; enables multi-device sync or external clock lock; sink impedance 110 Ω, threshold 1.3 V (falling). |
| SD | Shutdown control | Three-state logic: <0.7 V = shutdown (70 µA IQ), 0.7–1.225 V = standby, >1.225 V = active; internal 5 µA pull-up if floating. |
| SS | Soft-start timing | 10 µA current source charges external capacitor; holds COMP reference low until SS voltage reaches threshold; prevents inrush. |
| IS | Diode current sense | Connects to Schottky anode; internal 250 mΩ sense resistor + sample/hold captures re-circulating current for DC ramp level. |
| OUT | Regulated output | High-current path to load; connects directly to output capacitor; low-ESR ceramics recommended for stability and ripple suppression. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LM25574Q0MTX/NOPB?
The LM25574Q0MTX/NOPB has an absolute maximum input voltage (VIN to GND) of 45 V, with recommended operating range from 6 V to 42 V. Exceeding 45 V risks permanent damage. Input transients-such as load dump in automotive systems-must be clamped externally to stay within this limit, and proper PCB layout with localized ceramic bypassing is essential to suppress ringing.
Does the LM25574Q0MTX/NOPB require an external current-sense resistor?
No, the LM25574Q0MTX/NOPB does not require an external current-sense resistor. It uses an internal 250-mΩ sense element between IS and PGND to sample the re-circulating diode current, combined with an emulated ramp generated via the RAMP pin and external capacitor. This architecture eliminates external sensing components while maintaining accurate current-mode control.
How is the switching frequency set on the LM25574Q0MTX/NOPB?
The switching frequency of the LM25574Q0MTX/NOPB is set by a single resistor (RT) connected between the RT pin and AGND. Frequency ranges from 50 kHz to 1 MHz depending on RT value, calculated using TI's Equation 1: RT = (1/F) − 580 ns. The resistor must be placed close to the IC with short traces to minimize noise coupling into the oscillator circuit.
Can the LM25574Q0MTX/NOPB synchronize to an external clock?
Yes, the LM25574Q0MTX/NOPB can synchronize to an external clock via the SYNC pin, which functions as an open-drain input. An external clock with frequency higher than the free-running oscillator frequency and pulse width ≥15 ns can be applied. The internal SYNC driver also allows multiple LM25574Q0MTX/NOPB devices to self-synchronize, with the highest-frequency unit acting as master.
What is the purpose of the PRE pin on the LM25574Q0MTX/NOPB?
The PRE (pre-charge) pin on the LM25574Q0MTX/NOPB is an open-drain output that pulses low for 250 ns each switching cycle just before the high-side switch turns on. It assists charging of the BST–SW bootstrap capacitor under light-load conditions or when the output is pre-biased, ensuring reliable gate drive for the internal N-MOSFET and preventing boot-strap under-voltage shutdown.
