Product details
Overview
LM2585S-3.3/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a monolithic 3-A step-up (boost) and flyback DC-DC converter IC with fixed 3.3-V output, 4-V to 40-V input range, 100-kHz fixed-frequency operation, NPN internal switch rated for 65-V standoff, and ±4% system output voltage tolerance over line and load. It serves as the core controller in isolated or non-isolated high-efficiency power supplies for industrial sensors and embedded systems requiring stable low-noise 3.3-V rails.
For engineers reviewing the LM2585S-3.3/NOPB datasheet, LM2585S-3.3/NOPB pinout, LM2585S-3.3/NOPB application, or LM2585S-3.3/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3-A integrated NPN switch capability, current-mode control architecture for transient response, soft-start function to limit in-rush, and compatibility with standard flyback transformers and boost inductors per TI's design guides.
Technical Context
The LM2585S-3.3/NOPB implements current-mode control with an internal 100-kHz oscillator, error amplifier with 1.193 mmho transconductance and 260 V/V gain, and cycle-by-cycle current limiting. Its feedback pin references a trimmed 3.3-V internal bandgap, enabling precise regulation without external resistive dividers.
Operation supports both boost and flyback topologies: in boost mode, it regulates output voltage > VIN using external inductor/diode; in flyback mode, it drives a transformer primary with energy transfer to secondary windings, supporting single- or multi-output isolation. Undervoltage lockout activates below 3.3 V, and thermal shutdown protects at 150°C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3 V ±4% over full line/load/temperature range - eliminates need for external feedback divider and ensures stable logic supply for microcontrollers or FPGAs. |
| Input Voltage Range | 4 V to 40 V - supports wide-range industrial inputs including 5-V, 12-V, 24-V, and 36-V bus systems without pre-regulation. |
| Switch Current Rating | 3 A continuous - enables up to ~1.2 A output at 3.3 V in boost configuration (accounting for efficiency), sufficient for powering multiple digital loads. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 100 kHz (±15%) - allows use of compact, low-cost magnetics while maintaining EMI manageability in space-constrained designs. |
| Reference Voltage | 3.3 V at FB pin (3.242–3.358 V min/max) - defines regulation setpoint with tight tolerance, directly tied to internal bandgap and used by error amplifier for closed-loop control. |
| UVLO Threshold | 3.30 V (3.05–3.75 V) - prevents erratic startup during brownout conditions and ensures reliable enablement only when input meets minimum operational requirement. |
| Efficiency | 76% at VIN = 5 V, ILOAD = 0.3 A - reflects real-world performance in low-input, moderate-load boost applications typical in battery-powered instrumentation. |
Pinout & Package
LM2585S-3.3/NOPB is packaged in a 5-pin DDPAK/TO-263 (KTT) thermally enhanced surface-mount package measuring 10.16 mm × 8.42 mm, optimized for PCB heat spreading and high-current switching applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN | Input Supply | Primary DC input connection (4–40 V); must be decoupled with low-ESR capacitor near pin to stabilize switching loop. |
| SW | Switch Node | Collector of internal 3-A NPN transistor; connects to inductor (boost) or transformer primary (flyback); requires careful layout to minimize ringing. |
| GND | Power Ground | Common return for input, output, and internal circuitry; must tie to large copper pour for thermal and noise control. |
| FB | Feedback Input | Senses regulated output via direct connection (for 3.3-V version); internal reference compares this to 3.3 V to adjust duty cycle. |
| COMP | Error Amplifier Output | Provides compensation node for external RC network to stabilize control loop; sets bandwidth and phase margin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 3-A NPN Switch | Eliminates external transistor and driver, reducing BOM count and board area while maintaining 65-V blocking capability for robustness against voltage spikes. |
| Current-Mode Control | Enables fast transient response to load steps and inherent cycle-by-cycle current limiting, simplifying overcurrent protection design in variable-load systems. |
| Internal Soft-Start | Gradually ramps peak switch current at startup to limit in-rush into output capacitors-critical for preventing input rail collapse in multi-rail systems. |
| Thermal Shutdown & UVLO | Automatically disables switching under overtemperature (>150°C) or undervoltage (<3.05 V) conditions, protecting both IC and downstream circuitry without external supervision. |
| System-Level ±4% Tolerance | Guarantees final output accuracy across all operating conditions-reducing need for post-regulation LDOs in cost-sensitive industrial applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-up/flyback regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2587S-3.3/NOPB | Same pinout and 3.3-V output, but includes integrated diode and higher 5-A switch rating; larger thermal footprint (TO-220-5). | Better suited for higher-output-current boost designs (>1.2 A) where board space allows TO-220 mounting and heat sinking. | Select LM2587S-3.3/NOPB when output current exceeds 1.2 A or when integrated diode simplifies layout; verify thermal derating at full load. |
| TPS61088RHLR | 5.5-V max input, 12-A switch, 2.5-MHz operation; requires external feedback divider; no flyback support. | Optimized for compact, high-efficiency boost from Li-ion or USB-PD sources-not suitable for 24-V+ or isolated flyback use. | Choose TPS61088RHLR only for low-input, high-current portable applications; LM2585S-3.3/NOPB remains preferred for wide-VIN industrial/flyback needs. |
Compared with LM2587S-3.3/NOPB, LM2585S-3.3/NOPB offers smaller DDPAK footprint and lower quiescent current (11 mA vs. 15 mA), while TPS61088RHLR trades wide-VIN capability for ultra-high switching frequency and current density-making LM2585S-3.3/NOPB the optimal choice for ruggedized 4–40-V systems requiring flyback flexibility.

FAQ
What topology does LM2585S-3.3/NOPB support?
The LM2585S-3.3/NOPB supports both step-up (boost) and flyback converter topologies. In boost mode, it uses an external inductor and diode to generate output voltages greater than input; in flyback mode, it drives a transformer primary to provide isolated outputs. It does not support buck or forward-topology configurations without external modifications beyond datasheet guidance.
Does LM2585S-3.3/NOPB require external feedback resistors?
No, LM2585S-3.3/NOPB has an internally trimmed 3.3-V reference connected directly to the FB pin, eliminating the need for external feedback resistors. The FB pin is connected to the output in standard boost or flyback configurations, enabling fixed 3.3-V regulation without resistor networks or trimming.
What is the maximum output current achievable with LM2585S-3.3/NOPB?
LM2585S-3.3/NOPB features a 3-A internal NPN switch, but maximum sustainable output current depends on topology and efficiency. In boost configuration at VIN = 5 V, it delivers up to ~1.2 A at 3.3 V (76% efficiency). In flyback mode with proper transformer selection (e.g., Coilcraft S6000-A), it supports up to 1.4 A on the 3.3-V winding per TI's Figure 22 design example.
Can LM2585S-3.3/NOPB operate from a 3.5-V input?
No-LM2585S-3.3/NOPB has a minimum recommended input voltage of 4 V and an undervoltage lockout threshold of 3.30 V (3.05–3.75 V). At 3.5 V, the device may not start or may exhibit unstable operation; operation below 4 V violates recommended ratings and risks failure to regulate or repeated UVLO cycling.
How is thermal performance managed in LM2585S-3.3/NOPB?
LM2585S-3.3/NOPB uses a DDPAK/TO-263 (KTT) package with RθJA = 56°C/W on minimal copper and 26°C/W with 1.0064 in² copper area. Thermal shutdown activates at 150°C junction temperature. Designers must calculate power dissipation (PD ≈ (VIN × IIN) − (VOUT × IOUT)) and ensure PD × RθJA + TA ≤ 125°C to maintain continuous operation within the −40°C to +125°C junction range.
