Product details
Overview
LM2585S-ADJ/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a monolithic step-up (boost) and flyback DC-DC converter IC featuring a 3-A NPN internal switch, 4 V to 40 V input range, 100-kHz fixed-frequency operation, current-mode control, and adjustable output voltage via external resistor divider. It delivers ±4% system output voltage tolerance over line and load, and is used in industrial power supplies, battery-powered boost converters, and isolated multi-output flyback designs.
For engineers reviewing the LM2585S-ADJ/NOPB datasheet, LM2585S-ADJ/NOPB pinout, LM2585S-ADJ/NOPB application, or LM2585S-ADJ/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 65-V switch standoff rating, internal soft-start function, undervoltage lockout (3.3 V threshold), thermal shutdown protection, and compatibility with standard inductors and flyback transformers per TI's design guides.
Technical Context
The LM2585S-ADJ/NOPB implements current-mode control using an internal 100-kHz oscillator and cycle-by-cycle peak current limiting. Its error amplifier compares feedback voltage against a precise 1.230 V reference (±1.5 mV line regulation) and drives the PWM comparator with a transconductance of 3.2 mmho (typ) and voltage gain of 670 V/V (typ).
Operation supports both non-isolated boost and isolated flyback topologies: in boost mode, energy transfers from input to output via inductor charge/discharge; in flyback mode, energy stores in transformer primary during switch-on and releases to secondary during switch-off, enabling multiple output rails and input-output isolation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4 V to 40 V - supports wide-input industrial and automotive battery systems without pre-regulation. |
| Switch Current Rating | 3 A (peak) - enables up to ~1.2 A output in boost configuration at 12 V out, requiring external current limiting per datasheet guidance. |
| Switch Breakdown Voltage | 65 V - allows safe operation with 48-V input transients or flyback reflected voltages up to 60 V. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 100 kHz (±15 kHz) - permits use of compact, low-cost magnetics and reduces EMI compared to higher-frequency alternatives. |
| Reference Voltage | 1.230 V (±2.2 mV over temp) - sets output voltage accuracy for adjustable configurations via R1/R2 divider. |
| Output Voltage Tolerance | ±4% over line/load/temperature - ensures stable regulation across full operating conditions without post-regulation. |
| Soft-Start Current | 11.0 μA (typ) - controls ramp rate of output voltage during startup to limit inrush into bulk capacitors. |
Pinout & Package
LM2585S-ADJ/NOPB is available in the KTT (DDPAK/TO-263-5) package: 10.16 mm × 8.42 mm body, surface-mount, thermally enhanced with exposed die pad. Pin 1 = Input, Pin 2 = Ground, Pin 3 = Feedback, Pin 4 = Output (switch collector), Pin 5 = Compensation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (IN) | Power Input | Connects to unregulated DC source (4–40 V); bypassed with ≥100 μF electrolytic + 0.1 μF ceramic for stability. |
| Pin 2 (GND) | Ground Reference | Common return for input capacitor, feedback divider, compensation network, and thermal pad connection. |
| Pin 3 (FB) | Feedback Input | Senses divided output voltage; regulates output by comparing to 1.230 V internal reference (adjustable mode only). |
| Pin 4 (SW) | Switch Collector | Drives external diode/transformer primary; handles 3-A peak current and 65-V blocking; requires snubber for flyback. |
| Pin 5 (COMP) | Error Amplifier Output | Provides compensation node for loop stability; connected to RC network between FB and GND per design requirements. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Current-mode control | Enables fast transient response, inherent cycle-by-cycle current limiting, and simplified loop compensation vs. voltage-mode. |
| Internal soft-start | Reduces input inrush current and output overshoot during power-up, eliminating need for external soft-start circuitry. |
| Thermal shutdown & UVLO | Protects device under overload or low-input conditions: UVLO activates below 3.05 V, thermal shutdown triggers at 150°C junction. |
| Fixed 100-kHz frequency | Ensures predictable EMI profile and enables consistent magnetic component selection across designs. |
| Adjustable output (1.23 V reference) | Supports custom output voltages from ~1.25 V to >40 V using two external resistors-no fixed-voltage variants required. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar DC-DC controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2587S-ADJ/NOPB | Same pinout, identical architecture, but rated for 5-A switch and 65-V standoff; higher thermal resistance in TO-263 package. | Better suited for >1.5-A boost or high-power flyback where higher switch current margin is required. | Select when output current demand exceeds 1.2 A or when operating near thermal limits of LM2585S-ADJ/NOPB. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current achievable with LM2585S-ADJ/NOPB in boost configuration?
The LM2585S-ADJ/NOPB integrates a 3-A NPN switch, but output current in boost mode depends on input voltage, output voltage, efficiency, and thermal design. At 12-V output from 5-V input, typical continuous output is ~1.2 A. Per datasheet Section 6.3, output current must be externally limited to ≤3 A to protect the switch; higher loads require heatsinking or derating.
Does LM2585S-ADJ/NOPB support flyback topology with multiple isolated outputs?
Yes, LM2585S-ADJ/NOPB is explicitly designed for flyback applications including single-, dual-, and triple-output configurations. TI's datasheet provides six reference designs (Figures 22–27) and transformer selection tables (T5–T7) supporting up to three isolated rails-e.g., +5 V, +12 V, and −12 V-with cross-regulation achieved via transformer turns ratios and current-mode control.
What is the purpose of the COMP pin on LM2585S-ADJ/NOPB, and how is it configured?
The COMP pin is the error amplifier output, used to connect the compensation network (typically an RC series from COMP to FB) that stabilizes the control loop. Its voltage swings between 0.25 V and 2.8 V (typ). Proper compensation ensures phase margin >45° and prevents oscillation-TI recommends starting with the networks shown in Figures 47–48 and adjusting based on measured step response.
How does the undervoltage lockout (UVLO) function in LM2585S-ADJ/NOPB?
LM2585S-ADJ/NOPB incorporates an internal UVLO circuit that disables switching when input voltage falls below 3.05 V (min), preventing erratic operation during brownout. The turn-on threshold is 3.30 V (typ), with hysteresis of ~0.25 V. This protects downstream circuitry and ensures clean startup once input rises above the threshold.
Can LM2585S-ADJ/NOPB be used without a heat sink in TO-263 package?
Yes, LM2585S-ADJ/NOPB in KTT (DDPAK/TO-263) package can operate without an external heat sink at moderate loads and ambient temperatures. With 0.136 in² copper area, θJA is 56°C/W; at 1 W dissipation and 25°C ambient, junction temperature reaches ~81°C-within the −40°C to +125°C operating range. For >1.5 W dissipation or >60°C ambient, a heat sink or increased copper area is recommended.
