Product details
Overview
LM2585SX-5.0/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a monolithic 5-V fixed-output step-up (boost) and flyback DC-DC converter IC with integrated 3-A NPN switch, 100-kHz fixed-frequency oscillator, current-mode control, and ±4% system output voltage tolerance over line and load. It operates from 4 V to 40 V input and supports isolated or non-isolated topologies in industrial power supplies and battery-backed systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM2585SX-5.0/NOPB datasheet, LM2585SX-5.0/NOPB pinout, LM2585SX-5.0/NOPB application, or LM2585SX-5.0/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (4–40 V), output current capability (≤1.1 A typical at 5 V), thermal performance in TO-263 package, and compatibility with standard flyback transformers or boost inductors.
Technical Context
The LM2585SX-5.0/NOPB implements current-mode control using an internal error amplifier (transconductance = 0.75 mmho typ., gain = 165 V/V typ.) and comparator that compares ramp voltage (proportional to switch current) against the error amp output. This architecture delivers improved line/load transient response and inherent cycle-by-cycle current limiting.
Its 100-kHz fixed-frequency oscillator enables predictable EMI filtering and small magnetics sizing. The device integrates undervoltage lockout (3.3 V threshold), thermal shutdown, soft-start (11 μA start-up current), and switch protection-enabling robust operation without external supervision circuitry in flyback or boost configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0 V ±4% over full line/load/temperature range - ensures stable rail for logic or analog circuitry without external feedback resistors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 4 V to 40 V - supports wide-input applications including automotive (cold-crank), industrial 24-V rails, and multi-cell battery systems. |
| Switch Current Rating | 3 A peak, 65-V blocking - enables high-power boost/flyback designs with external diode and transformer selection per TI's recommended guidelines. |
| Switching Frequency | 100 kHz (±15 kHz) - balances efficiency, magnetics size, and EMI filter complexity; fixed frequency simplifies layout and noise mitigation. |
| Reference Voltage | 5.0 V at FB pin (4.913–5.088 V min/max) - defines regulation setpoint; internal reference eliminates need for precision external divider in fixed-output version. |
| Efficiency | 80% at VIN = 12 V, IOUT = 0.6 A - reflects real-world performance in typical boost configuration with standard external components. |
| Thermal Resistance (θJA) | 35°C/W (DDPAK/TO-263, 0.4896 in² copper) - enables >1.5 W continuous dissipation without heatsink under defined PCB layout conditions. |
Pinout & Package
LM2585SX-5.0/NOPB is packaged in a 5-pin DDPAK/TO-263 (KTT) surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad (10.16 mm × 8.42 mm nominal body size). The package provides low thermal resistance and is optimized for high-current switching regulator layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN | Input Supply | Primary DC input connection (4–40 V); requires local ceramic bypass capacitor near pin for stability and EMI suppression. |
| SW | Switch Node | Collector of internal 3-A NPN transistor; connects to primary winding (flyback) or inductor (boost); high dv/dt node requiring careful routing. |
| GND | Power Ground | Common return for input capacitor, output rectifier, and control circuitry; must be tied to thermal pad for optimal thermal performance. |
| FB | Feedback Input | Senses regulated output via internal 5-V reference; in fixed 5-V version, internally connected to output divider - no external resistor required. |
| COMP | Error Amplifier Output | Provides compensation node for loop stability; connects to RC network between COMP and GND to tailor 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 in cost-sensitive boost/flyback designs. |
| Current-Mode Control | Enables fast transient response and inherent current limiting without additional sensing resistors - critical for reliable overload handling. |
| Internal Soft-Start | 11 μA soft-start current limits in-rush during power-up, preventing input rail collapse and reducing stress on input capacitors and diodes. |
| Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) | 3.3 V turn-on threshold prevents erratic operation during brownout or cold-crank conditions - improves system robustness in automotive environments. |
| Thermal Shutdown Protection | Activates at 150°C junction temperature and latches off until cool-down - safeguards device and surrounding components during sustained overload. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2585T-5.0/NOPB | TO-220-5 package (14.986 mm × 10.16 mm); higher θJA (65°C/W, no heatsink) vs. LM2585SX-5.0/NOPB (35°C/W with 0.4896 in² copper). | Preferred for prototyping, through-hole assembly, or lower-power applications (<0.8 A continuous) where thermal mass of TO-220 suffices. | Select LM2585T-5.0/NOPB when manual soldering, socket testing, or mechanical mounting constraints favor through-hole form factor. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current supported by the LM2585SX-5.0/NOPB in boost configuration?
The LM2585SX-5.0/NOPB supports up to 1.1 A continuous output current in boost topology at VIN = 12 V, as specified in Section 6.6 of the datasheet. Output current is limited by internal switch current (3 A peak), thermal dissipation, and external component selection - exceeding 1.1 A requires careful thermal design and may reduce reliability.
Does the LM2585SX-5.0/NOPB require external feedback resistors to set the 5-V output?
No. The LM2585SX-5.0/NOPB is a fixed-output variant with internal feedback divider configured for 5.0 V regulation. The FB pin is internally connected to the reference; no external resistors are needed - simplifying design and improving accuracy versus adjustable versions.
Can the LM2585SX-5.0/NOPB be used in flyback topology with primary-side regulation only?
Yes. The LM2585SX-5.0/NOPB is explicitly designed for flyback operation with primary-side sensing. Its current-mode control and internal 5-V reference enable accurate output regulation without optocouplers or secondary-side feedback - as demonstrated in Figure 22–27 of the datasheet.
What is the purpose of the COMP pin on the LM2585SX-5.0/NOPB, and how is it used?
The COMP pin is the error amplifier output, used to connect external compensation components (typically RC network to GND) that stabilize the control loop. Proper COMP network design ensures adequate phase margin (>45°) and transient response - TI provides design guidelines and example values in Section 8.2.1 and Figure 18–21.
How does the LM2585SX-5.0/NOPB handle input undervoltage conditions?
The LM2585SX-5.0/NOPB incorporates an undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit with 3.3 V turn-on threshold and hysteresis. When input drops below ~3.05 V, the device disables switching and enters low-current standby mode (IS ≈ 11 mA), preventing erratic operation and ensuring clean restart once VIN exceeds 3.75 V.
