Product details
Overview
LM2585T-3.3/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a monolithic step-up (boost) and flyback DC-DC converter IC featuring a 3-A NPN internal switch, 100-kHz fixed-frequency operation, ±4% system output voltage tolerance, and 4 V to 40 V input range - designed for compact, cost-effective isolated or non-isolated power supplies in industrial control and telecom infrastructure.
For engineers reviewing the LM2585T-3.3/NOPB datasheet, LM2585T-3.3/NOPB pinout, LM2585T-3.3/NOPB application, or LM2585T-3.3/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include its 3.3-V fixed output, thermal shutdown protection, current-mode control architecture, soft-start function, and compatibility with standard flyback transformers and boost inductors per TI's design guides.
Technical Context
The LM2585T-3.3/NOPB implements current-mode control with cycle-by-cycle current limiting, using an internal 100-kHz oscillator to drive the 3-A NPN switch. Its error amplifier compares feedback from the 3.3-V output against a precision 3.3-V reference (±1.5% over temperature), generating a compensation signal that modulates duty cycle via peak-current sensing.
Operation supports both boost and flyback topologies: in boost mode, it regulates output > VIN using external inductor/diode; in flyback mode, it enables multiple outputs with transformer isolation, leveraging the same 3-A switch and integrated undervoltage lockout (3.3 V threshold), thermal shutdown, and soft-start (11 µA start-up current).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3 V ±4% over line/load/temperature - ensures stable logic supply without external feedback resistors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 4 V to 40 V - supports wide-input industrial rails, automotive battery transients, and distributed power architectures. |
| Switch Current Rating | 3 A continuous - enables up to ~1.2 A output at 3.3 V in boost configuration (with external current limiting). |
| Switching Frequency | 100 kHz ±15% - allows use of small, standardized magnetics while balancing EMI and efficiency trade-offs. |
| Oscillator Accuracy | ±15% over temperature - sufficient for stable regulation without requiring external timing components. |
| Reference Voltage | 3.3 V ±1.5% at feedback pin - defines output accuracy baseline; measured directly at FB pin under specified conditions. |
| Soft-Start Current | 11 µA typical - controls ramp rate of output voltage during startup to limit inrush into bulk capacitors. |
Pinout & Package
LM2585T-3.3/NOPB is packaged in a 5-pin TO-220 (NDH) with exposed tab for thermal dissipation. Pin 1 = Input, Pin 2 = Ground, Pin 3 = Feedback, Pin 4 = Output Switch, Pin 5 = Compensation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (IN) | Power Input | Accepts 4–40 V DC; connects to input capacitor and current-sense path for UVLO and supply current monitoring. |
| Pin 2 (GND) | Ground Reference | Common return for internal circuitry, switch emitter, and feedback network; requires low-inductance PCB connection. |
| Pin 3 (FB) | Feedback Input | Monitors regulated output via resistive divider (not required for fixed 3.3-V version); internally tied to 3.3-V reference. |
| Pin 4 (SW) | Switch Collector | Drives external diode/transformer primary; sustains up to 65 V; carries full switch current (3 A max). |
| Pin 5 (COMP) | Error Amplifier Output | Provides compensation node for loop stability; connects to RC network to set bandwidth and phase margin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 3-A NPN Switch | Eliminates need for external high-current transistor; rated for 65-V blocking and 0.65-V saturation at 3 A. |
| Current-Mode Control | Enables fast transient response, inherent cycle-by-cycle current limiting, and simplified loop compensation. |
| Internal Soft-Start | Reduces input inrush current by gradually ramping COMP voltage; prevents overshoot and stress on input capacitors. |
| Thermal Shutdown & UVLO | Protects device under overload or low-input conditions: shuts down below 3.3 V input and above 150°C junction temp. |
| Fixed 3.3-V Output | Removes external resistor divider; simplifies BOM and layout for standard logic supply generation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-up/flyback converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2585T-5.0/NOPB | Fixed 5-V output; identical pinout, package, and topology support; reference voltage 5.0 V ±1.5%. | Suitable where 5-V logic or interface rails are required instead of 3.3 V; no change to transformer/inductor selection needed. | Select when system requires 5-V output; shares same layout, thermal design, and external component guidelines. |
| LM2587T-3.3/NOPB | Same family, but optimized for higher efficiency in flyback mode; includes enhanced transformer drive capability and tighter reference tolerance (±1.2%). | Better suited for multi-output isolated supplies with stringent cross-regulation requirements; not recommended for simple boost. | Prefer for new flyback designs demanding improved load regulation; not drop-in compatible due to different compensation behavior. |
Compared with LM2585T-3.3/NOPB, the LM2585T-5.0/NOPB offers identical mechanical and thermal design but targets 5-V systems, while the LM2587T-3.3/NOPB improves flyback performance at the cost of reduced boost-mode flexibility - making the original optimal for cost-sensitive, single-rail 3.3-V boost applications.

FAQ
What topology does the LM2585T-3.3/NOPB support?
The LM2585T-3.3/NOPB supports boost (step-up), flyback, and forward converter topologies. Its internal 3-A NPN switch, current-mode control, and 100-kHz oscillator enable flexible implementation - with boost used for non-isolated >VIN outputs, and flyback for isolated or multiple-output designs. The datasheet provides verified reference circuits for all three configurations.
Does the LM2585T-3.3/NOPB require external feedback resistors?
No, the LM2585T-3.3/NOPB has an internally trimmed 3.3-V reference and fixed feedback network, eliminating external resistors. Pin 3 (FB) is internally connected to the reference; external dividers are only needed for adjustable versions. This reduces BOM count and improves output accuracy stability.
What is the maximum output current achievable with LM2585T-3.3/NOPB in boost mode?
In boost configuration, LM2585T-3.3/NOPB delivers up to ~1.2 A at 3.3 V with proper thermal management and external current limiting - since output current is not internally limited in boost mode. The 3-A switch rating and 65-V standoff allow safe operation, but output current must be externally constrained to prevent switch overstress.
How does the soft-start function operate in LM2585T-3.3/NOPB?
The LM2585T-3.3/NOPB uses a 11-µA internal current source to charge the compensation (COMP) pin capacitor, gradually increasing duty cycle during startup. This limits inrush current into output capacitors and prevents output overshoot - critical for protecting downstream logic and minimizing input supply stress.
Is LM2585T-3.3/NOPB RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, LM2585T-3.3/NOPB is RoHS compliant and lead-free, as indicated by the "/NOPB" suffix per Texas Instruments' packaging nomenclature. It meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 and is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 standards.
