Product details
Overview
LM2586S-5.0 from Texas Instruments is a monolithic 3A flyback/boost/forward switching regulator IC with fixed 5.0V output, NPN internal switch rated for 65V standoff and 3.0A peak current, ±4% system output voltage tolerance over line and load, 4V–40V input range, and adjustable 100–200 kHz switching frequency - used in isolated DC-DC power supplies for industrial control and telecom interface modules.
For engineers reviewing the LM2586S-5.0 datasheet, LM2586S-5.0 pinout, LM2586S-5.0 application, or LM2586S-5.0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its integrated soft-start, current-mode control for transient immunity, external shutdown capability, thermal/UVLO protection, and compatibility with standard flyback transformers (e.g., Schott 67141450, Renco RL-5751) per TI Application Note SNVS121C.
Technical Context
The LM2586S-5.0 implements current-mode PWM control with an internal 3.0A NPN power switch and error amplifier referenced to a 5.0V internal bandgap (4.913–5.088V over temperature). Its oscillator supports resistor-programmed frequency (100–200 kHz) or synchronization via the SYNC pin, enabling multi-device phase alignment without external clock generators.
Protection architecture includes cycle-by-cycle current limiting, undervoltage lockout (3.05–3.75V), thermal shutdown (>150°C junction), and soft-start (11 μA soft-start current). The device operates across −40°C to +125°C junction temperature and draws <60 μA in shutdown mode - critical for low-power standby systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0V ±4% over line/load/temperature - guarantees stable logic rail generation without external feedback resistors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 4V to 40V - supports wide-range industrial inputs including 12V/24V nominal buses with brownout margin. |
| Switch Rating | NPN transistor, 3.0A peak current, 65V VCEO - enables direct drive of flyback primaries up to 24W with minimal external components. |
| Switching Frequency | Adjustable 100–200 kHz - allows optimization of transformer size and EMI filtering; synchronized operation supported. |
| Efficiency | 80% at 12VIN, 0.6A load - reflects real-world boost/flyback performance with standard diodes (1N5820) and electrolytic output caps. |
| Shutdown Current | <60 μA - enables ultra-low quiescent power in battery-backed or energy-harvesting applications. |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 35°C/W (TO-263 package, 0.4896 in² copper) - defines heatsink requirements for continuous 3A operation at 70°C ambient. |
Pinout & Package
LM2586S-5.0 uses a 7-lead TO-263 (S) surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad - optimized for high-current power delivery and PCB heat spreading. Pin numbering follows TI standard top-view orientation (pin 1 = Freq Adj./ON-OFF).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Frequency Adjust / ON-OFF Control | Resistor-to-ground sets switching frequency; ≥3V applied shuts down IC - dual-function pin requires isolation diode for clean shutdown control. |
| 2 | Ground | Power ground reference for internal circuits and switch emitter - must connect directly to low-impedance PCB ground plane. |
| 3 | Feedback | Monitors output via resistive divider; compares to 5.0V internal reference - not used in fixed-output LM2586S-5.0 (internally tied). |
| 4 | Compensation | Error amplifier output - connects to RC network for loop stability; transconductance = 0.75 mmho typical. |
| 5 | Sync | Accepts external clock signal (0.625–1.00V threshold) to synchronize switching frequency with other regulators. |
| 6 | Switch | Collector of internal NPN transistor - drives primary winding of flyback transformer or boost inductor. |
| 7 | Input Voltage | Main supply input (4–40V) - requires local 100μF + 0.1μF decoupling per TI layout guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Current-mode PWM control | Enables fast transient response and inherent cycle-by-cycle current limiting - eliminates need for external current-sense amplifiers in flyback designs. |
| Integrated soft-start | 11 μA soft-start current ramps output voltage gradually - prevents inrush into large output capacitors and avoids input bus droop. |
| Thermal + UVLO + current protection | Single-chip protection stack ensures robust operation under overload, cold start, or high-ambient conditions without external circuitry. |
| External frequency sync | Allows precise timing coordination across multiple LM2586S-5.0 units - essential for noise-sensitive applications like data acquisition front-ends. |
| Standard transformer compatibility | Validated with Schott T7, Renco RL-5751, and Coilcraft S6000-A - reduces design risk and accelerates qualification for medical/industrial isolation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar flyback regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2586T-5.0 | Same electrical specs; packaged in 7-lead TO-220 (T) with vertical leadform - θJA = 45°C/W (4 in² copper) vs. 35°C/W for S-package. | Requires through-hole mounting and larger heatsink area; less suitable for high-density SMT layouts. | Select LM2586T-5.0 only when mechanical constraints favor TO-220 or legacy board compatibility is required. |
| UC3844BD1R2G | Current-mode PWM controller (not integrated switch); requires external MOSFET; fixed 250 kHz oscillator; no built-in soft-start or shutdown pin. | Supports higher power (>50W) but increases component count, layout complexity, and design validation effort. | Choose UC3844BD1R2G only when >3A output current or custom topology (e.g., active clamp forward) is needed - not a drop-in replacement. |
Compared with LM2586T-5.0, the LM2586S-5.0 offers superior thermal performance in SMT layouts; versus UC3844BD1R2G, it delivers faster time-to-market for ≤24W isolated supplies by integrating the power switch and protection functions.

FAQ
What is the maximum output power achievable with LM2586S-5.0 in a flyback configuration?
The LM2586S-5.0 supports up to ~24W output in flyback topology using standard transformers like Schott 67141450, constrained by its 3.0A switch current limit and 65V standoff. At 12V input and 5V/1.1A output (per datasheet), efficiency reaches 80%, confirming practical power delivery within thermal limits of the TO-263 package when properly heatsinked.
Does LM2586S-5.0 require external feedback resistors for regulation?
No - the LM2586S-5.0 integrates a precision 5.0V reference and internal feedback connection; external resistors are unnecessary. Unlike the adjustable LM2586-ADJ version, the -5.0 variant routes the feedback node internally to achieve fixed 5.0V output with guaranteed ±4% tolerance across line, load, and temperature.
Can LM2586S-5.0 be synchronized to an external clock signal?
Yes - the SYNC pin (Pin 5) accepts TTL/CMOS-compatible clock signals with 0.625–1.00V threshold. When driven externally, the LM2586S-5.0 locks its oscillator to the incoming frequency, enabling noise reduction in multi-rail systems and eliminating beat frequencies in dense PCB layouts.
What transformer turns ratio is recommended for LM2586S-5.0 in a 12V-to-5V flyback design?
For 12V input to 5V output, TI recommends the Schott 67141450 (T7) transformer with 1:1 primary-to-secondary turns ratio, validated in Figure 5 of SNVS121C. This configuration delivers 1A output with <50 mV ripple and meets efficiency and regulation specs without custom magnetics.
How does the shutdown function operate on LM2586S-5.0, and what is the quiescent current in that state?
The LM2586S-5.0 enters shutdown when ≥3V is applied to Pin 1 (Freq Adj./ON-OFF), drawing <60 μA total supply current - 16 μA from VIN and 40 μA from the shutdown pin. An isolation diode (e.g., 1N4148) is mandatory to prevent interference with frequency adjustment during active operation.
