Product details
Overview
LM2586SX-ADJ/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a monolithic step-up (boost) and flyback switching regulator IC with an adjustable output voltage, 4 V to 40 V input range, 3 A NPN internal switch rated for 65 V standoff, current-mode control, and programmable 100–200 kHz switching frequency. It delivers stable DC-DC conversion in space-constrained industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LM2586SX-ADJ/NOPB datasheet, LM2586SX-ADJ/NOPB pinout, LM2586SX-ADJ/NOPB application, or LM2586SX-ADJ/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its adjustable reference (1.230 V), ±4% system output tolerance over line/load, external shutdown capability, soft-start function, and compatibility with standard flyback transformers and boost inductors.
Technical Context
The LM2586SX-ADJ/NOPB implements current-mode PWM control using an internal error amplifier (transconductance = 3.200 mmho typ., gain = 670 V/V typ.) referenced to a precision 1.230 V bandgap. Its oscillator supports resistor-programmed (100–200 kHz) or external synchronization via pin 6, enabling noise-sensitive multi-rail designs.
Protection includes undervoltage lockout (3.30 V threshold), thermal shutdown, cycle-by-cycle current limiting (4.0 A typ.), and switch saturation voltage of 0.45 V at 3.0 A. The device operates across −40°C to +125°C junction temperature with integrated soft-start (11.0 μA startup current) and <60 μA shutdown supply current.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar switching regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2587SX-ADJ/NOPB | Same pinout, identical electrical specs, but rated for higher ambient temperature (−40°C to +150°C vs. +125°C) | Suitable for under-hood automotive or high-temp industrial enclosures where junction temp exceeds 125°C | Select when extended thermal rating is required; otherwise functionally interchangeable |
| TPS40210DRCT | Current-mode controller (external MOSFET), 4.5–52 V input, 1.22 V ref, no integrated switch | Used where higher efficiency (>95%), higher current (>5 A), or discrete FET selection is needed | Choose for designs requiring >3 A output or custom FET optimization; adds external gate driver complexity |
Compared with LM2587SX-ADJ/NOPB, the LM2586SX-ADJ/NOPB offers identical functionality at lower cost and standard temperature grade; versus TPS40210DRCT, it trades external FET flexibility for integration simplicity and reduced BOM count in ≤3 A applications.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for stable operation of the LM2586SX-ADJ/NOPB?
The LM2586SX-ADJ/NOPB requires a minimum input voltage of 4 V to maintain regulation and internal bias functionality. Below this threshold, undervoltage lockout activates at 3.30 V (typ.), disabling the switch and reducing supply current to 16 μA. This ensures reliable startup from partially discharged batteries or brown-out conditions in industrial systems using the LM2586SX-ADJ/NOPB.
How is the output voltage adjusted on the LM2586SX-ADJ/NOPB?
The LM2586SX-ADJ/NOPB uses an external resistor divider (R1, R2) connected between output, feedback pin (pin 3), and ground to set output voltage per VOUT = 1.230 V × (1 + R1/R2). The internal 1.230 V reference is trimmed to ±2.2%, and R2 should be 1–5 kΩ using 1% metal film resistors for best temperature stability. This configuration is confirmed in Section 7.3.3 and Electrical Characteristics Table 6.8 for the LM2586SX-ADJ/NOPB.
Can the LM2586SX-ADJ/NOPB be synchronized to an external clock source?
Yes, the LM2586SX-ADJ/NOPB supports external synchronization via pin 6 (Sync). A negative-going pulse below 0.875 V threshold synchronizes the internal oscillator to an external clock, enabling noise reduction in multi-rail systems. Figure 24 and Section 7.3.6 confirm this capability for the LM2586SX-ADJ/NOPB, with 700 ns delay from sync edge to switch turn-on observed in test circuits.
What thermal considerations apply to the LM2586SX-ADJ/NOPB in TO-263 package?
The LM2586SX-ADJ/NOPB in DDPAK/TO-263 has RθJA = 35°C/W (with 0.4896 in² copper) and RθJC = 2°C/W. To avoid thermal shutdown at 150°C max junction temperature, maximum power dissipation must stay below [150 − TA]/35 W. Layout requires soldering the exposed thermal pad to ≥0.4896 in² of 1 oz. copper; Section 9.3 and Thermal Information Table 6.4 specify these requirements for the LM2586SX-ADJ/NOPB.
Does the LM2586SX-ADJ/NOPB include built-in protection features?
Yes, the LM2586SX-ADJ/NOPB integrates undervoltage lockout (3.30 V threshold), thermal shutdown, cycle-by-cycle current limiting (4.0 A typ.), and switch overvoltage protection (65 V standoff). These functions operate without external components and are verified in Absolute Maximum Ratings (Section 6.1), Recommended Operating Ratings (Section 6.3), and Feature Description (Section 7.3) of the LM2586SX-ADJ/NOPB datasheet.
