Product details
Overview
LM2590HVS-3.3 from Texas Instruments is a monolithic 1-A, 150-kHz non-synchronous step-down (buck) DC-DC regulator with fixed 3.3-V output, 4.5–60 V input range, ±4% output voltage tolerance over line/load/temperature, and integrated shutdown/soft-start and error flag functions. It delivers stable power in industrial control modules, automotive body electronics, and distributed power systems requiring high-input-voltage conversion.
For engineers reviewing the LM2590HVS-3.3 datasheet, LM2590HVS-3.3 pinout, LM2590HVS-3.3 application, or LM2590HVS-3.3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 60-V max input rating, 90 µA standby current in shutdown mode, 1.2–1.3 V switch saturation voltage at 1 A, thermal shutdown protection, and compatibility with standard TO-263-7 surface-mount layouts.
Technical Context
The LM2590HVS-3.3 integrates a fixed-frequency 150-kHz oscillator, internal compensation, and a bipolar NPN output switch with two-stage current limiting. Its feedback loop references a precise 1.23-V internal bandgap, enabling tight regulation without external resistors for the fixed 3.3-V version.
It implements undervoltage lockout via SD/SS pin control, supports programmable soft-start using an external capacitor on Pin 7, and provides a delay-controlled open-collector error flag (Pin 3) that asserts low when output drops below 95% of nominal-critical for system-level power-good sequencing and fault reporting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3 V ±4% over –40°C to +125°C, 4.5–60 V input, 0.2–1 A load - ensures stable logic supply under wide input transients. |
| Max Input Voltage | 60 V - supports direct connection to 48-V industrial buses or automotive battery rails with surge margin. |
| Switching Frequency | 150 kHz (±15%) - enables use of compact 33–68 µH inductors and reduces EMI compared to lower-frequency alternatives. |
| Output Current | 1 A continuous - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, FPGAs, and interface ICs without external boost stages. |
| Standby Current | 90 µA typical at VIN = 60 V in shutdown - minimizes quiescent drain in always-on systems like telematics or sensor nodes. |
| Thermal Protection | Internal thermal shutdown - prevents latch-up or damage during overload or poor heatsinking conditions. |
| Efficiency | 77% typical at VIN = 12 V, IOUT = 1 A - balances performance and cost for medium-power applications without requiring synchronous rectification. |
Pinout & Package
LM2590HVS-3.3 is housed in a 7-pin TO-263 (KTW) surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad for enhanced heat dissipation. The package measures 10.10 mm × 8.89 mm and is rated for 20°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance with 3 in² copper on one side and 16 in² on the opposite PCB layer.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VIN | Positive input supply | Accepts 4.5–60 V unregulated DC; requires ≥330 µF bulk input capacitance to handle switching current peaks and suppress ripple. |
| 2 - Output | Switch node | Drives external catch diode and inductor; swings between ~VIN–VSAT and –0.5 V; must be routed with short, low-inductance traces. |
| 3 - Flag | Open-collector error flag | Asserts low (≤1 V, sink ≤3 mA) when VOUT < 95% of 3.3 V; requires external pull-up resistor (e.g., 4.7 kΩ to VOUT). |
| 4 - GND | Power ground | Primary return path for switch current and control circuitry; must connect directly to thermal pad and low-impedance ground plane. |
| 5 - Delay | Flag delay timing | Charged by 3 µA internal current source; sets power-up delay before Flag goes high - 0.1 µF yields ~43 ms delay (t = 1.3 V / 3 µA·C). |
| 6 - Feedback | Regulation sense | Internally tied to output for fixed 3.3-V version; not user-accessible - eliminates external resistor divider errors and layout sensitivity. |
| 7 - SD/SS | Shutdown/Soft-start control | Pulled high internally; drives low (≤0.6 V) to enter 90 µA standby; capacitor here controls output ramp rate during startup. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated soft-start | Capacitor-programmable output voltage ramp rate on Pin 7 - prevents inrush current and stabilizes upstream supplies. |
| Power-good flag with delay | Open-collector Flag (Pin 3) delayed by external capacitor on Pin 5 - enables reliable sequencing in multi-rail systems. |
| High-input-voltage capability | 60 V absolute maximum input - supports 48-V industrial, 36-V automotive, and PoE+ auxiliary power designs without pre-regulation. |
| Robust protection suite | Two-stage current limit, thermal shutdown, and undervoltage lockout - ensures safe operation under short-circuit, overtemp, and brownout. |
| Low-standby-power shutdown | 90 µA typical IQ in shutdown - extends battery life in always-on monitoring devices and remote sensors. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Module | Automotive Body Control Unit |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2590T-3.3 | TO-220-7 package; higher RθJA (50°C/W vs. 20°C/W); no exposed thermal pad; identical electrical specs. | Suitable for prototyping or low-volume through-hole assembly; less efficient thermal performance limits sustained 1-A loads in confined spaces. | Select LM2590T-3.3 only when manual soldering or vertical mounting is required; LM2590HVS-3.3 preferred for production SMT and thermal-critical designs. |
| LM2596HV-3.3 | Same 60-V input, but 150-kHz frequency, 3-A rating, larger TO-220/TO-263 packages; higher quiescent current (5 mA active, 240 µA standby). | Over-specified for 1-A needs; better suited for future-proofing or shared design platforms requiring 3-A headroom. | Choose LM2596HV-3.3 only if system requires >1-A margin or shares layout with higher-current variants; LM2590HVS-3.3 offers optimal size/power trade-off at 1 A. |
Compared with LM2590T-3.3, LM2590HVS-3.3 delivers superior thermal management in SMT layouts, while LM2596HV-3.3 trades efficiency and footprint for higher current capacity - making LM2590HVS-3.3 the most balanced choice for space-constrained 1-A industrial and automotive buck applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LM2590HVS-3.3?
The LM2590HVS-3.3 has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 63 V, with recommended operation up to 60 V. This allows direct integration into 48-V industrial systems and automotive applications where load dump transients may exceed 40 V. Operation beyond 60 V risks permanent damage and voids warranty compliance per TI's SNVS084C datasheet Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Does the LM2590HVS-3.3 require external feedback resistors?
No, the LM2590HVS-3.3 does not require external feedback resistors. As a fixed-output variant, its feedback pin (Pin 6) is internally connected to the output, eliminating resistor tolerance errors and layout sensitivity. This simplifies design, improves long-term stability, and reduces bill-of-materials count compared to adjustable regulators like the LM2590HV-ADJ.
How does the Flag pin function on the LM2590HVS-3.3?
The Flag pin (Pin 3) is an open-collector output that pulls low (≤1 V, sink ≤3 mA) when the regulated output falls below 95% of 3.3 V - indicating out-of-regulation. It remains high (via external pull-up) when output is stable. Combined with the Delay pin (Pin 5), it provides programmable power-good timing, enabling safe sequencing in multi-rail systems without additional supervisory ICs.
What thermal performance can be expected from the LM2590HVS-3.3 in a standard PCB layout?
In a standard double-sided PCB layout with 3 in² of 1 oz. copper on the LM2590HVS-3.3 side and ~16 in² on the opposite layer, the LM2590HVS-3.3 achieves a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 20°C/W. This allows full 1-A continuous operation at ambient temperatures up to +105°C without forced airflow or external heatsinking, per TI's SNVS084C Thermal Information section.
Can the LM2590HVS-3.3 be used in shutdown mode with ultra-low power consumption?
Yes, the LM2590HVS-3.3 draws only 90 µA typical quiescent current in shutdown mode (SD/SS pin ≤0.6 V), even at 60 V input. This makes it suitable for battery-backed systems such as smart sensors and telematics modules where standby power budget is critical. The device exits shutdown within microseconds when SD/SS rises above 2 V, supporting fast wake-up response.
