Product details
Overview
LM2590HVS-5.0 from Texas Instruments is a monolithic 1-A, 150-kHz non-synchronous step-down (buck) DC-DC converter with fixed 5.0-V output, 4.5–60-V input range, and ±4% output voltage tolerance over line/load/temperature. It integrates internal frequency compensation, thermal shutdown, current limiting, and an error flag for power-good monitoring in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LM2590HVS-5.0 datasheet, LM2590HVS-5.0 pinout, LM2590HVS-5.0 application, or LM2590HVS-5.0 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 60-V max input rating, 90-µA standby current in shutdown mode, 1.23-V internal feedback reference, and TO-263-7 package with exposed thermal pad for high-power-density designs.
Technical Context
The LM2590HVS-5.0 implements a fixed-frequency PWM control architecture with an internal 150-kHz oscillator, enabling predictable EMI behavior and simplified filter design. Its non-synchronous topology uses an integrated NPN bipolar switch with 0.95-V typical saturation voltage at 1 A, requiring an external Schottky catch diode (e.g., 1N5824).
Supervisory functions include undervoltage lockout via SD/SS pin threshold (1.3 V typ), programmable soft-start using an external capacitor on Pin 7, and a delay-controlled open-collector flag output (Pin 3) that asserts low when output drops below 95% of nominal - with delay timing set by a capacitor on Pin 5 and internal 3-µA current source.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0 V ±4% over –40°C to +125°C, 7–60 V input, 0.2–1 A load - ensures stable rail for microcontrollers and sensors without external feedback resistors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 60 V - supports wide-input industrial, automotive, and telecom applications including 24-V and 48-V bus systems. |
| Switching Frequency | 150 kHz (±15%) - enables use of compact 33–68 µH inductors and reduces switching loss vs. lower-frequency alternatives. |
| Max Output Current | 1 A DC continuous - sufficient for powering FPGA I/O banks, analog front-ends, or multiple logic ICs from a single regulator stage. |
| Standby Quiescent Current | 90 µA typical at VIN = 60 V - minimizes battery drain in always-on systems during shutdown mode. |
| Thermal Protection | Internal thermal shutdown with automatic recovery - prevents permanent damage during overload or poor heatsinking conditions. |
| Efficiency | 82% typical at VIN = 12 V, IOUT = 1 A - balances performance and cost for medium-power buck conversion without synchronous rectification. |
Pinout & Package
LM2590HVS-5.0 is housed in a 7-pin TO-263 (KTW) surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad (10.10 mm × 8.89 mm), optimized for PCB heat dissipation in high-current applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: VIN | Positive input supply | Accepts 4.5–60 V unregulated DC; requires ≥330 µF low-ESR input capacitor to handle peak switch currents and suppress transients. |
| 2: Output | Internal NPN switch collector | Swings between ~VIN–0.95 V and –0.5 V; connects to inductor and catch diode anode - forms main power path. |
| 3: Flag | Open-collector error flag | Active-low signal (≤0.7 V @ 3 mA sink) when VOUT < 4.75 V; requires external pull-up resistor (e.g., 4.7 kΩ) to monitored rail. |
| 4: GND | Circuit ground reference | Common return for internal circuitry, feedback divider, and thermal pad - must be connected to large copper area for thermal management. |
| 5: Delay | Flag delay timing node | Charged by internal 3-µA current source; time to flag assertion = CDELAY × 1.3 V / 3 µA - sets power-good delay after regulation achieved. |
| 6: Feedback | Regulation sense input | Internally tied to 5-V output; not user-accessible in fixed versions - eliminates need for external resistor divider. |
| 7: SD/SS | Shutdown/Soft-start control | Drives low (≤0.6 V) for shutdown (90 µA IQ); floating or >2 V enables operation; capacitor here controls output voltage ramp rate. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 1-A NPN switch | Eliminates need for external high-side transistor - reduces BOM count and layout complexity in buck topologies. |
| Programmable soft-start | Capacitor on SD/SS pin (Pin 7) controls output voltage rise time - prevents inrush current into downstream capacitive loads. |
| Power-good flag with delay | Open-collector Flag (Pin 3) + Delay (Pin 5) enable reliable system sequencing - avoids false assertions during startup transients. |
| Wide-input 60-V rating | Supports direct connection to 48-V industrial buses or automotive cold-crank scenarios without pre-regulation. |
| Thermal shutdown & current limit | Two-stage current limiting and junction temperature cutoff protect against short-circuit and overheating failures in field-deployed equipment. |

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-5.0 | TO-220-7 package (14.99 mm × 10.16 mm); higher RθJA (50°C/W vs. 20–30°C/W for TO-263); identical electrical specs. | Suitable for through-hole prototyping or low-volume assemblies where thermal mass of TO-220 suffices. | Select LM2590T-5.0 when manual soldering, heatsink mounting, or legacy footprint compatibility is required. |
| LM2596S-5.0 | Lower max input (40 V vs. 60 V); 150-kHz frequency; same 1-A rating but no flag/delay pins - lacks power-good supervision. | Applicable where input stays ≤40 V and system-level power sequencing is handled externally. | Choose LM2596S-5.0 only if 60-V input tolerance and flag functionality are unnecessary - lower cost but reduced feature set. |
Compared with LM2590T-5.0, the LM2590HVS-5.0 offers superior thermal performance in surface-mount layouts; versus LM2596S-5.0, it adds critical supervision features and 20-V higher input capability - making it essential for harsh-environment or safety-monitored designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LM2590HVS-5.0?
The LM2590HVS-5.0 supports a maximum input voltage of 60 V, with absolute maximum rating at 63 V. This allows direct operation from 48-V telecom systems, 24-V industrial buses, and automotive applications subject to load-dump transients. Operation above 60 V violates recommended conditions and risks permanent damage.
Does the LM2590HVS-5.0 require external feedback resistors to set the 5-V output?
No, the LM2590HVS-5.0 is a fixed-output version with internal feedback network - Pin 6 (Feedback) is internally connected to the 5-V output. Unlike the adjustable LM2590HV-ADJ variant, no external resistors are needed, simplifying design and improving output accuracy stability.
How does the Flag and Delay functionality work on the LM2590HVS-5.0?
The LM2590HVS-5.0 uses Pin 3 (Flag) as an open-collector output that goes low when output drops below 4.75 V (95% of 5 V). Pin 5 (Delay) accepts a capacitor to program the time delay before Flag asserts high after regulation is achieved - governed by internal 3-µA current source charging to 1.3 V threshold.
What package type is used for the LM2590HVS-5.0, and how should the thermal pad be handled?
The LM2590HVS-5.0 uses a 7-pin TO-263 (KTW) package with exposed thermal pad. The pad must be soldered to a minimum 2.5 in² copper area on the PCB for optimal thermal performance (RθJA ≈ 30°C/W). For highest reliability, connect the pad directly to system ground and use multiple thermal vias.
Can the LM2590HVS-5.0 be used in synchronous rectification configurations?
No, the LM2590HVS-5.0 is a non-synchronous buck regulator with an integrated NPN switch and requires an external Schottky catch diode (e.g., 1N5824). It does not support synchronous rectification - no gate drive signals or complementary switch control are provided. For synchronous operation, consider TI's TPS543x or LM5116 families instead.
