Product details
Overview
LM2590HVS-ADJ from Texas Instruments is a monolithic 150-kHz non-synchronous step-down DC-DC converter IC designed for high-input-voltage industrial and automotive power supplies. It delivers up to 1 A output current with ±4% output voltage accuracy, supports input voltages up to 60 V, and features adjustable output (1.2 V to 57 V), internal soft-start, shutdown control, and out-of-regulation error flag. It is commonly used in on-card buck regulators powering microcontrollers or sensors from unregulated 12–48 V rails.
For engineers reviewing the LM2590HVS-ADJ datasheet, LM2590HVS-ADJ pinout, LM2590HVS-ADJ application, or LM2590HVS-ADJ equivalent, key selection considerations include its 7-pin TO-263 package thermal performance (RθJA = 20°C/W with 3 in² copper), 90 µA standby current, 1.23 V feedback reference, 150 kHz fixed-frequency operation, and integrated protection including thermal shutdown and two-stage current limiting.
Technical Context
The LM2590HVS-ADJ implements a fixed-frequency PWM buck topology with internal 150 kHz oscillator, voltage-mode control loop, and 1.23 V precision bandgap reference. Its feedback pin senses output via external resistor divider, enabling precise output programming across 1.2–57 V while maintaining ±4% regulation over line, load, and temperature (–40°C to +125°C).
It integrates dedicated functional blocks: a 7-V clamped SD/SS pin supporting both shutdown (≤0.6 V) and soft-start (capacitor-based ramp), a delay pin with 3 µA current source for programmable power-good assertion timing, and an open-collector flag pin that asserts low (<1 V, 3 mA sink) when output drops below 95% of nominal-enabling system-level power sequencing and fault monitoring.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 60 V - supports wide-range industrial inputs including 24 V, 36 V, and 48 V DC systems without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 1 A continuous - sufficient to power mid-complexity microcontrollers, FPGAs, or analog front-ends directly. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.23 V ±2.7% - sets output voltage via R1/R2 divider; enables stable 1.2–57 V adjustment with minimal external components. |
| Switching Frequency | 150 kHz ±15% - allows use of compact, low-cost 33–100 µH inductors and reduces EMI compared to lower-frequency alternatives. |
| Standby Quiescent Current | 90 µA typical at VIN = 60 V - enables ultra-low-power shutdown mode suitable for battery-backed or energy-sensitive systems. |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 20°C/W - achieved with TO-263 package mounted on double-sided PCB with 3 in² copper on LM2590HVS-ADJ side and 16 in² on opposite side; enables full 1 A load at +125°C ambient. |
| Oscillator Accuracy | ±15% - ensures predictable filter sizing and consistent transient response across temperature and process variation. |
Pinout & Package
LM2590HVS-ADJ is housed in a 7-pin TO-263 (KTW) surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad. The package measures 10.10 mm × 8.89 mm and provides low thermal resistance (RθJC = 2°C/W) for efficient heat transfer to PCB copper.
| 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 high peak switching currents and suppress transients. |
| 2 - Output | Internal power switch drain | Drives external catch diode and inductor; swings between ~VIN–0.95 V (ON) and ~–0.5 V (OFF); must be routed with short, low-inductance traces. |
| 3 - Flag | Open-collector error flag | Asserts low (<1 V, 3 mA sink) when regulated output falls below 95%; requires external pull-up (e.g., 4.7 kΩ to VOUT) and clamping if pulled above 45 V. |
| 4 - GND | Power and signal ground | Common return for internal circuitry, switch node, and feedback network; must connect to low-impedance ground plane near thermal pad. |
| 5 - Delay | Flag assertion delay control | Charged by 3 µA internal current source; time to flag high determined by CDELAY (e.g., 0.1 µF → ~430 ms delay); rapidly discharged on fault. |
| 6 - Feedback | Voltage sense input | Compares divided output against 1.23 V reference; bias current ≤50 nA enables high-resistor-divider designs with minimal loading error. |
| 7 - SD/SS | Shutdown/Soft-start control | Pulled internally high; drives low (≤0.6 V) for shutdown (90 µA IQ); capacitor here sets soft-start ramp time (5 µA charge below 1.3 V, 1.6 µA above). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable output range | 1.2 V to 57 V with ±4% tolerance - enables single BOM for multiple output voltages across diverse subsystems. |
| Integrated soft-start | Capacitor-programmable startup ramp - prevents inrush current and stabilizes upstream supplies during power-up. |
| Out-of-regulation flag with delay | Configurable power-good timing and fault detection - supports safe system boot sequencing and watchdog-triggered recovery. |
| Two-stage current limit | Peak switch current limit (1.9 A typ.) plus foldback - protects against short-circuit and overload without latch-up or thermal runaway. |
| Thermal shutdown | Automatic shutdown at TJ ≥150°C with hysteresis - ensures robust operation under sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2590HV-5.0 | Fixed 5 V output; no feedback divider required; same pinout and thermal specs. | Eliminates external resistors but lacks output flexibility; unsuitable for variable-voltage designs. | Select when 5 V is fixed requirement and board space is constrained-reduces BOM count and layout complexity. |
| LM2596HV-ADJ | Higher 150 kHz frequency tolerance (±15% vs. ±15%); identical 60 V input and 1 A rating; shares same TO-263 footprint. | Offers improved light-load efficiency and tighter output tolerance (±2% vs. ±4%) but requires revalidation of compensation network. | Choose for new designs needing higher precision or better efficiency at partial load; verify stability with existing LC filter values. |
Compared with LM2590HV-5.0, LM2590HVS-ADJ trades simplicity for flexibility-enabling one design to support multiple outputs-but adds two resistors and a feedforward capacitor. Versus LM2596HV-ADJ, it offers proven ruggedness in legacy industrial deployments but with looser output tolerance and slightly lower efficiency at light loads.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM2590HVS-ADJ?
The LM2590HVS-ADJ has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 63 V and a recommended operating range of 4.5 V to 60 V. Operation beyond 60 V risks exceeding internal device limits and is not guaranteed for reliability or lifetime. For 48 V telecom or 36 V automotive systems, this margin provides robustness against transients like ISO 16750-2 load dump.
How do I calculate the output voltage for LM2590HVS-ADJ?
The output voltage of LM2590HVS-ADJ is set by a resistor divider from VOUT to FB (pin 6) and from FB to GND. Use VOUT = 1.23 V × (1 + R1/R2), where R2 connects FB to GND and R1 connects VOUT to FB. Select R2 ≈ 1 kΩ for stability; standard 1% resistors ensure accuracy within the ±4% total output tolerance specified for LM2590HVS-ADJ.
Does LM2590HVS-ADJ require an external catch diode?
Yes, LM2590HVS-ADJ requires an external Schottky catch diode (e.g., 1N5824 or equivalent) connected from the Output pin (pin 2) to GND. This diode provides the return path for inductor current during the switch OFF cycle. Using a low-forward-voltage, fast-recovery Schottky minimizes conduction loss and improves efficiency-especially critical at high input voltages where diode dissipation dominates losses.
What thermal derating applies to LM2590HVS-ADJ at elevated ambient temperatures?
LM2590HVS-ADJ is rated for junction temperatures up to 150°C. With its TO-263 package and 20°C/W RθJA (double-sided PCB), it delivers full 1 A output up to +125°C ambient. Above that, output current must be reduced linearly: at +135°C ambient, maximum load is ~0.5 A; at +145°C, ~0.25 A. Thermal shutdown activates at TJ ≥150°C to prevent damage.
Can LM2590HVS-ADJ be synchronized to an external clock?
No, LM2590HVS-ADJ does not support external clock synchronization. It uses an internal fixed-frequency 150 kHz oscillator with ±15% tolerance. For noise-sensitive applications requiring frequency control or EMI reduction, consider alternatives such as the LM5117 or TPS54302, which offer sync-in capability-LM2590HVS-ADJ prioritizes simplicity and ruggedness over programmability.
