Product details
Overview
LM2590HVSX-5.0 from Texas Instruments is a monolithic 1-A, 150-kHz non-synchronous step-down (buck) DC-DC regulator 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 out-of-regulation error flag. Used in industrial power supplies requiring robust 5-V rail generation from unregulated high-voltage DC sources.
For engineers reviewing the LM2590HVSX-5.0 datasheet, LM2590HVSX-5.0 pinout, LM2590HVSX-5.0 application, or LM2590HVSX-5.0 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 60-V max input rating, 90-µA standby current in shutdown mode, integrated soft-start via SD/SS pin, programmable error flag delay, and TO-263-7 surface-mount package for thermally demanding applications.
Technical Context
The LM2590HVSX-5.0 implements a fixed-frequency (150 kHz) PWM control architecture with internal oscillator, voltage-mode feedback using a 1.23-V reference, and a single NPN bipolar power switch. Its error amplifier compares feedback voltage against this reference to adjust duty cycle, while the SD/SS pin controls both shutdown (≤0.6 V) and soft-start (capacitor-based ramp).
Functional supervision includes an open-collector FLAG pin that asserts low when output drops below 95% of nominal (e.g., <4.75 V), with delay timing set by an external capacitor on the DELAY pin and controlled by a 3-µA internal current source. Protection features comprise two-stage current limiting (peak 1.9 A typ), thermal shutdown at 150°C, and internal clamping on SD/SS (7 V), FLAG (45 V), and DELAY (1.5 V) pins.
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 logic/system rail without external resistor network. |
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 60 V - supports wide-range industrial, automotive, and telecom inputs including 24-V and 48-V systems. |
| Switching Frequency | 150 kHz ±15% - enables use of compact 33–68 µH inductors and reduces EMI compared to lower-frequency alternatives. |
| Max Output Current | 1 A DC continuous - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and interface ICs directly from high-input rails. |
| Standby Quiescent Current | 90 µA typical at VIN = 60 V - minimizes battery drain or standby power loss in always-on systems. |
| Efficiency | 82% typical at VIN = 12 V, IOUT = 1 A - delivers high conversion efficiency without requiring synchronous rectification. |
| Thermal Resistance | RθJA = 30°C/W (TO-263, 0.5 in² copper) - enables 1-A operation up to +125°C ambient with minimal heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
LM2590HVSX-5.0 is housed in a 7-pin TO-263 (KTW) surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad, measuring 10.10 mm × 8.89 mm. The package supports high-power dissipation via PCB copper area and is RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VIN | Positive input supply | Accepts 4.5–60 V DC; requires ≥330 µF low-ESR input capacitor to handle switching transients and peak currents. |
| 2 - Output | Internal switch collector | Drives external catch diode and inductor; swings between ~VIN–0.95 V and –0.5 V during operation. |
| 3 - Flag | Open-collector error indicator | Asserts low (≤0.7 V @ 3 mA sink) when VOUT < 4.75 V; requires external pull-up (e.g., 4.7 kΩ) to logic rail ≤45 V. |
| 4 - Gnd | Power and signal ground | Common return for internal circuitry, feedback, and thermal pad; must be connected to large low-impedance PCB plane. |
| 5 - Delay | Flag delay timing node | Charged by 3-µA internal current source; time to FLAG assertion = 0.433 × CDELAY (µF) seconds after regulation achieved. |
| 6 - Feedback | Voltage sense input | Internally tied to output for fixed 5-V version; monitors regulated voltage to close control loop with 1.23-V reference. |
| 7 - SD/SS | Shutdown/Soft-start control | Pulled high internally; ≤0.6 V forces shutdown (90 µA IQ); capacitor here provides controlled VOUT ramp rate during startup. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 150-kHz oscillator | Eliminates external timing components and ensures consistent switching frequency across temperature and input voltage. |
| Programmable error flag delay | Enables clean power-good sequencing by delaying FLAG assertion until output stabilizes, preventing false undervoltage triggers. |
| Two-stage current limit protection | First stage limits peak switch current to ~1.9 A; second stage reduces frequency under overload - prevents thermal runaway during short-circuit events. |
| Low-IQ shutdown mode | Reduces system standby power to <100 µA, critical for battery-backed or energy-harvesting applications. |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Shuts down at 150°C junction temperature and restarts only after cooling by ~20°C - avoids oscillatory behavior near thermal limit. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2590T-5.0 | Same electrical specs but in 7-pin TO-220 (NDZ) package; higher RθJA (50°C/W) and no thermal pad; leaded through-hole mounting. | Suitable for prototyping, low-volume assemblies, or legacy designs requiring vertical heatsink mounting. | Select LM2590T-5.0 when manual assembly, mechanical heatsinking, or compatibility with existing TO-220 footprints is required. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LM2590HVSX-5.0?
The LM2590HVSX-5.0 has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 63 V, with recommended operating range from 4.5 V to 60 V. This allows direct use with 24-V, 36-V, and 48-V industrial and automotive supplies, including transient surges common in vehicle electrical systems. Exceeding 63 V risks permanent damage per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Does the LM2590HVSX-5.0 require an external feedback resistor network?
No, the LM2590HVSX-5.0 does not require external feedback resistors because it is the fixed 5.0-V output variant. Pin 6 (Feedback) is internally connected to the output, eliminating the need for a resistor divider. This simplifies design, improves accuracy (±4% guaranteed), and removes drift sources associated with external components - a key advantage over adjustable versions like LM2590HVSX-ADJ.
How is the error flag (FLAG pin) used in system-level monitoring?
The FLAG pin on the LM2590HVSX-5.0 is an open-collector output that pulls low (<0.7 V) when the regulated 5.0-V output falls below 95% of nominal (i.e., <4.75 V), indicating undervoltage or fault condition. When pulled high externally (e.g., with 4.7 kΩ to 3.3 V or 5 V), it serves as a "power good" signal. Its timing can be delayed using a capacitor on the DELAY pin to avoid false triggers during startup transients.
Can the LM2590HVSX-5.0 operate at full 1-A load across its entire temperature range?
Yes, the LM2590HVSX-5.0 is specified for 1-A continuous output current from –40°C to +125°C junction temperature. However, sustained 1-A operation at high ambient temperatures requires adequate PCB copper area: with 2.5 in² of 1-oz copper, RθJA is 30°C/W; with 3 in² on one side and 16 in² on the other, it drops to 20°C/W - enabling full-load operation even at +85°C ambient without additional heatsinking.
What is the purpose of the SD/SS pin, and how is soft-start implemented?
Pin 7 (SD/SS) serves dual functions: applying ≤0.6 V places LM2590HVSX-5.0 in shutdown mode (IQ ≈ 90 µA), while connecting a capacitor between SD/SS and ground creates a controlled soft-start. An internal 5-µA (below 1.3 V) / 1.6-µA (above 1.3 V) current source charges the capacitor, ramping the duty cycle from 0% to 100% - preventing inrush current and ensuring monotonic VOUT rise. No external resistor is needed due to internal pull-up.
