Product details
Overview
LM2590HVSX5.0AQ from Texas Instruments is an automotive-grade, non-synchronous step-down DC-DC converter delivering 1-A output current with fixed 5-V output, 150-kHz fixed-frequency operation, ±4% output voltage accuracy over line/load/temperature, and input voltage support up to 60 V. It serves as a primary buck regulator in vehicle infotainment power rails, ADAS camera modules, and body control units requiring high-voltage tolerance and AEC-Q100 compliance.
For engineers reviewing the LM2590HVSX5.0AQ datasheet, LM2590HVSX5.0AQ pinout, LM2590HVSX5.0AQ application, or LM2590HVSX5.0AQ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 60-V max input rating, integrated error flag with programmable delay, shutdown/soft-start dual-function pin, thermal shutdown protection, and TO-263-7 (KTW) surface-mount package for automotive thermal and reliability requirements.
Technical Context
The LM2590HVSX5.0AQ implements a monolithic buck topology with internal 150-kHz oscillator, fixed-frequency PWM control, and non-synchronous rectification using an external Schottky catch diode. Its feedback loop references a precise 1.23-V internal bandgap and supports output regulation stability via external compensation components.
Functional modes include active switching (with soft-start ramp), low-power shutdown (90 μA standby), and fault response: out-of-regulation flag assertion (≤1 V, open-collector), thermal shutdown, and two-stage current limiting (1.3–2.8 A peak). The device operates across −40°C to +125°C ambient per AEC-Q100 Grade 1.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0 V ±4% over full line/load/temperature range - ensures stable microcontroller or sensor rail without external resistor network. |
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 60 V - supports 12-V, 24-V, and 48-V automotive battery systems including cold-crank and load-dump transients. |
| Output Current | 1 A continuous - sufficient for powering SoCs, CAN transceivers, or multi-sensor clusters in compact ECUs. |
| Switching Frequency | 150 kHz (±15%) - enables use of standard, cost-effective 47–100 μH shielded inductors and reduces EMI filtering complexity. |
| Quiescent Current | 90 μA in shutdown - minimizes battery drain during vehicle sleep mode, critical for always-on telematics modules. |
| Efficiency | 82% at VIN = 12 V, IOUT = 1 A - delivers high conversion efficiency without forced air cooling in sealed enclosures. |
| Thermal Protection | Junction temperature limit 150°C with automatic thermal shutdown - prevents latch-up or parametric shift under sustained overload. |
Pinout & Package
LM2590HVSX5.0AQ is packaged in a 7-pin DDPAK/TO-263 (KTW) surface-mount package with 10.10 mm × 8.89 mm body size and exposed thermal pad for enhanced PCB heat dissipation in automotive environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (+VIN) | Positive input supply | Accepts up to 60 V DC; requires local 470-μF aluminum electrolytic bypass capacitor to handle high di/dt switching currents and suppress transients. |
| 2 (Output) | Internal power switch drain | Drives external Schottky catch diode; swings between ≈(+VIN – 1.2 V) and ≈−0.5 V; connects to inductor node in buck topology. |
| 3 (Error Flag) | Open-collector fault indicator | Asserts low (≤1 V) when VOUT drops below 95% of 5 V; sinks ≤3 mA; requires external pull-up (e.g., 4.7 kΩ to VOUT) for "power good" signaling. |
| 4 (Ground) | Power and signal reference | Common return for input/output capacitors, feedback network, and thermal pad; must be connected to large copper pour for thermal management. |
| 5 (Delay) | Programmable flag delay timing | Charged by 3-μA internal current source; sets power-good assertion delay after regulation; 0.1 μF yields ~400 ms delay before flag goes high. |
| 6 (Feedback) | Regulation sense input | Internally tied to 5-V output; not user-configurable in fixed-version parts - eliminates external resistor divider and improves accuracy vs. adjustable variants. |
| 7 (Shutdown / Soft Start) | Control input for ON/OFF and startup ramp | Pulled high internally; driven low (≤0.6 V) for shutdown (90 μA IQ); capacitor added for soft-start - controls duty-cycle ramp from 0% to 100% over milliseconds. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for −40°C to +125°C ambient operation, HBM ±2 kV, MM ±200 V - meets automotive electronics reliability and ESD robustness requirements. |
| Integrated error flag with delay | Provides system-level power-good monitoring with user-programmable delay (via capacitor on Pin 5) to avoid false triggers during startup overshoot. |
| Shutdown and soft-start on single pin | Reduces BOM count and simplifies control logic - same pin enables low-IQ sleep mode or controlled voltage ramp to prevent inrush current in downstream circuits. |
| Two-stage current limiting | Detects overcurrent with fast first-stage trip (≈1.3 A) and foldback second stage (≈2.8 A peak) - protects MOSFET and inductor during short-circuit events without latch-up. |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Shuts down at 150°C junction and restarts only after cooldown to ≈135°C - prevents thermal cycling damage and ensures safe recovery after overload. |

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-Q1 | Same architecture and electrical specs but in TO-220-7 (KTT) through-hole package; higher RθJA (50°C/W vs. 50°C/W, but different board layout impact). | Preferred for prototyping, manual assembly, or legacy through-hole designs; less suitable for high-vibration automotive modules requiring surface-mount reliability. | Select LM2590HV-5.0-Q1 only if mechanical mounting or thermal path via heatsink is prioritized over automated SMT production. |
| LM2678-5.0 | Higher 63-V absolute max input, 2.5-A output, but no error flag or delay pin; uses external compensation; larger 8-pin SOIC package. | Better suited for industrial 24-V systems needing higher current; lacks automotive qualification and integrated supervision features required for OEM vehicle integration. | Choose LM2678-5.0 only for non-automotive applications demanding >1 A or wider input range without AEC-Q100 or flag functionality. |
Compared with LM2590HV-5.0-Q1, LM2590HVSX5.0AQ offers identical electrical performance in a smaller, thermally superior surface-mount package optimized for automated manufacturing and vibration resistance; compared with LM2678-5.0, it trades higher current capability for integrated automotive safety features and simplified design-in.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LM2590HVSX5.0AQ?
The LM2590HVSX5.0AQ supports a recommended operating input voltage range of 4.5 V to 60 V, with an absolute maximum rating of 63 V. This enables reliable operation in 12-V, 24-V, and 48-V automotive battery systems, including transient conditions like load dump per ISO 7637-2. Exceeding 63 V risks permanent damage per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Does the LM2590HVSX5.0AQ require external feedback resistors to set the output voltage?
No. The LM2590HVSX5.0AQ is a fixed 5.0-V output variant - its feedback pin (Pin 6) is internally connected to the output, eliminating the need for external resistor dividers. This improves regulation accuracy (±4% over line/load/temperature) and reduces component count versus adjustable versions like the LM2590HVSX-ADJ.
How does the Error Flag pin (Pin 3) function in the LM2590HVSX5.0AQ?
The Error Flag pin (Pin 3) is an open-collector output that pulls low (≤1 V) when the regulated 5-V output falls below 95% of nominal (i.e., <4.75 V), indicating out-of-regulation. It sinks up to 3 mA and requires an external pull-up resistor (e.g., 4.7 kΩ to VOUT). When high, it signals "power good" - a critical feature for system-level health monitoring in automotive ECUs.
Can the LM2590HVSX5.0AQ be used in thermally constrained automotive applications?
Yes. The LM2590HVSX5.0AQ uses a TO-263-7 (KTW) package with an exposed thermal pad, enabling efficient heat transfer to PCB copper pours or metal chassis. Its thermal resistance is RθJA = 50°C/W on a standard 4-layer JEDEC board, and it includes thermal shutdown at 150°C with hysteresis - making it suitable for under-hood or enclosed module designs where passive cooling is essential.
Is the LM2590HVSX5.0AQ qualified for automotive use according to AEC-Q100 standards?
Yes. The LM2590HVSX5.0AQ is explicitly qualified per AEC-Q100 with Device Temperature Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C ambient), HBM ESD classification Level 2 (±2 kV), and MM ESD classification Level M3 (±200 V). This qualification is documented in the official TI datasheet SNOSAC0C and verified through TI's automotive qualification program.
