Product details
Overview
LM2590HVSX5.0AQ/NOPB 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 switching frequency, ±4% output voltage tolerance over line/load/temperature, and input voltage range up to 60 V. It integrates shutdown/soft-start, out-of-regulation error flag, and delay functionality for use in vehicle infotainment power rails and engine control module pre-regulators.
For engineers reviewing the LM2590HVSX5.0AQ/NOPB datasheet, LM2590HVSX5.0AQ/NOPB pinout, LM2590HVSX5.0AQ/NOPB application, or LM2590HVSX5.0AQ/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification (–40°C to +125°C ambient), 90-μA standby current, TO-263-7 package thermal performance (RθJA = 50°C/W), and integrated error flag with programmable delay.
Technical Context
The LM2590HVSX5.0AQ/NOPB implements a fixed-frequency, current-mode buck topology with internal compensation, enabling stable operation with minimal external components. Its oscillator operates at 150 kHz (±15%), allowing compact LC filter design while maintaining high efficiency across wide input ranges.
Functional integration includes undervoltage lockout via the SHUTDOWN/Soft-Start pin, open-collector error flag with 1.3-V threshold and 3-mA sink capability, and a dedicated Delay pin with 3-μA internal charge current for power-good timing control - all supporting robust automotive system supervision.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5 V ±4% over full temperature and load range - ensures stable MCU core supply without external feedback resistors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 60 V - supports 12-V and 24-V automotive battery systems including cold-crank and load-dump transients. |
| Switching Frequency | 150 kHz (127–173 kHz) - enables use of standard, low-cost 47–100 μH inductors and reduces EMI filtering complexity. |
| Output Current | 1 A continuous - sufficient for powering multiple automotive sensors, CAN transceivers, or display backlight drivers. |
| Standby Current | 90 μA typical - minimizes quiescent drain during vehicle sleep mode, critical for battery longevity. |
| Thermal Resistance | RθJA = 50°C/W (TO-263) - allows 1-A operation at +85°C ambient with minimal heatsinking on standard 2-oz copper PCBs. |
| Oscillator Tolerance | ±15% - accommodates component variation while maintaining predictable ripple and filter sizing. |
Pinout & Package
LM2590HVSX5.0AQ/NOPB uses the KTW (TO-263-7) surface-mount package: 10.10 mm × 8.89 mm body, exposed thermal pad, 7-pin configuration with GND-connected tab for enhanced thermal dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| +VIN | Input Power Supply | Accepts 4.5–60 V DC; requires local 470-μF low-ESR aluminum electrolytic bypass capacitor to handle high di/dt switching currents. |
| Output | Internal Switch Drain | Connects to external catch diode anode and inductor; switches between ~(+VIN – 1.2 V) and ~–0.5 V at 150 kHz. |
| Error Flag | Open-Collector Status Output | Sinks ≤3 mA when output drops below 95% of 5 V; requires external pull-up (e.g., 4.7 kΩ to VOUT) for power-good signaling. |
| GND | Power and Signal Reference | Common return for input/output capacitors, feedback network, and thermal pad; must be low-impedance plane under IC. |
| Delay | Programmable Power-Good Timing | Charged by 3-μA internal current source; 0.1-μF capacitor yields ~43-ms delay before Error Flag goes high after regulation achieved. |
| Feedback | Regulation Sense Input | Internally tied to 5-V output; not user-accessible in fixed-version - eliminates resistor divider errors and layout sensitivity. |
| SHUTDOWN / Soft Start | Enable & Ramp Control | Pulled high internally; driven low (≤0.6 V) enters 90-μA shutdown; capacitor here provides controlled VOUT ramp rate during startup. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 Qualification | Validated for –40°C to +125°C ambient operation with HBM ±2000 V and MM ±200 V ESD ratings - meets automotive electronics reliability requirements. |
| Integrated Error Flag with Delay | Provides programmable power-good signal with configurable delay (via external capacitor) - enables safe sequencing with microcontrollers and FPGAs. |
| Low Standby Quiescent Current | 90 μA typical in shutdown - extends battery life in always-on vehicle modules such as telematics and alarm systems. |
| Fixed-Frequency Current-Mode Control | 150-kHz internal oscillator with inherent cycle-by-cycle current limiting - simplifies EMI filtering and improves transient response vs. variable-frequency alternatives. |
| Thermal Shutdown & Current Limit | Two-stage switch current limit (1.3–2.8 A peak) plus junction temperature cutoff at 150°C - prevents damage during overload or poor heatsinking conditions. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2590HVSX-5.0/NOPB | Non-automotive grade (no AEC-Q100 qualification); same electrical specs and pinout. | Lacks automotive qualification testing - unsuitable for safety-critical or production vehicle ECUs. | Select only for prototyping or non-automotive industrial applications where qualification is not required. |
| LM2596SX-5.0/NOPB | Lower input voltage max (40 V vs. 60 V); no error flag or delay pin; 150-kHz frequency retained. | Cannot support 24-V commercial vehicle systems or provide power-good signaling for sequenced startup. | Choose when cost is primary constraint and input voltage stays ≤40 V with no supervision requirements. |
Compared with LM2590HVSX5.0AQ/NOPB, the LM2590HVSX-5.0/NOPB offers identical performance but lacks AEC-Q100 validation, while the LM2596SX-5.0/NOPB sacrifices input voltage headroom and supervisory features to reduce cost - making LM2590HVSX5.0AQ/NOPB the only choice for production automotive designs requiring both 60-V operation and fault signaling.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM2590HVSX5.0AQ/NOPB?
The LM2590HVSX5.0AQ/NOPB has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 63 V, with recommended operating range from 4.5 V to 60 V. This 60-V upper limit enables compatibility with 24-V commercial vehicle systems and withstands ISO 7637-2 load-dump transients without external clamping. Operation beyond 60 V risks permanent damage and voids AEC-Q100 qualification compliance.
Does LM2590HVSX5.0AQ/NOPB require external feedback resistors?
No, LM2590HVSX5.0AQ/NOPB does not require external feedback resistors because it is a fixed 5-V output version. The feedback node 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 versions like LM2590HVSX-ADJ/NOPB.
How is thermal performance characterized for LM2590HVSX5.0AQ/NOPB in TO-263 package?
LM2590HVSX5.0AQ/NOPB in the KTW (TO-263-7) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 50°C/W when mounted on a standard 4-layer JEDEC board. Its junction-to-case (top) resistance is 2°C/W, enabling efficient heat transfer to an external heatsink or copper pour. At 1-A load and +85°C ambient, junction temperature remains within the 150°C limit using only PCB copper area - no additional heatsink required.
Can LM2590HVSX5.0AQ/NOPB be used in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM)?
Yes, LM2590HVSX5.0AQ/NOPB operates naturally in discontinuous conduction mode at light loads (e.g., <250 mA with 52-μH inductor), as confirmed in Figure 21 of the datasheet. Its current-mode control maintains stability across CCM/DCM boundaries without external compensation. DCM operation reduces light-load efficiency slightly but improves transient response and eliminates subharmonic oscillation concerns common in voltage-mode converters.
What is the purpose of the Delay pin (Pin 5) on LM2590HVSX5.0AQ/NOPB?
The Delay pin (Pin 5) on LM2590HVSX5.0AQ/NOPB sets the time interval between output regulation and assertion of the Error Flag (Pin 3) as a power-good signal. An external capacitor (e.g., 0.1 μF) charges via a 3-μA internal current source; when voltage reaches 1.3 V, Pin 3 goes high (with external pull-up). This enables safe sequencing of downstream logic, preventing premature enablement before rail stabilization.
