Product details
Overview
LM2591HVS-5.0 from Texas Instruments is a monolithic nonsynchronous step-down (buck) DC-DC switching regulator delivering 1-A output current with fixed 5.0-V output, 150-kHz internal oscillator, input voltage range up to 60 V, and ±4% output voltage tolerance over line and load. It operates in automotive and industrial power supplies where high-input-voltage buck conversion is required without external controller complexity.
For engineers reviewing the LM2591HVS-5.0 datasheet, LM2591HVS-5.0 pinout, LM2591HVS-5.0 application, or LM2591HVS-5.0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 60-V max input rating, ON/OFF control interface, thermal shutdown protection, 90-μA standby current, and compatibility with standard 5-pin TO-220 or DDPAK packages for through-hole or surface-mount implementation.
Technical Context
The LM2591HVS-5.0 integrates a PWM controller, power switch, and internal frequency compensation in a single IC. Its fixed 150-kHz oscillator enables predictable filter design with standard off-the-shelf inductors and capacitors, while the nonsynchronous architecture uses an external Schottky catch diode for efficiency optimization at 5-V output.
Control logic includes active-low ON/OFF pin enabling shutdown with 90-μA quiescent current, and feedback sensing referenced to internal 1.23-V bandgap. Protection features comprise thermal shutdown, two-stage current limiting (1.3–2.8 A peak), and absolute maximum ratings validated for −40°C to +125°C operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0 V ±4% over full line/load/temperature range - ensures stable rail for microcontrollers and analog circuitry without external resistor network. |
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 60 V - supports wide-range industrial inputs including 24-V, 36-V, and 48-V bus systems with margin for transients. |
| Output Current | 1 A DC continuous - sufficient for powering FPGA I/O banks, sensor signal chains, or isolated gate drivers without derating. |
| Switching Frequency | 150 kHz (±15%) - balances EMI performance and passive size; enables use of low-cost 47–100 μH shielded inductors. |
| Efficiency | 82% typical at VIN = 12 V, IOUT = 1 A - reduces thermal load in enclosed enclosures and extends battery runtime in portable 24-V systems. |
| Standby Current | 90 μA typical - enables low-power sleep modes in always-on monitoring systems without compromising wake-up latency. |
| Saturation Voltage | 1.2 V max at 1 A - defines minimum dropout headroom; requires ≥6.2 V input to sustain 5-V output under full load. |
Pinout & Package
LM2591HVS-5.0 is available in 5-pin TO-220 (NDH) and 5-pin DDPAK/TO-263 (KTT) packages. Both share identical pin numbering and functional assignment.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: +VIN | Power Input | Accepts 4.5–60 V DC; requires local 470-μF low-ESR aluminum electrolytic bypass capacitor to handle high di/dt switching currents. |
| 2: Output | Switch Node | Drives external catch diode and LC filter; swings between ~(+VIN − 1.2 V) and ~−0.5 V; layout must minimize loop area for EMI control. |
| 3: Ground | Power & Signal Reference | Common return for input cap, output cap, feedback network, and ON/OFF pull-down; must connect to low-impedance ground plane. |
| 4: Feedback | Voltage Sense Input | Internally tied to 5-V output; monitors regulation error; sensitive to noise-requires short trace and optional Schottky clamp if VIN > 40 V. |
| 5: ON/OFF | Digital Control Input | Active-low enable: ≤0.6 V = ON, ≥2 V = OFF; threshold is 1.3 V typical; max 25-V rating mandates series resistor if driven from >25-V source. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide Input Range (4.5–60 V) | Enables direct connection to unregulated 24-V/36-V/48-V industrial buses without pre-regulation, reducing BOM count and board space. |
| Integrated Thermal Shutdown | Automatically disables switching when junction temperature exceeds 150°C, preventing permanent damage during overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Two-Stage Current Limit | First stage limits peak switch current to 1.3–2.8 A; second stage reduces frequency under overload-provides graceful foldback instead of hard latch-off. |
| ON/OFF Pin with Low IQ | Supports system-level power sequencing and standby modes; draws only 90 μA in shutdown, critical for battery-backed remote sensors. |
| Fixed-Frequency Oscillator | 150-kHz operation simplifies EMI filtering and avoids audible noise; eliminates need for external timing components or synchronization signals. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2596S-5.0 | Lower max input (40 V vs. 60 V); same 1-A rating, 150-kHz freq, TO-220 package; no ON/OFF pin. | Lacks shutdown control and 60-V surge handling; unsuitable for 48-V telecom or load-dump automotive use. | Select LM2591HVS-5.0 when input may exceed 40 V or ON/OFF sequencing is required. |
| MP2451DT-LF-Z | Higher frequency (300 kHz), smaller 8-pin SOIC package, 0.6-A rating, integrated diode, no thermal shutdown. | Requires smaller passives but limited to lower current; lacks fault protection for industrial overloads. | Choose LM2591HVS-5.0 for robust 1-A operation with thermal/current protection in demanding environments. |
Compared with LM2596S-5.0 and MP2451DT-LF-Z, LM2591HVS-5.0 uniquely combines 60-V input tolerance, 1-A output, ON/OFF control, and comprehensive protection-making it the only option among the three qualified for automotive load-dump and industrial 48-V bus applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM2591HVS-5.0?
The LM2591HVS-5.0 has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 63 V, with recommended operation up to 60 V. This allows reliable use in 48-V systems with margin for transient surges such as ISO 16750-2 load dump events. Operation above 60 V risks permanent damage and voids warranty compliance.
Does LM2591HVS-5.0 require an external catch diode?
Yes, LM2591HVS-5.0 requires an external Schottky catch diode connected between the Output pin and Ground. The datasheet specifies a 2-A, 60-V Schottky rectifier (e.g., 21DQ06) for optimal efficiency and reliability. Omitting this diode will cause catastrophic failure due to inductive kickback at the switch node.
Can LM2591HVS-5.0 be used in a negative-output configuration?
Yes, LM2591HVS-5.0 can generate a negative output (e.g., −5 V) using the inverting buck-boost topology shown in Figure 25 of the datasheet. This requires reconfiguring Ground and Feedback connections and adding isolation diodes. Peak switch current must be verified against the 1.2–2.8 A current limit to avoid power limiting.
What is the purpose of the ON/OFF pin on LM2591HVS-5.0?
The ON/OFF pin provides digital enable/disable control for LM2591HVS-5.0: pulling it ≤0.6 V enables regulation; driving it ≥2 V places LM2591HVS-5.0 in shutdown mode with 90-μA quiescent current. It is not a synchronous enable-it directly gates the internal oscillator and power switch.
How does thermal performance differ between TO-220 and DDPAK packages for LM2591HVS-5.0?
Both TO-220 (NDH) and DDPAK/TO-263 (KTT) packages for LM2591HVS-5.0 have identical RθJA of 50°C/W on JEDEC 4-layer boards. However, the KTT package offers lower RθJC(top) (2°C/W vs. TO-220's unspecified top resistance), enabling more effective heatsink attachment to the exposed pad for higher ambient temperature operation.
