Product details
Overview
LM2591HVS-5.0/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a monolithic 150-kHz nonsynchronous step-down (buck) DC-DC converter delivering up to 1 A output current with fixed 5.0 V output, ±4% tolerance over line and load, input voltage range up to 60 V, and standby quiescent current of 90 μA. It serves as a high-efficiency primary regulator in industrial power supplies and automotive subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the LM2591HVS-5.0/NOPB datasheet, LM2591HVS-5.0/NOPB pinout, LM2591HVS-5.0/NOPB application, or LM2591HVS-5.0/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage headroom (up to 60 V), thermal performance in TO-263 package, ON/OFF control interface compatibility, and fixed-output stability without external feedback resistors.
Technical Context
The LM2591HVS-5.0/NOPB integrates a PWM controller, power switch, and internal frequency compensation in a single IC. Its 150-kHz fixed-frequency oscillator enables compact LC 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.
It operates in continuous or discontinuous conduction mode depending on load and inductor value, with built-in two-stage current limiting (1.3–2.8 A peak) and thermal shutdown protection. The ON/OFF pin provides logic-level shutdown control with 1.3 V typical threshold and ≤25 V absolute maximum rating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0 V ±4% (4.8–5.2 V) across −40°C to +125°C and 0.2–1 A load, eliminating need for external feedback divider. |
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 60 V - supports wide-input applications including 24 V and 48 V industrial rails and automotive battery transients. |
| Switching Frequency | 150 kHz (127–173 kHz over temperature) - enables use of low-cost, standard 47–100 μH inductors with minimal EMI filtering. |
| Output Current | 1 A DC load capability - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and analog circuitry without external current boosting. |
| Standby Quiescent Current | 90 μA typical - enables low-power sleep modes in battery-backed systems without significant drain. |
| Saturation Voltage | 0.95–1.2 V at 1 A - defines minimum dropout and impacts efficiency at low VIN; requires careful thermal management in TO-263 package. |
| Oscillator Accuracy | ±15% over temperature - ensures predictable ripple frequency for EMI filter design but not suitable for synchronous clocking. |
Pinout & Package
LM2591HVS-5.0/NOPB is packaged in a 5-pin DDPAK/TO-263 (KTT) surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad (10.18 mm × 8.41 mm nominal body size), optimized for high-power dissipation in space-constrained PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: +VIN | Positive input supply | Accepts 4.5–60 V DC; requires local 470 μF low-ESR aluminum electrolytic bypass capacitor to handle switching current transients. |
| 2: Output | Switch node | Connects to cathode of external Schottky catch diode and inductor; swings between ≈(+VIN − VSAT) and ≈−0.5 V during operation. |
| 3: Ground | Power and signal reference | Must be connected to low-impedance ground plane; ties thermal pad for heat dissipation in KTT package. |
| 4: Feedback | Regulation sense | Internally tied to 5 V output - no external resistor network needed; sensitive to negative spikes if VIN > 40 V and feedforward cap used. |
| 5: ON/OFF | Shutdown control | Drives high (≥2 V) to enter 90 μA standby; floats or pulled low (≤0.6 V) for normal operation; max 25 V absolute rating. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 5.0 V output | Eliminates external feedback resistors and associated layout sensitivity, reducing BOM count and improving long-term regulation stability. |
| 150-kHz fixed-frequency operation | Enables predictable EMI spectrum placement and simplifies input/output filter design using standard off-the-shelf passive components. |
| ON/OFF logic control | Supports system-level power sequencing and low-power sleep states via simple GPIO or open-collector driver without level shifting. |
| Thermal shutdown + current limiting | Provides self-protection under overload, short-circuit, or inadequate heatsinking - avoids catastrophic failure in unattended industrial deployments. |
| Wide 4.5–60 V input range | Accommodates 12 V, 24 V, and 48 V nominal systems with transient ride-through up to ±20 V, reducing need for upstream pre-regulation. |

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/NOPB | Higher 150-kHz frequency (same), but lower 3 A current rating and wider ±4% output tolerance; TO-263-5 package identical. | Designed for higher-current loads; less suitable for thermally constrained 1 A designs due to higher power dissipation at same VIN/VOUT. | Select when >1 A output is required and board layout allows larger thermal footprint. |
| TPS54202DRCT | Synchronous buck with integrated high/low-side MOSFETs; 4.5–28 V input; 2 A output; 500 kHz switching; requires external feedback resistors. | Higher efficiency at light loads due to synchronous rectification; lacks 60 V input capability and fixed 5 V option. | Select for 12 V input systems prioritizing efficiency and small solution size, not for 48 V or automotive transients. |
Compared with LM2591HVS-5.0/NOPB, LM2596S-5.0/NOPB offers higher current but identical package and voltage specs, while TPS54202DRCT trades input voltage range and simplicity for higher efficiency and integration at lower input voltages.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM2591HVS-5.0/NOPB?
The LM2591HVS-5.0/NOPB has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 63 V, with recommended operating range from 4.5 V to 60 V. This makes it suitable for 24 V and 48 V industrial systems and automotive battery applications with load dump transients. Exceeding 60 V in continuous operation risks exceeding thermal limits and triggering protection circuits.
Does LM2591HVS-5.0/NOPB require external feedback resistors?
No, LM2591HVS-5.0/NOPB does not require external feedback resistors because it is a fixed-output version with internal feedback network set to 5.0 V. Pin 4 (Feedback) is internally connected to the output, eliminating resistor tolerance errors and layout sensitivity - a key advantage over adjustable regulators like LM2591HV-ADJ.
What package type is used for LM2591HVS-5.0/NOPB?
LM2591HVS-5.0/NOPB is supplied in the 5-pin DDPAK/TO-263 (KTT) surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad (10.18 mm × 8.41 mm). This package provides superior thermal performance compared to TO-220 and is optimized for automated assembly and high-power density PCB layouts.
How does the ON/OFF pin function on LM2591HVS-5.0/NOPB?
The ON/OFF pin (Pin 5) controls device enable state: driving it ≥2 V places LM2591HVS-5.0/NOPB in shutdown mode with ~90 μA quiescent current; leaving it floating or pulling it ≤0.6 V enables normal operation. The typical threshold is 1.3 V, and the pin must never exceed 25 V to avoid damage.
What is the typical efficiency of LM2591HVS-5.0/NOPB at full load?
LM2591HVS-5.0/NOPB achieves 82% typical efficiency at VIN = 12 V and ILOAD = 1 A, per the official electrical characteristics table. Efficiency varies with input voltage and load - e.g., drops to ~77% at VIN = 24 V due to higher switching and conduction losses - and depends on external component selection (Schottky diode, inductor DCR, capacitor ESR).
