Product details
Overview
LM2591HVS-ADJ/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a monolithic nonsynchronous step-down DC-DC converter IC designed for high-input-voltage industrial and automotive power supplies. It delivers 1-A output current with adjustable output voltage (1.2 V to 57 V), operates up to 60-V input, features 150-kHz fixed-frequency switching, and includes ON/OFF control and thermal shutdown - used in on-card buck regulators requiring wide VIN range and stable regulation under varying load.
For engineers reviewing the LM2591HVS-ADJ/NOPB datasheet, LM2591HVS-ADJ/NOPB pinout, LM2591HVS-ADJ/NOPB application, or LM2591HVS-ADJ/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include feedback voltage accuracy (1.23 V ±3%), standby current (90 μA), saturation voltage (1.2 V at 1 A), oscillator frequency tolerance (±15%), and thermal protection behavior across −40°C to +125°C ambient.
Technical Context
The LM2591HVS-ADJ/NOPB implements a current-mode controlled buck topology with internal 150-kHz oscillator, integrated 1.9-A peak-current-limited N-channel DMOS switch, and voltage feedback loop referenced to a precision 1.23-V bandgap reference. Its feedback pin senses output via external resistor divider, enabling programmable regulation from 1.2 V to 57 V with ±4% total error over line, load, and temperature.
It supports active mode operation when ON/OFF pin is ≤0.6 V or floating, and enters low-power shutdown (ISTBY = 90 μA typ.) when ON/OFF ≥2 V. Protection includes thermal shutdown, two-stage current limiting, and absolute maximum ratings up to 63-V input and 25-V ON/OFF pin voltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 60 V - supports wide-range industrial rails including 24-V, 36-V, and 48-V systems without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 1 A continuous - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and analog circuitry in embedded systems. |
| Feedback Voltage | 1.23 V ±3% - sets output via R1/R2 divider; enables precise 1.2–57 V adjustment with <±4% total output error. |
| Switching Frequency | 150 kHz ±15% - allows use of compact, low-cost 10–100 μH inductors and reduces EMI compared to lower-frequency alternatives. |
| Quiescent Current | 90 μA typical in shutdown - minimizes battery drain in always-on or wake-on-event applications. |
| Saturation Voltage | 1.2 V max at 1 A - defines conduction loss in high-side switch; impacts efficiency especially at low VOUT. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at TJ ≥150°C - protects device during overload or poor heatsinking; auto-recovery on cooldown. |
Pinout & Package
LM2591HVS-ADJ/NOPB is supplied in a 5-pin DDPAK/TO-263 (KTT) package with exposed thermal pad, measuring 10.18 mm × 8.41 mm. This thermally enhanced surface-mount package enables direct PCB copper pour connection for efficient heat dissipation in high-power-density designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| +VIN | Positive input supply | Accepts 4.5–60 V DC; requires local low-ESR bypass capacitor to handle high di/dt switching currents. |
| Output | Switch node | Drives external catch diode and inductor; swings between ~(+VIN − VSAT) and ~−0.5 V during operation. |
| Ground | Power and signal reference | Common return for input/output capacitors, feedback network, and thermal pad; must be low-impedance. |
| Feedback | Voltage sense input | Compares divided output to 1.23-V internal reference; open-circuit or short-circuit here disables regulation. |
| ON/OFF | Enable/disable control | Logic-high (≥2 V) forces shutdown (90 μA IQ); floating or logic-low (≤0.6 V) enables normal operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable output range | 1.2 V to 57 V - supports single-bom flexibility across multiple system voltages without redesigning power stage. |
| Integrated current-limit protection | 1.3–2.8 A peak switch current limit - prevents damage during short-circuit or startup inrush without external sensing. |
| Fixed 150-kHz oscillator | No external timing components required - simplifies layout, improves EMI predictability, and avoids component drift. |
| Low standby current | 90 μA typical shutdown IQ - extends battery life in portable or energy-harvesting systems with intermittent operation. |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Triggers at 150°C junction, resets ~10–15°C below - prevents thermal cycling and ensures safe recovery after fault clearance. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2596HV-ADJ | Higher 3-A output current, 150-kHz frequency, but larger TO-220-5 package and higher quiescent current (5 mA active). | Better suited for higher-load applications; less ideal for space-constrained PCBs due to through-hole footprint. | Select when >1-A load or higher thermal margin is required; verify layout compatibility with TO-220 mounting. |
| TPS54160DGQ | 1.5-A synchronous buck, 100-V input, 2.5-V to 60-V adjustable output, 100-kHz to 2.5-MHz programmable frequency. | Enables smaller inductors and higher efficiency at light loads; requires external MOSFET drivers and compensation. | Choose for ultra-wide VIN (up to 100 V) or where synchronous rectification improves efficiency >85% at partial load. |
Compared with LM2591HVS-ADJ/NOPB, LM2596HV-ADJ offers higher current but sacrifices board area and standby power; TPS54160DGQ provides wider input range and frequency flexibility but increases design complexity and BOM count.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LM2591HVS-ADJ/NOPB to regulate a 5-V output?
The LM2591HVS-ADJ/NOPB requires a minimum input voltage of approximately 6.5 V to sustain 5-V output at full 1-A load, based on its dropout behavior and 1.2-V feedback reference. At lighter loads, regulation can begin near 4.5 V per datasheet recommended operating conditions, but practical design margins require ≥7 V input for reliable 5-V operation across temperature and line variation.
Can LM2591HVS-ADJ/NOPB be used in a negative-output (inverting) configuration?
Yes, LM2591HVS-ADJ/NOPB supports inverting buck-boost topology to generate negative outputs - e.g., −5 V from +12 V - by reconfiguring ground and feedback connections per Figure 25 in the datasheet. The regulator sees |VIN| + |VOUT| across its input-to-ground terminals, so total must remain ≤60 V; for −12 V from +24 V, the device experiences 36 V, staying within rating.
What is the purpose of the feedforward capacitor (CFF) in LM2591HVS-ADJ/NOPB circuits?
The feedforward capacitor (CFF) across the upper feedback resistor improves phase margin and loop stability when output voltage exceeds 10 V or output capacitor ESR is very low (<100 mΩ). It adds lead compensation to counteract the right-half-plane zero inherent in buck converters. CFF values >0.1 μF are discouraged due to risk of negative voltage spikes on the feedback pin during output short-circuit events.
Does LM2591HVS-ADJ/NOPB require an external catch diode, and what type is recommended?
Yes, LM2591HVS-ADJ/NOPB requires an external catch diode connected from Output to Ground. A Schottky diode rated ≥2 A and ≥60 V (e.g., 21DQ06) is strongly recommended for best efficiency and fast recovery, especially at output voltages ≤5 V. Fast-recovery diodes may be used for higher-VIN applications, but ultra-fast types with abrupt turnoff can induce EMI or instability.
How does the ON/OFF pin function in LM2591HVS-ADJ/NOPB, and what are its voltage thresholds?
The ON/OFF pin enables digital control of LM2591HVS-ADJ/NOPB operation: pulling it to ≤0.6 V or leaving it floating activates regulation; driving it to ≥2 V places the device in shutdown with 90 μA typical quiescent current. Threshold voltage is typically 1.3 V, with guaranteed turn-off above 2 V and turn-on below 0.6 V across −40°C to +125°C. Pin voltage must never exceed 25 V.
