Product details
Overview
LM2592HVS-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 up to 2 A load current with adjustable output voltage (1.2 V to 57 V), operates from 4.5 V to 60 V input, features 150-kHz fixed-frequency switching, and includes ON/OFF control with 90 μA standby current. It is used in on-card buck regulators requiring wide VIN range and robust thermal protection.
For engineers reviewing the LM2592HVS-ADJ/NOPB datasheet, LM2592HVS-ADJ/NOPB pinout, LM2592HVS-ADJ/NOPB application, or LM2592HVS-ADJ/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage headroom (≤60 V), feedback reference tolerance (±4% over line/load/temp), switch saturation voltage (1.3 V typ at 2 A), thermal shutdown behavior, and compatibility with external Schottky catch diodes and low-ESR output capacitors.
Technical Context
The LM2592HVS-ADJ/NOPB implements a current-mode controlled buck topology with internal 150-kHz oscillator, integrated 2-A N-channel DMOS switch, and precision 1.23-V feedback reference. Its two-stage current limit and thermal shutdown provide fault protection without external circuitry.
It operates in continuous or discontinuous conduction mode depending on load and inductor value, supports delayed start-up via ON/OFF pin RC network, and accepts feedforward compensation (CFF) for improved loop stability at high output voltages (>10 V) or low-ESR capacitors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 60 V - supports direct connection to 48-V industrial rails or automotive battery systems with transient margin. |
| Output Voltage Range | 1.2 V to 57 V (adjustable) - set by external resistor divider; ±4% tolerance ensures stable regulation across full line/load/temperature range. |
| Max Output Current | 2 A DC - sustained load capability with thermal derating above 125°C junction temperature. |
| Switching Frequency | 150 kHz (±15%) - enables use of compact 33–47 μH inductors and reduces EMI compared to lower-frequency alternatives. |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 1.23 V (±3.3%) - precise internal bandgap reference enabling accurate output programming with standard 1% resistors. |
| Standby Quiescent Current | 90 μA typical - enables ultra-low-power shutdown for battery-backed or energy-sensitive systems. |
| Switch Saturation Voltage | 1.3 V typical at 2 A - directly impacts conduction loss and efficiency at high load; limits minimum practical duty cycle. |
Pinout & Package
LM2592HVS-ADJ/NOPB is packaged in a 5-pin TO-220 (NDH) package with exposed tab for thermal dissipation (RθJA = 50°C/W on JEDEC 4-layer board). The pinout is optimized for minimal PCB layout complexity and noise immunity.
| 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 inductor; swings between ~(+VIN − 1.3 V) and ~−0.5 V; must be routed short and wide to minimize ringing. |
| 3: Ground | Power & Signal Reference | Common return for input/output capacitors, feedback network, and ON/OFF pull-down; connects to exposed tab for thermal path. |
| 4: Feedback | Regulation Sense | Monitors output via resistor divider; 1.23-V reference sets VOUT = 1.23 × (1 + R1/R2); sensitive to noise-requires guard ring and short trace. |
| 5: ON/OFF | Enable Control | Logic-level shutdown: ≥2 V disables regulator (90 μA IQ); ≤0.6 V or floating enables operation; max 25 V absolute rating. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide Input Range (4.5–60 V) | Eliminates need for preregulator stages in 24/48-V industrial systems and accommodates automotive cold-crank transients. |
| Integrated 2-A Power Switch | Reduces BOM count and layout area; avoids gate-drive design complexity while maintaining >75% efficiency at 12-V IN / 3-V OUT / 2-A. |
| Fixed 150-kHz Oscillator | Enables predictable EMI filtering and consistent inductor sizing; eliminates external timing components required in variable-frequency controllers. |
| Thermal Shutdown + Current Limit | Self-protecting under overload or ambient overheating-no external sensing or latch circuitry needed for basic reliability. |
| ON/OFF Pin with Low-IQ Standby | Supports system-level power sequencing and sleep modes; 90 μA shutdown current extends battery life in portable or remote applications. |
Applications
| Industrial 24-V Power Distribution | Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) |

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 footprint and higher quiescent current (5 mA active vs. 10 mA). | Better suited for higher-current loads; less suitable where board space or standby power is constrained. | Choose LM2596HV-ADJ when >2 A output is required and thermal management allows higher power dissipation. |
| LM2678-ADJ | 2.5-A output, 260-kHz switching, integrated soft-start, but narrower 8–40 V input range and no ON/OFF pin. | Lacks enable control and wide-VIN capability; optimized for mid-range industrial supplies rather than automotive transients. | Prefer LM2678-ADJ only when 260-kHz operation is mandatory for EMI compliance and input stays within 40 V. |
Compared with LM2592HVS-ADJ/NOPB, LM2596HV-ADJ offers higher current but larger thermal footprint, while LM2678-ADJ trades wide input range and enable functionality for faster switching and soft-start-neither is pin-compatible, and all require distinct PCB layouts and external component recalculations.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM2592HVS-ADJ/NOPB?
The LM2592HVS-ADJ/NOPB has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 63 V, with recommended operating range up to 60 V. This allows direct use with 48-V industrial buses and automotive systems experiencing load-dump transients. Operation beyond 60 V risks permanent damage even if brief, and the device will shut down thermally before reaching destructive levels under overload.
How is the output voltage set on LM2592HVS-ADJ/NOPB?
The LM2592HVS-ADJ/NOPB uses a resistor divider from output to ground, with the midpoint connected to the Feedback pin. The internal 1.23-V reference forces VOUT = 1.23 × (1 + R1/R2), where R1 connects to VOUT and R2 to GND. For best accuracy, use 1% metal-film resistors and keep the FB trace short and guarded to avoid noise coupling that could destabilize regulation.
Does LM2592HVS-ADJ/NOPB require an external catch diode?
Yes, LM2592HVS-ADJ/NOPB requires an external Schottky catch diode (e.g., 3.3-A, 60-V rated) connected from the Output pin to ground. The internal switch does not include synchronous rectification, so the diode provides the inductor's freewheeling path during switch-off. TI recommends placing it close to the IC with short traces to minimize reverse recovery losses and EMI.
What thermal performance can be expected from LM2592HVS-ADJ/NOPB in a TO-220 package?
In the NDH (TO-220-5) package, LM2592HVS-ADJ/NOPB has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 50°C/W on a standard JEDEC 4-layer board. At 2-A load and 12-V input, typical power dissipation is ~2.6 W, resulting in ~130°C junction rise above ambient-well within the 150°C max rating. Use of a heatsink or copper pour on the tab significantly improves thermal margin.
Can LM2592HVS-ADJ/NOPB be used in a negative-output configuration?
Yes, LM2592HVS-ADJ/NOPB supports positive-to-negative conversion by bootstrapping the Ground pin to the negative output and referencing the Feedback pin to ground. The maximum sum of |VOUT| + VIN must not exceed 60 V. TI provides verified schematics (e.g., Figure 24 in SNVS075E) and cautions about added diodes for stability and ripple isolation in this topology.
