Product details
Overview
LM2592HVSX-5.0/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a monolithic nonsynchronous step-down (buck) DC-DC switching regulator delivering 5.0 V at up to 2 A output current, with input voltage support up to 60 V, fixed 150-kHz switching frequency, and ±4% output voltage tolerance over line and load. It serves as a primary power conversion stage in industrial power supplies, automotive subsystems, and distributed point-of-load applications.
For engineers reviewing the LM2592HVSX-5.0/NOPB datasheet, LM2592HVSX-5.0/NOPB pinout, LM2592HVSX-5.0/NOPB application, or LM2592HVSX-5.0/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2-A continuous output capability, 90 μA standby quiescent current, thermal shutdown protection, ON/OFF control interface, and compatibility with standard 5-pin TO-220 and DDPAK packages.
Technical Context
The LM2592HVSX-5.0/NOPB integrates a high-voltage N-channel MOSFET switch, internal 150-kHz oscillator, error amplifier, and feedback comparator in a single chip. Its fixed-output architecture ties the Feedback pin directly to the Output pin, eliminating external resistor dividers and simplifying design for stable 5.0 V regulation across 7–60 V input range.
It operates in continuous conduction mode (CCM) at full load and transitions to discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) under light loads. Protection features include two-stage current limiting (peak limit ≥2.4 A), thermal shutdown at 150 °C junction temperature, and undervoltage lockout behavior enabled via the ON/OFF pin.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0 V ±4% (4.8–5.2 V) across full operating temperature and load range - ensures stable rail for microcontrollers and analog circuitry without trimming. |
| Max Output Current | 2 A DC continuous - supports moderate-power loads such as sensors, actuators, and communication interfaces without external current boosting. |
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 60 V - enables direct operation from 12 V/24 V/48 V industrial buses and automotive batteries with transient tolerance. |
| Switching Frequency | 150 kHz (±15%) - allows use of compact, low-cost 33–47 μH inductors and standard electrolytic output capacitors. |
| Quiescent Current | 90 μA typical in shutdown mode - minimizes battery drain in always-on systems with enable-controlled power sequencing. |
| Efficiency | 81% typical at VIN = 12 V, IOUT = 2 A - reduces thermal load and improves system-level power density versus linear regulators. |
| Saturation Voltage | 1.3 V typical at 2 A - defines minimum dropout headroom and impacts thermal dissipation in high-current, low-VIN scenarios. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at 150 °C junction temperature - prevents permanent damage during overload or poor heatsinking conditions. |
Pinout & Package
LM2592HVSX-5.0/NOPB is supplied in a 5-pin TO-220 (NDH) package with through-hole mounting and integral heat sink tab. The package measures 14.986 mm × 10.16 mm and supports PCB copper pour thermal relief.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| +VIN | Positive input 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 | Switch node | Drives external catch diode and inductor; swings between ~(+VIN − 1.3 V) and ~−0.5 V; must be routed with minimal loop area for EMI control. |
| Ground | Power and signal reference | Common return for input/output capacitors, feedback network, and thermal pad; must connect to large copper plane for thermal and noise performance. |
| Feedback | Regulation sense | Internally tied to Output pin for fixed 5.0 V version; no external divider needed - eliminates resistor tolerance errors and layout sensitivity. |
| ON/OFF | Enable control input | Logic-compatible shutdown: ≤0.6 V = active, ≥2 V = standby (90 μA IQ); threshold typically 1.3 V; max rating 25 V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated high-voltage switch | Supports 60 V max input without external FET - reduces BOM count and layout complexity for wide-input applications. |
| Fixed-frequency oscillator | 150-kHz internal clock enables predictable EMI filtering and consistent inductor sizing across designs. |
| Thermal + current protection | Dual-stage current limit (2.4–3.7 A peak) plus 150 °C thermal shutdown - provides robust fault handling without external circuitry. |
| Low-IQ shutdown mode | 90 μA typical standby current - extends battery life in portable or energy-harvested systems requiring periodic wake-up. |
| Simple PCB layout | 5-pin TO-220 footprint with dedicated ground and input/output pins - minimizes parasitic inductance and eases thermal management. |
| Wide operating temperature | Rated for −40 °C to +125 °C ambient - suitable for under-hood automotive, factory automation, and outdoor industrial equipment. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LM2592HVSX-5.0/NOPB to regulate 5.0 V output?
The LM2592HVSX-5.0/NOPB requires a minimum input voltage of 7 V to maintain 5.0 V regulation across its full 0.2–2 A load range, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. Below 7 V, dropout occurs and output voltage drops linearly with input; the device remains functional but exits regulation. This headroom accounts for switch saturation voltage (~1.3 V) and control loop margin.
Does LM2592HVSX-5.0/NOPB require an external feedback resistor network?
No, LM2592HVSX-5.0/NOPB does not require external feedback resistors. As a fixed-output variant, its Feedback pin is internally connected to the Output pin, establishing the 5.0 V regulation setpoint without external components - simplifying design, improving accuracy, and eliminating resistor tolerance and temperature drift effects.
Can LM2592HVSX-5.0/NOPB be used in a negative-output (inverting) configuration?
Yes, LM2592HVSX-5.0/NOPB can be configured as a positive-to-negative inverter per TI Application Note AN-1157. In this topology, the Ground pin is lifted to the negative output voltage, and the Feedback pin is referenced to that node. The device generates −5.0 V from a positive input, with maximum |VIN| + |VOUT| ≤ 60 V - e.g., +20 V input yields −12 V output.
What thermal derating applies to LM2592HVSX-5.0/NOPB in TO-220 package at 125 °C ambient?
In the NDH (TO-220) package, LM2592HVSX-5.0/NOPB has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 50 °C/W. At 125 °C ambient, the maximum allowable power dissipation before reaching 150 °C junction limit is (150 − 125)/50 = 0.5 W. With typical 1.3 V saturation voltage, this corresponds to ~385 mA continuous output current - confirming derating is essential for full 2 A operation above 85 °C ambient.
Is LM2592HVSX-5.0/NOPB RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, LM2592HVSX-5.0/NOPB is RoHS compliant and lead-free. The "/NOPB" suffix explicitly denotes "No Lead (Pb)-Free", indicating compliance with EU Directive 2011/65/EU and TI's green packaging standards. The device uses matte tin lead finish and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 3 requirements.
