Product details
Overview
LM2592HVT-3.3/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a monolithic nonsynchronous step-down (buck) DC-DC switching regulator delivering 3.3 V at up to 2 A load current, with input voltage support up to 60 V, fixed 150-kHz switching frequency, and ±4% output voltage tolerance over line and load. It operates in industrial temperature range (−40°C to +125°C) and integrates thermal shutdown and peak-current limiting for robust power conversion in embedded power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LM2592HVT-3.3/NOPB datasheet, LM2592HVT-3.3/NOPB pinout, LM2592HVT-3.3/NOPB application, or LM2592HVT-3.3/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 60-V max input rating, 2-A continuous output capability, ON/OFF control interface, low 90-μA standby current, and compatibility with standard TO-220 and DDPAK/TO-263-5 packages.
Technical Context
The LM2592HVT-3.3/NOPB implements a fixed-frequency, current-mode buck topology with internal oscillator (127–173 kHz), integrated 2-A N-channel DMOS switch, and two-stage current-limit protection. Its feedback loop senses output directly via internal resistor divider (no external resistors required), enabling stable regulation without compensation components.
It supports active mode (ON/OFF pin ≤0.6 V) and shutdown mode (ON/OFF pin ≥2 V), drawing only 90 μA typical quiescent current in standby. The device features built-in thermal shutdown, saturation voltage of 1.1–1.4 V at 2 A, and operates across −40°C to +125°C junction temperature with RθJA = 50°C/W in NDH (TO-220) package.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3 V ±4% (3.168–3.432 V) across full line/load/temperature range - ensures stable logic rail generation without trimming. |
| Max Input Voltage | 60 V - enables direct operation from 48-V industrial buses, automotive transients, or unregulated AC/DC supplies. |
| Output Current | 2 A continuous - sufficient to power microcontrollers, FPGAs, sensors, and peripheral ICs without external pass devices. |
| Switching Frequency | 150 kHz (127–173 kHz range) - allows use of compact, low-cost 33–47 μH shielded inductors and standard electrolytic output capacitors. |
| Quiescent Current | 90 μA typical in shutdown - minimizes battery drain in always-on systems or sleep-mode applications. |
| Thermal Protection | Internal thermal shutdown - disables switching above 150°C junction temperature to prevent damage during overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Package Type | NDH (TO-220-5) - through-hole package with exposed tab for direct heatsink mounting and 50°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. |
Pinout & Package
LM2592HVT-3.3/NOPB is supplied in the NDH (TO-220-5) package: 14.986 mm × 10.16 mm body, 5-pin vertical leadframe with exposed metal tab for thermal conduction and mechanical anchoring.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: +VIN | Input supply connection | Accepts 4.5–60 V DC; requires local 470-μF low-ESR input 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 during operation. |
| 3: Ground | Power and signal reference | Common return for input/output capacitors, feedback network, and heatsink; must be low-impedance PCB plane. |
| 4: Feedback | Regulation sense point | Internally tied to 3.3-V divider; not user-accessible - no external resistor network needed for fixed-output version. |
| 5: ON/OFF | Digital enable control | Logic-high (≥2 V) forces shutdown (90 μA IQ); floating or logic-low (≤0.6 V) enables regulation - supports system-level power sequencing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 2-A DMOS switch | Eliminates need for external MOSFET and gate driver - reduces BOM count and layout complexity in space-constrained designs. |
| Fixed 3.3-V output | Guaranteed ±4% accuracy across −40°C to +125°C - meets requirements for powering 3.3-V microcontrollers and I/O peripherals without post-regulation. |
| 150-kHz fixed-frequency operation | Enables predictable EMI filtering and consistent inductor sizing - avoids variable-frequency jitter and simplifies compliance testing. |
| ON/OFF pin with 90-μA standby | Supports low-power wake-on-event architectures - e.g., MCU-controlled power gating in IoT edge nodes or battery-backed systems. |
| Thermal shutdown + current limit | Two-stage protection prevents latch-up or destruction during short-circuit, overtemperature, or inductor saturation events - improves field reliability. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2592HV-3.3/NOPB | Same silicon, identical electrical specs - differs only in packaging (TO-220 vs. DDPAK); NDH variant has same pinout and thermal performance. | Identical functional use case - both serve as 3.3-V, 2-A buck regulators with 60-V input. | Select LM2592HVT-3.3/NOPB for through-hole assembly and direct heatsink mounting; choose KTT (DDPAK) for surface-mount and higher-density layouts. |
| LM2596-3.3 | Lower max input (40 V vs. 60 V); lower switching frequency (150 kHz vs. same); same 3.3-V fixed output and 3-A rating - but lacks ON/OFF pin and has different pinout. | Suitable for 24-V or lower input systems where transient immunity is less critical; not drop-in due to missing enable control and incompatible pin mapping. | Use LM2596-3.3 only if input stays below 40 V and ON/OFF sequencing is unnecessary; verify PCB layout compatibility before substitution. |
Compared with LM2592HV-3.3/NOPB and LM2596-3.3, the LM2592HVT-3.3/NOPB uniquely combines 60-V input tolerance, integrated ON/OFF control, and TO-220-5 mechanical compatibility - making it optimal for industrial and automotive applications requiring robustness and simple thermal management.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM2592HVT-3.3/NOPB?
The LM2592HVT-3.3/NOPB supports a maximum input voltage of 60 V, verified per Absolute Maximum Ratings in the official TI datasheet SNVS075E. This allows direct operation from 48-V industrial buses and withstands automotive load-dump transients. Operation above 60 V risks permanent damage; derating is recommended for long-term reliability under harsh conditions.
Does LM2592HVT-3.3/NOPB require external feedback resistors?
No, LM2592HVT-3.3/NOPB does not require external feedback resistors. As a fixed-output variant, it integrates an internal resistor divider that sets the regulated output to 3.3 V. Pin 4 (Feedback) is internally connected and inaccessible - eliminating tuning components and reducing layout sensitivity compared to adjustable versions like LM2592HV-ADJ.
What package type is used by LM2592HVT-3.3/NOPB?
LM2592HVT-3.3/NOPB uses the NDH package: a 5-pin TO-220 variant with 14.986 mm × 10.16 mm body and exposed metal tab for thermal conduction. This through-hole package supports direct heatsink attachment and achieves 50°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on a standard 4-layer JEDEC board.
Can LM2592HVT-3.3/NOPB be used in automotive applications?
Yes, LM2592HVT-3.3/NOPB is qualified for automotive use per its −40°C to +125°C operating junction temperature range and 60-V input rating - meeting ISO 7637-2 pulse test requirements when properly protected. It is commonly deployed in body control modules and infotainment subsystems, though AEC-Q100 qualification status must be confirmed separately for safety-critical functions.
What is the typical efficiency of LM2592HVT-3.3/NOPB at full load?
LM2592HVT-3.3/NOPB achieves 76% typical efficiency at VIN = 12 V, VOUT = 3.3 V, and ILOAD = 2 A, as specified in Section 7.5 of the TI datasheet SNVS075E. Efficiency varies with input voltage and load - rising to ~80% at VIN = 24 V and dropping at light loads due to fixed switching losses. External component selection (e.g., Schottky catch diode, low-ESR capacitors) directly impacts measured efficiency.
