Product details
Overview
LM2592HVT-ADJ/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 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 from 1.2 V to 57 V (±4% tolerance), operates from 4.5 V to 60 V input, and integrates a 150-kHz fixed-frequency oscillator and thermal/current protection - used in on-board 24-V/48-V buck regulators.
For engineers reviewing the LM2592HVT-ADJ/NOPB datasheet, LM2592HVT-ADJ/NOPB pinout, LM2592HVT-ADJ/NOPB application, or LM2592HVT-ADJ/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its wide VIN range, ON/OFF control interface, feedback voltage accuracy (1.23 V ±3%), standby current (90 μA), and TO-220–compatible 5-pin package with integrated switch and protection.
Technical Context
The LM2592HVT-ADJ/NOPB implements a monolithic buck topology with an internal N-channel DMOS switch, fixed 150-kHz oscillator, and voltage-mode PWM control loop referenced to a precision 1.23-V feedback threshold. Its two-stage current limit (2.4 A typical peak) and thermal shutdown ensure fault robustness without external sensing components.
It supports external ON/OFF logic control (VIH = 1.3 V, VIL = 0.6 V), operates in continuous or discontinuous conduction mode depending on load and inductor value, and requires only five external components - input capacitor, output capacitor, catch diode, inductor, and feedback resistor divider - for full regulation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 60 V - supports direct connection to 24-V, 36-V, and 48-V industrial bus rails without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 2 A DC - sufficient for powering FPGA I/O banks, microcontroller cores, or analog subsystems from a single stage. |
| Feedback Voltage | 1.23 V ±3% - sets output via resistive divider; enables precise 1.2–57 V adjustment with <±4% total output error over line/load/temp. |
| Switching Frequency | 150 kHz (±15%) - allows use of low-cost, high-saturation-current inductors and reduces EMI filtering burden vs. lower-frequency alternatives. |
| Standby Current | 90 μA typical - enables low-power sleep modes in battery-backed or energy-conscious systems without auxiliary LDOs. |
| Current Limit | 2.4 A minimum peak - provides hard short-circuit protection while allowing margin above 2-A rated load for transient surges. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150 °C junction - self-protects during overload or poor heatsinking; automatic recovery after cooldown. |
Pinout & Package
LM2592HVT-ADJ/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 features exposed metal for thermal conduction to PCB copper or external heatsink.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: +VIN | Power Input | Accepts 4.5–60 V DC; requires local low-ESR bypass capacitor to supply pulsed switch current and suppress transients. |
| 2: Output | Switch Node | Drives external catch diode and inductor; swings between ~(+VIN − 1.3 V) and ~−0.5 V during operation. |
| 3: Ground | Reference Return | Common return for internal circuitry, feedback network, and external components; must be low-impedance path to minimize noise. |
| 4: Feedback | Error Amplifier Input | Senses regulated output via resistor divider; 1.23-V reference sets VOUT = 1.23 × (1 + R1/R2); bias current ≤50 nA minimizes divider error. |
| 5: ON/OFF | Control Logic Input | Active-low enable: ≤0.6 V = ON, ≥2 V = OFF; 90-μA standby draw when high; max 25-V absolute rating protects against overvoltage. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide Input Range (4.5–60 V) | Eliminates need for upstream pre-regulators in 24-V/48-V systems, reducing BOM count and board space. |
| Adjustable Output (1.2–57 V) | Supports diverse rail requirements (e.g., 3.3 V for logic, 12 V for actuators, 24 V for sensors) with one footprint. |
| Integrated Switch & Protection | Reduces external component count to just 5 parts; built-in thermal shutdown and current limiting simplify safety certification. |
| ON/OFF Control Interface | Enables system-level power sequencing and low-power sleep states without external MOSFET drivers or logic gates. |
| Fixed 150-kHz Oscillator | Ensures predictable EMI profile and simplifies filter design; avoids frequency jitter issues seen in variable-frequency controllers. |

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 vs. 90 μA). | Better suited for higher-load applications (>2 A); less optimal for ultra-low-power standby modes. | Select when load exceeds 2 A or when higher current margin is required; verify thermal layout for increased dissipation. |
| TPS54202DRT | 2-A synchronous buck with 4.5–28-V input, 500-kHz switching, and integrated high-/low-side FETs; no external diode needed. | Offers higher efficiency at light loads and smaller solution size, but limited to ≤28 V input - unsuitable for 48-V+ systems. | Prefer for space-constrained, low-input-voltage designs where efficiency >85% at 100-mA load is critical. |
Compared with LM2592HVT-ADJ/NOPB, LM2596HV-ADJ trades lower standby current for higher output capability, while TPS54202DRT improves light-load efficiency and integration at the cost of input voltage headroom - making LM2592HVT-ADJ/NOPB uniquely balanced for 48-V industrial buck conversion with low-quiescent operation.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM2592HVT-ADJ/NOPB?
The LM2592HVT-ADJ/NOPB has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 63 V, with recommended operating range from 4.5 V to 60 V. Operation at 60 V is fully specified across temperature and load conditions, making it suitable for 48-V nominal systems experiencing load dump or surge events. Exceeding 63 V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
How does the feedback pin (Pin 4) function in LM2592HVT-ADJ/NOPB?
In LM2592HVT-ADJ/NOPB, Pin 4 (Feedback) connects to a precision 1.23-V internal reference. Output voltage is set by a resistor divider (R1–R2) between VOUT and GND, where VOUT = 1.23 × (1 + R1/R2). The pin draws only 10–50 nA bias current, minimizing divider error. For outputs >10 V or low-ESR capacitors, a feedforward capacitor across R2 improves loop stability.
Can LM2592HVT-ADJ/NOPB be used in a negative-output (inverting) configuration?
Yes - LM2592HVT-ADJ/NOPB supports inverting buck-boost topologies. By bootstrapping the GND pin to the negative output and referencing the Feedback pin to that node, it regulates negative voltages (e.g., −5 V, −12 V). The maximum |VIN| + |VOUT| must not exceed 60 V, and a Schottky catch diode plus isolation diode are required per TI Application Note AN-1157.
What thermal considerations apply to LM2592HVT-ADJ/NOPB in TO-220 package?
The LM2592HVT-ADJ/NOPB in NDH (TO-220-5) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 50 °C/W on a standard 4-layer JEDEC board. To maintain TJ ≤125 °C at 2-A load and 60-V input, a minimum 2.5 cm² copper pour under the tab is recommended. Thermal shutdown activates at 150 °C and recovers automatically after cooldown.
Is LM2592HVT-ADJ/NOPB RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes - LM2592HVT-ADJ/NOPB carries the "/NOPB" suffix, indicating lead-free (Pb-free) and RoHS-compliant construction per Texas Instruments' packaging standards. It meets J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 3 and is qualified for reflow soldering per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020.
