Product details
Overview
LM2593HVS-3.3 from Texas Instruments is a monolithic 150-kHz non-synchronous buck DC-DC converter delivering up to 2 A output current with ±4% output voltage accuracy (3.3 V ±0.132 V), 4.75–60 V input range, and 76% efficiency at 12 VIN/2 A. It integrates internal frequency compensation, thermal shutdown, current limiting, and an out-of-regulation error flag-designed for industrial power supplies requiring robust 3.3-V rail generation.
For engineers reviewing the LM2593HVS-3.3 datasheet, LM2593HVS-3.3 pinout, LM2593HVS-3.3 application, or LM2593HVS-3.3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 60-V max input rating, TO-263-7 package thermal performance (RθJA = 30°C/W with 0.5 in² copper), soft-start/shutdown control via SD/SS pin, and fixed 3.3-V output eliminating external feedback resistors.
Technical Context
The LM2593HVS-3.3 implements a fixed-frequency (150 kHz, ±15%) current-mode PWM architecture with integrated 2-A N-channel MOSFET switch and internal oscillator. Its control loop uses voltage-mode feedback referenced to a 1.23-V internal bandgap, with direct connection of Feedback (Pin 6) to Output (Pin 2) in the fixed 3.3-V variant-eliminating external divider networks and reducing component count.
Functional supervision includes an open-collector Flag (Pin 3) asserting low ≤1 V when output drops below 95% of nominal, programmable delay via capacitor on Delay (Pin 5), and Shutdown/Soft-start (Pin 7) enabling <90 μA standby current and controlled output ramp-up. Protection features comprise two-stage current limit, thermal shutdown, and undervoltage lockout derived from SD/SS pin biasing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3 V ±4% (±0.132 V) over full line/load/temperature range-guarantees stable logic rail without trimming. |
| Max Input Voltage | 60 V-supports wide-input industrial, automotive, and telecom applications without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 2 A continuous-drives FPGA I/O banks, microcontroller cores, or multiple peripherals directly. |
| Switching Frequency | 150 kHz ±15%-enables use of compact 10–47 µH inductors and standard electrolytic output capacitors. |
| Quiescent Current | 90 µA typical in shutdown-minimizes battery drain in always-on systems. |
| Efficiency | 76% at 12 VIN, 2 A load-reduces thermal load vs. linear regulators in medium-power applications. |
| Thermal Resistance | RθJA = 30°C/W (TO-263, 0.5 in² copper)-enables 2-A operation without external heatsink under moderate ambient conditions. |
Pinout & Package
LM2593HVS-3.3 is housed in a 7-pin TO-263 (KTW) surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad (10.10 mm × 8.89 mm body size). The thermal pad must be soldered to ≥0.5 in² of PCB copper for rated 2-A operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 VIN | Positive input supply | Accepts 4.75–60 V; requires low-ESR input capacitor (≥470 µF) placed adjacent to minimize switching noise injection. |
| 2 Output | Switch node | Drives external diode and inductor; swings between ~VIN–1.3 V (ON) and –0.5 V (OFF); connects directly to FB in fixed 3.3-V version. |
| 3 Flag | Open-collector error flag | Asserts low ≤1 V when VOUT < 3.135 V; sinks ≤3 mA; requires external pull-up (4.7 kΩ typical) to monitor power-good status. |
| 4 Ground | Power and signal reference | Common return for input/output paths; must be low-impedance plane tied to thermal pad for thermal and EMI control. |
| 5 Delay | Flag delay timing | Charged by 3 µA internal current source; sets power-up delay before Flag goes high-0.1 µF yields ~430 ms delay. |
| 6 Feedback | Voltage sense input | Internally tied to Output pin in LM2593HVS-3.3-no external resistor network required; simplifies layout and improves stability. |
| 7 SD/SS | Shutdown/Soft-start control | Drives low ≤0.6 V for shutdown (<90 µA IQ); floats or >2 V for active mode; adding capacitor enables controlled VOUT ramp. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 3.3-V output | Eliminates external feedback resistors-reduces BOM count, layout area, and potential drift from resistor tolerance/temperature. |
| Integrated soft-start | Capacitor on SD/SS pin controls output voltage slew rate-prevents inrush current into large output capacitance or downstream loads. |
| Programmable power-good delay | Capacitor on Delay pin sets time from regulation to Flag assertion-enables sequenced power-up in multi-rail systems. |
| Out-of-regulation detection | Flag pin asserts within microseconds of VOUT dropping below 95%-provides real-time fault signaling for system monitoring or reset generation. |
| Thermal and current protection | Two-stage current limit + thermal shutdown prevent damage during overload, short-circuit, or inadequate heatsinking-no external protection circuitry needed. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Power Supply | Automotive Body Control Module |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM2593HVS-3.3?
The LM2593HVS-3.3 has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 63 V, with recommended operation up to 60 V. This allows reliable use in 48-V telecom, 24-V industrial, and 12-V automotive systems-including transient conditions like load dump. Exceeding 63 V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Does LM2593HVS-3.3 require external feedback resistors?
No. The LM2593HVS-3.3 is the fixed 3.3-V output variant-its Feedback (Pin 6) is internally connected to the Output (Pin 2), eliminating the need for external resistor dividers. This simplifies design, improves accuracy by removing resistor tolerance errors, and enhances thermal stability compared to adjustable versions.
How does the Flag pin on LM2593HVS-3.3 function?
The Flag pin (Pin 3) is an open-collector output that pulls low (≤1 V) when the regulated output falls below 95% of 3.3 V (i.e., <3.135 V), indicating out-of-regulation. It sinks up to 3 mA and requires an external pull-up resistor (typically 4.7 kΩ to 3.3–5 V). During startup, it remains low until the Delay pin capacitor charges, then goes high to signal "power good."
What thermal performance can be expected from LM2593HVS-3.3 in its TO-263 package?
In the TO-263-7 (KTW) package with 0.5 in² of 1-oz copper connected to the thermal pad, LM2593HVS-3.3 achieves RθJA = 30°C/W. At 2 A output and 12 V input, this allows ~2.6 W dissipation with ~78°C junction rise above ambient-enabling full-rated operation without a heatsink in typical industrial environments (≤70°C ambient).
Can LM2593HVS-3.3 be used in shutdown mode to reduce system power consumption?
Yes. Driving the SD/SS pin (Pin 7) to ≤0.6 V places LM2593HVS-3.3 in shutdown mode, reducing quiescent current to 90 µA typical (200 µA max). This is ideal for battery-backed systems or standby states. The output is disabled, Flag goes low, and internal switching ceases-while maintaining fast wake-up (<100 µs) when SD/SS is released or pulled high.
