Product details
Overview
LM2593HVT-5.0/NOPB 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, 5-V fixed output, and input voltage support up to 60 V. It integrates internal frequency compensation, soft-start, shutdown control, and out-of-regulation error flag - used in industrial power supplies requiring high-input-voltage step-down regulation.
For engineers reviewing the LM2593HVT-5.0/NOPB datasheet, LM2593HVT-5.0/NOPB pinout, LM2593HVT-5.0/NOPB application, or LM2593HVT-5.0/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 2-A load capability, 90-μA standby current in shutdown mode, 150-kHz fixed-frequency operation enabling compact magnetics, thermal shutdown protection, and TO-263-7 package suitability for high-power density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LM2593HVT-5.0/NOPB implements a voltage-mode controlled buck topology with an integrated 2-A N-channel DMOS switch, fixed 150-kHz oscillator, and internal compensation network. Its feedback loop references a precision 1.23-V bandgap, with the 5-V fixed version internally connecting the Feedback (Pin 6) directly to Output (Pin 2).
Functional modes include active regulation (SD/SS ≥2 V), shutdown (SD/SS ≤0.6 V, IQ ≈90 μA), and programmable soft-start via external capacitor on SD/SS (Pin 7). The Error Flag (Pin 3) provides open-collector power-good signaling with user-defined delay via capacitor on Delay (Pin 5), clamped to 1.3 V threshold.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0 V ±4% over full line (7–60 V), load (0.2–2 A), and temperature (–40°C to +125°C) range - ensures stable rail for downstream logic or analog circuitry without external resistor divider. |
| Max Input Voltage | 60 V - supports wide-input applications including 48-V industrial buses, automotive transients, and unregulated AC/DC front-ends. |
| Switching Frequency | 150 kHz (±15%) - enables use of smaller, lower-cost inductors and capacitors versus lower-frequency alternatives (e.g., 50–100 kHz), reducing solution footprint. |
| Output Current | 2 A DC continuous - delivers sufficient power for FPGA I/O banks, microcontroller cores, or sensor signal chains without external current boosting. |
| Standby Quiescent Current | 90 μA typical at VIN = 60 V - minimizes system-level power loss during sleep or standby modes in battery-backed or energy-sensitive equipment. |
| Thermal Protection | Internal thermal shutdown - automatically disables switching if junction temperature exceeds 150°C, preventing permanent damage under overload or poor heatsinking conditions. |
| Oscillator Accuracy | ±15% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures predictable ripple frequency and EMI profile across operating temperature, critical for EMC-compliant designs. |
Pinout & Package
LM2593HVT-5.0/NOPB is housed in a thermally enhanced 7-pin TO-263 (KTW) surface-mount package (10.10 mm × 8.89 mm), featuring an exposed thermal pad for direct PCB copper connection to improve heat dissipation. Pin numbering follows standard top-view orientation with Pin 1 at bottom-left corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VIN | Positive input supply | Accepts 7–60 V DC; requires low-ESR input capacitor (≥470 µF) placed adjacent to minimize switching noise and transient voltage drop. |
| 2 - Output | Internal switch node | Drives external diode and inductor; swings between ~VIN–1.3 V (ON) and ~–0.5 V (OFF); must be routed with short, low-inductance traces. |
| 3 - Flag | Open-collector error flag | Asserts low (≤0.3 V @ 3 mA sink) when output falls below 95% of 5 V; requires external pull-up (e.g., 4.7 kΩ to VOUT) and clamp if pulled above 45 V. |
| 4 - Ground | Circuit reference | Common return for VIN, Output, Feedback, and thermal pad; must connect to large PCB copper pour for low-impedance path and thermal conduction. |
| 5 - Delay | Power-up delay timing | Charged by 3-μA internal current source; sets Flag assertion delay after regulation; 0.1 µF yields ~43 ms delay (t = C × 1.3 V / 3 μA). |
| 6 - Feedback | Voltage sense input | Internally tied to Output for 5-V fixed version; not user-accessible - eliminates external resistor network and associated tolerance errors. |
| 7 - SD/SS | Shutdown/Soft-start control | Drives low (≤0.6 V) for shutdown (IQ ≈90 μA); floats or rises ≥2 V for operation; adding capacitor enables linear output ramp (soft-start) to limit inrush current. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 2-A power switch | Eliminates need for external MOSFET and gate driver, reducing BOM count and layout complexity while maintaining 1.3-V typical saturation voltage at full load. |
| Fixed 5-V output with ±4% tolerance | Guarantees accurate regulation across full operating range - avoids calibration overhead in systems requiring precise 5-V logic or analog supply rails. |
| Programmable soft-start | Enables controlled output voltage ramp using single capacitor on SD/SS pin - prevents input inrush, output overshoot, and false triggering of downstream reset circuits. |
| Out-of-regulation error flag with delay | Provides reliable power-good status with user-configurable hold-off time - supports safe sequencing in multi-rail systems and fault logging in industrial controllers. |
| Thermal shutdown + current limiting | Two-stage protection: peak current limit (2.4–3.7 A) prevents switch destruction during short-circuit; thermal shutdown (150°C) guards against sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM2593HVT-5.0/NOPB?
The absolute maximum input voltage for LM2593HVT-5.0/NOPB is 63 V, with recommended operation up to 60 V. This enables use in 48-V industrial systems and automotive applications subject to load dump transients. Exceeding 63 V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings. The device maintains regulation down to 7 V input for 5-V output, supporting cold-crank scenarios.
Does LM2593HVT-5.0/NOPB require external feedback resistors?
No - LM2593HVT-5.0/NOPB is the fixed 5-V output variant, with the Feedback (Pin 6) internally connected to the Output (Pin 2). No external resistor divider is needed, eliminating tolerance errors and simplifying layout. This differs from the adjustable version (LM2593HVS-ADJ), which requires two external resistors to set VOUT.
How does the error flag (Flag pin) operate on LM2593HVT-5.0/NOPB?
The Flag pin (Pin 3) is an open-collector output that pulls low (≤0.3 V, sinking up to 3 mA) when the 5-V output drops below 95% (i.e., <4.75 V), indicating out-of-regulation. It remains high (via external pull-up) when in regulation. A capacitor on the Delay pin (Pin 5) programs the time before Flag asserts high after power-up - preventing premature system enable during voltage ramp.
What thermal performance can be expected from LM2593HVT-5.0/NOPB in a typical PCB layout?
With the TO-263-7 package's thermal pad soldered to 2.5 in² of 1-oz copper on a single-sided PCB, LM2593HVT-5.0/NOPB achieves a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 30°C/W. At 2-A load and 12-V input, typical power dissipation is ~1.8 W, resulting in ~54°C junction rise above ambient - well within the 125°C max operating temperature, assuming 70°C ambient.
Can LM2593HVT-5.0/NOPB be used in shutdown mode to reduce system power consumption?
Yes - driving the SD/SS pin (Pin 7) to ≤0.6 V places LM2593HVT-5.0/NOPB into shutdown mode, reducing quiescent current to 90 μA typical (max 200 μA) at 60-V input. This enables ultra-low-power standby in battery-operated or energy-harvesting systems. The output is disabled, and the Flag pin goes low, signaling loss of regulation.
