Product details
Overview
LM2594DADJR2G from onsemi is a monolithic step-down switching regulator (buck converter) delivering 0.5 A output current with 150 kHz fixed-frequency operation, adjustable output voltage from 1.23 V to 37 V, and wide 4.5–40 V input range. It integrates internal compensation, thermal shutdown, cycle-by-cycle current limiting, and TTL-compatible ON/OFF control-designed for high-efficiency DC-DC conversion in space-constrained industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LM2594DADJR2G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include guaranteed ±4% feedback voltage tolerance, 1.0–1.4 V switch saturation voltage at 0.5 A, standby current of 50 µA typical, and SOIC-8 package compatibility with standard PCB layout guidelines for EMI-sensitive buck topologies.
Technical Context
The LM2594DADJR2G implements a voltage-mode PWM controller with an internal 150 kHz oscillator and integrated NPN bipolar output switch. Its error amplifier compares the FB pin voltage against a precise 1.23 V reference to regulate output via external resistor divider, enabling programmable output without external compensation components.
Protection architecture includes cycle-by-cycle peak-current limiting (0.65–1.8 A), thermal shutdown at 150 °C junction temperature, and logic-level ON/OFF pin with 1.6 V threshold-allowing low-power disable mode while maintaining <250 µA total supply current during shutdown.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | Guaranteed 0.5 A continuous load capability with thermal derating above 25 °C ambient. |
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 40 V DC-supports 12 V, 24 V, and 36 V industrial bus rails with margin for transients. |
| Switching Frequency | Fixed 150 kHz-enables compact LC filter design with standard 100 µH inductors and 220 µF output capacitors. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.23 V ±4% at 25 °C-sets output voltage accuracy when used with precision external resistors R1/R2. |
| Standby Current | 50 µA typical at ON/OFF = 5 V-minimizes system power draw in sleep or standby states. |
| Switch Saturation | 1.0–1.4 V at 0.5 A-directly impacts conduction loss and efficiency at full load. |
| Oscillator Tolerance | ±15% over temperature-ensures predictable ripple frequency and EMI profile across operating range. |
Pinout & Package
LM2594DADJR2G is housed in an 8-lead SOIC surface-mount package (Case 751, D suffix), moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1, Pb-free, with standard 1.27 mm lead pitch and 5.0 mm × 6.2 mm body dimensions.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | NC | No internal connection-must remain unconnected; floating or tied to GND per layout best practice. |
| 4 | FB | Error amplifier inverting input-connects to resistor divider to set output voltage; bias current ≤200 nA minimizes divider error. |
| 5 | ON/OFF | Logic-enable input-<1.6 V enables regulation; ≥2.2 V disables with 50 µA standby current. |
| 6 | GND | Power and signal ground reference-requires low-impedance single-point or ground plane connection. |
| 7 | +VIN | Main input supply-requires local 68 µF low-ESR capacitor to suppress switching transients. |
| 8 | OUTPUT | Emitter of internal NPN switch-drives external catch diode and inductor; PCB copper area must be minimized to reduce EMI coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internal Compensation | Eliminates need for external compensation network-reduces BOM count and layout complexity in buck designs. |
| TTL Shutdown | Compatible with 3.3 V/5 V logic-enables microcontroller-controlled power sequencing without level-shifting. |
| Thermal + Current Protection | Self-recovering shutdown under overload or overtemperature-prevents permanent damage during fault conditions. |
| Adjustable Output Range | 1.23–37 V via two-resistor feedback-supports diverse rail requirements from 3.3 V logic to 24 V actuators. |
| Low Standby Power | 50 µA typical quiescent current in shutdown-critical for battery-backed or energy-harvesting systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2594MX-5.0/NOPB | Fixed 5.0 V output; same SOIC-8 package, 0.5 A rating, and 150 kHz frequency-but no external feedback adjustment. | Suitable only where 5.0 V output is fixed; eliminates R1/R2 but sacrifices flexibility for other voltages. | Select when output voltage is invariant and board space for feedback resistors must be minimized. |
| MP1584EN-LF-Z | Higher 3 A output, 1.5 MHz switching, smaller external components-but requires external compensation and has different pinout. | Better suited for higher-current or size-constrained designs; not drop-in compatible due to different FB/COMP/EN pin functions. | Choose for new designs needing >0.5 A or faster transient response; avoid for LM2594DADJR2G replacement without layout change. |
Compared with LM2594MX-5.0/NOPB, LM2594DADJR2G offers full output adjustability at identical footprint and protection features; versus MP1584EN-LF-Z, it trades higher current and frequency for simpler design-in and legacy compatibility-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, moderate-power industrial upgrades.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM2594DADJR2G?
The absolute maximum input voltage for LM2594DADJR2G is 45 V, with recommended operating range from 4.5 V to 40 V. Exceeding 45 V risks permanent damage per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. For reliable long-term operation, design margins should keep VIN ≤ 36 V under worst-case transients, especially when paired with 40 V-rated input capacitors.
Does LM2594DADJR2G require external compensation components?
No, LM2594DADJR2G features fully internal loop compensation-no external capacitor or resistor is needed on the COMP or FB pins. This simplifies design and reduces bill-of-materials cost. The internal compensation is optimized for standard buck configurations using 100 µH inductors and 220 µF output capacitors, as validated in the Typical Application Circuit (Figure 1).
How does the ON/OFF pin function in LM2594DADJR2G?
The ON/OFF pin (Pin 5) provides logic-level enable/disable control: applying <1.6 V (or leaving open) enables regulation; applying ≥2.2 V disables the internal switch and reduces total supply current to 50 µA typical. The pin accepts 3.3 V or 5 V logic signals directly-no level-shifting required-and maintains state through power cycling if driven externally.
What is the purpose of the NC pins (1–3) on LM2594DADJR2G?
Pins 1–3 on LM2594DADJR2G are Not Connected internally and must remain unconnected on the PCB. They may be left floating or tied to GND for mechanical stability-however, routing traces or vias to them is unnecessary and may introduce parasitic capacitance. This pin configuration is consistent across all SOIC-8 variants of the LM2594 family per the official marking diagram and pin function description.
Can LM2594DADJR2G be used in negative-output (buck-boost) configurations?
Yes, LM2594DADJR2G supports positive-to-negative conversion (inverting buck-boost topology) as documented in the Applications section of the datasheet. In this configuration, the OUTPUT pin drives the inductor to ground, the catch diode connects between OUTPUT and negative output rail, and feedback is referenced to the negative rail. Layout must follow strict ground separation guidelines to avoid noise coupling into the FB node.
