Product details
Overview
LM2594HVM-5.0/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a nonsynchronous step-down DC-DC converter IC delivering 5 V at up to 0.5 A, with 4.5–60 V input range, 150-kHz fixed-frequency operation, ±4% output voltage tolerance, and thermal/current-limit protection. It serves as a primary buck regulator in industrial power supplies requiring high-input-voltage resilience.
For engineers reviewing the LM2594HVM-5.0/NOPB datasheet, LM2594HVM-5.0/NOPB pinout, LM2594HVM-5.0/NOPB application, or LM2594HVM-5.0/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include HV input capability (60 V max), TTL-compatible ON/OFF control, 85 μA standby current, SOIC-8 package compatibility, and fixed 5-V output without external feedback resistors.
Technical Context
The LM2594HVM-5.0/NOPB integrates a PWM controller, power switch, oscillator, and error amplifier in a monolithic buck topology. Its internal 150-kHz oscillator enables predictable EMI behavior and simplifies filter design, while the two-stage current-limit circuit provides robust overload handling without external sensing.
It operates in discontinuous or continuous conduction mode depending on load and inductor selection, with self-protection features including thermal shutdown and overtemperature cutoff. The HV variant supports up to 60 V input, enabling direct connection to unregulated 48-V telecom or industrial bus rails without pre-regulation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0 V ±4% over line/load/temperature - eliminates need for feedback resistor network and ensures stable rail for microcontrollers and analog circuitry. |
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 60 V - supports wide-range industrial inputs including 24-V, 36-V, and 48-V systems without external LDO pre-regulation. |
| Max Output Current | 0.5 A DC - sufficient for powering multiple low-power peripherals or single-core MCUs with integrated analog functions. |
| Switching Frequency | 150 kHz (±15%) - balances efficiency and external component size; enables use of standard off-the-shelf 100–220 μH inductors. |
| Standby Quiescent Current | 85 μA typical - enables low-power sleep modes in battery-backed or energy-harvesting applications. |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | 150 °C junction - protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking in enclosed enclosures. |
| ON/OFF Logic Threshold | 1.3 V (ON), 2.0 V (OFF) - compatible with 3.3-V and 5-V logic families without level-shifting circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
LM2594HVM-5.0/NOPB is supplied in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package with 4.90 mm × 3.91 mm body size and standard surface-mount footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3 | NC | No internal connection; must be soldered to PCB ground plane for optimal thermal transfer per TI recommendation. |
| 4 | Feedback | Internally tied to 5-V reference; unused in fixed-output version but must remain unconnected (not grounded). |
| 5 | ON/OFF | TTL-compatible enable input: <1.3 V = ON, >2.0 V = OFF; draws only 5–15 μA during shutdown. |
| 6 | Ground | Main power and signal return path; requires low-impedance connection to minimize switching noise coupling. |
| 7 | +VIN | Main input supply pin; requires local 68-μF tantalum or low-ESR electrolytic bypass capacitor to suppress transients. |
| 8 | Output | Internal NPN switch collector node; switches between ~−0.5 V and (+VIN − 1.2 V); connects to catch diode anode and inductor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 5-V output | Eliminates external feedback resistors, reducing BOM count and layout sensitivity while guaranteeing ±4% regulation across temperature and load. |
| HV input rating (60 V) | Enables direct interface with 48-V industrial buses or automotive cold-crank scenarios without upstream pre-regulators. |
| 150-kHz fixed oscillator | Provides deterministic switching frequency for EMI filtering and avoids subharmonic instability common in variable-frequency converters. |
| TTL shutdown with 85-μA IQ | Supports system-level power sequencing and ultra-low-power sleep states without external bias circuitry. |
| Integrated thermal/current protection | Prevents catastrophic failure under short-circuit or overheating conditions without requiring external fault-detection circuitry. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2594MX-5.0/NOPB | Standard-voltage version (4.5–40 V input); lacks HV rating; otherwise identical pinout, specs, and SOIC-8 package. | Suitable only for ≤40 V input systems; not rated for 48-V industrial or telecom applications. | Select LM2594MX-5.0/NOPB only when input never exceeds 40 V and cost is prioritized over voltage margin. |
| LMR36506RNXR | Synchronous buck converter (3–65 V), 0.6-A, 2.1-MHz, 92% peak efficiency, integrated MOSFETs, smaller solution size. | Requires different layout, no external diode needed, higher frequency demands tighter layout; not drop-in compatible. | Choose LMR36506RNXR for new designs targeting higher efficiency, smaller footprint, and reduced BOM - not for LM2594HVM-5.0/NOPB replacement. |
Compared with LM2594HVM-5.0/NOPB, LM2594MX-5.0/NOPB offers identical functionality at lower cost but sacrifices 20-V input headroom, while LMR36506RNXR delivers superior efficiency and integration at the expense of pinout compatibility and increased design complexity.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM2594HVM-5.0/NOPB?
The LM2594HVM-5.0/NOPB supports an absolute maximum input voltage of 60 V, confirmed in Section 7.1 Absolute Maximum Ratings of the official datasheet. This HV rating distinguishes it from the standard LM2594 (40 V max) and enables direct use with 48-V industrial buses. Operation above 40 V requires the HV variant; using LM2594MX-5.0/NOPB in such systems risks permanent damage. The device maintains full 0.5-A output capability across its entire 4.5–60 V operating range.
Does LM2594HVM-5.0/NOPB require external feedback resistors to set the output voltage?
No, LM2594HVM-5.0/NOPB does not require external feedback resistors. As a fixed 5-V output variant, its feedback node is internally connected to a precision 5-V reference, eliminating the need for external resistor dividers. Pin 4 (Feedback) is unused and must be left floating - grounding or connecting it externally will disrupt regulation. This simplifies layout, improves reliability, and ensures ±4% output accuracy across temperature and load without calibration.
Can LM2594HVM-5.0/NOPB be used in an inverting configuration to generate −5 V?
Yes, LM2594HVM-5.0/NOPB can be configured as an inverting regulator to produce −5 V, as documented in Figure 8-5 of the datasheet. This requires external diodes (D1, D3), an inductor, and careful grounding of the IC's ground pin to the negative output. The 60-V input rating allows safe operation with input-to-output differential voltages up to 60 V, making it suitable for generating −5 V from 24-V or 48-V sources. Startup current peaks near 0.8 A, so input capacitance must be sized accordingly.
What is the quiescent current of LM2594HVM-5.0/NOPB in shutdown mode?
In shutdown mode (ON/OFF pin held >2.0 V), LM2594HVM-5.0/NOPB draws 85 μA typical standby quiescent current, per Section 7.9 Electrical Characteristics. This value is measured at TJ = 25°C with VIN = 60 V and is guaranteed to remain ≤250 μA across the full −40°C to +125°C junction temperature range. This ultra-low shutdown current supports battery-powered systems requiring months of standby life without significant drain.
Is LM2594HVM-5.0/NOPB pin-compatible with other LM2594 variants?
Yes, LM2594HVM-5.0/NOPB is pin-compatible with all other LM2594xx variants in the SOIC-8 (D) package, including LM2594MX-5.0/NOPB, LM2594HVM-3.3/NOPB, and LM2594HVM-12/NOPB. Pin functions, spacing, thermal pad requirements, and PCB footprint are identical. However, the HV and standard versions differ in maximum input voltage rating (60 V vs. 40 V), and fixed-output variants share the same pinout but cannot be interchanged without verifying input voltage compliance.
