Product details
Overview
LM2594HVM-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 0.5-A output current with ±4% output voltage accuracy, supports 4.5 V to 60 V input range, features 150-kHz fixed-frequency operation, and provides adjustable output from 1.2 V to 37 V (57 V for HV version) in an 8-pin SOIC package.
For engineers reviewing the LM2594HVM-ADJ/NOPB datasheet, LM2594HVM-ADJ/NOPB pinout, LM2594HVM-ADJ/NOPB application, or LM2594HVM-ADJ/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include input voltage headroom up to 60 V, ON/OFF logic control threshold at 1.3 V, feedback bias current of 10–50 nA, thermal shutdown protection, and compatibility with standard off-the-shelf inductors.
Technical Context
The LM2594HVM-ADJ/NOPB integrates a PWM controller, power switch, oscillator, and error amplifier in a single monolithic IC. Its internal architecture uses a fixed-frequency, current-mode control scheme with two-stage frequency-reducing current limiting and thermal shutdown for fault protection.
It operates in continuous or discontinuous conduction mode depending on load and inductor selection, supports TTL-compatible shutdown via the ON/OFF pin (1.3 V threshold), and regulates output by sensing feedback voltage at the FB pin referenced to an internal 1.23 V bandgap reference.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 60 V - supports wide-range industrial and automotive battery inputs without external pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 0.5 A - ensures stable regulation under full-load conditions with adequate thermal margin in SOIC package. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.23 V ±2.7% - sets output voltage via external resistor divider; enables precise programmability from 1.2 V to 37 V. |
| Switching Frequency | 150 kHz ±15% - fixed internal oscillator enables predictable EMI filtering and simplifies inductor selection. |
| Quiescent Current | 140–250 μA - low standby consumption extends battery life in always-on systems. |
| Standby Current | 85 μA - achieved when ON/OFF pin is pulled above 1.3 V, minimizing system-level power draw during sleep. |
| Current Limit | 0.65–1.3 A peak - two-stage limiting reduces switching frequency under overload, preventing thermal runaway. |
Pinout & Package
LM2594HVM-ADJ/NOPB is housed in an 8-pin surface-mount SOIC package (D package), 4.90 mm × 3.91 mm body size, with exposed pad not present and no thermal pad. Pin 1–3 are NC (no internal connection but soldered for mechanical stability); pins 4–8 define functional interface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3 | No Connection | Internally unconnected; must be soldered to PCB for mechanical integrity and heat transfer. |
| 4 | Feedback Input | Senses output voltage via resistor divider; regulates output by comparing to 1.23 V internal reference. |
| 5 | ON/OFF Control | Logic-level shutdown: ≤1.3 V = ON, ≥1.3 V = OFF; draws only 5–15 μA in either state. |
| 6 | Ground | Power and signal reference return path; requires low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 7 | +VIN Supply | Primary input power rail; requires local 68-μF tantalum bypass capacitor to handle high di/dt switching currents. |
| 8 | Switch Output | Internal NPN switch collector; connects to external catch diode and inductor; swings between VIN−VSAT and −0.5 V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide Input Range (4.5–60 V) | Enables direct operation from 12 V, 24 V, and 48 V industrial buses without pre-regulators. |
| Adjustable Output (1.2–37 V) | Supports custom rail generation across diverse subsystems using only two external resistors. |
| TTL-Compatible Shutdown | Allows microcontroller or system-level logic to enable/disable regulation with minimal external circuitry. |
| Thermal & Current Protection | Prevents damage during short-circuit or overtemperature events without requiring external monitoring circuits. |
| Fixed-Frequency 150-kHz Operation | Simplifies EMI filter design and ensures consistent inductor sizing across designs. |

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-ADJ/NOPB | Same architecture but rated for 40 V max input; lacks HV process optimization for >45 V operation. | Suitable for 5–36 V input systems only; not recommended where 60 V transients occur. | Select LM2594HVM-ADJ/NOPB when input may exceed 45 V; use LM2594MX-ADJ/NOPB for lower-cost 36 V-rated designs. |
| LMR36506RNXR | Synchronous buck with 3–65 V input, 0.6 A output, integrated FETs, and 2.1 MHz switching. | Delivers higher efficiency (>90%) and smaller solution size but requires more complex layout and compensation. | Choose LMR36506RNXR for new designs prioritizing efficiency and footprint; retain LM2594HVM-ADJ/NOPB for legacy compatibility and simplicity. |
Compared with LM2594MX-ADJ/NOPB, LM2594HVM-ADJ/NOPB adds 20 V input headroom and enhanced transient robustness; versus LMR36506RNXR, it trades higher efficiency and frequency for simpler external component count and proven reliability in long-lifecycle industrial deployments.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM2594HVM-ADJ/NOPB?
The LM2594HVM-ADJ/NOPB has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 60 V, with recommended operating range from 4.5 V to 60 V. This HV rating distinguishes it from the standard LM2594 series (40 V max) and enables use in 48 V industrial buses and automotive load-dump scenarios. The device sustains this rating through optimized high-voltage process technology and internal protection circuitry.
How does the ON/OFF pin function on LM2594HVM-ADJ/NOPB?
The ON/OFF pin on LM2594HVM-ADJ/NOPB provides logic-level shutdown control: pulling the pin below 1.3 V (typical) enables regulation, while pulling it above 1.3 V disables switching and reduces total supply current to 85 μA. The pin accepts voltages up to 25 V and draws only 5–15 μA, making it compatible with microcontroller GPIOs or simple resistor-divider networks without additional level-shifting.
What output voltage range can be programmed with LM2594HVM-ADJ/NOPB?
The LM2594HVM-ADJ/NOPB supports an adjustable output voltage range of 1.2 V to 37 V under normal operation, and up to 57 V in high-voltage configurations. This is achieved using a resistor divider from output to FB pin and ground, referencing the internal 1.23 V bandgap. Output accuracy remains within ±4% across line, load, and temperature variations per datasheet specifications.
Does LM2594HVM-ADJ/NOPB require an external catch diode?
Yes, LM2594HVM-ADJ/NOPB requires an external catch diode connected from the SW (pin 8) to output. As a nonsynchronous buck converter, it relies on this diode to provide a current path during the switch-off phase. TI recommends Schottky diodes for low-VIN applications due to lower forward voltage, and fast-recovery diodes for higher input voltages to minimize reverse recovery losses.
What thermal performance can be expected from LM2594HVM-ADJ/NOPB in SOIC package?
In its 8-pin SOIC (D) package, LM2594HVM-ADJ/NOPB has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 150°C/W on a standard 4-layer JEDEC board. At 0.5 A output and 12 V input, typical power dissipation is ~0.55 W, resulting in ~83°C junction rise above ambient. Derating is required above 85°C ambient; thermal shutdown activates at 150°C junction temperature to prevent permanent damage.
