Product details
Overview
LM2594HVMX-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 up to 0.5 A output current, supports 4.5 V to 60 V input range, provides adjustable 1.2 V to 37 V output (±4% tolerance), and operates at a fixed 150-kHz switching frequency with TTL-compatible ON/OFF control.
For engineers reviewing the LM2594HVMX-ADJ/NOPB datasheet, LM2594HVMX-ADJ/NOPB pinout, LM2594HVMX-ADJ/NOPB application, or LM2594HVMX-ADJ/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include HV input capability, thermal shutdown protection, low 85 μA standby current, feedback bias current under 50 nA, and SOIC-8 surface-mount packaging for board space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The LM2594HVMX-ADJ/NOPB integrates a PWM controller, power switch, oscillator, and internal compensation in a monolithic buck topology. Its feedback pin senses output voltage via external resistor divider, enabling precise regulation across line and load variations. The device uses a two-stage current-limiting scheme and thermal shutdown for fault protection.
It operates in continuous conduction mode by default but supports discontinuous mode at light loads. The ON/OFF pin accepts logic-level signals (1.3 V threshold) for external enable/disable control, and its saturation voltage remains ≤1.2 V at 0.5 A, minimizing conduction loss in high-VIN applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 60 V - supports wide-range industrial rails including 24 V, 36 V, and 48 V systems without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 0.5 A - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and analog circuitry in embedded systems. |
| Switching Frequency | 150 kHz ±15% - enables use of standard off-the-shelf inductors and simplifies EMI filtering design. |
| Feedback Voltage | 1.23 V (typical), ±4% over temp - sets output accuracy and determines resistor-divider ratio for custom VOUT. |
| Quiescent Current | 140–250 μA - ensures low power draw during operation, critical for battery-backed or always-on systems. |
| Standby Current | 85 μA - enables ultra-low-power shutdown state when ON/OFF pin is pulled high. |
| Saturation Voltage | ≤1.2 V at 0.5 A - limits conduction loss and junction temperature rise under full load at high VIN. |
Pinout & Package
LM2594HVMX-ADJ/NOPB is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D package), 4.90 mm × 3.91 mm body size, with exposed pad not present. Thermal resistance RθJA = 150°C/W on JEDEC 4-layer board.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3 | No Connection | Internally unconnected; must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal relief only. |
| 4 | Feedback Input | High-impedance node sensing output voltage via external resistor divider; bias current <50 nA minimizes divider error. |
| 5 | ON/OFF Control | TTL-compatible enable pin: <1.3 V = ON, >1.3 V = OFF; draws <15 μA in shutdown. |
| 6 | Ground | Power and signal reference return path; connects to system GND and input/output capacitor grounds. |
| 7 | +VIN | Main power input; requires local 68 μF tantalum or equivalent low-ESR capacitor for transient suppression. |
| 8 | Output Switch | Drains internal NPN switch; connects to catch diode anode and inductor; voltage swings between (VIN − VSAT) and ≈−0.5 V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 150-kHz oscillator | Eliminates need for external timing components and ensures predictable EMI profile for compliance testing. |
| Internal frequency compensation | Reduces external component count to just four: input cap, output cap, inductor, and feedback divider - no loop compensation required. |
| Thermal shutdown + current limit | Two-stage current limiting and overtemperature cutoff prevent damage during overload, short-circuit, or poor heatsinking conditions. |
| Adjustable output (1.2–37 V) | Supports diverse system rail requirements using only two external resistors - avoids stocking multiple fixed-output variants. |
| TTL shutdown with 85 μA ISTBY | Enables clean power sequencing and low-power sleep modes in portable or energy-sensitive applications. |

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 | Lower max input voltage (40 V vs. 60 V); identical pinout, feedback, and functional behavior. | Not suitable for 48 V+ systems or automotive load-dump scenarios requiring 60 V rating. | Select LM2594MX-ADJ/NOPB only if input never exceeds 40 V and cost is primary constraint. |
| LMR36506RNXR | Synchronous buck, 3–65 V input, 0.6 A, 2.1 MHz switching, integrated inductor option available. | Higher efficiency (>90%), smaller solution size, but requires different layout and control loop tuning. | Choose LMR36506RNXR for new designs prioritizing efficiency, size, and modern feature set - not drop-in replacement. |
Compared with LM2594HVMX-ADJ/NOPB, LM2594MX-ADJ/NOPB offers identical functionality at lower voltage stress, while LMR36506RNXR delivers higher performance with trade-offs in design complexity and BOM compatibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM2594HVMX-ADJ/NOPB?
The LM2594HVMX-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 (40 V max) and makes it suitable for 48 V industrial buses and automotive load-dump conditions. Exceeding 60 V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Can LM2594HVMX-ADJ/NOPB be used in an inverting (positive-to-negative) configuration?
Yes, LM2594HVMX-ADJ/NOPB supports inverting regulator topologies per TI's Figure 8-5. In this mode, the ground pin floats at the negative output voltage, and the feedback pin is referenced to system ground. The device regulates inverted outputs such as −5 V or −12 V, though maximum input-to-output voltage differential must remain ≤60 V, and startup current demands are higher than in buck mode.
What is the feedback pin bias current specification for LM2594HVMX-ADJ/NOPB?
The feedback pin bias current for LM2594HVMX-ADJ/NOPB is specified as 10–50 nA (typical 50 nA) at 25°C, and up to 100 nA over full temperature range. This low bias current ensures minimal error in resistor-divider-based output programming, allowing use of high-value resistors to reduce divider power loss without compromising regulation accuracy.
Does LM2594HVMX-ADJ/NOPB require external compensation components?
No, LM2594HVMX-ADJ/NOPB features internal frequency compensation and requires no external compensation network. Its architecture is optimized for stability with standard external components: one input capacitor, one output capacitor, one power inductor, and two feedback resistors. This simplifies design and eliminates loop-tuning effort typical of more complex controllers.
What package type and thermal characteristics apply to LM2594HVMX-ADJ/NOPB?
LM2594HVMX-ADJ/NOPB is supplied in an 8-pin SOIC (D package) with 4.90 mm × 3.91 mm body size and RθJA = 150°C/W on a JEDEC-standard 4-layer board. It does not include an exposed thermal pad. For thermal management, TI recommends soldering pins 1–3 (NC) to ground plane to improve heat conduction, as these pins have no internal connection but aid in PCB-level thermal dissipation.
