Product details
Overview
LM2595S-3.3/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a monolithic 150-kHz nonsynchronous step-down DC-DC converter delivering up to 1 A output current with fixed 3.3-V output, ±4% output voltage tolerance over line and load, 4.5–40 V input range, and integrated thermal shutdown/current-limit protection. It serves as a primary buck regulator in industrial power supplies and embedded system rails.
For engineers reviewing the LM2595S-3.3/NOPB datasheet, LM2595S-3.3/NOPB pinout, LM2595S-3.3/NOPB application, or LM2595S-3.3/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include output accuracy at full load, thermal performance in TO-263 without heatsink, standby current under TTL shutdown, and compatibility with standard off-the-shelf inductors.
Technical Context
The LM2595S-3.3/NOPB integrates a PWM controller, power switch, and internal frequency compensation in a single chip. Its fixed 150-kHz oscillator enables compact external filter design using standard inductors, while the nonsynchronous architecture uses an external catch diode for cost-effective 1-A conversion.
Operation relies on feedback from the FB pin sensing output voltage via internal 1.23-V reference; regulation error triggers duty-cycle adjustment of the internal NPN switch. Shutdown is implemented via TTL-compatible ON/OFF pin (1.3-V threshold), reducing quiescent current to 85 μA in standby mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3 V ±4% (3.168–3.432 V) over full line/load/temperature range - ensures stable logic rail compliance. |
| Max Output Current | 1 A DC - supports microcontroller cores, FPGAs, and peripheral ICs without external current boosting. |
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 40 V - accommodates 5-V, 12-V, 24-V, and unregulated battery or adapter inputs. |
| Switching Frequency | 150 kHz (±15%) - enables use of low-cost, high-saturation-current inductors with minimal EMI filtering. |
| Efficiency | 78% at VIN = 12 V, IOUT = 1 A - reduces thermal load vs. linear regulators in medium-power applications. |
| Standby Current | 85 μA typical at shutdown - extends battery life in always-on systems with controlled power sequencing. |
| Thermal Protection | Internal junction temperature cutoff at 150°C - prevents damage during overload or poor PCB heat sinking. |
Pinout & Package
LM2595S-3.3/NOPB is supplied in the TO-263-5 (KTT) surface-mount package (10.16 mm × 8.42 mm body), optimized for thermal dissipation on PCB copper areas ≥1 in² without heatsink under ≤50°C ambient.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Output | Switch node | Drives external catch diode and inductor; voltage swings between (VIN − VSAT) and ≈−0.5 V - requires minimal PCB copper area to limit EMI coupling. |
| 2 - +VIN | Power input | Accepts 4.5–40 V DC; requires local low-ESR bypass capacitor to supply pulsed switch current and suppress transients. |
| 3 - Ground | Reference return | Common return for internal circuitry, feedback network, and external components - must connect to low-impedance ground plane. |
| 4 - Feedback | Voltage sense input | Monitors regulated output via internal 1.23-V reference; open for fixed 3.3-V version - no external resistor divider needed. |
| 5 - ON/OFF | Shutdown control | TTL-compatible enable pin; <1.3 V = ON, >1.3 V = OFF - allows system-level power sequencing and low-power sleep modes. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 3.3-V output | Eliminates external feedback resistors - simplifies layout and improves production yield for 3.3-V logic rails. |
| 150-kHz fixed-frequency operation | Enables predictable EMI spectrum and use of low-cost, widely available 68–100-μH power inductors. |
| TTL shutdown capability | Reduces total input current to 85 μA - supports battery-backed real-time clocks and low-power wake-up circuits. |
| Thermal shutdown + current limiting | Two-stage protection: foldback current limit (1.2–2.4 A peak) and 150°C junction cutoff - ensures robustness in transient overloads. |
| Requires only 4 external components | Inductor, catch diode, input capacitor, output capacitor - minimizes BOM count and design validation effort. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM2595S-3.3/NOPB?
The absolute maximum input voltage for LM2595S-3.3/NOPB is 45 V, but the recommended operating range is 4.5 V to 40 V. Operation above 40 V risks exceeding internal transistor breakdown limits and may trigger thermal shutdown before catastrophic failure. For automotive load-dump conditions, external clamping is advised if input transients exceed 40 V.
Does LM2595S-3.3/NOPB require an external feedback resistor network?
No, LM2595S-3.3/NOPB does not require external feedback resistors because it is the fixed-output 3.3-V version. The feedback pin (Pin 4) is internally connected to the 1.23-V reference and output divider - leaving it unconnected is correct. Adding external resistors would disrupt regulation and is not supported.
Can LM2595S-3.3/NOPB operate without a heatsink in a TO-263 package?
Yes, LM2595S-3.3/NOPB in the TO-263-5 package typically operates without a heatsink at full 1-A load when ambient temperature remains below 50°C and PCB copper area is ≥1 in². Thermal resistance drops to 30°C/W with 2.5 in² of 1-oz copper, enabling safe junction temperatures under most industrial conditions.
What is the shutdown current consumption of LM2595S-3.3/NOPB?
The standby quiescent current of LM2595S-3.3/NOPB is 85 μA typical (up to 250 μA over temperature) when the ON/OFF pin is pulled above 1.3 V. This low current enables extended battery life in sleep-mode applications such as remote sensors and portable instrumentation where the LM2595S-3.3/NOPB powers auxiliary circuitry only during active periods.
Is LM2595S-3.3/NOPB RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, LM2595S-3.3/NOPB is RoHS compliant and lead-free, as indicated by the "/NOPB" suffix per Texas Instruments' packaging nomenclature. It meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 and is qualified for Pb-free reflow soldering profiles up to 260°C peak temperature.
