Product details
Overview
LM2595TVADJG from onsemi is a monolithic step-down switching regulator (buck converter) with 1.0 A output current capability, 150 kHz fixed-frequency internal oscillator, adjustable output voltage range of 1.23 V to 37 V, and integrated thermal shutdown and cycle-by-cycle current limiting. It is used in high-efficiency DC-DC conversion for industrial power supplies and embedded systems requiring compact, self-compensated regulation.
For engineers reviewing the LM2595TVADJG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include its D2PAK package thermal performance, feedback-pin bias current (25–200 nA), 4% output voltage tolerance, 1.0 V typical saturation voltage at 1.0 A, and TTL-compatible ON/OFF control with 1.6 V threshold.
Technical Context
The LM2595TVADJG implements a voltage-mode controlled buck topology with an internal NPN switch, fixed 150 kHz oscillator, and internal loop compensation-eliminating external compensation components. Its feedback architecture uses a precision 1.23 V reference and accepts resistor-divider programming for output voltages up to 37 V.
Protection logic includes cycle-by-cycle current limiting (1.15–2.6 A peak), thermal shutdown at 150 °C junction temperature, and low-power standby mode (50 µA typical). The ON/OFF pin enables logic-level shutdown with 1.6 V threshold and sub-5 µA leakage in active state.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | Guaranteed 1.0 A continuous load current - supports mid-power applications without external current boosting. |
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 40 V - compatible with 5 V, 12 V, 24 V, and 36 V industrial bus rails. |
| Switching Frequency | 150 kHz (±15%) - enables use of standard, cost-effective 68 µH inductors and reduces EMI filtering burden vs. lower-frequency alternatives. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.23 V ±4% - sets output voltage via external R1/R2 divider; enables precise programmability from 1.23 V to 37 V. |
| Saturation Voltage | 1.0 V typical at 1.0 A - directly impacts conduction loss and minimum dropout; limits usable input-output differential. |
| Standby Current | 50 µA typical at 5 V ON/OFF pin - enables ultra-low quiescent power during system sleep modes. |
| Thermal Resistance | RθJC = 5.0 °C/W - requires heatsink attachment to exposed tab (Pin 3) for sustained 1 A operation above ambient ~60 °C. |
Pinout & Package
D2PAK (TO-263) package with exposed thermal pad connected internally to Pin 3 (GND); heatsink surface must be soldered to PCB copper area for thermal management.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Output) | Emitter of internal NPN switch | Carries high di/dt switching current; PCB trace must be short and wide to minimize parasitic inductance and EMI. |
| 2 (Vin) | Positive input supply | Requires low-ESR input capacitor (e.g., 220 µF/50 V) placed within 5 mm to suppress transients and supply peak switch current. |
| 3 (GND) | Circuit ground reference | Connected to exposed heatsink tab; serves as primary return path for switch, feedback, and ON/OFF signals - must be single-point grounded. |
| 4 (Feedback) | Inverting input of error amplifier | High-impedance node (25–200 nA bias); sensitive to noise - resistors R1/R2 must be placed adjacent to IC with shielded routing. |
| 5 (ON/OFF) | Logic-enable control input | TTL-compatible shutdown: <1.6 V = ON, >2.2 V = OFF; draws <30 µA in OFF state - suitable for microcontroller GPIO control. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internal loop compensation | Eliminates need for external compensation network - reduces BOM count and layout sensitivity in buck designs. |
| Adjustable output (1.23–37 V) | Single IC supports wide output range via two-resistor divider - avoids stocking multiple fixed-output variants. |
| Thermal shutdown + current limit | Self-protecting under overload, short-circuit, or inadequate heatsinking - prevents catastrophic failure without external circuitry. |
| TTL shutdown capability | Enables system-level power sequencing and low-power sleep states using standard logic-level signals. |
| Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 | Zero bake requirement before reflow - simplifies manufacturing and eliminates moisture-related popcorning risk. |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply | Battery Charger Front-End |

Use Value: Same IC and layout reused for inverted outputs - no redesign needed; 1.23 V reference ensures stable negative rail accuracy. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2596-ADJ | Higher 3.0 A output current, 150 kHz frequency, but larger D2PAK-5 package and higher quiescent current (10 mA vs. 50 µA). | Preferred where higher output current or tighter line regulation is required; less suitable for low-quiescent battery-powered systems. | Select LM2596-ADJ only when >1.0 A load or improved transient response is mandatory. |
| MP1584EN-LF-Z | 3 A output, 1.5 MHz switching, smaller SOIC-8 package, but requires external compensation and lacks integrated thermal shutdown latch. | Better suited for space-constrained, high-density layouts; demands careful loop stability design and external fault protection. | Choose MP1584EN-LF-Z when board area is critical and design team has SMPS stability expertise. |
Compared with LM2595TVADJG, LM2596-ADJ delivers higher current but sacrifices standby efficiency, while MP1584EN-LF-Z offers miniaturization and speed at the cost of design complexity and reduced built-in protection - making LM2595TVADJG optimal for robust, medium-power, ease-of-use applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LM2595TVADJG?
The LM2595TVADJG has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 45 V, with guaranteed operation across 4.5 V to 40 V. Exceeding 45 V risks permanent damage. For reliable 40 V operation, ensure input transient suppression (e.g., TVS diode) and verify derating per thermal conditions - the device's 70 °C/W junction-to-ambient resistance requires heatsinking above ~60 °C ambient at full load.
How do I calculate the output voltage for the LM2595TVADJG?
The LM2595TVADJG output voltage is set by a resistor divider on the Feedback pin: VOUT = 1.23 V × (1 + R2/R1). R1 should be 1.0 kΩ to 5.0 kΩ (1% metal film recommended); for example, R1 = 1.0 kΩ and R2 = 3.0 kΩ yields 5.0 V. The 1.23 V reference has ±4% tolerance, so final output accuracy depends on resistor tolerance and temperature drift - use 0.1% resistors for <1% total error.
Does the LM2595TVADJG require an external compensation network?
No, the LM2595TVADJG features internal loop compensation - no external capacitors or resistors are needed for stability. This simplifies design and improves immunity to layout variations. However, proper PCB layout remains critical: keep feedback traces short and away from noisy nodes, place input/output capacitors close to pins, and connect the exposed thermal pad (Pin 3) solidly to GND plane to maintain thermal and electrical integrity.
What is the purpose of the ON/OFF pin on the LM2595TVADJG?
Pin 5 (ON/OFF) enables logic-level shutdown of the LM2595TVADJG: applying <1.6 V (or leaving open) keeps the regulator active; applying >2.2 V shuts it down, reducing total input current to ~50 µA. This pin is TTL-compatible and draws <30 µA in OFF state - ideal for microcontroller GPIO control, system power sequencing, or battery-saving sleep modes without external level-shifting.
Can the LM2595TVADJG be used in a negative-output configuration?
Yes, the LM2595TVADJG can be configured as a positive-to-negative buck-boost converter by grounding the Output pin and taking the regulated output from the Feedback and GND nodes - per Figure 22 in the official datasheet. This requires reversing input/output capacitor polarity and selecting appropriate diode/inductor ratings. Output voltage magnitude remains adjustable via R1/R2, but regulation accuracy and ripple may differ from standard buck mode due to altered loop dynamics.
