Product details
Overview
LM2597HVMX-5.0 from Texas Instruments is a monolithic 150 kHz step-down (buck) switching voltage regulator delivering a fixed 5.0 V output at up to 0.5 A, with input voltage support up to 60 V, ±4% output voltage tolerance over line and load, and integrated soft-start/shutdown control. It targets industrial power conversion where high input voltage tolerance and minimal external components are required.
For engineers reviewing the LM2597HVMX-5.0 datasheet, LM2597HVMX-5.0 pinout, LM2597HVMX-5.0 application, or LM2597HVMX-5.0 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 60 V max input rating, 0.5 A regulated output capability, 150 kHz fixed-frequency operation enabling compact magnetics, and built-in thermal shutdown and current limiting for robust system-level power design.
Technical Context
The LM2597HVMX-5.0 integrates a 0.5 A N-channel DMOS switch, 150 kHz oscillator, internal frequency compensation, and feedback error amplifier in a single IC. Its HV variant supports up to 60 V input, enabling direct regulation from 48 V telecom or automotive battery rails without pre-regulation.
It employs standard buck topology with external catch diode, inductor, and input/output capacitors. The bias supply (VBS) pin improves efficiency at high VIN by powering internal circuitry independently, reducing quiescent current dependency on input voltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0 V ±4% over full line/load/temperature range - ensures stable logic supply without external resistor network. |
| Max Input Voltage | 60 V - supports direct connection to 48 V systems and transient-tolerant industrial inputs. |
| Output Current | 0.5 A continuous - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and interface ICs in embedded systems. |
| Switching Frequency | 150 kHz fixed - enables use of low-cost, widely available 100–220 μH inductors and reduces EMI filtering complexity. |
| Quiescent Current | 140 μA typical in shutdown - minimizes standby power loss in battery-backed or energy-sensitive applications. |
| Efficiency | 82% at VIN = 12 V, IOUT = 0.5 A - balances thermal performance and board area vs. linear regulators in medium-power conversion. |
| Thermal Resistance | 150 °C/W (D package) - requires minimal copper pour for thermal management at full load in ambient ≤85 °C. |
Pinout & Package
LM2597HVMX-5.0 is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D) surface-mount package (Package Number D0008A), optimized for automated assembly and moderate power dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input Power Supply | Accepts 4.5 V to 60 V DC; requires local 47–68 μF low-ESR input capacitor for stability and ripple suppression. |
| OUT | Switch Node | Drives external catch diode and inductor; high dv/dt node requiring short PCB traces and ground shielding. |
| GND | Power & Signal Ground | Common return for input, output, and internal circuits; must be low-impedance plane adjacent to IC footprint. |
| FB | Feedback Input | Not used in fixed-output LM2597HVMX-5.0; internally connected to output divider - leave unconnected. |
| SD/SS | Shutdown/Soft-Start Control | Pulled low (≤0.6 V) disables regulator; open or ≥2 V enables with 1.6 μA soft-start current for controlled ramp-up. |
| FLAG | Error Flag Output | Open-drain active-low signal indicating output undervoltage (≤92% nominal); sinks 3 mA when asserted. |
| DELAY | Flag Delay Control | Adjusts flag response time via external capacitor; 1.25 V threshold sets delay timing for transient immunity. |
| VBS | Bias Supply Input | Provides dedicated 2–4.4 V supply for internal circuitry; improves efficiency and reduces IQ at high VIN. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 0.5 A DMOS Switch | Eliminates need for external MOSFET and gate driver, reducing BOM count and layout complexity. |
| 60 V Absolute Max Input Rating | Enables single-stage conversion from 48 V industrial buses without front-end buck or Zener clamping. |
| VBS Bias Supply Pin | Decouples internal logic supply from VIN, maintaining low 140 μA shutdown current even at 60 V input. |
| Out-of-Regulation FLAG with Adjustable Delay | Provides system-level fault signaling with programmable immunity to brief load transients via external capacitor. |
| Thermal Shutdown + Two-Stage Current Limit | Protects against sustained overload and short-circuit conditions without external sensing components. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2597MX-5.0 | Lower 40 V max input rating; identical pinout, features, and 5 V output spec. | Suitable only for ≤36 V systems; not rated for 48 V telecom or industrial bus inputs. | Select when input never exceeds 40 V and cost sensitivity outweighs HV margin. |
| LM2678-5.0 | Higher 5 A output current, 260 kHz switching, different pinout, no VBS or FLAG pins. | Requires redesign of PCB layout and external compensation; better for high-current loads but lacks fault signaling. | Choose for >0.5 A loads or higher efficiency at 12 V input; avoid if FLAG monitoring or 60 V operation is required. |
Compared with LM2597MX-5.0, the LM2597HVMX-5.0 adds 20 V input headroom critical for 48 V systems; versus LM2678-5.0, it trades current capacity for integrated fault reporting and simpler layout-making it optimal for space-constrained, fault-aware 0.5 A applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LM2597HVMX-5.0?
The LM2597HVMX-5.0 has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 60 V, with specified operating range from 4.5 V to 60 V. This HV rating distinguishes it from the standard LM2597MX-5.0 (40 V max) and enables direct regulation from 48 V systems. Exceeding 60 V risks permanent damage per TI's Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Does the LM2597HVMX-5.0 require external feedback resistors to set the output voltage?
No. The LM2597HVMX-5.0 is a fixed-output variant with internal resistor divider configured for 5.0 V. The FB pin is not connected externally and must remain unpopulated. Using external resistors would disrupt regulation and is incompatible with this part number - only the adjustable LM2597HVMX-ADJ version supports external feedback networks.
How does the VBS pin improve efficiency in the LM2597HVMX-5.0?
The VBS pin supplies dedicated bias power to internal circuitry, decoupling it from the high VIN rail. At 60 V input, this reduces operating quiescent current from ~5 mA (without VBS) to ~2 mA, directly improving light-load efficiency. TI specifies VBS operates from 2 V to 4.4 V, so a simple resistive divider from VIN or local LDO is recommended for optimal performance.
Can the FLAG pin of the LM2597HVMX-5.0 be used without connecting the DELAY capacitor?
Yes. The FLAG pin functions as an open-drain error indicator without the DELAY capacitor, asserting low when output drops below 92% of nominal (i.e., <4.6 V). Adding a capacitor to DELAY introduces a programmable delay (via RC time constant) to prevent false triggering during brief load transients - but omission yields immediate fault response, which is valid for applications requiring fastest possible undervoltage detection.
What package type is used for the LM2597HVMX-5.0, and is it RoHS compliant?
The LM2597HVMX-5.0 uses an 8-pin SOIC (D) surface-mount package (TI Package Number D0008A), with 1.27 mm lead pitch and standard JEDEC MO-002AC dimensions. Per TI's official product folder and packaging documentation, this device is RoHS compliant and halogen-free, meeting IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL-3) for reflow compatibility.
