Product details
Overview
LM26001BMHX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 1.5A synchronous buck switching regulator with high-efficiency sleep mode, 4.0–18V input range, adjustable 150–500 kHz switching frequency, and integrated N-channel MOSFET switch. It delivers stable 3.3V output in automotive telematics and battery-powered instrumentation where low quiescent current (<40 µA in sleep mode) and line transient resilience (down to 3.0V) are critical.
For engineers reviewing the LM26001BMHX/NOPB datasheet, LM26001BMHX/NOPB pinout, LM26001BMHX/NOPB application, or LM26001BMHX/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include sleep-mode IQ, FPWM disable control, PGOOD flag timing, thermal shutdown at 160°C, and HTSSOP-16 exposed-pad package layout compatibility.
Technical Context
The LM26001BMHX/NOPB implements current-mode PWM control with cycle-by-cycle peak current limiting (1.8–3.25 A), internal error amplifier (670 µmho transconductance), and adaptive off-pulse skipping for low-VIN operation. Its feedback loop uses a 1.234 V ±2.5% reference with 0.64–1.27 V COMP pin voltage range.
Sleep mode activates when FB rises ≥1% above nominal and COMP drops to ~0.6 V, reducing IQ to <40 µA; wake-up occurs at 92% FB threshold with 7% hysteresis. Synchronization supports ±20% frequency deviation from nominal, and FPWM forces continuous PWM operation regardless of load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 1.5 A continuous; supports automotive infotainment loads without external current boosting |
| Input Voltage Range | 4.0 V to 18 V continuous; operates down to 3.0 V during transients-enables robustness in 12 V vehicle systems |
| Quiescent Current | 38 µA typical in sleep mode (VBIAS = 5 V); enables >1-year battery life in always-on gateway standby |
| Switching Frequency | 150–500 kHz adjustable via single resistor; avoids AM radio band and allows optimized EMI/efficiency trade-off |
| Reference Accuracy | ±2.0% over −40°C to +125°C; ensures stable 3.3 V rail tolerance across automotive temperature range |
| Power Good Threshold | 92% of nominal VOUT rising edge, 7% hysteresis; provides clean system reset signaling without external comparators |
| Thermal Shutdown | 160°C junction limit with automatic recovery; protects against sustained overload in sealed enclosures |
Pinout & Package
LM26001BMHX/NOPB is housed in a 16-pin HTSSOP package (PWP0016A) with exposed thermal pad (EP) that must be soldered to GND for thermal performance and EMI reduction. Pin pitch is 0.65 mm; body dimensions are 5.0 × 4.4 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (1,2) | Primary power input | Dual pins reduce trace resistance and improve current sharing for high-peak-load automotive applications |
| PGOOD (3) | Open-drain status flag | Signals valid regulation after soft-start; sinks 500 µA at 64 Ω RON-directly drives MCU GPIO or reset IC |
| EN (4) | Enable control | Analog threshold (0.8–1.4 V) with 120 mV hysteresis; supports direct connection to microcontroller I/O or pull-up to VIN |
| SS (5) | Soft-start timing | 2.2 µA internal current source charges external capacitor; sets controlled VOUT ramp to prevent inrush and overshoot |
| COMP (6) | Loop compensation node | Connects to RC network for Type II/III compensation; 0.64–1.27 V operating range ensures stability across load steps |
| FB (7) | Feedback sensing | Monitors resistor divider output; 1.234 V reference enables precise 3.3 V, 5 V, or custom VOUT configurations |
| GND (8) | Power and signal ground | Common return for VIN, SW, and analog circuitry; ties to EP for lowest thermal resistance (θJA = 38°C/W) |
| FREQ (9) | Frequency setting | Resistor-to-GND sets fSW; empirical formula RFREQ = 6.25×10¹⁰ × fSW−1.042 enables accurate 330 kHz design |
| FPWM (10) | Sleep mode disable | Logic-high (>1.2 V) forces continuous PWM; eliminates light-load frequency variation in noise-sensitive audio subsystems |
| SYNC (11) | External clock input | Accepts 1.2 V peak square wave; synchronizes to master clock to eliminate beat frequencies in multi-rail systems |
| VBIAS (12) | Bias supply bypass | Connect to ≥3 V external rail (e.g., VOUT) to reduce VIN current and improve full-load efficiency by ~2% |
| VDD (13) | Internal LDO output | 5.95 V regulated supply; powers gate driver and logic; requires ≥1.0 µF ceramic bypass for stability |
| BOOT (14) | High-side gate drive | Connects 0.1 µF ceramic to SW; generates floating voltage for N-FET gate-no external bootstrap diode needed |
| SW (15,16) | Switch node | Dual-source pins handle 1.5 A peak current; connects to inductor and catch diode/COUT-critical for EMI layout |
| EP | Thermal pad | Mandatory GND connection; accounts for >50% of total heat dissipation-reduces junction temp by up to 25°C |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for continuous operation of the LM26001BMHX/NOPB?
The LM26001BMHX/NOPB requires a minimum of 4.0 V for continuous operation within specification. Although it can withstand input transients as low as 3.0 V, operation below 4.0 V increases RDS(ON) and power dissipation due to reduced gate drive voltage from VDD. For reliable long-term use, maintain VIN ≥ 4.0 V except during brief line dips.
How does the sleep mode function in the LM26001BMHX/NOPB, and what triggers wake-up?
Sleep mode in the LM26001BMHX/NOPB activates when FB rises ≥1% above nominal and COMP falls to ~0.6 V, reducing IQ to <40 µA. Wake-up occurs when FB drops to 92% of nominal (measured at FB pin), with 7% hysteresis preventing oscillation. This 1% window limits output ripple to ~1% of VOUT, preserving signal integrity in sensitive analog circuits.
Can the LM26001BMHX/NOPB be synchronized to an external clock, and what are the synchronization limits?
Yes, the LM26001BMHX/NOPB supports external synchronization via the SYNC pin. It accepts a 1.2 V peak square wave and adjusts operating frequency from −20% to +30% of the nominal value set by the FREQ resistor. The SYNC pin must be pulled low when unused, and the FREQ resistor remains mandatory to define the base frequency-even during sync operation.
What is the purpose of the VBIAS pin on the LM26001BMHX/NOPB, and how should it be used?
The VBIAS pin on the LM26001BMHX/NOPB bypasses the internal VDD LDO when connected to an external ≥3 V supply (e.g., VOUT or auxiliary rail), reducing VIN current and improving full-load efficiency by ~2%. If unused, tie VBIAS to GND. Automatic switchover occurs if VBIAS drops below 2.9 V, ensuring seamless fallback to internal regulation.
Does the LM26001BMHX/NOPB include over-current protection, and how does it behave during a short circuit?
Yes, the LM26001BMHX/NOPB includes cycle-by-cycle peak current limiting (1.8–3.25 A) and short-circuit frequency foldback. During output short, FB falls below 0.87 V, triggering foldback that reduces switching frequency to ≥71 kHz. This lowers average switch current and mitigates thermal stress-critical for sustaining fault conditions without damage.
