Product details
Overview
LM3402HVMM/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a monolithic 0.5-A constant-current buck regulator with integrated 735-mA N-channel MOSFET, designed for driving high-power LED arrays in automotive and industrial lighting. It operates from 6 V to 75 V input, delivers precise 200-mV current-sense threshold regulation, supports PWM dimming via TTL-compatible DIM pin, and features hysteretic controlled-on-time (COT) architecture eliminating loop compensation.
For engineers reviewing the LM3402HVMM/NOPB datasheet, LM3402HVMM/NOPB pinout, LM3402HVMM/NOPB application, or LM3402HVMM/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include its 75-V max input rating, 300-ns minimum off-time limiting VO(MAX), thermal shutdown at 165°C, bootstrap-driven high-side switch, and compatibility with ceramic-output or capacitor-less LED configurations.
Technical Context
The LM3402HVMM/NOPB implements a controlled-on-time (COT) buck topology combining hysteretic current-mode control with a voltage-dependent one-shot timer. Its CS pin compares sensed voltage across RSNS against a 200-mV reference to trigger switching, while RON sets tON inversely proportional to VIN per tON = 1.34×10⁻¹⁰ × RON/VIN.
It integrates a 7-V internal linear regulator (VCC) with UVLO at 5.25 V, a floating gate driver powered by BOOT-SW bootstrap circuitry, cycle-by-cycle current limiting at 735 mA (typ), and dedicated overvoltage/overcurrent protection at 300 mV on CS - enabling open-LED fault tolerance without external circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 6 V to 75 V - supports wide-input automotive battery systems and industrial DC rails without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 500 mA over temperature - stable LED drive current despite ambient or junction temperature variation up to 125°C. |
| CS Threshold | 200 mV ±6 mV - enables accurate current setting with low-value, high-precision sense resistors minimizing power loss. |
| Current Limit | 735 mA typical - provides robust short-circuit and overtemperature hiccup-mode protection without external sensing. |
| Switch RDS(on) | 0.7 Ω to 1.5 Ω - low conduction loss enables high efficiency in compact thermally constrained LED modules. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 165°C with 25°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Min OFF-time | 300 ns - defines maximum duty cycle and thus maximum output voltage VO(MAX) = VIN × tON/(tON + 300 ns). |
Pinout & Package
LM3402HVMM/NOPB is housed in an 8-pin VSSOP (DGK) package measuring 3.00 mm × 3.00 mm with exposed thermal pad (DAP) for enhanced thermal performance. The DAP must be soldered to PCB ground plane using 4–6 thermal vias.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW | Switch node | Connects to inductor and Schottky diode cathode; carries high di/dt switching current and requires tight layout routing. |
| BOOT | Bootstrap supply | Drives high-side MOSFET gate; requires 10-nF ceramic capacitor between BOOT and SW for proper floating bias generation. |
| DIM | PWM dimming input | TTL-compatible logic input (VIH ≥2.2 V, VIL ≤0.8 V); enables fast LED on/off control without affecting VCC or bias circuitry. |
| GND | Power and signal ground | Common return path for CS, RON, DIM, and VCC; must be low-impedance and tied directly to DAP thermal pad. |
| CS | Current sense feedback | Monitors voltage across RSNS; comparator triggers switch turn-on when VSNS falls below 200 mV (valley current control). |
| RON | ON-time programming | Resistor from RON to VIN sets tON; determines switching frequency and maximum regulated output voltage range. |
| VCC | Internal bias supply | 7-V regulated output; powers internal circuits; bypassed with 0.1-µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor close to pin. |
| VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 6–75 V; powers internal LDO and supplies energy to BOOT capacitor via internal diode during MOSFET off-time. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No control loop compensation required | Hysteretic COT architecture eliminates external compensation components, reducing BOM count and layout sensitivity. |
| Capacitor-less output support | Direct inductor-to-LED connection enabled by valley-current sensing and 300-ns min off-time, simplifying design and lowering cost. |
| Integrated 735-mA N-MOSFET | Eliminates external high-voltage switch; reduces footprint and improves reliability in space-constrained LED modules. |
| Separate PWM dimming and shutdown | DIM pin controls LED brightness; grounding RON enables ultra-low 90-µA shutdown current without disabling bias circuitry. |
| Built-in open-LED protection | CS OVP comparator at 300 mV disables switch if VSNS exceeds threshold - prevents uncontrolled VO(MAX) rise during LED string break. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar constant-current LED driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM3402MM/NOPB | 42-V max VIN, identical pinout and functionality except lower input voltage rating. | Suitable only for 12/24-V systems; not rated for 48-V or load-dump-prone automotive applications. | Select LM3402MM/NOPB where input never exceeds 42 V and cost optimization is prioritized over voltage margin. |
| TPS92691QPWPRQ1 | Automotive-grade (AEC-Q100), 65-V max VIN, integrated current sense amplifier, analog + PWM dimming. | Requires external current sense resistor but offers higher accuracy (±1.5%) and diagnostic flags (open/short LED). | Choose TPS92691QPWPRQ1 for ASIL-B compliant designs needing diagnostics, higher accuracy, or extended temperature validation. |
Compared with LM3402HVMM/NOPB, LM3402MM/NOPB trades 33-V input headroom for cost reduction in low-voltage systems, while TPS92691QPWPRQ1 adds automotive qualification and diagnostics at the expense of higher BOM complexity and price.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by LM3402HVMM/NOPB?
The LM3402HVMM/NOPB supports a maximum input voltage of 75 V, as specified in its absolute maximum ratings and recommended operating conditions. This rating enables use in 48-V industrial systems and automotive applications subject to load dump transients. Exceeding 75 V risks permanent damage, and operation above 75 V is not guaranteed even briefly.
Does LM3402HVMM/NOPB require an external compensation network?
No, LM3402HVMM/NOPB does not require external compensation. Its controlled-on-time (COT) hysteretic architecture inherently stabilizes the control loop without feedback compensation components. This eliminates the need for external RC networks, simplifies layout, and improves robustness across input voltage and load variations.
How does LM3402HVMM/NOPB handle open-circuit LED failure?
LM3402HVMM/NOPB detects open-circuit LED failure via its CS pin overvoltage comparator, which disables the switch when VSNS exceeds 300 mV. This prevents uncontrolled output voltage rise. When combined with a Zener diode and resistor network, it clamps VO to a safe level, protecting downstream components and meeting IEC 62368-1 fault safety requirements.
Can LM3402HVMM/NOPB operate without an output capacitor?
Yes, LM3402HVMM/NOPB supports capacitor-less LED output configurations. Its valley-current sensing and 300-ns minimum off-time allow stable regulation with only an inductor and LED string. This reduces component count, eliminates electrolytic capacitor aging, and improves reliability in high-temperature applications like streetlights and industrial fixtures.
What thermal management is required for LM3402HVMM/NOPB at full 500-mA load?
At 500-mA continuous output, LM3402HVMM/NOPB requires a PCB with the exposed thermal pad (DAP) soldered to a solid ground plane using 4–6 thermal vias. With this layout, its junction-to-board thermal resistance is 25.8°C/W; maintaining TJ ≤125°C typically requires ≤25°C ambient or modest airflow. Thermal shutdown activates at 165°C to prevent damage during transient overload.
