Product details
Overview
LM3402HVMRX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a monolithic 0.5-A constant-current buck regulator with integrated 735-mA N-channel MOSFET, 6–75 V input range, 200-mV current-sense threshold, and hysteretic controlled ON-time architecture-designed specifically to drive high-power LED arrays in automotive headlamps and industrial lighting systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM3402HVMRX/NOPB datasheet, LM3402HVMRX/NOPB pinout, LM3402HVMRX/NOPB application, or LM3402HVMRX/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include VIN range compatibility (up to 75 V), thermal shutdown at 165°C, PWM dimming support via TTL-level DIM pin, and absence of control-loop compensation requirements.
Technical Context
The LM3402HVMRX/NOPB implements a controlled ON-time (COT) architecture combining hysteretic current regulation with a one-shot timer whose duration varies inversely with VIN and is set by an external RON resistor. This eliminates need for loop compensation while maintaining stable switching frequency in continuous conduction mode (CCM).
It integrates a 7-V internal linear regulator (VCC), bootstrap gate driver for high-side MOSFET, cycle-by-cycle current limiting at 735 mA (typ), and dual protection comparators: CS overvoltage (300 mV) for open-LED detection and thermal shutdown at 165°C with 25°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 6 V to 75 V - supports wide-input automotive and industrial DC bus voltages without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 500 mA over temperature - delivers stable LED current across –40°C to +125°C junction range. |
| CS Threshold | 200 mV ±3 mV - sets LED current via external sense resistor (e.g., 0.4 Ω yields 500 mA); low drift enables tight current accuracy. |
| Current Limit | 735 mA typical - provides robust short-circuit and overcurrent protection without external circuitry. |
| Switch RDS(on) | 0.7–1.5 Ω - integrated MOSFET reduces BOM count and improves efficiency vs. external switch solutions. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 165°C with 25°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Shutdown Current | 90–180 µA - enables ultra-low-power standby in battery-backed or energy-sensitive lighting systems. |
Pinout & Package
LM3402HVMRX/NOPB is housed in an 8-pin HSOP (DDA) package measuring 4.89 mm × 3.90 mm with exposed thermal pad (DAP) for enhanced power dissipation. 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-frequency pulsed current up to 735 mA. |
| BOOT | Bootstrap supply | Drives high-side MOSFET gate; requires 10-nF ceramic capacitor between BOOT and SW for 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 bias. |
| GND | Power and signal ground | Common reference for CS, DIM, RON, and VCC; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| CS | Current sense feedback | Monitors voltage across external RSNS; comparator triggers MOSFET turn-on when VSNS falls below 200 mV. |
| RON | ON-time control | Resistor from RON to VIN sets tON; e.g., 200 kΩ yields ~380 ns at VIN = 70 V for LM3402HV variant. |
| VCC | Internal bias supply | 7-V regulated output (6.6–7.4 V); powers internal circuits; bypassed with ≥0.1-µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor. |
| VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 6–75 V DC; powers both internal regulator and high-side switch; includes UVLO at 5.25 V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No compensation required | Hysteretic COT control eliminates external compensation network-reduces design time and component count. |
| Open-LED protection | CS overvoltage comparator trips at 300 mV to disable MOSFET if LED string opens-prevents uncontrolled VO rise. |
| All-ceramic output support | Stable operation with ceramic-only or capacitor-less outputs-enables compact, low-ESR, high-reliability designs. |
| Integrated 735-mA MOSFET | Reduces external component count and layout complexity versus controller-only solutions; RDS(on) ≤1.5 Ω. |
| PWM dimming with pull-up | 75 µA internal DIM pull-up ensures default-on operation; eliminates need for external pull-up resistor in most cases. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM3402MRX/NOPB | Lower VIN max (42 V vs. 75 V); identical pinout, package, and functional architecture. | Suitable only for 12/24 V automotive or general-purpose lighting-not rated for 48 V+ industrial bus rails. | Select LM3402MRX/NOPB where input voltage remains ≤42 V and cost optimization is prioritized. |
| TPS92630QPWPRQ1 | Automotive-grade AEC-Q100 qualified; adds analog dimming, fault reporting, and higher accuracy (±1.5% current). | Requires external MOSFET; larger solution size; supports diagnostics for ASIL-B systems. | Choose TPS92630QPWPRQ1 for safety-critical automotive lighting requiring diagnostic coverage and tighter current tolerance. |
Compared with LM3402MRX/NOPB, LM3402HVMRX/NOPB extends input range to 75 V for compatibility with 48 V DC distribution systems, while TPS92630QPWPRQ1 trades integration for automotive qualification and diagnostic capability-making LM3402HVMRX/NOPB optimal for cost-sensitive, high-voltage industrial LED drivers without functional safety requirements.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by LM3402HVMRX/NOPB?
The LM3402HVMRX/NOPB supports a maximum input voltage of 75 V, as specified in its absolute maximum ratings and recommended operating conditions. This distinguishes it from the standard LM3402 (42 V max) and makes it suitable for 48 V DC distribution systems and industrial power rails. Operation above 75 V risks permanent device damage.
Does LM3402HVMRX/NOPB require external compensation components?
No, LM3402HVMRX/NOPB does not require external compensation components. Its controlled ON-time (COT) hysteretic architecture inherently stabilizes the control loop without needing resistors or capacitors for phase margin adjustment-reducing bill-of-materials count and simplifying layout.
How does LM3402HVMRX/NOPB handle open-LED fault conditions?
LM3402HVMRX/NOPB detects open-LED faults via its CS pin overvoltage comparator, which disables the internal MOSFET when the sense voltage exceeds 300 mV. This prevents uncontrolled output voltage rise and protects downstream components. The 200-mV regulation threshold and 300-mV OVP threshold provide built-in margin for safe fail-safe operation.
Can LM3402HVMRX/NOPB operate without an output capacitor?
Yes, LM3402HVMRX/NOPB supports capacitor-less operation due to its current-mode topology and direct inductor-to-LED connection. The device regulates LED current-not voltage-so no output capacitance is needed to maintain regulation. A small 10-nF capacitor across the LED array may be added to dampen ringing but is not required for stability.
What thermal management is required for LM3402HVMRX/NOPB in continuous 500-mA operation?
For continuous 500-mA operation at full load and high ambient temperature, LM3402HVMRX/NOPB requires proper thermal management via its exposed DAP pad. TI specifies RθJA = 45.6°C/W for the HSOP package; a 4–6 via thermal connection to a solid ground plane is mandatory to keep junction temperature below 125°C under worst-case conditions.
