Product details
Overview
LM3411AM5X-5.0/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision 5-V fixed-output shunt regulator with ±0.5% initial tolerance (A-grade), designed to drive optocouplers in isolated DC-DC feedback loops. It features an open-emitter NPN output capable of 15 mA sink current, internal bandgap reference with curvature correction, and externally accessible COMP pin for loop compensation. It operates across –40°C to +125°C and is used in flyback converters delivering 5 V at up to 1.5 A.
For engineers reviewing the LM3411AM5X-5.0/NOPB datasheet, LM3411AM5X-5.0/NOPB pinout, LM3411AM5X-5.0/NOPB application, or LM3411AM5X-5.0/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include regulation accuracy over temperature, optocoupler drive capability, COMP pin accessibility for stability tuning, and SOT-23 package compatibility with space-constrained isolated power supplies.
Technical Context
The LM3411AM5X-5.0/NOPB implements a precision shunt regulation architecture using an internally compensated op-amp, trimmed bandgap reference, and integrated NPN output transistor. Its regulation voltage is set by internal feedback resistors (70–118 kΩ) and stabilized via external RC compensation between COMP and OUT pins.
It functions as a secondary-side voltage reference and error amplifier in isolated topologies-sensing output voltage at +IN relative to GND, then sinking current from OUT into an optocoupler LED to adjust primary-side PWM duty cycle. The no-connection pin (Pin 3) is thermally tied to PCB for improved heat transfer.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Regulation Voltage | 5.000 V ±0.5% at 25°C; ±1% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures stable feedback reference without trimming |
| Output Current Range | 20 μA to 15 mA - supports direct optocoupler LED drive across light-load to full-load conditions |
| Quiescent Current | 85–110 μA at 25°C - enables high-efficiency operation in standby and light-load modes |
| Output Saturation Voltage | 1.0–1.2 V at 15 mA - defines minimum headroom needed across optocoupler LED for reliable turn-on |
| Transconductance (Gm) | 3.3 mA/mV (typ.) at 25°C, 1–15 mA range - determines loop gain and transient response sensitivity |
| Output Noise | 80 μVRMS, 10 Hz–10 kHz - low noise preserves regulation accuracy in sensitive feedback paths |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL431ACDBVR | Adjustable 2.5 V reference (requires two external resistors); 100 mA sink capability; higher quiescent current (2–4 mA) | Requires external resistor network for 5 V setting; better suited for non-isolated or high-current feedback | Select when adjustable output or higher sink current is required; avoid if board space or trimming tolerance are constraints |
| LM4040C50IDBZR | Fixed 5.0 V shunt reference only (no amplifier or drive transistor); 15 mA max sink; no COMP pin or active drive capability | Cannot drive optocouplers directly; needs external transistor for isolation feedback | Select only for simple voltage monitoring or non-isolated reference; not suitable as drop-in replacement for optocoupler-driven feedback |
Compared with TL431ACDBVR and LM4040C50IDBZR, LM3411AM5X-5.0/NOPB uniquely integrates precision reference, error amplifier, and optocoupler driver in one SOT-23 package-reducing component count, eliminating resistor tolerance errors, and enabling stable isolated feedback without external gain stages.

FAQ
What is the primary function of LM3411AM5X-5.0/NOPB in a power supply?
The LM3411AM5X-5.0/NOPB serves as a precision 5-V shunt regulator and optocoupler driver on the secondary side of isolated DC-DC converters. It senses output voltage at its +IN pin, compares it to an internal bandgap reference, and sinks current from its OUT pin into an optocoupler LED to adjust primary-side PWM duty cycle-enabling accurate, stable regulation without external trimming components.
Does LM3411AM5X-5.0/NOPB require external resistors to set its output voltage?
No. LM3411AM5X-5.0/NOPB has factory-trimmed internal feedback resistors (70–118 kΩ) that fix the regulation voltage at 5.000 V with ±0.5% initial tolerance. Unlike adjustable references such as TL431, it does not require external resistors-eliminating resistor tolerance errors, layout sensitivity, and calibration steps during manufacturing.
Can LM3411AM5X-5.0/NOPB drive standard optocouplers directly?
Yes. LM3411AM5X-5.0/NOPB features an open-emitter NPN output capable of sinking up to 15 mA with a saturation voltage of ≤1.2 V at full load. This allows direct drive of common optocouplers like PC817 or SFH615A without additional transistors-provided the optocoupler's forward voltage and CTR are compatible with the available bias voltage and current.
How is loop compensation implemented for LM3411AM5X-5.0/NOPB?
Loop compensation is implemented via the COMP pin (Pin 4), which exposes the inverting input of the internal error amplifier. A single capacitor (typically 10–100 nF) is connected between COMP and OUT to provide dominant-pole compensation. This external RC network stabilizes the closed-loop response and adjusts phase margin-critical for maintaining stability across varying transformer leakage inductance and load conditions.
What is the role of Pin 3 (NC) on LM3411AM5X-5.0/NOPB?
Pin 3 is a no-internal-connection terminal but must be soldered to PCB copper for thermal conduction. It acts as a thermal pad-improving heat transfer from the die to the board-and helps maintain junction temperature within limits (TJ ≤125°C) during continuous 15 mA operation. Leaving Pin 3 unconnected degrades thermal performance and may trigger premature thermal shutdown or reliability issues.
