Product details
Overview
LM5000-3MTC/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a high-voltage current-mode PWM controller IC designed for flyback, boost, and forward DC/DC converter topologies. It integrates an 80V/2A NMOS power switch, supports 3.1V–40V input, offers pin-selectable 300kHz or 700kHz switching frequency, and delivers adjustable output voltage via external resistor divider - used in DSL modems and distributed power converters.
For engineers reviewing the LM5000-3MTC/NOPB datasheet, LM5000-3MTC/NOPB pinout, LM5000-3MTC/NOPB application, or LM5000-3MTC/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include internal switch voltage rating (80V), current limit (2A typ), thermal shutdown behavior, softstart timing control via external capacitor, and FS pin configuration for frequency selection.
Technical Context
The LM5000-3MTC/NOPB implements peak current-mode control with built-in slope compensation to suppress subharmonic oscillation above 50% duty cycle. Its error amplifier features 150–750 µmho transconductance and 280 V/V gain, with COMP pin enabling full external loop compensation using RC/CC networks.
It includes dedicated protection circuits: undervoltage lockout (2.74–3.10 V turn-on threshold), overtemperature shutdown (150°C junction limit), and switch current limiting (1.35–2.7 A). The FS pin selects between 300 kHz (grounded) and 700 kHz (open), with typical fS tolerance ±20% across temperature and input voltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Internal Switch Rating | 80V breakdown voltage - supports high-input industrial or telecom supplies without external HV MOSFET. |
| Switch Current Limit | 2.0 A typical - sets maximum peak inductor current; enables robust overload handling in boost/flyback designs. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.1 V to 40 V - accommodates wide-range DC inputs including 12 V, 24 V, and 36 V industrial rails. |
| Switching Frequency | 300 kHz (FS grounded) or 700 kHz (FS open) - higher frequency allows smaller magnetics and faster transient response. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.259 V ±2.4 mV - precise reference enables accurate output regulation; line regulation <0.04%/V ensures stability across input range. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C junction temperature - protects die during sustained overload or poor heatsinking; auto-recovery on cooldown. |
| Softstart Control | External capacitor on SS pin - sets controlled ramp-up of COMP voltage to limit inrush current and prevent output overshoot. |
Pinout & Package
LM5000-3MTC/NOPB is packaged in a 16-lead thermally enhanced TSSOP (MTC) with exposed thermal pad. Pin 1 is COMP; pins 9–11 are paralleled SW terminals; pins 4–8 are ground connections (AGND/PGND); pin 16 is TEST (must be grounded).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (COMP) | Compensation network node | Connects to output of error amplifier; RC/CC network here sets loop stability poles/zeros for current-mode control. |
| 2 (FB) | Voltage feedback input | Monitors resistive divider output; regulates output by maintaining 1.259 V at this pin. |
| 3 (SHDN) | Enable/disable control | Open = enabled; grounded = disabled - supports remote ON/OFF sequencing in multi-rail systems. |
| 4–8 (AGND/PGND) | Analog & power ground | Separate AGND (pin 4) and PGND (pins 5–8) minimize noise coupling; connect directly to common ground plane. |
| 9–11 (SW) | Switch drain node | High-current path to internal NMOS; paralleled pins reduce resistance and improve thermal performance. |
| 12 (BYP) | Bypass capacitor connection | 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor decouples analog supply; critical for stable biasing of internal references. |
| 13 (VIN) | Analog power input | Supplies internal circuitry; RC filter (10 Ω + ≥0.1 µF) recommended to suppress line transients. |
| 14 (SS) | Softstart timing input | Internal 11 µA current source charges external capacitor; determines startup ramp time and inrush control. |
| 15 (FS) | Frequency select | Ground = 300 kHz; open = 700 kHz - configures oscillator without external components. |
| 16 (TEST) | Factory test terminal | Must be connected to ground in application; no functional role in normal operation. |
| Exposed Pad | Thermal interface | Connected to system ground plane; reduces θJA to 150°C/W (TSSOP) for reliable 125°C operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 80V/2A NMOS switch | Eliminates need for external high-voltage MOSFET and gate driver in medium-power flyback/boost designs. |
| Current-mode PWM control | Provides inherent cycle-by-cycle current limiting and superior line transient rejection without additional sensing circuitry. |
| Pin-selectable switching frequency | Enables layout optimization: 300 kHz for efficiency or 700 kHz for compact magnetics - no external clock required. |
| External compensation (COMP pin) | Allows full customization of loop dynamics for diverse output capacitors, loads, and topologies including discontinuous conduction mode. |
| Softstart with programmable timing | Prevents output overshoot and limits inrush current via user-selected capacitor - critical for powering sensitive downstream circuitry. |
| Comprehensive protection suite | Includes UVLO, overtemperature shutdown, current limit, and thermal foldback - ensures safe operation under fault conditions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage PWM controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5002MTC/NOPB | Higher 100 V switch rating; same 2 A current limit; supports 500 kHz / 1 MHz frequency selection. | Required for >80 V input or higher reflected voltages in flyback designs; wider VIN range (3.1 V–75 V). | Select when input exceeds 40 V or transformer turns ratio demands higher switch BVDSS margin. |
| UCC28C43DR | Lower 75 V switch rating; 1 A current limit; fixed 1 MHz frequency; no softstart or external compensation. | Targeted at cost-sensitive, lower-power (<10 W) applications where loop tuning flexibility is not needed. | Choose for simplified, fixed-frequency boost designs with minimal external components and lower BOM cost. |
Compared with LM5000-3MTC/NOPB, LM5002MTC/NOPB extends input voltage capability and switch ruggedness for harsher environments, while UCC28C43DR trades configurability for integration and cost reduction in entry-level converters.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the LM5000-3MTC/NOPB?
The LM5000-3MTC/NOPB supports an operating input voltage range of 3.1 V to 40 V. Absolute maximum rating for VIN is 40 V - exceeding this may cause permanent damage. For applications with transient spikes above 40 V, external clamping or filtering is required before the VIN pin.
How does the FS pin configure switching frequency on the LM5000-3MTC/NOPB?
On the LM5000-3MTC/NOPB, the FS pin selects between two frequencies: grounding FS sets 300 kHz operation, while leaving FS open (high-impedance) selects 700 kHz. This configuration is active at power-up and remains fixed until reset; no pull-up/pull-down resistors are needed beyond the chosen state.
Can the LM5000-3MTC/NOPB be used in flyback and boost topologies interchangeably?
Yes - the LM5000-3MTC/NOPB is explicitly designed for flyback, boost, and forward topologies. Its current-mode architecture, 80 V switch, and external compensation make it adaptable to all three. Design differences lie in transformer/inductor selection, snubber requirements, and feedback implementation - not IC functionality.
What is the purpose of the multiple PGND pins (pins 5–8) on the LM5000-3MTC/NOPB?
The LM5000-3MTC/NOPB allocates four dedicated PGND pins (5–8) to minimize power ground impedance and reduce voltage drop during high-current switching transitions. This improves current limit accuracy, reduces thermal stress on bond wires, and enhances EMI performance by providing low-inductance return paths for the 2 A switch current.
Does the LM5000-3MTC/NOPB require an external bootstrap capacitor?
No - the LM5000-3MTC/NOPB does not use a bootstrap capacitor. It integrates a charge pump and level-shifting circuitry to drive its internal NMOS switch directly from the VIN supply. The BYP pin (pin 12) requires only a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor for analog supply decoupling, not high-side gate drive support.
