Product details
Overview
LM5000-3MTCX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a high-voltage current-mode PWM controller IC optimized 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/700kHz switching, includes external compensation, softstart, and thermal shutdown - deployed in DSL modems and distributed power converters.
For engineers reviewing the LM5000-3MTCX/NOPB datasheet, LM5000-3MTCX/NOPB pinout, LM5000-3MTCX/NOPB application, or LM5000-3MTCX/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include internal switch voltage rating (80V), current limit (2A typ), frequency select logic (FS pin), thermal resistance (45°C/W in WSON), and feedback reference accuracy (1.259V ±2.5mV).
Technical Context
The LM5000-3MTCX/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, driving the COMP pin for loop stability tuning via external RC-CC network.
Switching frequency is determined by the FS pin state (grounded = 300kHz, open = 700kHz) with ±10% variation over temperature and input voltage. Protection functions include input undervoltage lockout (2.74–3.10V turn-on threshold), overtemperature shutdown (150°C junction), and cycle-by-cycle current limiting (1.35–2.7A).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.1V to 40V - supports wide-input industrial and telecom supplies without pre-regulation. |
| Internal Switch Rating | 80V breakdown, 2A current limit - enables direct operation from 48V bus or PoE-derived rails. |
| Switching Frequency | 300kHz (FS grounded) or 700kHz (FS open) - balances efficiency vs. size for magnetics and output caps. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.259V ±2.5mV - sets output voltage precision via resistor divider; enables <±1% regulation at mid-load. |
| Thermal Resistance (θJA) | 45°C/W (WSON package) - allows >2W dissipation at 85°C ambient before thermal shutdown triggers. |
| Quiescent Current | 2.5mA (non-switching, VIN=12V) - minimizes no-load power loss in always-on systems. |
| Softstart Current | 11µA typ - charges external SS capacitor linearly to control inrush and prevent output overshoot. |
Pinout & Package
LM5000-3MTCX/NOPB is packaged in a thermally enhanced 16-lead WSON (4mm × 4mm, 0.65mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad connected to system ground plane. Pin count and function match TI's LM5000-3 family specification.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (COMP) | Compensation node | Connects to error amp output; RC-CC network here sets loop stability poles/zeros. |
| 2 (FB) | Feedback input | Senses resistor-divider voltage; regulates output by maintaining 1.259V at this pin. |
| 3 (SHDN) | Shutdown control | Open = enable; grounded = disable - enables remote ON/OFF and sequencing control. |
| 4 (AGND) | Analog ground | Reference for FB, COMP, SS; must tie directly to PGND to minimize noise coupling. |
| 5–8 (PGND) | Power ground (x4) | Low-inductance return path for switch current; connects to exposed thermal pad. |
| 9–11 (SW) | Switch node (x3) | High-current output of internal NMOS; connects to transformer primary or boost inductor. |
| 12 (BYP) | Bypass capacitor | 0.1µF ceramic decoupling; stabilizes internal bias rails against switching transients. |
| 13 (VIN) | Analog power input | Supplies internal circuitry; requires RC filter (10Ω + ≥0.1µF) for noise immunity. |
| 14 (SS) | Softstart timing | External capacitor charged by 11µA current source; controls ramp-up of COMP voltage. |
| 15 (FS) | Frequency select | Ground = 300kHz; open = 700kHz - configures oscillator without external components. |
| 16 (TEST) | Factory test | Must be grounded in application; no user function. |
| Exposed Pad | Thermal & electrical ground | Required connection to PCB ground plane for thermal performance and EMI reduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 80V/2A NMOS switch | Eliminates external high-voltage MOSFET and gate driver; reduces BOM count and layout area. |
| Pin-selectable 300kHz/700kHz operation | Enables single design to support either low-EMI (300kHz) or compact (700kHz) implementations. |
| External compensation (COMP pin) | Allows full control over loop bandwidth, phase margin, and transient response via RC-CC network. |
| Current-mode control with slope compensation | Ensures stable operation at >50% duty cycle without external ramp generator. |
| Softstart and UVLO protection | Prevents inrush current damage and ensures reliable startup only above 2.92V input. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5002MTCX/NOPB | Higher 100V switch rating; same 300kHz/700kHz FS select; identical pinout and compensation architecture. | Supports 60V+ input rails (e.g., 48V PoE++ or automotive transients); otherwise drop-in compatible. | Select when input may exceed 40V or require higher surge margin; retains same layout and compensation. |
| UCC28C43DR | 80V switch, fixed 1MHz frequency, no FS pin; lower quiescent current (1.5mA); different COMP structure (no external slope comp). | Better suited for ultra-compact designs where 1MHz enables smallest magnetics; lacks frequency flexibility. | Choose for space-constrained applications needing fixed high frequency; requires redesign of compensation network. |
Compared with LM5000-3MTCX/NOPB, LM5002MTCX/NOPB extends input voltage headroom while preserving compatibility, whereas UCC28C43DR trades frequency configurability for smaller passive size and lower no-load loss - requiring layout and loop compensation changes.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the LM5000-3MTCX/NOPB?
The LM5000-3MTCX/NOPB supports an operating input voltage range of 3.1V to 40V. Absolute maximum rating for VIN is 40V - exceeding this risks permanent damage. The device includes undervoltage lockout that disables operation below 2.74V and re-enables above 2.92V, ensuring clean startup behavior. This range makes LM5000-3MTCX/NOPB suitable for 24V and 36V industrial buses, but not for 48V direct connection without input clamping or pre-regulation.
How does the FS pin configure switching frequency on the LM5000-3MTCX/NOPB?
On the LM5000-3MTCX/NOPB, the FS pin selects between two discrete frequencies: grounding FS sets 300kHz operation (typical 240–360kHz over temp/voltage), while leaving FS open (high-impedance) selects 700kHz (typical 550–840kHz). This configuration requires no external resistors or clocks. The LM5000-3MTCX/NOPB datasheet confirms this behavior is specific to the "-3" variant - the "-6" variant uses different thresholds (600kHz/1.3MHz). No pull-up or pull-down is needed beyond the stated states.
Can the LM5000-3MTCX/NOPB be used in flyback topology with optocoupler feedback?
Yes, the LM5000-3MTCX/NOPB is explicitly validated for flyback regulator use, including configurations with optocoupler-based secondary-side feedback. Its current-mode architecture and COMP pin allow stable loop compensation across wide duty cycles. Figure 23 in the official SNVS176D datasheet shows a complete flyback schematic with TL431 and PC817. The FB pin references the internal 1.259V bandgap, enabling precise regulation regardless of isolation method - making LM5000-3MTCX/NOPB appropriate for medical and industrial isolated supplies.
What thermal performance can be expected from the LM5000-3MTCX/NOPB in WSON package?
The LM5000-3MTCX/NOPB in its 16-pin WSON package has a specified θJA of 45°C/W when mounted on a 2-layer PCB with 1-inch² copper pour connected to the exposed thermal pad. At 85°C ambient and 1.5W dissipation, junction temperature reaches ~152°C - triggering thermal shutdown. Derating is required above 70°C ambient for continuous full-load operation. TI recommends minimum 4 thermal vias (0.3mm diameter) under the pad, connected to inner ground plane, to achieve the published 45°C/W value. This thermal capability exceeds the TSSOP variant (150°C/W) by >3×.
Is the LM5000-3MTCX/NOPB RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the LM5000-3MTCX/NOPB is RoHS-compliant and lead-free, as indicated by the "/NOPB" suffix in the part number (TI's standard designation for lead-free, RoHS-compliant packaging). It meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL-3) and is qualified per TI's automotive-grade reliability standards. The WSON package uses matte tin (Sn) terminal finish, compatible with standard Pb-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C). Full compliance documentation is available in TI's Quality & Environmental section for LM5000-3MTCX/NOPB.
