Product details
Overview
LM5001MA from Texas Instruments is a high-voltage current-mode PWM controller IC integrating a 75-V, 1-A peak-rated N-channel MOSFET for Boost, Flyback, SEPIC, and Forward DC-DC converters. It operates from 3.1 V to 75 V input, delivers 1.26 V ±1.5% reference accuracy, supports up to 1.5 MHz switching via RT resistor, and includes cycle-by-cycle current limiting and thermal shutdown at 165°C - used in industrial power supplies and automotive auxiliary converters.
For engineers reviewing the LM5001MA datasheet, LM5001MA pinout, LM5001MA application, or LM5001MA equivalent, key selection criteria include its integrated 75-V MOSFET RDS(on) (490–800 mΩ), adjustable 50 kHz–1.5 MHz oscillator, EN/UVLO dual-threshold control (0.45 V shutdown / 1.26 V enable), COMP-based loop compensation, and SOIC-8 package compatibility with WSON-8 variants.
Technical Context
The LM5001MA implements peak current-mode control with internal slope compensation (450 mV ramp) to prevent sub-harmonic oscillation above 50% duty cycle. Its PWM comparator compares a scaled current-sense signal (1.05 V/A) plus slope ramp against the COMP voltage, while the error amplifier provides 72 dB DC gain and 3 MHz unity-gain bandwidth for stable loop response.
It features a dedicated high-voltage VCC LDO regulator (6.55–7.15 V output) that tracks VIN up to 6.9 V then clamps, enabling operation across 3.1 V–75 V input range. The EN pin integrates two comparators for programmable UVLO (1.26 V enable threshold, 0.45 V shutdown) with 100 mV hysteresis and a 6 µA internal pull-up current source.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.1 V to 75 V - supports wide-range industrial and automotive battery inputs without external pre-regulation. |
| Switching Frequency | 50 kHz to 1.5 MHz - set by single RT resistor; enables compact magnetics and EMI optimization. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.260 V ±1.5% - high-accuracy internal reference ensures tight output voltage regulation in feedback loops. |
| Current Limit Threshold | 0.8 A to 1.2 A peak - cycle-by-cycle protection prevents MOSFET overcurrent during startup or overload. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 165°C with 20°C hysteresis - protects die integrity during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Max Duty Cycle | 80% to 90% - configurable limit prevents transformer saturation and improves transient response margin. |
| COMP Sink Current | 2.5 mA at 250 mV - sufficient drive strength for opto-coupler biasing in isolated flyback designs. |
Pinout & Package
LM5001MA is supplied in an SOIC-8 (D) package (4.9 mm × 3.91 mm body size) with exposed pad not present - distinct from WSON-8 variant. Pin functions are validated per TI SNVS484H datasheet Rev H.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SW) | Power switch drain node | Connects directly to MOSFET drain; carries high dv/dt switching waveform - requires minimized PCB loop area. |
| 2 (VIN) | Main input supply | Accepts 3.1 V–75 V; powers internal circuitry and charges VCC capacitor; must be bypassed with ≥0.47 µF ceramic. |
| 3 (VCC) | Bias regulator output/input | Internally regulated to 6.9 V (max); can accept external 7–12 V supply to reduce dissipation and improve efficiency. |
| 4 (GND) | Analog and power ground | Reference for current sense, FB, COMP, and RT; must tie to low-impedance ground plane near VCC and VIN caps. |
| 5 (RT) | Oscillator timing/sync input | Resistor-to-GND sets frequency; accepts AC-coupled sync pulses >2.6 V peak for external clock synchronization. |
| 6 (FB) | Feedback input | Inverting input of error amp; referenced to 1.26 V internal bandgap; connects to resistive divider from output. |
| 7 (COMP) | Error amplifier output | Open-drain output with 5 kΩ internal pull-up; connects to compensation network and opto-coupler collector in isolated designs. |
| 8 (EN) | Enable / UVLO input | Dual-threshold control: <0.45 V = shutdown (95 µA IQ), >1.26 V = full operation; internal 6 µA pull-up enables default-on behavior. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 75-V N-Channel MOSFET | Reduces BOM count and layout complexity; eliminates need for external high-voltage switch in Boost/Flyback topologies. |
| Adjustable 50 kHz–1.5 MHz oscillator | Enables optimization of efficiency vs. size trade-off; single RT resistor simplifies frequency setting without trimming. |
| Current-mode control with slope compensation | Ensures stable operation at >50% duty cycle; built-in 450 mV ramp prevents sub-harmonic oscillation without external components. |
| Dual-threshold EN pin with hysteresis | Supports programmable UVLO and remote shutdown; 100 mV hysteresis prevents chatter during input brownout conditions. |
| High-bandwidth error amplifier | 72 dB DC gain and 3 MHz unity-gain bandwidth allow robust Type II compensation for fast load transient response. |
| VCC LDO with external bias option | Improves efficiency in high-VIN applications by allowing external 7–12 V bias, reducing internal power loss and thermal stress. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5002MA | Higher 100-V MOSFET rating, 2-A peak current limit, wider 100 kHz–2 MHz frequency range. | Suitable for higher-power or higher-input-voltage systems (e.g., 48 V telecom rectifiers). | Select LM5002MA when input exceeds 75 V or peak load current exceeds 1.2 A. |
| UCC28C42DR | External MOSFET required; 30-V VDD max; no integrated HV bias regulator; lower 16-V UVLO threshold. | Requires external HV gate driver and bias supply; better suited for cost-sensitive, lower-voltage designs. | Choose UCC28C42DR only if system already includes discrete 100-V+ MOSFET and dedicated bias rail. |
Compared with LM5002MA, LM5001MA offers lower cost and smaller solution size for ≤75 V, ≤1.2 A applications; versus UCC28C42DR, it eliminates external HV switch and bias complexity but trades off design flexibility and maximum voltage headroom.

FAQ
What is the absolute maximum input voltage rating for the LM5001MA?
The LM5001MA has an absolute maximum VIN-to-GND rating of 76 V. Exceeding this voltage - even transiently due to ringing or load dump - risks permanent damage. Designers must use proper input filtering (e.g., TVS diode + LC filter per Figure 14 in SNVS484H) and ensure PCB layout minimizes VIN/GND loop inductance to suppress overshoot.
Can the LM5001MA operate with an external 12 V bias applied to the VCC pin?
Yes, the LM5001MA supports external VCC bias from 7 V to 12 V. When applied, the internal VCC LDO shuts off, reducing power dissipation and improving overall converter efficiency - especially beneficial when VIN significantly exceeds the output voltage. Ensure the external VCC never exceeds VIN to avoid reverse current through the internal body diode.
How is the switching frequency set on the LM5001MA?
The LM5001MA switching frequency is set by a single resistor (RT) connected between the RT pin and GND. Using RRT = 48.7 kΩ yields ~260 kHz; RRT = 15.8 kΩ yields ~780 kHz. The relationship is defined in the datasheet as FSW ≈ 13.1×10⁹ / (RRT + 83 ns). The RT pin also accepts synchronized clock pulses via 100 pF AC coupling.
What is the purpose of the dual-threshold EN pin on the LM5001MA?
The EN pin on the LM5001MA provides three operational states: <0.45 V = shutdown (IQ ≈ 95 µA), 0.45–1.26 V = standby (VCC active, PWM disabled), >1.26 V = full operation. This enables precise UVLO programming and remote control - e.g., MCU GPIO can force shutdown, while a resistor divider sets minimum input turn-on voltage.
Does the LM5001MA require external slope compensation?
No, the LM5001MA includes internal slope compensation (450 mV ramp) specifically designed to stabilize current-mode control at duty cycles above 50%. This eliminates the need for external ramp injection circuitry, simplifying design and improving consistency across production units.
