Product details
Overview
LM5008AMMX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 95-V input, 350-mA constant-on-time (COT) synchronous buck switching regulator with integrated 100-V N-channel MOSFET, 2.5-V internal reference, and no loop compensation required. It operates from 6 V to 95 V input, delivers adjustable output down to 2.5 V, and targets high-voltage industrial power rails and automotive post-regulation.
For engineers reviewing the LM5008AMMX/NOPB datasheet, LM5008AMMX/NOPB pinout, LM5008AMMX/NOPB application, or LM5008AMMX/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include its 35 µs programmable current-limit off-time, 400 ns minimum on-time at 95 V, thermal shutdown at 165°C, and dual-package availability in VSSOP-8 and WSON-8 for layout flexibility.
Technical Context
The LM5008AMMX/NOPB implements a constant-on-time control architecture where on-time varies inversely with VIN (TON ∝ 1/VIN), enabling near-constant switching frequency across line and load variations. Its regulation relies on a 2.5-V precision internal reference compared against FB voltage, with overvoltage protection triggered at 2.875 V.
Current limiting uses an intelligent off-timer whose duration is set by RCL and modulated by FB voltage-35 µs at FB = 0 V (short-circuit), scaling down under partial overload. Startup employs an integrated high-voltage series pass regulator delivering 7-V VCC, with bypass mode below 8.5 V VIN and UVLO at 5.3 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 6 V to 95 V - supports direct connection to 12 V, 24 V, 48 V, and telecom -48 V rails with 100-V absolute max rating. |
| Output Current | 350 mA DC - sufficient for powering auxiliary rails in industrial controllers and automotive ECUs without external boost. |
| Feedback Reference | 2.5 V ±55 mV - enables precise output programming via resistor divider; ripple-based regulation requires ≥25 mV FB ripple. |
| On-Time Min/Max | 400 ns at 95 V / 2.77 µs at 10 V - ensures stable current limit operation and sets practical upper frequency bound per design. |
| Current Limit Threshold | 0.51 A typical - protects internal switch during overload; off-time scales with FB to minimize foldback in partial faults. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 165°C with 25°C hysteresis - automatically disables switch and recovers when junction cools to ~140°C, preventing thermal runaway. |
| VCC Regulator | 7 V output, 9.2 mA current limit - powers gate driver and internal circuitry; bypasses to VIN below 8.5 V with 100 Ω on-resistance. |
Pinout & Package
LM5008AMMX/NOPB is available in 8-pin VSSOP (DGK) package, 3.00 mm × 3.00 mm body size, with exposed pad not electrically connected. Pin functions are validated per TI SNVS583H datasheet Rev H.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 SW | Switching node | Power switching node connecting to inductor, freewheeling diode, and bootstrap capacitor; carries pulsed high-current paths. |
| 2 BST | Bootstrap supply | Input to floating gate driver; requires 0.01-µF ceramic cap to SW; charged from VCC during off-time via internal diode. |
| 3 RCL | Current limit off-time set | Resistor-to-RTN sets forced off-time duration after current limit trip; 35 µs default when FB = 0 V (short-circuit). |
| 4 RTN | Ground reference | Common ground return for feedback, shutdown, and current limit circuits; must be low-impedance connection to system GND. |
| 5 FB | Feedback input | Inverting input of regulation comparator; 2.5-V threshold; 100 nA bias current; requires ≥25 mV ripple for stable COT operation. |
| 6 RT/SD | On-time set / shutdown | Resistor-to-VIN sets on-time; pulled to GND (<0.7 V) disables regulator with 110 µA shutdown current. |
| 7 VCC | Bias supply output | 7-V regulated output powering gate driver; requires 0.47-µF local decoupling; UVLO at 5.3 V prevents startup until stable. |
| 8 VIN | Main input supply | Primary power input (6–95 V); supplies internal bias regulator and switch; withstands 100-V transients. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No loop compensation required | Constant-on-time architecture eliminates external compensation network, reducing BOM count and design iteration time. |
| Intelligent current limit | Off-time scales with FB voltage: 35 µs at short-circuit (FB = 0 V), shorter under partial overload - minimizes foldback and improves recovery. |
| Pre-charge switch | 150-ns pulse during minimum off-time recharges BST capacitor under light-load or pre-biased conditions - prevents gate drive dropout. |
| Discontinuous conduction mode | Automatic DCM entry at light loads reduces switching losses and maintains >80% efficiency down to 10 mA output current. |
| VCC bypass & regulation | Seamless transition between VIN tracking (6–8.5 V) and 7-V regulation (>8.5 V) - optimizes bias efficiency across full input range. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5008MMX/NOPB | Base variant with 8 V min input; lacks 6 V startup capability and has different on-time equation. | Not suitable for cold-crank automotive (6 V) or low-input industrial systems. | Select LM5008AMMX/NOPB when operation below 8 V is required or when matching LM5008A-specific timing behavior. |
| LM5164QDDARQ1 | Automotive-grade 100-V buck with 150-mA output, valley current mode, and AEC-Q100 qualification. | Designed for ASIL-B systems; includes spread-spectrum, enhanced fault reporting, and wider temp range (–40°C to 150°C). | Choose LM5164QDDARQ1 for safety-critical automotive applications requiring qualification and diagnostic features. |
Compared with LM5008MMX/NOPB, the LM5008AMMX/NOPB enables lower-voltage startup and tighter transient response due to its optimized COT algorithm; versus LM5164QDDARQ1, it offers higher output current and simpler implementation but lacks automotive qualification and advanced diagnostics.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage supported by the LM5008AMMX/NOPB?
The LM5008AMMX/NOPB supports a minimum input voltage of 6 V, enabling reliable startup during automotive cold-crank conditions and low-voltage industrial brownouts. This is a functional distinction from the base LM5008 variant, which requires 8 V minimum. The 6 V capability is confirmed in TI's SNVS583H datasheet Section 3 (Description) and Section 6.3 (Recommended Operating Conditions).
Does the LM5008AMMX/NOPB require external compensation components?
No, the LM5008AMMX/NOPB does not require external compensation components. Its constant-on-time (COT) control architecture inherently provides stability without feedback loop compensation networks. This is explicitly stated in the Features section of the datasheet and verified in Section 7.3.1, where the control scheme is described as "no loop compensation required" - a core design advantage reducing BOM count and layout complexity.
How is the switching frequency determined for the LM5008AMMX/NOPB?
The LM5008AMMX/NOPB does not use a fixed-frequency oscillator. Instead, its operating frequency results from the interplay of programmed on-time (set by RT resistor and inversely proportional to VIN) and load-dependent off-time. In continuous conduction mode, frequency remains relatively constant across line and load; in discontinuous mode at light loads, frequency decreases to maintain efficiency. Equation 2 in the datasheet (Section 7.3.1) provides the approximate CCM frequency calculation.
What package options are available for the LM5008AMMX/NOPB?
The LM5008AMMX/NOPB is offered in two surface-mount packages: 8-pin VSSOP (DGK, 3.00 mm × 3.00 mm) and 8-pin WSON (NGU, 4.00 mm × 4.00 mm with exposed thermal pad). Both are RoHS-compliant and lead-free. The VSSOP variant is used in the LM5008AMMX/NOPB orderable part number; WSON is available under separate part numbers (e.g., LM5008ANGR/NOPB).
Can the LM5008AMMX/NOPB be used in automotive applications?
Yes, the LM5008AMMX/NOPB is suitable for non-safety-critical automotive applications such as infotainment power supplies, body control modules, and telematics gateways. It operates across –40°C to 125°C junction temperature, withstands 95 V input (covering load-dump transients), and includes thermal shutdown at 165°C. However, it is not AEC-Q100 qualified; for ASIL-B systems, TI recommends the automotive-grade LM5164QDDARQ1 instead.
