Product details
Overview
LM5008ASD/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 precision feedback reference, and internal start-up regulator. 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 LM5008ASD/NOPB datasheet, LM5008ASD/NOPB pinout, LM5008ASD/NOPB application, or LM5008ASD/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include its no-loop-compensation COT architecture, intelligent current-limit off-timer with RCL programmability, bootstrap gate drive with pre-charge switch, thermal shutdown with 25°C hysteresis, and dual-package availability in VSSOP-8 and WSON-8.
Technical Context
The LM5008ASD/NOPB implements a constant-on-time control scheme where on-time varies inversely with VIN (TON = 1.385×10⁻¹⁰ × RT / VIN), enabling near-constant frequency across line and load variations. It operates in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) at light loads and continuous conduction mode (CCM) at heavy loads, with automatic mode transition based on inductor current zero-crossing.
Regulation uses a 2.5-V internal reference compared against FB voltage; overvoltage protection triggers at 2.875 V. Current limiting is implemented via cycle-by-cycle detection at 0.51 A (typ), followed by an RCL- and VFB-dependent off-time generator (35 µs max at VFB = 0 V). The integrated VCC bias regulator provides 7-V gate drive with 9.2-mA current limit and bypass operation below 8.5 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 6 V to 95 V - supports 12 V, 24 V, and 48 V telecom/automotive rails with 100-V absolute max rating. |
| Output Current | 350 mA DC - maximum continuous load capability with integrated 1.25-Ω (typ) 100-V N-MOSFET. |
| Feedback Reference | 2.5 V ±5.5 mV - precision internal reference enabling accurate output programming via RFB1/RFB2 divider. |
| Current Limit Threshold | 0.51 A (typ) at TJ = 25°C - cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection with intelligent off-time scaling vs. VFB. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 165°C activation with 25°C hysteresis - automatic recovery at ~140°C prevents catastrophic failure during overload. |
| VCC Regulator Output | 7 V regulated (VIN > 8.5 V); tracks VIN within 100 mV (VIN < 8.5 V) - powers gate driver with 0.47-µF local decoupling. |
| Minimum On-Time | 400 ns at VIN = 95 V - sets practical upper frequency limit and ensures reliable current limit operation. |
Pinout & Package
LM5008ASD/NOPB is available in 8-pin VSSOP (DGK, 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm) and 8-pin WSON (NGU, 4.0 mm × 4.0 mm) packages, both with exposed thermal pad (WSON only). Pin functions are identical across packages.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 SW | Switching node | Power switching node connecting to inductor, freewheeling diode, and bootstrap capacitor - carries high dv/dt and peak currents. |
| 2 BST | Bootstrap supply input | Input for external 0.01-µF ceramic bootstrap capacitor; charged from VCC during off-time via internal diode. |
| 3 RCL | Current limit off-time set | Resistor-to-ground sets intelligent off-time duration after current limit detection; 35 µs max when FB = 0 V. |
| 4 RTN | Ground reference | Common ground return for internal circuitry, feedback network, and external components - must be low-impedance. |
| 5 FB | Feedback input | Inverting input of regulation comparator referenced to 2.5 V; 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) enables remote shutdown with 110-µA quiescent current. |
| 7 VCC | Bias regulator output | 7-V (regulated) or VIN-tracked (bypass) supply for gate driver; requires 0.47-µF ceramic decoupling to RTN. |
| 8 VIN | Main input supply | Primary power input (6–95 V); supplies internal bias regulator and high-side switch - rated to 100 V abs max. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No loop compensation required | Constant-on-time control eliminates external compensation network - reduces BOM count and design iteration time. |
| Intelligent current limit | Off-time scales inversely with FB voltage (35 µs at short-circuit, shorter at partial overload) - minimizes foldback and improves recovery. |
| Bootstrap pre-charge switch | 150-ns active pre-charge during minimum off-time - maintains BST-SW voltage under light-load/long-off conditions and prevents startup issues. |
| Integrated VCC bias regulator | Self-powered from VIN (6–95 V); bypasses below 8.5 V, regulates at 7 V above - eliminates need for auxiliary bias supply. |
| Thermal shutdown with auto-recovery | Shuts down at 165°C junction temperature; resumes operation at ~140°C - protects against sustained overload without manual reset. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5017MH/NOPB | Higher 100-V input rating, 600-mA output, but requires external MOSFET and loop compensation - larger solution size. | Used where higher output current or adjustable frequency is needed; not drop-in due to different pinout and external FET requirement. | Select LM5017MH/NOPB only when >350 mA load or programmable frequency outweighs integration and simplicity benefits of LM5008ASD/NOPB. |
| TPS54340DDAR | Lower 42-V max input, 3.5-A output, current-mode control with full compensation - optimized for lower-voltage, higher-current apps. | Targeted at 12-V/24-V systems requiring >1 A; incompatible with 48-V+ inputs due to absolute max VIN limitation. | Choose TPS54340DDAR for cost-sensitive 24-V industrial supplies needing >1 A, but avoid for 48-V+ or space-constrained designs where LM5008ASD/NOPB's integration excels. |
Compared with LM5017MH/NOPB and TPS54340DDAR, LM5008ASD/NOPB offers the smallest footprint and lowest component count for ≤350 mA, 6–95 V buck conversion - ideal where board space, design cycle time, and transient performance are prioritized over raw current capacity or frequency flexibility.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for stable operation of the LM5008ASD/NOPB?
The LM5008ASD/NOPB requires a minimum input voltage of 6 V for stable operation, as specified in its recommended operating conditions. Below this threshold, the internal VCC bias regulator cannot maintain sufficient gate drive voltage, and the buck switch may fail to turn on reliably. At 6 V input, the VCC regulator operates in bypass mode, tracking VIN within 100 mV - ensuring functional startup and regulation down to the rated minimum.
How does the LM5008ASD/NOPB achieve constant frequency operation despite varying input voltage?
The LM5008ASD/NOPB achieves near-constant frequency through its constant-on-time (COT) control architecture, where on-time is inversely proportional to VIN (TON = 1.385×10⁻¹⁰ × RT / VIN). As input voltage increases, on-time decreases proportionally, compensating for the higher energy per cycle and stabilizing switching frequency across the 6–95 V input range - eliminating need for loop compensation while maintaining fast transient response.
Can the LM5008ASD/NOPB be used without an external bootstrap capacitor?
No, the LM5008ASD/NOPB requires an external 0.01-µF ceramic capacitor between BST and SW pins. This bootstrap capacitor supplies gate drive voltage to the internal high-side N-MOSFET during the on-time. During off-time, it recharges from VCC via an internal diode. Omitting it causes gate drive failure, resulting in no switching action and loss of regulation - the datasheet explicitly mandates this component for proper operation.
What is the purpose of the RCL pin on the LM5008ASD/NOPB, and how does it affect current limiting?
The RCL pin on the LM5008ASD/NOPB sets the off-time duration following current limit detection. A resistor from RCL to RTN determines the forced off-time, which scales inversely with FB voltage: 35 µs maximum at VFB = 0 V (e.g., output short), decreasing at higher VFB (e.g., partial overload). This intelligent scaling minimizes foldback and accelerates recovery - unlike fixed off-time limiters, it adapts to fault severity while maintaining safe operation up to 95 V input.
Does the LM5008ASD/NOPB support remote shutdown, and what voltage level triggers it?
Yes, the LM5008ASD/NOPB supports remote shutdown via the RT/SD pin. Pulling RT/SD to ground (≤0.7 V) disables both the internal VCC regulator and the buck switch, reducing quiescent current to 110 µA (typ) at VIN = 48 V. The shutdown threshold has 35-mV hysteresis, and the pin also serves as the on-time programming node - requiring careful interface design if both functions are used in the same system.
