Product details
Overview
LM5008MMX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 95-V, 350-mA constant on-time (COT) buck switching regulator with integrated 100-V N-channel MOSFET, internal 7-V VCC series regulator, and no-loop-compensation architecture. It delivers regulated DC output from 9.5–95 V input in compact VSSOP-8 packaging, supporting automotive 48-V systems, telecom secondary regulators, and industrial high-voltage post-regulation.
For engineers reviewing the LM5008MMX/NOPB datasheet, LM5008MMX/NOPB pinout, LM5008MMX/NOPB application, or LM5008MMX/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.51-A current limit threshold, 2.5-V FB reference, 300-ns minimum off-time, adjustable on-time via RON resistor, and thermal shutdown at 165°C - all critical for high-input-voltage buck design validation and reliability assurance.
Technical Context
The LM5008MMX/NOPB implements a hysteretic constant-on-time control scheme where on-time varies inversely with VIN (TON = 1.25×10⁻¹⁰ × RON / VIN), enabling near-constant switching frequency across 9.5–95 V input and load variations. Its discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) operation at light loads maintains efficiency by reducing switching losses.
Regulation relies on a 2.5-V internal reference comparator monitoring FB voltage, while an independent 2.875-V overvoltage comparator terminates on-time immediately if FB exceeds threshold. Current limiting uses an intelligent off-timer (TOFF = 10⁻⁵ / (0.285 + (FB / 6.35×10⁻⁶ × RCL))) set by RCL and FB, providing graded foldback during overload versus hard short-circuit protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 9.5 V to 95 V - supports wide-range industrial/automotive rails including 48-V systems and telecom -48-V derived supplies. |
| Output Current | 350 mA DC - maximum continuous load capability with integrated 100-V N-MOSFET and thermal derating up to 125°C junction. |
| Feedback Reference | 2.5 V ±55 mV - precise internal reference enabling accurate output regulation via external resistor divider (VOUT = 2.5 × (R1+R2)/R2). |
| Current Limit Threshold | 0.51 A (typ) at 25°C - protects switch during overload; triggers intelligent off-timer with FB-dependent duration (35 µs at FB=0 V). |
| Minimum Off-Time | 300 ns - ensures bootstrap capacitor recharge between cycles and enables stable operation at high VIN and low VOUT. |
| VCC Regulator Output | 7 V ±0.4 V - powers gate driver and internal circuitry; shuts down when externally biased above 7 V to reduce dissipation. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 165°C with 25°C hysteresis - disables switch and VCC regulator until junction cools to ~140°C, preventing catastrophic failure. |
Pinout & Package
LM5008MMX/NOPB is supplied in an 8-pin VSSOP package (3.00 mm × 3.00 mm) with exposed pad not electrically connected; thermal performance optimized via PCB ground plane connection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 SW | Switching node | Power switching node connecting to inductor, recirculating diode, and bootstrap capacitor; carries pulsed high-current path. |
| 2 BST | Bootstrap supply | Input to floating gate driver; requires 0.01-µF ceramic cap to SW for high-side N-MOSFET drive during on-time. |
| 3 RCL | Current limit off-time set | Resistor-to-ground sets intelligent off-time duration during current limit; formula TOFF = 10⁻⁵/(0.285 + (FB/6.35×10⁻⁶×RCL)). |
| 4 RTN | Ground reference | Common return for feedback, current limit, and shutdown circuits; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 5 FB | Feedback input | Inverting input of regulation comparator; compares output voltage (via resistor divider) against 2.5-V reference for closed-loop control. |
| 6 RON/SD | On-time set / shutdown | Resistor-to-VIN sets on-time (TON ∝ RON/VIN); pulled low (<0.7 V) forces shutdown with 76-µA quiescent current. |
| 7 VCC | Internal bias rail | 7-V regulated output powering gate driver and logic; current-limited to 9.5 mA; internal diode connects to BST for bootstrap charging. |
| 8 VIN | Main input supply | High-voltage input (9.5–95 V); powers internal start-up regulator and switch; absolute max rating 100 V transient. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5164QDPRRQ1 | Automotive-grade (AEC-Q100), 100-V input, 500-mA output, current-mode control requiring compensation. | Requires external loop compensation; higher output current but larger solution size due to added components. | Choose for automotive safety-critical systems needing AEC-Q100 qualification and higher load capability. |
| MAX17690ATP+ | 65-V input, 400-mA output, constant-on-time control, integrated high-side FET, but no VCC regulator. | Lacks internal VCC LDO - requires external bias or bootstrap management; narrower input range limits use in 95-V telecom. | Prefer for cost-sensitive industrial applications below 65 V where external bias is available and layout simplicity is secondary. |
Compared with LM5008MMX/NOPB, LM5164QDPRRQ1 offers automotive qualification and higher current but adds compensation complexity, while MAX17690ATP+ provides similar COT simplicity but sacrifices 95-V capability and integrated VCC regulation - making LM5008MMX/NOPB optimal for non-automotive 95-V applications demanding minimal external parts and self-biased operation.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LM5008MMX/NOPB?
The LM5008MMX/NOPB has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 100 V, with recommended operating range from 9.5 V to 95 V. This 95-V upper limit ensures reliable operation under sustained high-line conditions and accommodates common telecom and industrial supply rails, while the 100-V transient rating handles short-duration surges such as load dump or lightning-induced spikes without damage.
Does the LM5008MMX/NOPB require external compensation components?
No, the LM5008MMX/NOPB does not require external compensation components. Its constant-on-time (COT) hysteretic control architecture eliminates the need for loop compensation networks, reducing bill-of-materials count and simplifying design. Regulation is achieved through direct comparison of FB voltage to the internal 2.5-V reference, with on-time dynamically adjusted per cycle based on VIN and RON - enabling stable operation across input and load variations without stability analysis.
How is the output voltage set on the LM5008MMX/NOPB?
The output voltage of the LM5008MMX/NOPB is set using an external resistor divider connected to the FB pin. The internal 2.5-V reference is compared to the divided output voltage, so VOUT = 2.5 × (R1 + R2) / R2, where R1 connects from VOUT to FB and R2 connects from FB to ground. This configuration allows precise adjustment of output voltage across the full operating range while maintaining regulation accuracy within ±2.2% over temperature and line variations.
What is the purpose of the RCL pin on the LM5008MMX/NOPB?
The RCL pin on the LM5008MMX/NOPB sets the off-time duration during current-limit events using an external resistor to ground. When the internal 0.51-A current limit is exceeded, the switch turns off and initiates a non-resettable off-timer whose duration depends on both RCL value and FB voltage: TOFF = 10⁻⁵ / (0.285 + (FB / 6.35×10⁻⁶ × RCL)). At FB = 0 V (e.g., output short), TOFF defaults to 35 µs; at higher FB, TOFF decreases, enabling faster recovery from moderate overloads while preserving protection during hard shorts.
Can the LM5008MMX/NOPB operate with zero load current?
No, the LM5008MMX/NOPB requires a minimum load current of 1 mA to maintain proper operation. Below this threshold, the bootstrap capacitor may discharge during extended off-times, causing gate drive failure and erratic switching or shutdown. If the application expects sub-mA loads, the feedback resistor divider must be sized to draw ≥1 mA at nominal VOUT - for example, using R1+R2 ≤ VOUT / 1 mA - ensuring continuous bootstrap recharge and stable regulation.
