Product details
Overview
LM5008SD from Texas Instruments is a 95-V input, 350-mA constant-on-time buck switching regulator with integrated 100-V N-channel MOSFET, internal 7-V VCC regulator, and programmable current-limit off-time. It delivers regulated DC output in non-isolated telecom and automotive post-regulation applications with no loop compensation required.
For engineers reviewing the LM5008SD datasheet, LM5008SD pinout, LM5008SD application, or LM5008SD equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (9.5–95 V), FB reference (2.5 V), minimum off-time (300 ns), thermal shutdown threshold (165°C), and RON/SD dual-function pin for on-time setting and remote shutdown.
Technical Context
The LM5008SD uses a hysteretic constant-on-time (COT) control architecture where on-time varies inversely with VIN via external RON, enabling near-constant frequency across line and load variations. Its regulation relies on a 2.5-V internal reference compared against FB voltage, with overvoltage protection triggered at 2.875 V.
Current limiting employs an intelligent off-timer whose duration depends on both RCL resistor value and FB voltage-preset to 35 µs at short-circuit (FB = 0 V) and scaling down under partial overload. The bootstrap gate driver supports high-side N-MOSFET operation using a 0.01-µF BST–SW capacitor and requires ≥300 ns minimum off-time for reliable recharge.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 9.5 V to 95 V - supports wide-range industrial and telecom rails including 48-V systems with transient tolerance up to 100 V. |
| Output Current | 350 mA DC - maximum continuous load capability with integrated 100-V N-MOSFET and RDS(on) = 1.15 Ω (typ) at 25°C. |
| Feedback Reference | 2.5 V - precision internal reference used to regulate output via external resistor divider; bias current ≤100 nA. |
| Minimum Off-Time | 300 ns - ensures sufficient time for BST capacitor recharge and defines lowest operating frequency boundary. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 165°C with 25°C hysteresis - automatically disables switch and VCC regulator to prevent junction damage; resumes at ~140°C. |
| Current Limit Threshold | 0.51 A (typ) at 25°C - triggers forced off-time scaled by RCL and FB voltage to maintain short-circuit safety without excessive foldback. |
| VCC Regulator | 7 V ±0.4 V - powers internal gate driver and logic; internally current-limited to 9.5 mA; shuts down if externally biased above 7 V. |
Pinout & Package
LM5008SD is available in thermally enhanced 8-pin WSON (NGU) package (4.00 mm × 4.00 mm) with exposed pad connected to system ground for improved thermal performance (RθJA = 42°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 SW | Switching node | Power switching output connected to inductor, freewheeling diode, and BST capacitor; handles full pulsed current. |
| 2 BST | Bootstrap supply | Input to floating gate driver; requires 0.01-µF ceramic cap to SW; charged via internal diode from VCC during off-time. |
| 3 RCL | Current limit off-time set | Resistor-to-RTN sets intelligent off-time duration; scales from 35 µs (short-circuit) down as FB rises. |
| 4 RTN | Ground reference | Common return for feedback, current limit, and shutdown circuits; must be low-impedance connection to system ground. |
| 5 FB | Feedback input | Inverting input of regulation comparator; compares output voltage (via resistor divider) to 2.5-V reference. |
| 6 RON/SD | On-time set / shutdown | Resistor-to-VIN sets on-time inversely proportional to VIN; pulled low (<0.7 V) enables remote shutdown mode. |
| 7 VCC | Bias supply output | Internally regulated 7-V rail powering gate driver and control logic; decoupled with 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor. |
| 8 VIN | Main input supply | High-voltage input (9.5–95 V); powers internal startup regulator and supplies energy to buck stage. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No loop compensation required | Hysteretic COT control eliminates need for external compensation network, reducing BOM count and design iteration time. |
| Intelligent current limit protection | Off-time dynamically adjusted by RCL and FB voltage - ensures robust short-circuit handling while minimizing foldback during moderate overloads. |
| Ultra-fast transient response | Fixed on-time + hysteretic regulation enables immediate reaction to load steps without phase-margin concerns or stability tuning. |
| Integrated 100-V N-channel buck switch | Reduces solution size and component count; eliminates external high-voltage MOSFET and associated gate drive complexity. |
| Self-biased VCC option | VCC pin accepts auxiliary 8–14 V supply to disable internal series regulator, lowering power dissipation in high-VIN applications. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for reliable startup of the LM5008SD?
The LM5008SD requires a minimum input voltage of 9.5 V to initiate startup. Below this level, the internal VCC regulator cannot reach its 6.3-V undervoltage lockout threshold, preventing activation of the buck switch. This specification is verified across –40°C to 125°C junction temperature and confirmed in Section 6.3 of the official LM5008SD datasheet.
How does the LM5008SD implement remote shutdown functionality?
The LM5008SD implements remote shutdown via the RON/SD pin: pulling this pin below 0.7 V (with hysteresis of 35 mV) disables both the internal VCC regulator and buck switch, reducing quiescent current to 76 µA (typ). This function is electrically distinct from on-time programming and operates independently of RON resistor value, as documented in Section 7.3.5 and Table 6.5 of the LM5008SD datasheet.
Can the LM5008SD operate without an external bootstrap capacitor?
No, the LM5008SD cannot operate without an external 0.01-µF ceramic capacitor between BST and SW pins. This capacitor supplies gate drive voltage to the internal N-channel MOSFET during the on-time; absence causes immediate gate drive failure and switch malfunction. The minimum 300 ns off-time is specifically designed to ensure adequate recharge of this capacitor, as specified in Section 7.3.7 of the LM5008SD datasheet.
What is the purpose of the RCL pin on the LM5008SD, and how does it affect protection behavior?
The RCL pin on the LM5008SD sets the duration of the forced off-time during current-limit events. Connected to RTN via a resistor, it determines off-time using the formula Toff = 10–5 / (0.285 + (FB / 6.35×10–6 × RCL)). At FB = 0 V (e.g., output short), off-time is fixed at 35 µs; as FB rises, off-time decreases proportionally-reducing foldback and improving recovery. This behavior is confirmed in Section 7.3.6 and Table 6.5 of the LM5008SD datasheet.
Does the LM5008SD require output capacitor ESR for stable regulation, and why?
Yes, the LM5008SD requires a minimum ESR in the output capacitor to generate sufficient ripple voltage (25–50 mV peak-to-peak at FB) for proper hysteretic regulation. Without it, the feedback comparator lacks the necessary AC signal to trigger on-time pulses reliably. If low-ESR ceramics are used, a small series resistor (R3 in Figure 7) must be added to restore required ripple, as explicitly stated in Section 7.3.1 of the LM5008SD datasheet.
