Product details
Overview
LM5009MMX from Texas Instruments is a wide-input, non-synchronous buck switching regulator with integrated 100-V N-channel MOSFET, 150-mA output current capability, 2.5-V ±2% feedback reference over –40°C to +125°C, and operation from 9.5 V to 95 V input. It delivers stable DC/DC conversion in high-voltage industrial power supplies and LED current sources.
For engineers reviewing the LM5009MMX datasheet, LM5009MMX pinout, LM5009MMX application, or LM5009MMX equivalent, key selection considerations include its no-loop-compensation control architecture, VIN feedforward frequency stability, intelligent current limit with VOUT-dependent off-time, thermal shutdown at 165°C, and dual-package availability (VSSOP-8 and WSON-8).
Technical Context
The LM5009MMX employs a constant-on-time control scheme where on-time is inversely proportional to VIN, enabling stable switching frequency across input and load variations without external compensation. Its internal 7-V startup regulator powers gate drive circuitry and shuts down when externally biased above 7 V, reducing dissipation in high-VIN applications.
Current limiting uses a forced off-time generator whose duration scales inversely with FB voltage-35 µs at short-circuit (FB = 0 V) and as low as 2.56 µs at nominal regulation (FB = 2.3 V)-ensuring robust short-circuit protection with minimal foldback. The device integrates a bootstrap gate driver requiring a 0.022-µF BST–SW capacitor and relies on an external ultra-fast or Schottky recirculating diode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 9.5 V to 95 V - supports rectified 12-V/24-V/36-V/48-V AC mains and telecom bus rails without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 150 mA - sufficient for biasing downstream ICs, sensors, or driving LED strings in non-isolated topologies. |
| Feedback Reference | 2.5 V ±2% from –40°C to +125°C - enables precise output setting from 2.5 V to 85 V using resistor divider. |
| Switch RDS(on) | 2.0 Ω (typ) - limits conduction loss at 150-mA load; requires external Schottky diode for recirculation. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 165°C with 25°C hysteresis - disables switch until junction cools to ~140°C, preventing catastrophic failure. |
| Startup Regulator | 7.0 V ±0.4 V, 9.5 mA current limit - self-biases gate drive; bypassable with external 8–14 V supply to reduce dissipation. |
| Min Off-Time | 300 ns - ensures reliable bootstrap capacitor recharge and prevents shoot-through during light-load DCM. |
Pinout & Package
LM5009MMX is supplied in an 8-pin VSSOP package (3.00 mm × 3.00 mm) with exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected). Pin functions are validated per TI SNVS402I Rev. I (May 2021).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (Pin 1) | Switching node output | Connects to inductor, recirculating diode cathode, and BST capacitor; carries full switching current and voltage stress up to 100 V. |
| BST (Pin 2) | Bootstrap supply | Drives high-side gate via external 0.022-µF ceramic capacitor between BST and SW; internal diode charges it from VCC during off-time. |
| RCL (Pin 3) | Current limit off-time set | Resistor to RTN sets off-time duration inversely proportional to FB voltage - 35 µs at short-circuit, shorter under overload. |
| FB (Pin 5) | Feedback input | Compares output voltage (via resistor divider) to 2.5-V internal reference; <1 nA bias current enables high-impedance sensing. |
| RTN (Pin 4) | Power ground | Common return for all internal circuits and external components; must be low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane. |
| RON/SD (Pin 6) | On-time set / shutdown | Resistor to VIN sets on-time; pulled low (<0.7 V) disables regulator - provides remote enable/disable with hysteresis. |
| VCC (Pin 7) | Internal regulator output | 7.0-V regulated supply for gate drive and control logic; can be externally biased (8–14 V) to disable internal regulator and reduce power loss. |
| VIN (Pin 8) | Main input supply | Accepts 9.5–95 V DC; withstands 100-V transients; powers internal startup regulator and high-voltage circuitry. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No loop compensation required | Constant-on-time control eliminates need for external compensation network - reduces BOM count and design iteration time. |
| VIN feedforward frequency stability | On-time inversely proportional to VIN maintains ~constant switching frequency across 9.5–95 V input range - simplifies EMI filtering. |
| Intelligent current limit protection | Off-time scales with FB voltage - 35 µs at short-circuit, sub-3 µs under mild overload - minimizes foldback and improves recovery. |
| Ultra-fast transient response | No compensation + fixed on-time architecture enables immediate correction of load steps - critical for sensor bias and LED current regulation. |
| Thermally enhanced packaging | VSSOP-8 with exposed pad (DGK) offers 42.8°C/W RθJA - enables 150-mA operation without heatsink in compact industrial layouts. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LM5009MMX?
The LM5009MMX has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 100 V, with recommended continuous operation from 9.5 V to 95 V. This 100-V transient rating allows safe use in 48-V telecom and 42-V automotive systems subject to load-dump events. The internal N-channel buck switch and startup regulator are fully rated for this voltage range, and the LM5009MMX datasheet specifies 100-V capability in Section 6.1 Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Does the LM5009MMX require external compensation components?
No, the LM5009MMX does not require external compensation components. Its constant-on-time control architecture - where on-time is inversely proportional to VIN - eliminates the need for loop compensation networks. This feature is explicitly stated in the "Features" section and verified in Section 7.3.1 of the LM5009MMX datasheet (SNVS402I), enabling faster transient response and simplified design. The LM5009MMX achieves regulation solely through FB feedback and RON/RCL resistor programming.
What package type is used for the LM5009MMX part number?
LM5009MMX uses the 8-pin VSSOP package (TI package code DGK), measuring 3.00 mm × 3.00 mm with an exposed thermal pad. This is confirmed in the "Device Information" table and Section 12 of the LM5009MMX datasheet (SNVS402I), which lists LM5009MMX as the VSSOP-8 orderable variant. The WSON-8 (NGU) variant is designated LM5009SDX; LM5009MMX is exclusively VSSOP.
How does the LM5009MMX implement current limit protection?
The LM5009MMX implements intelligent current limit protection using a forced off-time generator whose duration is inversely proportional to FB voltage: 35 µs at short-circuit (FB = 0 V) and as low as 2.56 µs at nominal regulation (FB = 2.3 V). This scheme ensures robust short-circuit survival while minimizing foldback during overload. The current limit threshold is 0.31 A (typ), with blanking for 50–70 ns after turn-on to avoid false triggering - details are specified in Sections 6.5 and 7.3.6 of the LM5009MMX datasheet.
Can the LM5009MMX operate without an external recirculating diode?
No, the LM5009MMX cannot operate without an external recirculating diode. As a non-synchronous buck regulator, it integrates only the high-side N-channel MOSFET switch and requires an external ultra-fast or Schottky diode (D1) connected from SW to output ground to provide inductor current path during switch-off. This requirement is clearly shown in all typical application schematics (e.g., Figure 8-1) and described in Section 7.3.7 of the LM5009MMX datasheet. Omitting D1 will cause catastrophic failure.
