Product details
Overview
LM5009SDCX from Texas Instruments is a wide-input, non-synchronous buck switching regulator with integrated 100-V N-channel MOSFET, delivering up to 150 mA output current across 9.5 V to 95 V input range, featuring 2.5-V ±2% feedback reference over –40°C to +125°C and no external loop compensation required. It enables compact, high-efficiency bias supplies in telecom, industrial, and LED driver applications.
For engineers reviewing the LM5009SDCX datasheet, LM5009SDCX pinout, LM5009SDCX application, or LM5009SDCX equivalent, key selection criteria include its VIN-referenced on-time control architecture, intelligent current limit with VOUT-dependent off-time, thermal shutdown at 165°C, and dual-package availability (VSSOP-8/WSON-8) for thermal optimization.
Technical Context
The LM5009SDCX implements a constant-frequency buck topology using an on-time inversely proportional to VIN, eliminating need for external compensation while enabling ultra-fast transient response. Its control scheme operates in both continuous and discontinuous conduction modes, with frequency stability maintained via VIN feedforward and minimum off-time timer (300 ns).
It integrates a high-voltage startup regulator (7.0 V ±0.4 V, 9.5 mA current-limited), gate drive UVLO (4.5 V threshold), and dual protection comparators: regulation comparator (2.5 V trip) and overvoltage comparator (2.875 V trip). Current limiting uses forced off-time inversely proportional to FB voltage, ensuring short-circuit robustness without foldback.
Key Specifications

| 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) - low conduction loss with integrated 100-V N-MOSFET, reducing BOM count vs discrete solutions |
| Current Limit Threshold | 0.31 A (typ) - protects against overload and short-circuit with intelligent off-time scaling based on FB voltage |
| Thermal Shutdown | 165°C with 25°C hysteresis - prevents catastrophic failure during sustained overload or poor heatsinking |
| Startup Regulator | 7.0 V ±0.4 V, 9.5 mA - powers internal circuitry directly from VIN up to 95 V, eliminating need for auxiliary supply |
Pinout & Package
LM5009SDCX is available in thermally enhanced 8-pin WSON package (4.00 mm × 4.00 mm, exposed pad) optimized for high-voltage, high-temperature operation. The exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal performance (RθJB = 20.1°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW | Switching Output | Drives external inductor and recirculating diode; connects to BST capacitor; handles 100-V peak swing |
| BST | Bootstrap Supply | Charged from VCC via internal diode; supplies floating gate drive for N-MOSFET; requires 0.022-µF ceramic cap to SW |
| RCL | Current Limit Off-Time Set | Resistor-to-ground sets off-time duration inversely proportional to FB voltage - ensures safe short-circuit recovery |
| FB | Feedback Input | Connects to resistor divider; 2.5-V reference enables output programming; <1 nA bias current minimizes divider error |
| RTN | Ground Reference | Common return for all internal circuits; must be low-impedance connection to system ground |
| RON/SD | On-Time Set / Shutdown | Resistor-to-VIN sets on-time; pulled low disables regulator - enables remote enable/disable without additional logic |
| VCC | Internal Regulator Output | 7.0-V regulated supply for gate drive and control; shuts down if externally biased >8 V - reduces dissipation at high VIN |
| VIN | Main Input | Accepts 9.5–95 V DC; withstands 100-V transients; powers startup regulator and provides on-time reference |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5009MMX | VSSOP-8 package (3.00 mm × 3.00 mm); higher RθJA (157.7°C/W) vs WSON-8 (42.8°C/W) | Better suited for low-power, space-constrained layouts where thermal load is moderate | Select LM5009MMX when board area is critical and ambient temperature remains below 60°C |
| LM5163HWRX | Synchronous 0.5-A buck; lower quiescent current (15 µA); integrated high-side/low-side FETs | Higher efficiency at light loads; supports wider duty cycle range; requires different layout and compensation | Choose LM5163HWRX for new designs needing >90% efficiency at 10–100 mA or reduced solution size |
Compared with LM5009SDCX, LM5009MMX offers identical electrical functionality in a smaller footprint but inferior thermal performance, while LM5163HWRX delivers higher current and synchronous operation at the cost of increased complexity and different design rules - making LM5009SDCX optimal for ruggedized, high-input, medium-current bias applications where simplicity and transient robustness are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM5009SDCX?
The LM5009SDCX has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 100 V, with recommended operating range from 9.5 V to 95 V. This allows safe operation in 48-V telecom systems with 100-V surge immunity and rectified 230-VAC applications where peak DC voltage reaches ~325 V - only with appropriate external clamping or pre-regulation. The device's internal 100-V N-MOSFET and startup regulator are designed for this extended range.
Does LM5009SDCX require external compensation components?
No, LM5009SDCX does not require external compensation components. Its constant-on-time control architecture, with on-time inversely proportional to VIN, inherently stabilizes the control loop across line and load variations. This eliminates the need for compensation capacitors or resistors - reducing bill-of-materials count, PCB area, and design validation effort while delivering ultra-fast transient response.
How does the current limit protection work in LM5009SDCX?
The LM5009SDCX implements intelligent current limit protection using a forced off-time generator whose duration is inversely proportional to FB voltage. When switch current exceeds 0.31 A, the on-time pulse terminates immediately and an off-time timer activates. At FB = 0 V (e.g., output short), off-time is fixed at 35 µs; at higher FB voltages (e.g., overload), off-time decreases - minimizing foldback and enabling faster recovery. This scheme ensures robust short-circuit protection without external sensing components.
Can LM5009SDCX operate without an external bootstrap capacitor?
No, LM5009SDCX cannot operate without an external bootstrap capacitor. A 0.022-µF ceramic capacitor is required between BST and SW pins to provide gate drive voltage for the internal N-channel MOSFET. During each off-time, the capacitor recharges from VCC through an internal diode. Omitting this capacitor causes gate drive failure, resulting in no switching action and potential thermal damage - the datasheet explicitly mandates this component for functional operation.
What is the purpose of the RON/SD pin on LM5009SDCX?
The RON/SD pin on LM5009SDCX serves dual functions: it sets the switch on-time via a resistor to VIN (RON), and acts as a remote shutdown input. Pulling RON/SD to ground disables the regulator, reducing shutdown current to 76–150 µA. The pin's rising threshold is 0.4–1.05 V, allowing direct interface with microcontroller GPIOs or optocouplers. This dual role simplifies system-level enable control while maintaining precise frequency programming without additional pins.
