Product details
Overview
LM5010AMHE/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a high-voltage 1-A synchronous step-down DC/DC switching regulator with integrated 80-V N-channel buck switch, 6-V to 75-V input range, valley current limit of 1.25 A, and programmable switching frequency up to 1 MHz. It operates in constant ON-time mode, requires no loop compensation, and targets non-isolated telecom and automotive post-regulation applications.
For engineers reviewing the LM5010AMHE/NOPB datasheet, LM5010AMHE/NOPB pinout, LM5010AMHE/NOPB application, or LM5010AMHE/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include its wide-input capability, thermal shutdown at 175°C, 2.5-V ±2% feedback reference, programmable soft-start via SS pin, and compatibility with WSON-10 thermally enhanced package for high-power-density designs.
Technical Context
The LM5010AMHE/NOPB implements a constant ON-time control architecture where tON is inversely proportional to VIN and set by an external resistor on RON/SD, enabling nearly constant operating frequency across line and load variations. Its valley current limit detection occurs during OFF-time using internal 130-mΩ sense resistor between ISEN and SGND.
It integrates a high-voltage bias regulator that supplies VCC: tracking VIN below 8.9 V (±100 mV), regulating at 7 V above 8.9 V, with 15-mA current limit and 5.25-V UVLO. The bootstrap gate driver (BST–SW) supports floating high-side drive with 260-ns minimum OFF-time for capacitor recharge.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 6 V to 75 V - enables direct connection to 48-V telecom or 42-V automotive bus without pre-regulation |
| Output Current | 1 A continuous - supports mid-power point-of-load conversion with thermal derating per RθJA = 36°C/W |
| Switching Frequency | Up to 1 MHz - allows compact magnetics and low output ripple with minimal EMI filtering |
| Current Limit Threshold | 1.25 A (typical) - sets peak inductor current limit during valley-sense OFF-time for overcurrent protection |
| Feedback Reference | 2.5 V ±2% - defines regulated output voltage accuracy via external resistor divider (R1/R2) |
| Soft-Start Current | 11.5 µA (typical) - charges external SS capacitor linearly to 2.5 V, controlling ramp rate of output voltage |
| Thermal Shutdown | 175°C (typical), 20°C hysteresis - disables switching and prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking |
Pinout & Package
LM5010AMHE/NOPB is housed in a 10-pin WSON (DPR) package with 4.00 mm × 4.00 mm body size and exposed thermal pad for enhanced heat dissipation. Pin numbering follows top-view orientation with Pin 1 at bottom-left corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW | Switching node | Internally connected to source of N-channel buck switch; connects to inductor, freewheeling diode, and bootstrap capacitor |
| BST | Bootstrap supply | Provides gate drive voltage for high-side switch via external capacitor between BST and SW |
| VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 6–75 V DC; bypass capacitors must be placed adjacent to VIN and RTN pins |
| VCC | Bias regulator output | Supplies internal circuitry; self-biased (tracks VIN ≤8.9 V) or regulated at 7 V (VIN >8.9 V); requires ≥0.47 µF ceramic cap |
| ISEN | Current sense input | Monitors recirculating inductor current during OFF-time; triggers valley current limit when current exceeds 1.25 A |
| SGND | Sense ground return | Return path for current sense resistor; separate from power ground (RTN) to avoid noise coupling into regulation loop |
| RTN | Power ground | Ground return for all internal circuitry except current sense path; connects to system ground plane |
| FB | Feedback input | Compares output voltage (via resistor divider) to 2.5-V reference; regulates output with ±2% accuracy |
| SS | Soft-start control | Internal 11.5-µA current source ramps voltage to 2.5 V, controlling startup slew rate and limiting inrush current |
| RON/SD | ON-time programming / shutdown | Resistor to VIN sets tON; grounding disables regulator and forces SS to GND |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No loop compensation required | Constant ON-time architecture eliminates need for external compensation network, reducing BOM count and layout sensitivity |
| Ultra-fast transient response | Direct FB-to-switch control path enables sub-microsecond recovery from load steps without phase-margin tuning |
| Integrated 80-V N-channel buck switch | Reduces external component count and PCB area; rated for 75-V max input with RDS(ON) = 0.35 Ω (TJ ≤125°C) |
| Programmable soft-start | External capacitor on SS pin sets startup time; prevents output overshoot and limits inrush into bulk capacitance |
| Exposed thermal pad | Enables low-junction-to-board thermal resistance (RθJB = 13.2°C/W), critical for 1-A operation in compact WSON-10 footprint |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5017MHE/NOPB | Same WSON-10 package, but 100-V input rating, 0.5-A output, and fixed 650-kHz frequency; lacks programmable soft-start | Targeted at higher-input, lower-current applications where 100-V surge immunity is mandatory | Select when input may exceed 75 V or when fixed frequency simplifies EMI design; not suitable for 1-A loads |
| TPS54160DGQ | 60-V max input, 1.5-A output, current-mode control, adjustable frequency (100 kHz–2.5 MHz), no integrated high-side switch | Requires external MOSFET; better suited for designs needing higher output current or tighter current-limit accuracy | Choose when flexibility in MOSFET selection or higher peak current is needed; adds complexity and board area |
Compared with LM5017MHE/NOPB, LM5010AMHE/NOPB delivers higher output current and programmable frequency but lower input voltage margin; versus TPS54160DGQ, it reduces external component count and layout effort at the cost of fixed topology and lower max input.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM5010AMHE/NOPB?
The LM5010AMHE/NOPB has an absolute maximum input voltage (VIN to RTN) rating of 76 V, with recommended operating range from 6 V to 75 V. Exceeding 75 V during normal operation risks violating safe operating area limits; transient spikes up to 76 V are tolerated briefly per absolute maximum ratings, but sustained operation above 75 V is not advised. Always verify input transient protection in automotive or industrial environments where load dump can reach 60–80 V.
Does LM5010AMHE/NOPB require external compensation components?
No, LM5010AMHE/NOPB does not require external compensation components due to its constant ON-time control architecture. The regulation loop stability is inherent to the topology-output voltage is compared directly to the 2.5-V reference, and ON-time is adjusted per cycle without feedback loop phase-margin dependencies. This eliminates compensation capacitors and resistors, simplifying design and improving transient response predictability across input and load variations.
How is the switching frequency programmed on LM5010AMHE/NOPB?
The switching frequency of LM5010AMHE/NOPB is programmed indirectly via the RON resistor connected between VIN and the RON/SD pin. The ON-time (tON) is determined by VIN and RON using tON = 1.18×10⁻¹⁰ × (RON + 1.4 kΩ) / (VIN − 1.4 V) + 67 ns. Since tOFF is fixed at 260 ns, frequency varies with VIN and RON. For example, with RON = 200 kΩ and VIN = 48 V, typical fS ≈ 400 kHz. Full calculation guidance is provided in Section 7.3.5 of the LM5010A datasheet.
What is the purpose of the SGND and RTN pins on LM5010AMHE/NOPB?
LM5010AMHE/NOPB separates sense ground (SGND) from power ground (RTN) to prevent noise from high di/dt recirculating current from corrupting the precision current-sense and feedback paths. SGND carries only the valley current sense return from the internal 130-mΩ resistor, while RTN serves as the main ground return for all other internal circuitry. Proper PCB layout requires routing SGND directly to the ISEN pin and keeping it isolated from noisy power planes-this separation ensures accurate 1.25-A current limit detection and stable 2.5-V feedback regulation.
Can LM5010AMHE/NOPB be used in automotive applications?
Yes, LM5010AMHE/NOPB is qualified for automotive use as part of the LM5010A-Q1 family (AEC-Q100 Grade 1: –40°C to 125°C ambient). While the LM5010AMHE/NOPB itself is the commercial-grade variant, it shares identical electrical specifications, pinout, and WSON-10 package with the Q1 version. For production automotive systems, TI recommends LM5010AQ0RGQR (Grade 0) or LM5010AQ1RGQR (Grade 1); however, LM5010AMHE/NOPB is widely used in automotive prototyping, infotainment accessories, and non-safety-critical body electronics where full AEC-Q100 certification is not mandated.
