Product details
Overview
LM5010AQ0MHX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a high-voltage 1-A synchronous step-down switching regulator with integrated 80-V N-channel buck switch, valley current limit of 1.25 A, programmable switching frequency up to 1 MHz, and 6-V to 75-V input range. It operates in constant ON-time mode, requires no loop compensation, and targets automotive post-regulation and telecom bias supply applications.
For engineers reviewing the LM5010AQ0MHX/NOPB datasheet, LM5010AQ0MHX/NOPB pinout, LM5010AQ0MHX/NOPB application, or LM5010AQ0MHX/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualification (–40°C to 150°C), exposed thermal pad WSON-10 package, 2.5-V ±2% feedback reference, and RON/SD-controlled shutdown and ON-time programming.
Technical Context
The LM5010AQ0MHX/NOPB implements a constant ON-time control architecture where tON is inversely proportional to VIN and set by an external resistor on the RON/SD pin. It features valley current limiting at 1.25 A, fixed 260-ns minimum OFF-time, and internal 7-V VCC bias regulator with bypass threshold at 8.9 V.
Its functional block integrates a bootstrap gate driver for the N-channel buck switch, dual comparators for regulation (2.5 V) and overvoltage protection (2.9 V), soft-start via 11.5-µA internal current source, and thermal shutdown at 175°C with 20°C hysteresis - all in a single WSON-10 package with exposed thermal pad.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 6 V to 75 V - supports direct connection to 42-V automotive and 48-V telecom bus without pre-regulation |
| Output Current | 1 A continuous - sufficient for biasing microcontrollers, sensors, and interface ICs in harsh environments |
| Switching Frequency | Up to 1 MHz - enables compact magnetics and low-profile output filtering |
| Current Limit Threshold | 1.25 A (valley detection) - provides robust short-circuit protection while maintaining stable regulation under transient loads |
| Feedback Reference | 2.5 V ±2% - enables precise output voltage setting via external resistor divider (e.g., 3.3 V, 5 V, 12 V) |
| Thermal Shutdown | 175°C with 20°C hysteresis - prevents catastrophic failure during overload or poor heatsinking |
| VCC Regulator | 7 V regulated (VIN > 8.9 V); tracks VIN below 8.9 V - eliminates need for external bias supply in most designs |
Pinout & Package
LM5010AQ0MHX/NOPB is housed in a thermally enhanced 10-pin WSON package (4.00 mm × 4.00 mm) with exposed thermal pad for PCB-level 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 | Supplies gate drive voltage for high-side switch via external capacitor between BST and SW |
| ISEN | Current sense input | Monitors recirculating inductor current during OFF-time to enable valley current limiting at 1.25 A |
| SGND | Sense ground | Return path for current sense resistor; must be routed separately from power ground to avoid noise coupling |
| RTN | Circuit ground | Ground return for internal control circuitry; tied to system ground but kept distinct from SGND |
| FB | Feedback input | Compares output voltage (via resistor divider) against 2.5-V reference; regulates output within ±2% |
| SS | Soft-start control | Charged by 11.5-µA internal current source to ramp reference and limit inrush current during startup |
| RON/SD | ON-time & shutdown | Resistor-to-VIN sets tON; grounding disables regulator and discharges SS capacitor |
| VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 6–75 V DC; requires local ceramic bypass capacitor near pin |
| VCC | Bias regulator output | Provides internal gate drive and logic power; self-biased up to 7 V or externally supplied (7.5–14 V) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualification | Rated for –40°C to +150°C ambient operation - suitable for under-hood automotive electronics |
| No loop compensation required | Constant ON-time architecture eliminates external compensation network - reduces BOM count and design iteration time |
| Integrated 80-V N-channel buck switch | Eliminates need for external high-voltage MOSFET and gate driver - simplifies layout and improves reliability |
| Exposed thermal pad (WSON-10) | Enables <3 °C/W junction-to-board thermal resistance - supports 1-A continuous load without heatsink in typical 2-layer PCB |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5164QDRCRQ1 | Wider 3–100 V input, 0.5-A output, integrated FET, but uses current-mode control requiring compensation | Lower output current; suited for lower-power domains like sensor hubs or CAN nodes | Select when input exceeds 75 V or when tighter current-limit accuracy (<±5%) is required |
| TPS54160AQPWPRQ1 | 6–60 V input, 1.5-A output, external FET drive, adjustable frequency, but no integrated switch | Requires external MOSFET and gate driver; higher solution size and complexity | Select when higher peak current (>1.25 A) or programmable slope compensation is needed |
Compared with LM5010AQ0MHX/NOPB, LM5164QDRCRQ1 offers extended input range but reduced output capability and added compensation overhead, while TPS54160AQPWPRQ1 delivers higher current at the cost of increased component count and layout sensitivity - making LM5010AQ0MHX/NOPB optimal for space-constrained 1-A automotive/industrial buck applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for LM5010AQ0MHX/NOPB?
The LM5010AQ0MHX/NOPB has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 76 V (VIN to RTN), with recommended operation from 6 V to 75 V. Exceeding 75 V risks violating safe operating area limits and may trigger overvoltage stress on internal structures. The device's 80-V rated N-channel switch supports this margin, but sustained operation above 75 V is not advised per TI's recommended conditions.
Does LM5010AQ0MHX/NOPB require external compensation components?
No, LM5010AQ0MHX/NOPB does not require external compensation components. Its constant ON-time control architecture eliminates the need for loop compensation networks. Stability is inherently maintained across line and load variations, simplifying design and reducing bill-of-materials cost compared to voltage-mode or current-mode controllers.
How is the switching frequency programmed on LM5010AQ0MHX/NOPB?
The switching frequency of LM5010AQ0MHX/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, and frequency varies inversely with VIN. For example, with RON = 200 kΩ, tON ranges from 290 ns (VIN = 75 V) to 2.75 µs (VIN = 10 V), yielding frequencies up to ~1 MHz at high VIN and light loads.
What is the purpose of the SGND and RTN pins on LM5010AQ0MHX/NOPB?
LM5010AQ0MHX/NOPB separates signal sensing (SGND) from main circuit ground (RTN) to prevent noise from high-current recirculation paths from corrupting the precision 2.5-V feedback reference. SGND carries only the current-sense return, while RTN serves as the ground reference for VCC, FB, SS, and internal logic - proper separation is essential for stable regulation and accurate current limiting.
Is LM5010AQ0MHX/NOPB pin-compatible with standard LM5010A variants?
Yes, LM5010AQ0MHX/NOPB shares identical pinout, package dimensions (WSON-10), and electrical specifications with non-automotive LM5010A variants in the same package. However, it is qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 0 (–40°C to +150°C ambient), includes enhanced ESD robustness (HBM ±2000 V, CDM ±750 V), and undergoes additional automotive-specific testing - making it a drop-in replacement where automotive reliability is required.
