Product details
Overview
LM5010ASD/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, 2.5-V ±2% feedback reference, valley current limit at 1.25 A, and programmable switching frequency up to 1 MHz. It enables compact, low-component-count power supplies in automotive and telecom applications requiring robust input voltage tolerance.
For engineers reviewing the LM5010ASD/NOPB datasheet, LM5010ASD/NOPB pinout, LM5010ASD/NOPB application, or LM5010ASD/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include its constant ON-time control architecture (no loop compensation required), thermal shutdown at 175°C, exposed thermal pad for enhanced heat dissipation, and compatibility with external VCC biasing to reduce internal dissipation above 8.9 V.
Technical Context
The LM5010ASD/NOPB implements a constant ON-time regulation scheme where tON is inversely proportional to VIN and set by an external resistor on the RON/SD pin; minimum OFF-time is fixed at 260 ns. Its valley current limit detection operates during the OFF-time via the ISEN–SGND path with 1.25-A threshold and 130-mΩ internal sense resistance.
It integrates a high-voltage bias regulator that tracks VIN below 8.9 V (±100 mV) and regulates VCC at 7 V above that threshold, with UVLO at 5.25 V and 180-mV hysteresis. The FB pin compares against a 2.5-V reference with <1-nA bias current, while an independent 2.9-V overvoltage comparator provides fast fault response.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 6 V to 75 V - supports direct connection to 48-V telecom and 42-V automotive buses without pre-regulation |
| Output Current | 1 A continuous - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and interface ICs in harsh environments |
| Feedback Reference | 2.5 V ±2% - enables precise output voltage setting via external resistor divider (e.g., 3.3 V, 5 V, 12 V) |
| Valley Current Limit | 1.25 A typical - protects against overload and short-circuit with fast response during OFF-time sensing |
| Switching Frequency | Up to 1 MHz - allows use of small inductors and capacitors while maintaining EMI control |
| Buck Switch RDS(ON) | 0.35 Ω typical at TJ ≤125°C - minimizes conduction loss in high-input-voltage step-down conversion |
| Thermal Shutdown | 175°C with 20°C hysteresis - prevents catastrophic failure during sustained overload or poor heatsinking |
Pinout & Package
LM5010ASD/NOPB is housed in a thermally enhanced 10-pin WSON package (4.00 mm × 4.00 mm) with an exposed thermal pad for PCB-level heat transfer.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input supply | Accepts 6–75 V; requires local bypass capacitor between VIN and RTN for stability and noise suppression |
| 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 | Receives recirculating inductor current during OFF-time; used for valley current limit detection |
| SGND | Sense ground | Return path for current-sense circuitry; must be routed separately from power ground to avoid noise coupling |
| RTN | Circuit ground | Ground return for all internal logic and regulation circuits except current-sense path |
| FB | Voltage feedback | Compares output voltage (via resistor divider) to 2.5-V reference; sets regulated output level |
| RON/SD | ON-time control / shutdown | Resistor-to-VIN sets tON; grounding disables regulator and discharges soft-start capacitor |
| SS | Soft-start | Internal 11.5-µA current source charges external capacitor to ramp reference and limit inrush current |
| VCC | Bias regulator output | Provides internal gate drive and control power; self-biased below 8.9 V, regulated at 7 V above |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No loop compensation required | Constant ON-time architecture eliminates need for external compensation network, reducing BOM count and design iteration time |
| Ultra-fast transient response | Direct feedback control with no phase lag from compensation enables rapid recovery from load steps without output droop or overshoot |
| Programmable soft-start | External capacitor on SS pin controls startup slew rate, preventing inrush current and ensuring controlled power-up sequencing |
| Integrated high-voltage bias regulator | Eliminates need for external LDO or charge pump; supports wide input range while enabling external VCC biasing to cut quiescent dissipation |
| Exposed thermal pad | Enables efficient heat transfer to PCB copper; reduces junction-to-board thermal resistance to 3.0°C/W in WSON package |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5164PWPR | Wider 3–100 V input, 0.5-A output, integrated MOSFETs, 2.1-MHz max frequency | Lower output current; better suited for ultra-compact, low-power industrial sensors | Select when input exceeds 75 V or board space is critical; not drop-in due to different pinout and lower current rating |
| TPS54160DGQR | 6–60 V input, 1.5-A output, current-mode control, 2.5-V reference, no integrated high-side FET | Requires external high-side MOSFET; higher output current but larger solution size | Choose when higher peak load current (>1 A) or adjustable current limit is needed; layout differs significantly |
Compared with LM5010ASD/NOPB, LM5164PWPR offers broader input range but lower output capability and different control architecture, while TPS54160DGQR delivers higher current but demands external FET and compensation-neither is pin-compatible, making LM5010ASD/NOPB optimal for 1-A, 6–75 V applications prioritizing integration and thermal performance in WSON.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended input voltage for LM5010ASD/NOPB?
The absolute maximum input voltage for LM5010ASD/NOPB is 75 V, with recommended operation spanning 6 V to 75 V. Operation beyond 75 V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings. The device maintains stable regulation across this full range, including automotive load-dump events up to 75 V, and is validated for such conditions in the LM5010A-Q1 automotive variant.
Does LM5010ASD/NOPB require external compensation components?
No, LM5010ASD/NOPB does not require external compensation components. Its constant ON-time control architecture eliminates the need for loop compensation networks, simplifying design and improving transient response. Stability is inherently maintained across line and load variations without adding resistors or capacitors to the feedback path.
How is the switching frequency set on LM5010ASD/NOPB?
The switching frequency of LM5010ASD/NOPB is set indirectly via the RON resistor connected between VIN and the RON/SD pin. The ON-time (tON) is determined by VIN and RON, while the OFF-time is fixed at 260 ns; thus, fS ≈ 1/(tON + 260 ns). For example, with VIN = 48 V and RON = 200 kΩ, tON ≈ 340 ns and fS ≈ 1.7 MHz - though practical upper limit is 1 MHz per datasheet specification.
Can LM5010ASD/NOPB operate with an external bias applied to the VCC pin?
Yes, LM5010ASD/NOPB supports external biasing of the VCC pin with 7.5–14 V to disable the internal bias regulator and reduce power dissipation when VIN exceeds 8.9 V. An external diode must be used to prevent backfeed, and the internal VCC regulator automatically shuts off when external voltage is present, as confirmed in Section 7.3.2 of the datasheet.
What is the purpose of the SGND and RTN pins on LM5010ASD/NOPB?
LM5010ASD/NOPB separates sense ground (SGND) and circuit ground (RTN) to isolate the high-noise current-sense path from sensitive regulation circuitry. SGND carries recirculating inductor current during OFF-time for accurate valley current limit detection, while RTN serves as the reference for FB, SS, and internal logic. Routing them separately prevents noise coupling and ensures stable regulation and reliable current limiting.
