Product details
Overview
LM5010MH/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a high-voltage 1-A synchronous step-down switching regulator with integrated 75-V N-channel buck switch, valley current limit at 1.25 A, constant ON-time control architecture, and precision 2.5-V feedback reference. It operates from 8 V to 75 V input and delivers regulated output in telecom POL, automotive post-regulation, and industrial bias supply applications.
For engineers reviewing the LM5010MH/NOPB datasheet, LM5010MH/NOPB pinout, LM5010MH/NOPB application, or LM5010MH/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (8–75 V), valley current limit (1.25 A), thermal shutdown threshold (175°C), soft-start current source (11.5 µA), and BST-to-SW voltage rating (14 V).
Technical Context
The LM5010MH/NOPB implements a constant ON-time hysteretic control scheme where tON varies inversely with VIN-enabling stable switching frequency across line and load variations without loop compensation. Its valley current limit detection monitors recirculating current via ISEN/SGND path, triggering OFF-time extension when current exceeds 1.25 A.
Startup is managed by an internal 7-V regulator (VCC) with 5.8-V UVLO and 140-Ω output impedance; bootstrap gate drive (BST–SW) relies on a 0.022-µF capacitor recharged during each 265-ns minimum OFF-time. Thermal shutdown activates at 175°C with 20°C hysteresis, and overvoltage protection triggers at FB ≥ 2.9 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 8 V to 75 V - supports 48-V telecom and 42-V automotive bus systems directly |
| Output Current | 1 A continuous - sufficient for point-of-load regulation of microcontrollers, FPGAs, and sensors |
| Valley Current Limit | 1.25 A ±0.25 A - sets peak inductor current threshold during discontinuous conduction mode |
| Feedback Reference | 2.5 V ±25 mV - enables precise output voltage setting via external resistor divider (R1/R2) |
| Switching Frequency | 100 kHz to >1 MHz - adjustable via RON resistor; remains stable under line/load transients |
| Thermal Shutdown | 175°C activation / 155°C recovery - protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking |
| Soft-Start Current | 11.5 µA - charges external SS capacitor linearly to 2.5 V, controlling ramp rate of VOUT |
| BST–SW Rating | 14 V - defines maximum allowable voltage across bootstrap capacitor during switching |
Pinout & Package
LM5010MH/NOPB is packaged in a thermally enhanced 10-pin WSON (4.0 mm × 4.0 mm) with exposed thermal pad. Pin functions are validated per TI SNVS307G Rev G datasheet.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW | Switching node | Internal drain of N-channel buck switch; connects to inductor, diode cathode, and BST capacitor |
| BST | Bootstrap supply | Charged from VCC through internal diode during OFF-time; powers high-side gate driver |
| VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 8–75 V; powers startup regulator and supplies energy to buck switch |
| VCC | Startup regulator output | Internally regulated 7 V ±6%; powers control circuitry and can be externally biased (7.5–14 V) |
| ISEN | Current sense return | Carries recirculating current out of SGND; used for valley current limit detection at 1.25 A |
| SGND | Sense ground | Low-impedance return path for current-sense resistor; isolated from RTN to avoid noise coupling |
| RTN | Circuit ground | Reference for internal logic, comparators, and UVLO circuits; separate from power return paths |
| FB | Feedback input | Compares output voltage (via R1/R2 divider) to 2.5-V reference; regulates VOUT with <5 nA bias current |
| SS | Soft-start control | Internally sourced 11.5-µA current charges external capacitor; resets to 0 V during fault or shutdown |
| RON/SD | ON-time programming / shutdown | Resistor from VIN sets tON; grounding disables regulator and discharges SS capacitor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No loop compensation required | Hysteretic constant ON-time control eliminates need for external compensation network, reducing BOM count and layout sensitivity |
| Ultra-fast transient response | Minimum 265-ns OFF-time enables immediate reaction to load steps; maintains regulation without overshoot/undershoot |
| Integrated start-up regulator | Self-powered from VIN up to 75 V; eliminates need for auxiliary bias supply in high-input systems |
| Exposed thermal pad | Reduces RθJA to 36°C/W (WSON); enables 1-A operation at ambient temperatures up to 85°C with minimal copper area |
| Adjustable output voltage | Set via two-resistor divider; 2.5-V reference tolerance (±25 mV) ensures ≤1% output error across temperature |
| Valley current limiting | Detects recirculating current during OFF-time; prevents inductor saturation while allowing peak currents up to 3.5 A |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5115MH/NOPB | External MOSFET driver; no integrated switch; supports up to 100 V input; requires loop compensation | Used in higher-current (>3 A) or higher-efficiency designs where discrete FET optimization is needed | Select when output current exceeds 1.25 A or when thermal management requires separation of power switch and controller |
| TPS54160DGQ | Integrated 1.5-A switch; 3.5–60 V input; current-mode control; requires compensation; smaller 10-pin MSOP package | Targeted at lower-input industrial and embedded systems where 60-V max suffices and PCB area is constrained | Select when input stays below 60 V and board space is critical; not suitable for 75-V surge conditions |
Compared with LM5010MH/NOPB, LM5115MH/NOPB offers higher voltage headroom and design flexibility but adds complexity and component count, while TPS54160DGQ reduces footprint and cost for sub-60-V applications but lacks the 75-V ruggedness and valley current limit behavior essential for telecom and automotive use cases.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM5010MH/NOPB?
The LM5010MH/NOPB has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 76 V (VIN to GND), with recommended operation from 8 V to 75 V. This allows direct connection to 48-V telecom buses and 42-V automotive systems, including transient surges up to 75 V. Exceeding 76 V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings table in SNVS307G.
How does the valley current limit function in LM5010MH/NOPB?
The LM5010MH/NOPB detects valley current during the OFF-time by monitoring current flow from SGND through the internal sense resistor and out ISEN. When current exceeds 1.25 A ±0.25 A, the next ON-time is delayed until current falls below threshold. This prevents inductor saturation while permitting peak currents up to 3.5 A, enabling robust short-circuit protection without sacrificing transient response.
Can LM5010MH/NOPB operate without an external bootstrap capacitor?
No. The LM5010MH/NOPB requires a 0.022-µF ceramic capacitor between BST and SW pins to power the floating high-side gate driver. Without it, the internal N-channel switch cannot turn on reliably. The capacitor is recharged from VCC through an internal diode during each OFF-time, and the 265-ns minimum OFF-time ensures adequate recharge margin across all operating conditions.
What is the purpose of the RON/SD pin on LM5010MH/NOPB?
The RON/SD pin on LM5010MH/NOPB serves dual functions: connecting a resistor from VIN sets the ON-time (tON ∝ 1/VIN), enabling frequency stability; grounding the pin forces shutdown-disabling the buck switch, resetting the soft-start capacitor, and reducing input current to <200 µA. This pin enables both programmable timing and system-level enable/disable control in a single terminal.
Does LM5010MH/NOPB require external compensation components?
No. The LM5010MH/NOPB uses a constant ON-time hysteretic control architecture that inherently stabilizes the feedback loop without external compensation. This eliminates the need for type-II or type-III compensation networks, simplifying design, reducing component count, and improving immunity to layout parasitics-especially beneficial in high-frequency (>500 kHz) or space-constrained applications.
