Product details
Overview
LM5010SD/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 across 8 V to 75 V input, delivers up to 1 A output, and supports >1 MHz switching in telecom and automotive post-regulation applications.
For engineers reviewing the LM5010SD/NOPB datasheet, LM5010SD/NOPB pinout, LM5010SD/NOPB application, or LM5010SD/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include its no-loop-compensation hysteretic control, thermal shutdown at 175°C, BST bootstrap capacitor requirement (0.022 µF), RON/SD programmable ON-time, and dual-package availability (WSON-10 and HTSSOP-14).
Technical Context
The LM5010SD/NOPB implements a constant ON-time control scheme where tON varies inversely with VIN-enabling stable operating frequency across line and load variations without external compensation. Its valley current limit detection monitors recirculating current via ISEN/SGND, triggering OFF-time extension when current exceeds 1.25 A.
Startup uses an internal 7-V regulator (VCC) with 5.8-V UVLO and 11.5-µA soft-start current source charging SS to 2.5 V. Gate drive relies on a floating bootstrap circuit (BST–SW) requiring ≥265 ns minimum OFF-time for capacitor recharge, and includes gate UVLO (3–5 V) and thermal shutdown (175°C/155°C hysteresis).
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 inputs directly without pre-regulation |
| Output Current | 1 A continuous - sufficient for point-of-load bias rails in industrial and communications systems |
| Current Limit Threshold | 1.25 A (valley detection) - enables overcurrent protection without additional sensing components |
| Feedback Reference | 2.5 V ±2% - sets output voltage via resistor divider (VOUT = 2.5 × (R1 + R2)/R2) |
| Switching Frequency | 100 kHz to >1 MHz - adjustable via RON resistor; remains stable across input and load changes |
| Thermal Shutdown | 175°C activation / 155°C recovery - protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking |
| VCC Regulator | 7 V ±6%, 10 mA current limit - powers internal circuitry; supports external bias (7.5–14 V) to reduce dissipation |
Pinout & Package
LM5010SD/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 datasheet Rev G (April 2016).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Main power input | Accepts 8–75 V; supplies startup regulator and high-side driver; internally diode-connected to VCC |
| SW | Switch node | Connects to inductor, freewheeling diode, and bootstrap capacitor; carries pulsed high-current switching waveform |
| BST | Bootstrap supply | Drives high-side gate via 0.022-µF ceramic capacitor to SW; requires ≥265 ns OFF-time for recharge |
| ISEN | Current sense input | Monitors recirculating current during OFF-time; threshold set at 1.25 A; connects externally to sense resistor and diode cathode |
| SGND | Sense ground return | Provides dedicated low-impedance path for current-sense return; isolated from RTN to avoid noise coupling |
| RTN | Circuit ground reference | Reference for internal logic, regulation comparators, and soft-start; separate from SGND to maintain accuracy |
| FB | Feedback input | Compares output voltage (via resistor divider) to 2.5-V internal reference; <5 nA bias current ensures high-precision regulation |
| SS | Soft-start control | Charged by 11.5-µA internal current source to 2.5 V; ramp controls output voltage rise time and limits inrush |
| RON/SD | ON-time programming & shutdown | Resistor from VIN sets tON; grounding disables regulator and discharges SS |
| VCC | Internal bias supply | 7-V regulated output; powers control circuitry; can be externally biased (7.5–14 V) to reduce thermal stress |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No loop compensation required | Hysteretic constant ON-time control eliminates external compensation network, simplifying design and improving transient response |
| Ultra-fast transient response | Minimum 265 ns OFF-time and valley current limiting enable rapid load-step recovery without output droop or overshoot |
| Integrated start-up regulator | Self-powered from VIN; delivers 7 V @ 10 mA to boot internal circuitry before main switching begins |
| Exposed thermal pad | Enhances heat dissipation in WSON package; reduces θJA to 36°C/W, enabling 1-A operation without forced air |
| Adjustable maximum duty cycle | Programmable via RON resistor; prevents runaway at low VIN by limiting tON during startup |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5164PWPR | Wider input range (3–100 V), lower IQ (26 µA), but requires external MOSFETs and loop compensation | Better suited for ultra-low-power standby modes; less integrated than LM5010SD/NOPB | Select when input extends below 8 V or quiescent current is critical; accept added complexity for higher integration flexibility |
| TPS54160DGQR | Lower max input (60 V), fixed 1.22-V reference, integrated compensation, but only 1.5-A peak current limit | Optimized for cost-sensitive industrial supplies with moderate voltage requirements | Choose when VIN ≤60 V and board space allows larger solution size; trade off integration for lower BOM count in mid-range designs |
Compared with LM5010SD/NOPB, LM5164PWPR offers broader input range and lower quiescent current but sacrifices integration and simplicity, while TPS54160DGQR provides easier compensation and higher peak current but lacks 75-V capability and thermal robustness for harsh environments.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LM5010SD/NOPB?
The LM5010SD/NOPB has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 76 V, with recommended operating range from 8 V to 75 V. This makes it suitable for 48-V telecom and 42-V automotive bus applications, including transient conditions like load dump. Exceeding 76 V risks permanent damage per TI SNVS307G Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Does the LM5010SD/NOPB require external loop compensation components?
No, the LM5010SD/NOPB does not require external loop compensation components. Its constant ON-time hysteretic control architecture eliminates the need for compensation networks, simplifying layout and improving load transient response. This is confirmed in the Features section and Detailed Description (Section 7.3.1) of the official LM5010SD/NOPB datasheet.
How is the switching frequency set on the LM5010SD/NOPB?
The switching frequency of the LM5010SD/NOPB is determined by the RON resistor value and input voltage (VIN), using the inverse relationship tON ∝ 1/VIN. Typical frequencies range from 100 kHz to >1 MHz depending on RON and VIN. Equation 5 in the datasheet gives tON = 1.18×10⁻¹⁰ × (RON + 1.4kΩ)/(VIN − 1.4 V) + 67 ns, and FS ≈ VOUT/(2 × L1 × 1.4 × 10²⁰)/(RL × RON²).
What is the purpose of the BST and SW pins on the LM5010SD/NOPB?
The BST and SW pins form the bootstrap gate-drive circuit for the internal N-channel high-side MOSFET. A 0.022-µF capacitor connects BST to SW. During each OFF-time, SW drops near −1 V, allowing the capacitor to recharge from VCC through an internal diode. This ensures sufficient gate voltage for full enhancement of the high-side switch, as specified in the Pin Functions and Feature Description sections of the LM5010SD/NOPB datasheet.
Can the LM5010SD/NOPB operate with an externally applied VCC bias?
Yes, the LM5010SD/NOPB supports external bias on the VCC pin within 7.5 V to 14 V. Applying voltage in this range disables the internal start-up regulator, reducing power dissipation and thermal stress-especially beneficial at high VIN. The internal diode isolates the external source from VIN, and this configuration is detailed in Figure 9 and Section 7.3.2 of the LM5010SD/NOPB datasheet.
