Product details
Overview
LM5180QNGUTQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive primary-side regulated (PSR) flyback DC/DC controller with integrated 100-V, 1.5-A N-channel MOSFET, 4.5–65 V input range, ±1.5% output regulation accuracy, and boundary conduction mode (BCM) operation - designed for isolated bias rails in automotive body electronics and powertrain systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM5180QNGUTQ1 datasheet, LM5180QNGUTQ1 pinout, LM5180QNGUTQ1 application, or LM5180QNGUTQ1 equivalent, key selection considerations include its single-component isolation barrier architecture, programmable soft-start (6 ms internal or external capacitor), thermal compensation for diode VF drift, hiccup-mode overcurrent protection, and WSON-8 wettable flanks package for automotive-grade reflow inspection.
Technical Context
The LM5180QNGUTQ1 implements variable-frequency peak current-mode (VFPCM) control with three operating modes: BCM at heavy loads (enabling compact magnetics and ±1.5% regulation), DCM at mid loads (clamped max frequency of 350 kHz), and frequency foldback mode (FFM) at light loads (min 12 kHz). It samples reflected flyback voltage at secondary zero-current crossing to eliminate optocoupler and auxiliary winding requirements.
Its integrated 100-V/0.4-Ω MOSFET supports up to 7 W output power; precision EN/UVLO (1.45–1.53 V enable threshold, 50 mV hysteresis) enables robust system sequencing; and TC pin-driven diode thermal compensation improves output voltage stability across –40°C to +125°C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 65 V - supports wide automotive battery transients including cold-crank (down to 3.5 V post-startup). |
| Output Regulation Accuracy | ±1.5% total - achieved via PSR sampling at secondary zero-current crossing, eliminating optocoupler error sources. |
| Integrated Power Switch | 100-V, 1.5-A N-channel MOSFET with 0.4 Ω RDS(on) - enables compact 7-W isolated supply without external high-voltage switch. |
| Switching Frequency Range | 12 kHz to 350 kHz - dynamically adjusts across BCM/DCM/FFM modes to maximize efficiency from full to <0.5% load. |
| Soft Start | 6-ms internal or externally programmable - controlled by SS/BIAS pin capacitor; prevents input inrush and output overshoot. |
| Thermal Protection | 175°C shutdown with 6°C hysteresis - ensures safe operation under sustained overload or poor heatsinking in enclosed modules. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade | Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C ambient) - qualified for automotive body electronics and powertrain subsystems. |
Pinout & Package
LM5180QNGUTQ1 is housed in an 8-pin WSON package (4.0 mm × 4.0 mm, 0.8-mm pitch) with wettable flanks for automated optical inspection (AOI) in automotive PCB assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - SW | Switch node | Internally connected to MOSFET drain; connects to primary winding of flyback transformer - carries high dv/dt switching waveform. |
| 2 - FB | Primary-side feedback | Samples reflected flyback voltage at zero-secondary-current crossing; sets output regulation via resistor divider with RSET. |
| 3 - VIN | Input supply | Powers internal bias regulators and senses input voltage; requires low-impedance path to bulk input capacitor. |
| 4 - EN/UVLO | Enable & UVLO input | Three-state control: <1.1 V = shutdown, 1.1–1.5 V = standby, >1.5 V = active start-up; supports precision UVLO via resistor divider. |
| 5 - SS/BIAS | Soft-start / bias supply | Charges external capacitor for programmable soft-start; accepts ≥5.5 V external bias to reduce quiescent current and boost efficiency. |
| 6 - TC | Temperature compensation | Adjusts FB reference to counteract thermal drift of flyback diode forward voltage - improves output stability over temperature. |
| 7 - RSET | Reference current setting | 12.1-kΩ resistor to GND sets 100 µA reference current and 1.21-V internal reference - defines output voltage scaling. |
| 8 - GND | Analog & power ground | Common return for control circuitry and MOSFET source - must be low-inductance, star-connected to minimize noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Primary-side regulation (PSR) | Eliminates optocoupler, TL431, and auxiliary winding - reduces BOM count, cost, and failure points in isolated supplies. |
| Boundary conduction mode (BCM) | Enables zero-current switching on secondary side - minimizes EMI and improves efficiency vs. fixed-frequency flyback. |
| Wettable flanks WSON-8 | Supports automated solder-joint inspection per IPC-A-610 - critical for automotive production traceability and reliability assurance. |
| Hiccup-mode overcurrent protection | Shuts down during sustained overload and auto-restarts after cooldown - protects transformer, diode, and MOSFET without latch-off. |
| External bias supply option | Reduces active IQ from 350 µA to 40 µA - extends efficiency >90% down to light loads in always-on automotive modules. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PSR flyback controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UCC28911DR | 65-V max input, no integrated MOSFET (external 650-V FET required), fixed 5-V output only, no TC pin. | Targeted at universal-input AC/DC adapters; lacks automotive qualification and thermal compensation for diode VF. | Choose UCC28911DR only for non-automotive, cost-sensitive AC/DC applications where external high-voltage FET is acceptable. |
| LM5021MMX/NOPB | Current-mode PWM controller (no PSR), requires optocoupler + TL431, 75-V max input, no integrated MOSFET. | Designed for higher-power (>15 W), transformer-feedback flyback topologies with tighter cross-regulation needs. | Choose LM5021MMX/NOPB when multi-output regulation or higher output power is required - not a drop-in replacement for LM5180QNGUTQ1. |
Compared with UCC28911DR and LM5021MMX/NOPB, LM5180QNGUTQ1 uniquely integrates a 100-V MOSFET, supports programmable output voltage via RSET/FB, includes diode thermal compensation (TC), and delivers AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification - making it the only direct solution for compact, high-reliability automotive isolated bias rails under 7 W.

FAQ
What is the maximum output power supported by the LM5180QNGUTQ1?
The LM5180QNGUTQ1 supports up to 7 W of isolated output power using its integrated 100-V, 1.5-A MOSFET. This limit is determined by thermal constraints and peak current capability under worst-case conditions (e.g., 65-V input, 125°C ambient). At 12-V input, typical output is 5 V/1.2 A; at 48-V input, it delivers 5 V/0.8 A while maintaining >85% efficiency. Derating is required above 100°C junction temperature.
Does the LM5180QNGUTQ1 require an optocoupler for feedback?
No, the LM5180QNGUTQ1 does not require an optocoupler. It implements primary-side regulation (PSR) by sampling the reflected flyback voltage at the precise moment secondary current reaches zero - enabling accurate ±1.5% output regulation without optocouplers, TL431 references, or auxiliary transformer windings.
How is output voltage set on the LM5180QNGUTQ1?
Output voltage is set by a resistor divider between SW and FB pins, scaled against the internal 1.21-V reference established by the 12.1-kΩ resistor from RSET to GND. For a 5-V output, a 158-kΩ resistor is used from FB to SW. Equation VOUT = 1.21 × (1 + RFB/RRSET) applies, where RRSET = 12.1 kΩ and RFB is the FB-to-SW resistor.
What protection features are built into the LM5180QNGUTQ1?
The LM5180QNGUTQ1 includes hiccup-mode overcurrent protection (triggered at 1.23–1.73 A peak primary current), thermal shutdown at 175°C with 6°C hysteresis, input undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with adjustable hysteresis, and internal soft-start to limit inrush current. All protections recover automatically without external intervention or latch-off behavior.
Can the LM5180QNGUTQ1 operate with an external bias supply?
Yes, the LM5180QNGUTQ1 supports external bias via the SS/BIAS pin. When voltage exceeds 5.5 V, the internal LDO regulator switches from VIN-derived bias to the external source - reducing active quiescent current from 350 µA to 40 µA and improving light-load efficiency. An auxiliary winding on the flyback transformer is a common implementation.
Is the LM5180QNGUTQ1 pin-compatible with other TI PSR controllers?
No, the LM5180QNGUTQ1 is not pin-compatible with other TI PSR controllers such as the LM5181 or UCC2891x series. Its 8-pin WSON package, pin functions (e.g., dedicated TC and SS/BIAS pins), and internal architecture are unique to the LM5180-Q1 family. Layout and schematic changes are required for substitution.
