Product details
Overview
LM5574QMT/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 75V-input, 0.5A synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator with integrated 750mΩ N-channel MOSFET, emulated current-mode control, and adjustable 50–500kHz switching frequency. It delivers stable output down to 1.225V with 1.5% feedback reference accuracy and supports industrial power bus applications requiring high-voltage input tolerance and robust fault protection.
For engineers reviewing the LM5574QMT/NOPB datasheet, LM5574QMT/NOPB pinout, LM5574QMT/NOPB application, or LM5574QMT/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include its 6–75V input range, cycle-by-cycle current limiting, thermal shutdown, SYNC pin for multi-device synchronization, and TSSOP-16 package compatibility with layout-sensitive high-voltage buck designs.
Technical Context
The LM5574QMT/NOPB implements emulated current-mode control using a reconstructed ramp signal-generated via internal voltage-controlled current source (IRAMP = (10µA × (VIN − VOUT)) + 50µA) and external RAMP capacitor-to avoid noise sensitivity and leading-edge spikes inherent in direct switch-current sensing. This architecture enables stable regulation at very low duty cycles typical of high VIN / low VOUT operation.
It integrates a dual-mode VCC regulator (direct connection below 9V, regulated ~7V above 9V), programmable soft-start via SS pin (10µA current source), and a dedicated IS pin for diode current sampling during off-time to enable accurate DC-level current reconstruction and fast overcurrent response. The SYNC pin supports both master-slave synchronization and external clock locking with 15ns minimum pulse width.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 6V to 75V - supports wide industrial and telecom bus voltages without pre-regulation |
| Output Current | 0.5A continuous - defined by integrated 750mΩ N-MOSFET RDS(on) and thermal design margin |
| Feedback Reference | 1.225V ±1.5% - sets minimum output voltage and determines resistor-divider accuracy requirements |
| Switching Frequency | 50kHz to 500kHz - adjusted via single RT-to-AGND resistor; impacts inductor size, efficiency, and EMI |
| Current Limit Threshold | 0.7A cycle-by-cycle - protects against overload and short-circuit while allowing transient headroom |
| Thermal Shutdown | 165°C with 25°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking |
| Soft-Start Current | 10µA nominal - controls ramp rate of SS capacitor to limit inrush current and stabilize startup |
Pinout & Package
LM5574QMT/NOPB is housed in a 16-pin TSSOP (PW) package measuring 5mm × 6.4mm, optimized for thermal performance (RθJA = 95°C/W) and high-voltage PCB layout with exposed PGND pad.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input supply voltage | Main high-voltage rail input (6–75V); connects to bulk capacitor and requires local high-frequency bypass |
| VCC | Bias regulator output | Internally regulated ~7V supply for control circuitry; must be decoupled with 0.1–1µF ceramic capacitor |
| SW | Switching node | Drain of internal N-MOSFET; connects to inductor and Schottky diode anode; high dv/dt node requiring tight layout |
| BST | Bootstrap capacitor input | Connects to SW via 0.022µF ceramic capacitor to sustain gate drive for high-side N-MOSFET during on-time |
| FB | Feedback input | Inverting input of error amplifier; referenced to 1.225V; sets output voltage via resistor divider from VOUT |
| COMP | Error amplifier output | Connects to FB via type-II compensation network to stabilize loop response and reject input/output disturbances |
| RT | Oscillator frequency set | Resistor-to-AGND sets switching frequency; value calculated per RT = (1/F) × 1.35×10⁻⁹ – 5.8×10⁻⁷ |
| RAMP | Emulated current ramp | External capacitor (50–2000pF) sets slope; reconstructs inductor current for noise-immune PWM control |
| SS | Soft-start control | 10µA current source charges external capacitor to ramp reference voltage and limit startup inrush |
| SD | Shutdown/UVLO input | Logic-level enable: <0.7V = shutdown, >1.225V = active; supports line undervoltage lockout via divider |
| SYNC | Oscillator sync I/O | Open-drain capable; allows multiple LM5574QMT/NOPB devices to synchronize or lock to external clock |
| IS | Diode current sense | Connects to Schottky diode anode; samples recirculating current for DC-level reconstruction and overcurrent detection |
| OUT | Regulated output | Direct connection to output capacitor; low-impedance path critical for load transient response |
| PGND | Power ground | Low-side return for MOSFET and IS sense resistor; separate from AGND to minimize noise coupling |
| AGND | Analog ground | Reference for FB, COMP, RT, RAMP, and SS; must be star-connected near IC to avoid control loop instability |
| PRE | Pre-charge assist | Open-drain output tied to SW to boost BST capacitor charge under light-load or pre-charged output conditions |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM5574QMT/NOPB?
The absolute maximum input voltage (VIN to GND) for LM5574QMT/NOPB is 76V, with recommended operating range from 6V to 75V. Exceeding 76V-even transiently-risks permanent damage. Layout best practices include placing high-quality input capacitors close to VIN and PGND, and adding snubbers if line ringing exceeds this limit. LM5574QMT/NOPB incorporates internal UVLO and cycle-by-cycle current limiting to enhance survivability within its rated range.
Does LM5574QMT/NOPB require an external bootstrap capacitor, and what value is recommended?
Yes, LM5574QMT/NOPB requires an external ceramic capacitor between BST and SW pins to sustain gate drive for its internal N-MOSFET. Texas Instruments recommends a 0.022µF X7R or C0G capacitor placed with minimal trace length. This capacitor is charged through an internal diode during SW low-time; insufficient capacitance or poor placement causes gate drive collapse and erratic switching. LM5574QMT/NOPB also includes a PRE pin to assist BST charging under light-load conditions.
How does the RAMP pin function in LM5574QMT/NOPB, and what capacitor value should be used?
The RAMP pin in LM5574QMT/NOPB connects to an external capacitor (50–2000pF) that sets the slope of the emulated current ramp used for PWM comparison. Its value is calculated as CRAMP = L × 5 × 10⁻⁶, where L is the output inductor in henrys-e.g., 100µH → 500pF. This ramp replaces direct current sensing to eliminate noise susceptibility. LM5574QMT/NOPB's internal current source (IRAMP = (10µA × (VIN − VOUT)) + 50µA) ensures accurate scaling across input/output combinations.
Can LM5574QMT/NOPB synchronize with other switching regulators, and how is it implemented?
Yes, LM5574QMT/NOPB supports oscillator synchronization via its open-drain SYNC pin. Multiple LM5574QMT/NOPB devices can be synchronized by connecting their SYNC pins together-the highest-frequency device acts as master. Alternatively, an external clock (minimum 15ns pulse width, higher than free-running frequency) can drive SYNC directly. LM5574QMT/NOPB's SYNC sink impedance is 110Ω, and its source impedance is 11kΩ, enabling robust multi-device timing alignment without additional level-shifting circuitry.
What protection features are integrated into LM5574QMT/NOPB?
LM5574QMT/NOPB integrates cycle-by-cycle current limiting (0.7A threshold), thermal shutdown at 165°C with 25°C hysteresis, VCC undervoltage lockout (5.35V turn-on), remote shutdown via SD pin (<0.7V = off), and forced 500ns off-time for reliable diode current sampling. These protections operate independently and concurrently-e.g., thermal shutdown discharges the SS capacitor and halts switching until junction temperature falls below 140°C. No external components are required to activate these functions; LM5574QMT/NOPB executes them autonomously.
