Product details
Overview
LM5574QMTX/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 LM5574QMTX/NOPB datasheet, LM5574QMTX/NOPB pinout, LM5574QMTX/NOPB application, or LM5574QMTX/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 6–75V input range, cycle-by-cycle current limiting, thermal shutdown, remote shutdown capability, and TSSOP-16 package compatibility with WEBENCH® Power Designer integration.
Technical Context
The LM5574QMTX/NOPB implements emulated current-mode control using an internal ramp generator and diode-current sampling via the IS pin, eliminating leading-edge spikes and enabling reliable low-duty-cycle operation at high VIN/VOUT ratios. Its dual-mode VCC regulator maintains ~7V bias for VIN > 9V and tracks VIN directly below 9V, supporting wide-input operation without external bias supplies.
Frequency is set by a single RT-to-AGND resistor (50–500kHz), and the SYNC pin enables master-slave synchronization across multiple LM5574QMTX/NOPB units or to external clocks. Protection includes cycle-by-cycle current limit (0.7A typ), thermal shutdown (165°C), and programmable undervoltage lockout on SD and VCC pins.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 6V to 75V - supports direct connection to industrial 24V/48V/72V buses and telecom -48V systems without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 0.5A continuous - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and interface ICs in ruggedized embedded systems. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.225V ±1.5% - enables precise output regulation down to 1.225V with standard resistor-divider design. |
| Switching Frequency | 50kHz to 500kHz - adjustable via RT resistor to optimize trade-off between efficiency, size, and EMI performance. |
| Integrated MOSFET Rds(on) | 750mΩ (max 1500mΩ) - reduces external component count and conduction losses in compact designs. |
| Soft-Start Current | 10µA (7–14µA range) - sets predictable voltage ramp rate on external SS capacitor for controlled inrush management. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 165°C with 25°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during overload or poor heatsinking conditions. |
Pinout & Package
The LM5574QMTX/NOPB is housed in a 16-pin TSSOP (PW) package measuring 5mm × 6.4mm, optimized for thermal performance (RθJA = 95°C/W) and PCB space efficiency in industrial power modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 6–75V unregulated input; powers internal bias regulator and buck switch. |
| VCC | Bias regulator output | Provides ~7V internal supply; can accept external 7.5–14V auxiliary source to reduce dissipation. |
| SW | Switching node | Source of internal N-MOSFET; connects to inductor and Schottky diode anode. |
| BST | Bootstrap capacitor input | Requires 0.022µF ceramic cap to SW for high-side gate drive; enables N-MOSFET operation. |
| FB | Feedback input | Connects to resistor divider; regulates output by comparing against 1.225V internal reference. |
| COMP | Error amplifier output | Interface for type-II compensation network between COMP and FB to stabilize loop response. |
| RT | Oscillator frequency set | Single resistor to AGND sets switching frequency from 50kHz to 500kHz. |
| SS | Soft-start control | 10µA current source charges external capacitor to ramp reference voltage gradually at startup. |
| SD | Shutdown/UVLO input | 0.7V threshold disables regulator; 1.225V enables operation; open-circuit defaults to active. |
| SYNC | Oscillator sync I/O | Allows multi-device synchronization or external clock locking; supports pulldown-driven interface. |
| RAMP | Emulated current ramp | External capacitor sets slope; reconstructs inductor current without sensing noise or delay. |
| IS | Diode current sense | Measures recirculating diode current to sample DC level of emulated ramp; requires IS-to-PGND connection. |
| PRE | Pre-charge assist | Open-drain output tied to SW to boost BST capacitor charge under light-load or pre-biased conditions. |
| AGND | Analog ground | Reference for error amp, FB, RAMP, and RT; must be separated from PGND for noise immunity. |
| PGND | Power ground | Low-side return for IS sense resistor and PRE switch; ties to power path ground plane. |
| OUT | Regulated output | Direct connection point for output capacitor and load; referenced to PGND. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5575QMTX/NOPB | Higher 1.5A output current, same 75V input, identical pinout and feature set. | Suitable where higher load current is required; shares same layout and compensation network. | Select LM5575QMTX/NOPB when output current exceeds 0.5A but all other requirements match. |
| LM5164QWRNTRQ1 | Automotive-grade (AEC-Q100), 100V input, 0.6A, integrated FET, but uses different control architecture (constant-on-time). | Designed for automotive under-hood use; lacks SYNC and RAMP pins; no emulated current mode. | Choose LM5164QWRNTRQ1 only for AEC-Q100-compliant designs requiring >75V input or constant-on-time simplicity. |
Compared with LM5575QMTX/NOPB, the LM5574QMTX/NOPB offers lower cost and thermal footprint for ≤0.5A loads; versus LM5164QWRNTRQ1, it provides superior line/load transient response and design flexibility via emulated current-mode control and SYNC capability-critical for synchronized multi-rail systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LM5574QMTX/NOPB?
The LM5574QMTX/NOPB has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 76V, with recommended operation from 6V to 75V. Exceeding 76V-even transiently-can cause permanent damage. Layout best practices include placing high-quality input capacitors close to the VIN and PGND pins to suppress ringing during load dumps or line transients. The device's internal VCC regulator automatically transitions between direct VIN tracking (<9V) and regulated 7V output (>9V) to maintain bias stability across this full range.
Does the LM5574QMTX/NOPB require an external bootstrap capacitor?
Yes, the LM5574QMTX/NOPB requires a 0.022µF ceramic capacitor between the BST and SW pins to enable proper high-side gate drive for its internal N-channel MOSFET. This capacitor is charged through an internal diode during the switch off-time. TI specifies short, low-inductance PCB traces for this connection to minimize ringing and ensure reliable bootstrapping, especially under light-load or pre-biased output conditions where the PRE pin may assist charging.
How is the switching frequency set on the LM5574QMTX/NOPB?
The switching frequency of the LM5574QMTX/NOPB is set by a single resistor (RT) connected between the RT pin and AGND. Using Equation 1 from the datasheet (RT = (1/(F)) × 580nS − 135pF), a 32.4kΩ resistor yields ~200kHz. Frequency ranges from 50kHz to 500kHz depending on RT value, and the SYNC pin allows synchronization to external clocks or other LM5574QMTX/NOPB units-enabling deterministic multi-phase operation and EMI reduction in dense power systems.
What protection features does the LM5574QMTX/NOPB include?
The LM5574QMTX/NOPB integrates cycle-by-cycle current limiting (triggered at ~0.7A), thermal shutdown at 165°C with 25°C hysteresis, VCC undervoltage lockout (5.35V), and remote shutdown via the SD pin (0.7V threshold). It also includes forced off-time (500ns) to ensure diode current sampling and prevent runaway during overload or inductor saturation. These protections operate independently and do not require external components, making the LM5574QMTX/NOPB suitable for unattended industrial deployments.
Can the LM5574QMTX/NOPB be used with WEBENCH® Power Designer?
Yes, the LM5574QMTX/NOPB is fully supported in TI's WEBENCH® Power Designer tool. Engineers can enter input/output specifications, select LM5574QMTX/NOPB, and generate complete schematics, BOMs, efficiency plots, thermal simulations, and PCB layout recommendations-including optimized compensation networks and component footprints. The tool validates design margins against datasheet limits and exports design files directly for prototyping or production.
