Product details
Overview
LM5576MHX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 75V input, 3A synchronous step-down switching regulator with integrated 170mΩ N-channel MOSFET, emulated current-mode control, and adjustable 50–500 kHz switching frequency. It delivers regulated output down to 1.225 V with 1.5% feedback reference accuracy and supports industrial power bus conversion in harsh environments.
For engineers reviewing the LM5576MHX/NOPB datasheet, LM5576MHX/NOPB pinout, LM5576MHX/NOPB application, or LM5576MHX/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include ultra-wide 6–75 V input range, thermal shutdown at 165°C, cycle-by-cycle current limiting, soft-start programmability, and HTSSOP-20EP package thermal performance (RθJA = 40°C/W).
Technical Context
The LM5576MHX/NOPB implements emulated current-mode control using a reconstructed ramp signal-generated via internal voltage-controlled current source and external RAMP capacitor-to eliminate leading-edge spikes and enable stable operation at low duty cycles. Its dual-mode VCC regulator maintains 7 V bias supply for VIN > 9 V while directly passing VIN for inputs below 9 V.
Functional integration includes cycle-by-cycle current limit, remote shutdown via SD pin with 0.7 V/1.225 V thresholds, SYNC pin for multi-device synchronization or external clock locking, and pre-charge assist (PRE) for bootstrap capacitor reliability under light-load or pre-biased conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 6 V to 75 V - supports direct connection to industrial 24/48/72 V DC buses without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 3 A continuous - enables single-chip conversion for mid-power subsystems without external MOSFETs. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.225 V ±1.5% - sets minimum output voltage and defines regulation precision across temperature. |
| Switching Frequency | 50 kHz to 500 kHz - adjustable via RT resistor to optimize inductor size, efficiency, and EMI profile. |
| Junction Temperature | −40°C to +125°C - specifies full operational range for industrial ambient conditions. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 165°C with 25°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking without latch-up. |
| Buck Switch RDS(on) | 170 mΩ typical - determines conduction loss and thermal rise at full load (≈1.5 W dissipation @ 3 A). |
Pinout & Package
LM5576MHX/NOPB uses the HTSSOP-20EP (PWP) package: 6.5 mm × 4.4 mm body with exposed thermal pad (EP) soldered to PCB ground plane for enhanced heat dissipation (RθJB = 6.9°C/W). Pin numbering follows top-view layout with EP as thermal ground terminal.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 VCC | Bias regulator output | Supplies internal circuitry; requires 0.1–1 µF ceramic decoupling; accepts external 7.5–14 V supply to reduce IC dissipation. |
| 2 SD | Shutdown/standby control | 0.7 V threshold disables operation; 1.225 V enables regulation; internal 5 µA pullup allows open-circuit enable. |
| 3,4 VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 6–75 V; dual-mode VCC regulator auto-selects pass-through (<9 V) or LDO mode (>9 V). |
| 5 SYNC | Oscillator sync I/O | Enables multi-device synchronization or external clock locking; sink impedance 110 Ω, threshold 1.4 V (falling). |
| 6 COMP | Error amplifier output | Connects to FB via type-II compensation network (R/C) to stabilize loop response and reject noise. |
| 7 FB | Feedback input | Compares output voltage divider to 1.225 V reference; 10 nA bias current minimizes divider error. |
| 8 RT | Frequency set input | Resistor to AGND sets oscillator frequency per F = 1/(580n + 135p·R); placement critical for stability. |
| 9 RAMP | Emulated current ramp node | External capacitor sets slope; internal current source scales with (VIN − VOUT) for accurate current reconstruction. |
| 10 AGND | Analog ground reference | Separate from PGND; provides low-noise reference for error amp, comparator, and sensing circuits. |
| 11 SS | Soft-start timing node | 10 µA internal current charges external capacitor to ramp reference voltage and prevent inrush stress. |
| 12 OUT | Regulated output connection | Direct tie to output filter capacitor; low-impedance path critical for transient response and ripple suppression. |
| 13,14 PGND | Power ground return | Low-side return for IS sense resistor and PRE switch; must be star-connected to minimize noise coupling. |
| 15,16 IS | Diode current sense input | Measures re-circulating Schottky diode current near off-time end to reconstruct DC inductor current level. |
| 17,18 SW | Switching node | Source of internal buck MOSFET; connects to inductor and external Schottky diode anode; high dv/dt node. |
| 19 PRE | Bootstrap pre-charge assist | Open-drain output pulsed 265 ns before on-time to charge BST capacitor during light-load or pre-biased startup. |
| 20 BST | Bootstrap capacitor input | Connects to SW via 0.022 µF ceramic capacitor; supplies gate drive for high-side switch during on-time. |
| EP | Exposed thermal pad | Must be soldered to solid PCB ground plane; primary thermal path for junction-to-board conduction (RθJB = 6.9°C/W). |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM5576MHX/NOPB?
The LM5576MHX/NOPB has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 76 V across VIN pins. Its recommended operating range is 6 V to 75 V, enabling direct connection to 48 V and 72 V industrial DC buses. Exceeding 76 V risks permanent damage, especially during transients-designers must include appropriate input clamping or filtering.
Does LM5576MHX/NOPB require an external MOSFET for operation?
No, LM5576MHX/NOPB integrates a 75 V, 170 mΩ N-channel buck switch, eliminating the need for external high-voltage MOSFETs. This integration reduces bill-of-materials count, simplifies layout, and improves efficiency at 3 A output. External components required are inductor, output capacitor, bootstrap capacitor, and compensation network.
How does the emulated current-mode architecture in LM5576MHX/NOPB improve performance?
The LM5576MHX/NOPB uses emulated current-mode control by reconstructing the inductor current ramp via internal current source and external RAMP capacitor-avoiding noisy switch-node sensing. This enables stable operation at very low duty cycles (<10%), reduces EMI susceptibility, and simplifies loop compensation compared to traditional current-mode controllers.
Can LM5576MHX/NOPB synchronize its switching frequency with other devices?
Yes, LM5576MHX/NOPB features a dedicated SYNC pin that supports both master-slave synchronization and external clock locking. Multiple LM5576MHX/NOPB units can be interconnected to self-synchronize, or driven by an external clock >50 kHz. This capability reduces beat-frequency EMI and enables deterministic timing in multi-rail power systems.
What thermal management provisions does LM5576MHX/NOPB include?
LM5576MHX/NOPB incorporates thermal shutdown at 165°C with 25°C hysteresis and uses the HTSSOP-20EP package with exposed thermal pad (EP). When soldered to a 4-layer PCB with ≥2 in² copper pour, it achieves RθJB = 6.9°C/W. Proper thermal vias under EP and minimal trace resistance between EP and ground plane are essential for maintaining 125°C max junction temperature at full load.
