Product details
Overview
LM5576QMHX/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 50–500kHz switching frequency. It delivers regulated output as low as 1.225V with 1.5% feedback reference accuracy and supports industrial power bus conversion in harsh environments.
For engineers reviewing the LM5576QMHX/NOPB datasheet, LM5576QMHX/NOPB pinout, LM5576QMHX/NOPB application, or LM5576QMHX/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-wide 6–75V input range, thermal shutdown at 165°C, cycle-by-cycle current limiting, soft-start programmability, and HTSSOP-20EP package with exposed thermal pad for high-power-density designs.
Technical Context
The LM5576QMHX/NOPB implements emulated current-mode control using a reconstructed ramp signal-generated via internal diode current sampling (IS pin) and voltage-controlled current source (RAMP pin)-to eliminate leading-edge spikes and enable stable regulation at very low duty cycles. Its dual-mode VCC regulator operates in LDO mode below 9V VIN and switches to 7V-regulated mode above 9V, enabling seamless operation across 6–75V input.
Frequency is set by a single RT resistor (50–500kHz), and synchronization is supported via open-drain SYNC pin that allows master-slave coordination of multiple LM5576QMHX/NOPB units or external clock locking. Protection includes cycle-by-cycle current limit, thermal shutdown (165°C), remote shutdown (SD pin with 0.7V/1.225V thresholds), and bootstrap UVLO (3.8V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 6 V to 75 V - supports direct connection to industrial 24V/48V/72V buses without pre-regulation |
| Output Current | 3 A continuous - sufficient for powering FPGA I/O banks, PLC I/O modules, or motor control logic |
| Feedback Reference | 1.225 V ±1.5% - enables precise low-voltage rail generation (e.g., 1.2V, 1.8V, 3.3V) with minimal external divider error |
| Switching Frequency | 50 kHz to 500 kHz - adjustable via single RT resistor to balance efficiency vs. size (e.g., 200 kHz for 33 µH inductor) |
| MOSFET RDS(on) | 170 mΩ typical - reduces conduction loss at 3A, enabling >90% efficiency at 48V→12V conversion |
| Junction Temperature Range | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for extended industrial ambient conditions without derating |
| Thermal Resistance θJA | 40 °C/W - requires PCB thermal pad connection to ground plane for full 3A capability in sealed enclosures |
Pinout & Package
LM5576QMHX/NOPB uses a thermally enhanced HTSSOP-20EP (PWP) package measuring 6.5 mm × 4.4 mm with an exposed die attach pad (EP) soldered to PCB ground for optimal heat dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (pins 3,4) | Main power input | Accepts 6–75V unregulated supply; dual-mode VCC regulator derives bias from this rail |
| SW (pins 17,18) | Switch node | Connects to buck inductor and external Schottky diode anode; carries high dv/dt switching waveform |
| FB (pin 7) | Feedback input | Inverting input of error amplifier; tied to resistor divider on output to regulate at 1.225V reference |
| COMP (pin 6) | Error amplifier output | External type-II compensation network connects here to stabilize loop response |
| RT (pin 8) | Oscillator frequency set | Single resistor to AGND sets switching frequency; placement must be adjacent to IC |
| IS (pins 15,16) | Diode current sense | Measures re-circulating diode current to reconstruct DC level of inductor current for emulated ramp |
| RAMP (pin 9) | Emulated ramp generator | External capacitor sets slope; internal current source scales with (VIN − VOUT) for accurate current modeling |
| SD (pin 2) | Shutdown/standby control | Three-state logic: <0.7V = shutdown, 0.7–1.225V = standby, >1.225V = active; internal 5µA pullup if floating |
| BST (pin 20) | Bootstrap supply | Connects to SW via 0.022µF ceramic capacitor to drive high-side MOSFET gate during on-time |
| PGND (pins 13,14) | Power ground return | Low-impedance return path for IS sense resistor and PRE switch; separate from AGND |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5575QMHX/NOPB | Same family, 1.5A output rating; identical pinout, features, and 6–75V input range | Suitable where load current ≤1.5A; smaller inductor and output cap required | Select when full 3A capability is unnecessary-reduces solution size and cost without redesign |
| LM61460QPWRQ1 | Automotive-qualified 60V/6A buck; 2.1MHz fixed frequency; different pinout and control architecture | Requires layout change; supports higher frequency for smaller magnetics but lacks emulated current mode | Choose for AEC-Q100 compliance and higher current; not drop-in-requires new compensation and layout |
Compared with LM5575QMHX/NOPB, the LM5576QMHX/NOPB delivers double the output current in identical footprint; versus LM61460QPWRQ1, it offers superior low-duty-cycle stability and industrial temperature range but at lower switching frequency and without automotive qualification.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM5576QMHX/NOPB?
The absolute maximum input voltage for LM5576QMHX/NOPB is 76 V, with recommended continuous operation up to 75 V. Exceeding 76 V risks permanent damage due to internal transistor breakdown. During transients, proper input filtering and layout-especially placement of bulk and ceramic capacitors near VIN and GND pins-is essential to suppress ringing that could breach this limit. The device's dual-mode VCC regulator ensures reliable startup even at minimum 6 V input.
How does the emulated current-mode control in LM5576QMHX/NOPB differ from traditional current-mode control?
LM5576QMHX/NOPB avoids direct high-side switch current sensing by reconstructing the inductor current waveform: a sample-and-hold circuit captures diode current (via IS pin) for DC level, while an internal current source (RAMP pin) generates a voltage-controlled ramp proportional to (VIN − VOUT). This eliminates leading-edge spikes, measurement delays, and blanking requirements-enabling stable regulation at sub-5% duty cycles common in high-input, low-output applications like 72V→3.3V conversion.
Can LM5576QMHX/NOPB synchronize with external clock sources?
Yes, LM5576QMHX/NOPB supports external clock synchronization via its open-drain SYNC pin. An external clock with frequency higher than the LM5576QMHX/NOPB's free-running oscillator (set by RT) can be connected through a pulldown device. Pulse width must exceed 15 ns, and the SYNC pin tolerates up to 14 V. Multiple LM5576QMHX/NOPB units can also self-synchronize by tying their SYNC pins together-the highest-frequency unit acts as master, reducing EMI through deterministic phase alignment.
What thermal management is required for full 3A operation of LM5576QMHX/NOPB?
Full 3A continuous output from LM5576QMHX/NOPB requires connection of the exposed thermal pad (EP) to a multilayer PCB ground plane with ≥4 thermal vias (0.3mm diameter, filled or plated). With this, junction-to-board thermal resistance drops to 6.9°C/W, allowing operation at 125°C junction temperature in 85°C ambient. Without EP connection, θJA rises to 40°C/W, limiting practical output current to ~1.8A at same ambient. Thermal shutdown activates at 165°C with 25°C hysteresis.
Is LM5576QMHX/NOPB pin-compatible with other devices in the LM557x family?
Yes, LM5576QMHX/NOPB shares identical HTSSOP-20EP (PWP) pinout and functionality with LM5575QMHX/NOPB (1.5A version) and LM5574QMHX/NOPB (1A version), enabling scalable design reuse. All three support same RT, RAMP, SS, and SYNC configurations, and identical protection features. No PCB changes are required when upgrading from LM5575QMHX/NOPB to LM5576QMHX/NOPB-only inductor, output capacitor, and Schottky diode ratings need verification for 3A operation.
