Product details
Overview
LM9071S/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 5 V, 250 mA automotive-grade low-dropout linear voltage regulator with integrated delayed active-low reset output. It delivers ±3% output voltage tolerance, <800 mV dropout at full load, and operates across −40°C to +125°C in TO-263 (DDPAK) package. It is used to power microprocessor subsystems in engine control units where input transients up to +60 V and reverse battery events must be tolerated without system reset corruption.
For engineers reviewing the LM9071S/NOPB datasheet, LM9071S/NOPB pinout, LM9071S/NOPB application, or LM9071S/NOPB equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, thermal design guidance for TO-263 layout, reset delay timing equations, RFI-immune operation details, and validated automotive-grade alternatives with documented functional differences.
Technical Context
The LM9071S/NOPB integrates a PNP pass transistor with saturation detection logic to suppress input current surges during dropout, preventing oscillation under high-inductance input conditions. Its reset circuit monitors output voltage drop of −300 mV to −500 mV relative to nominal 5 V and holds the open-drain RESET# output low until an externally programmed capacitor charges via 10–30 µA internal current source.
Designed for ISO 7637-2 compliant automotive environments, it withstands +60 V/100 ms positive transients and −50 V/1 ms negative transients, while reverse-battery protection limits VOUT to −0.8 V when VIN = −15 V. Radiated RFI immunity is ensured up to 300 V/m from 2 MHz to 400 MHz without false resets when using ≥47 µF/ESR < 3 Ω output capacitance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.0 V ±3% (4.85–5.15 V), tightly regulated over 5–250 mA load and −40°C to +125°C ambient. |
| Dropout Voltage | ≤800 mV at 250 mA load, enabling stable 5 V output from as low as 5.8 V input in warm-cranking conditions. |
| Reset Threshold | −300 mV to −500 mV drop from nominal VOUT, triggering reliable microcontroller reset before logic-level violation. |
| Reset Delay | 7.6–35 ms programmable via external capacitor (e.g., 0.1 µF), ensuring CPU clock and supply stabilization pre-boot. |
| Input Transient Withstand | +60 V for ≤100 ms and −50 V for ≤1 ms, eliminating need for external TVS in standard load-dump protection. |
| RFI Immunity | Operates without false reset under 300 V/m radiated field (2–400 MHz), validated per automotive EMC requirements. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates >150°C junction temperature; TO-263 θJ-A = 80°C/W (no heatsink), reducible to 32°C/W with 1.6 in² copper area. |
Pinout & Package
LM9071S/NOPB uses the 5-pin TO-263 (DDPAK, package code KTT0005B) surface-mount package. The exposed tab is internally connected to GND and serves as primary thermal path. Pin 1 is located in Quadrant Q2 per tape-and-reel orientation standard.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 6–26 V DC; withstands +60 V/100 ms transients and −50 V/1 ms reverse spikes. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return for regulator, reset circuit, and internal protection logic; tied to exposed tab. |
| 3 (OUT) | Regulated 5 V output | Delivers up to 250 mA; requires ≥47 µF/ESR < 3 Ω ceramic or tantalum output capacitor for stability. |
| 4 (RESET#) | Active-low reset flag | Open-drain output; sinks up to 5 mA; pulled high internally via 12–80 kΩ resistor; asserts low on VOUT drop ≥300 mV. |
| 5 (DELAY) | Reset delay timing node | Connects to external capacitor (e.g., 0.1 µF); charged by 10–30 µA current source to set reset timeout interval. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive-grade reliability | Qualified per AEC-Q100; operates continuously from −40°C to +125°C ambient with built-in thermal shutdown. |
| Reverse battery protection | Prevents damage during −15 V battery connection; clamps VOUT to −0.8 V, protecting downstream 5 V logic. |
| RFI-hardened reset logic | Immune to 300 V/m radiated fields (2–400 MHz); avoids spurious resets in noisy engine bay environments. |
| Programmable reset delay | Delay time set by single external capacitor (e.g., 0.1 µF → 7.6–35 ms), enabling precise boot sequencing control. |
| Integrated transient protection | No external TVS required for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1, 2a, 3a/b; handles +60 V/100 ms and −50 V/1 ms events internally. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar automotive LDO regulator with reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV73350PDBVR | 300 mA output, 400 mV dropout at 300 mA, no integrated reset; requires external reset IC and TVS. | Lacks delayed reset and transient protection; suitable only for non-safety-critical interior modules with clean power rails. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs integration needs and environmental stress is low (e.g., infotainment USB hub). |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the LM9071S/NOPB can withstand during load dump events?
The LM9071S/NOPB supports +60 V input transients for durations up to 100 ms without damage or regulation loss, satisfying ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1 and Pulse 2a requirements. This eliminates the need for external TVS diodes in most automotive load-dump scenarios. The device remains fully functional during and after such events, maintaining regulated 5 V output to connected microcontrollers and sensors. This capability is intrinsic to the LM9071S/NOPB silicon design and verified in production testing.
How is the reset delay time calculated for the LM9071S/NOPB?
The LM9071S/NOPB reset delay time tDELAY is determined by the external capacitor CDELAY connected to Pin 5 and the internal charging current (10–30 µA). Using the typical 20 µA value, tDELAY ≈ CDELAY × 50 kΩ - for example, a 0.1 µF capacitor yields 7.6–35 ms delay. The LM9071S/NOPB datasheet provides Figure 12 showing measured delay vs. temperature, confirming design margin across −40°C to +125°C. This equation applies directly to the LM9071S/NOPB and is validated in TI's SNVS131D characterization data.
Does the LM9071S/NOPB require an input capacitor, and what value is recommended?
Yes, the LM9071S/NOPB requires a minimum 1 µF input capacitor placed close to Pins 1 (IN) and 2 (GND) to suppress line transients and improve noise rejection. A ceramic capacitor is preferred for low ESR and ESL. While 1 µF meets minimum stability requirements, TI recommends ≥4.7 µF for enhanced performance in high-noise automotive environments. This input capacitor is mandatory for reliable operation of the LM9071S/NOPB under fast-rising input conditions and helps prevent instability caused by wiring inductance.
Can the LM9071S/NOPB operate with a 5.5 V input supply?
No-the LM9071S/NOPB has a minimum operating input voltage of 6 V per its Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. At 5.5 V, the device enters dropout and cannot maintain 5 V output regulation at any load. Its specified dropout voltage is ≤800 mV at 250 mA, meaning it requires ≥5.8 V input to sustain full-load regulation. Attempting to operate the LM9071S/NOPB below 6 V risks undervoltage reset assertion and unregulated output, violating its guaranteed performance envelope.
What is the thermal resistance (θJ-A) of the LM9071S/NOPB in its TO-263 package?
The LM9071S/NOPB in TO-263 (KTT) package has a baseline θJ-A of 80°C/W under still-air conditions with no added heatsink. However, this value improves significantly with PCB copper area: 0.5 in² reduces it to 50°C/W, 1.0 in² to 37°C/W, and 1.6 in² to 32°C/W (1 oz copper, no solder mask). These thermal metrics are measured and published in the LM9071S/NOPB datasheet Section 6.5 and directly inform board layout decisions for sustained 250 mA operation at +125°C ambient.
