Product details
Overview
LMR10520XSDX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 2-A synchronous step-down DC/DC converter optimized for portable and line-powered applications with 3-V to 5.5-V input and adjustable 0.6-V to 4.5-V output. It features current-mode control, 1600-kHz/3000-kHz switching frequency options, integrated MOSFETs, and enable/soft-start functionality in a thermally enhanced 6-pin LLP package.
For engineers reviewing the LMR10520XSDX/NOPB datasheet, LMR10520XSDX/NOPB pinout, LMR10520XSDX/NOPB application, or LMR10520XSDX/NOPB equivalent, this device serves as a compact, high-efficiency point-of-load regulator for FPGA core supplies, USB-powered peripherals, and industrial sensor nodes where board space and thermal performance are critical.
Technical Context
The LMR10520XSDX/NOPB implements fixed-frequency current-mode control with internal compensation, enabling stable regulation across wide load and input-voltage variations. Its integrated high- and low-side MOSFETs eliminate external power switches while supporting seamless transition between PWM and power-save modes.
It includes built-in soft-start (via external capacitor), power-good flag, and thermal shutdown protection. The device operates without external compensation components and supports output voltage adjustment via a resistor divider connected to the FB pin.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 2 A continuous - sufficient for powering FPGA I/O banks or dual-core microcontrollers |
| Input Voltage Range | 3 V to 5.5 V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion, USB 5-V, or regulated 3.3-V/5-V rails |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.6 V to 4.5 V (adjustable) - supports core voltages down to 0.6 V for modern low-power SoCs |
| Switching Frequency | 1600 kHz / 3000 kHz - enables use of small 1-µH inductors and reduces solution footprint |
| Control Mode | Current-mode - provides fast transient response and inherent cycle-by-cycle current limiting |
| Package | 6-pin LLP (3 mm × 3 mm, 0.55-mm height) - thermally optimized for high-current density PCB layouts |
| Enable Function | Active-high EN pin - allows precise sequencing control in multi-rail systems |
Pinout & Package
LMR10520XSDX/NOPB uses a 6-pin Leadless Leadframe Package (LLP) with exposed thermal pad for efficient heat dissipation. Pin 1 is marked by a dot; the package is RoHS-compliant and moisture-sensitive level 2a.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input Power Supply | Connects to 3–5.5-V source; requires local 10-µF ceramic input capacitor |
| SW | Switch Node | Drives external inductor; connects to LX pin of integrated high-side MOSFET |
| GND | Power Ground | Common return path for input/output currents; tied to thermal pad |
| FB | Feedback Input | Senses output voltage via resistor divider; sets regulated VOUT = 0.6 V × (1 + R1/R2) |
| EN | Enable Control | High-logic enables regulation; pulled low disables converter and reduces IQ to 1 µA |
| PG | Power-Good Output | Open-drain signal asserts high when VOUT is within ±8% of target; requires pull-up resistor |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62260DRVR | 1-A output, 2.3–6-V input, 6-MHz VM control, smaller WCSP package | Limited to lower current loads; better suited for ultra-low-power wearables | Select when board space is more constrained than current demand and higher PSRR is required |
| TLV62084ARGTR | 2-A output, 2.7–5.5-V input, DCS-Control™, SON-8 package | Higher light-load efficiency via seamless PSM mode; no PG pin | Prefer for battery-backed systems needing >90% efficiency at 10-mA load and no sequencing feedback |
Compared with TPS62260DRVR and TLV62084ARGTR, the LMR10520XSDX/NOPB delivers higher output current in a thermally superior LLP package with integrated power-good signaling-making it optimal for industrial and USB-powered applications demanding robustness and system visibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended output current for LMR10520XSDX/NOPB?
The LMR10520XSDX/NOPB is rated for continuous 2-A output current under typical thermal conditions (2-layer PCB, 2 oz copper). Derating is required above 65°C ambient or with insufficient airflow; full 2-A operation is verified with the recommended 3-mm × 3-mm thermal pad layout per TI's datasheet Figure 7-2.
Does LMR10520XSDX/NOPB require an external compensation network?
No, the LMR10520XSDX/NOPB features internal compensation optimized for standard 1-µH inductors and 10-µF output capacitors. External compensation components are not supported or required-this simplifies layout and eliminates tuning effort during prototype validation.
Can LMR10520XSDX/NOPB operate from a 3.3-V input to generate 1.8-V output?
Yes, the LMR10520XSDX/NOPB supports 3.3-V input and regulates to 1.8-V output with >90% efficiency at 1-A load. The 0.6-V reference and current-mode architecture ensure stable operation across this input-output ratio, confirmed in TI's LMR10520 datasheet Section 7.3.
What is the function of the PG pin on LMR10520XSDX/NOPB?
The PG (Power Good) pin on LMR10520XSDX/NOPB is an open-drain output that asserts high when the regulated output voltage remains within ±8% of its target value. It requires an external pull-up resistor and is used for system sequencing, fault indication, or enabling downstream circuitry only after stable regulation is achieved.
Is LMR10520XSDX/NOPB pin-compatible with other devices in the LMR105xx family?
LMR10520XSDX/NOPB shares the same 6-pin LLP package and pinout with LMR10510 and LMR10515, but differs in current rating and internal current limit. While PCB layout is identical, substituting LMR10520XSDX/NOPB for lower-current variants requires verification of thermal margin and inductor saturation current.
