Product details
Overview
LMS1585ACSX-ADJ/NOPB from Texas Instruments is an adjustable 5A low-dropout linear regulator in TO-263 (KTT) package, featuring 1.25V reference voltage, 1.2V typical dropout at 5A, fast transient response, and integrated thermal shutdown and current limiting. It delivers stable output for microprocessor core supplies requiring precise voltage regulation under dynamic load conditions.
For engineers reviewing the LMS1585ACSX-ADJ/NOPB datasheet, LMS1585ACSX-ADJ/NOPB pinout, LMS1585ACSX-ADJ/NOPB application, or LMS1585ACSX-ADJ/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include adjustable output voltage range (1.25V to 12V), 5A continuous output capability, TO-263 thermal performance, and compatibility with standard 10µF output capacitance for stability.
Technical Context
The LMS1585ACSX-ADJ/NOPB implements a zener-trimmed bandgap reference and internal current-limiting circuitry, enabling accurate output voltage setting via external R1/R2 resistor divider. Its control loop is optimized for fast transient response to sudden load changes typical in microprocessor applications.
It operates over 0°C to 125°C junction temperature, supports input voltages up to 13V absolute maximum, and requires only two external resistors to configure output voltage per the equation VOUT = VREF × (1 + R2/R1) + IADJ × R2, where VREF = 1.25V and IADJ ≤ 120µA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 5A continuous - supports high-current logic and processor core rails without derating at moderate ambient temperatures. |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.2V at 5A - enables operation with minimal VIN–VOUT margin, e.g., 3.3V output from 4.5V input. |
| Reference Voltage | 1.250V ±1% - sets baseline accuracy for externally adjusted outputs; determines minimum VOUT = 1.25V. |
| Line Regulation | 0.005% typical - ensures <0.17mV change in VOUT per 1V VIN variation, critical for noise-sensitive analog subsystems. |
| Load Regulation | 0.05% typical - guarantees ≤1.65mV output shift from no-load to full 5A load at fixed VIN. |
| Ripple Rejection | 72dB at 120Hz - suppresses input ripple (e.g., from downstream switching converters) to sub-mV level on regulated output. |
| Quiescent Current | 7–13mA - remains low across operating range, minimizing no-load power loss in always-on systems. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-263 (KTT), 3-pin surface-mount, exposed thermal pad (connected to output), RoHS-exempt lead finish, MSL Level-3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| INPUT (Pin 1) | Input voltage supply terminal | Accepts unregulated DC input (up to 13V max); requires local 10µF ceramic or tantalum bypass capacitor. |
| OUTPUT (Pin 2) | Regulated output voltage terminal | Delivers adjustable output (1.25V–12V); connects to exposed thermal pad for heatsinking and current return path. |
| ADJ/GND (Pin 3) | Adjust/feedback reference node | Serves as precision 1.25V reference point; connects to R1–R2 divider; must be decoupled if remote sensing is used. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable output voltage | Configurable from 1.25V to 12V using two external resistors - eliminates need for multiple fixed-voltage SKUs. |
| Fast transient response | Minimizes output voltage deviation during rapid load steps (e.g., CPU burst mode), reducing need for oversized output capacitance. |
| Thermal shutdown protection | Activates at ~150°C junction temperature - prevents permanent damage during overload or inadequate heatsinking. |
| Current limiting | 5.0A typical foldback limit - protects against short-circuit faults while maintaining safe power dissipation. |
| Stability with 10µF output cap | Guaranteed stable with ≥10µF tantalum or ceramic output capacitor - simplifies layout and reduces BOM count. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar adjustable LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM338KTP/NOPB | 5A adjustable LDO in TO-220; higher dropout (2V typ), lower PSRR (60dB), no thermal shutdown auto-recovery. | Less suitable for low-VIN applications; requires larger heatsink due to higher thermal resistance (2.7°C/W vs. 0.65°C/W junction-to-case). | Select when TO-220 mounting is required and input headroom >2V is available. |
| LMS1587CSX-ADJ/NOPB | 3A version in same KTT package; identical pinout, reference voltage, and features but reduced current rating and thermal limits. | Valid drop-in replacement only if peak load ≤3A; lower power dissipation allows simpler thermal design. | Choose for cost-sensitive designs with <3A sustained load and identical board footprint. |
Compared with LM338KTP/NOPB, LMS1585ACSX-ADJ/NOPB offers superior thermal performance and tighter regulation; versus LMS1587CSX-ADJ/NOPB, it provides 67% higher output current while sharing layout compatibility - enabling scalable power design without PCB revision.

FAQ
What output voltage range can be set with the LMS1585ACSX-ADJ/NOPB?
The LMS1585ACSX-ADJ/NOPB supports an adjustable output voltage range from 1.25V to 12V, determined by the external resistor divider connected to the ADJ pin. The reference voltage is 1.25V ±1%, and the output follows VOUT = 1.25V × (1 + R2/R1) + IADJ × R2, where IADJ ≤ 120µA. This allows precise tailoring for core logic, I/O, or analog subsystems without requiring multiple fixed-output variants.
Does the LMS1585ACSX-ADJ/NOPB require an external capacitor for stability?
Yes, the LMS1585ACSX-ADJ/NOPB requires a minimum 10µF output capacitor (tantalum or ceramic) for guaranteed stability, as specified in the datasheet. Input capacitance of 10µF is also recommended. The device is optimized for this value - smaller capacitors may cause oscillation, while larger values do not harm stability but increase start-up time and physical footprint.
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LMS1585ACSX-ADJ/NOPB?
The absolute maximum input voltage for the LMS1585ACSX-ADJ/NOPB is 13V referenced to GND. Operating above this risks permanent damage. For reliable operation, TI specifies recommended input ranges: e.g., ≥4.75V for 3.3V fixed versions, and ≥(VOUT + 1.5V) for adjustable configurations to ensure sufficient headroom across temperature and load.
How does thermal protection work in the LMS1585ACSX-ADJ/NOPB?
The LMS1585ACSX-ADJ/NOPB incorporates thermal shutdown that activates at approximately 150°C junction temperature. When triggered, the output is disabled until the die cools below the hysteresis threshold (~135°C), then resumes regulation automatically. This protects against irreversible damage during sustained overload or insufficient heatsinking, and is fully integrated - no external components needed.
Is the LMS1585ACSX-ADJ/NOPB pin-compatible with other LMS1585A variants?
Yes, the LMS1585ACSX-ADJ/NOPB shares identical TO-263 (KTT) 3-pin pinout and footprint with all LMS1585A fixed-output variants (e.g., LMS1585ACSX-3.3/NOPB) and the LMS1587CSX-ADJ/NOPB. Pin 1 is INPUT, Pin 2 is OUTPUT, Pin 3 is ADJ/GND - enabling direct substitution in existing layouts when current or voltage requirements change.
