Product details
Overview
LV5851M-TLM-H from SANYO Semiconductor (now ON Semiconductor) is a synchronous step-down switching regulator IC with integrated high-side (60 mΩ) and low-side (30 mΩ) MOSFETs, supporting 5–18 V input and delivering up to 3 A output current at efficiencies exceeding 95%. It employs current-mode control, fold-back overcurrent protection, thermal shutdown (160 °C), and soft-start (7.5 ms) for stable power delivery in compact industrial DC/DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the LV5851M-TLM-H datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include its MFP8 package, 350–600 kHz adjustable switching frequency, 0.835 V reference voltage, UVLO thresholds (4.65 V start / 4.3 V stop), and internal compensation-ready COMP pin for loop stability tuning.
Technical Context
This Bi-CMOS IC implements fixed-frequency current-mode PWM control with built-in oscillator (350–600 kHz), internal 0.835 V reference, and fold-back OCP that reduces switching frequency under overload to limit inductor current. The dual-MOSFET synchronous architecture eliminates external diode losses.
Thermal shutdown activates at 160 °C with 50 °C hysteresis; UVLO ensures clean startup above 4.65 V and graceful shutdown below 4.3 V. EN pin enables logic-level on/off control (2 V turn-on, 0.6 V turn-off), and FB pin supports adjustable output via resistor divider with ±1.2% reference tolerance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 5–18 V - Supports wide-range industrial 12 V bus and automotive battery-supplied systems. |
| Max Output Current | 3 A - Delivers full rated load without external MOSFETs or heatsinking on standard PCB. |
| Switching Frequency | 350–600 kHz - Enables use of small 4.7 µH inductors and ceramic output capacitors. |
| Reference Voltage | 0.835 V ±1.2% - Sets precise output voltage via FB divider; enables 3.3 V, 5 V, or custom outputs. |
| High-Side RDS(on) | 60 mΩ @ 12 V - Minimizes conduction loss during high-duty-cycle operation. |
| Low-Side RDS(on) | 30 mΩ @ 12 V - Reduces synchronous rectification loss, contributing to >95% peak efficiency. |
| Soft-Start Time | 7.5 ms typical - Prevents inrush current and output overshoot during power-up. |
Pinout & Package
Package: MFP8 (225 mil), 8-pin surface-mount, no exposed thermal pad. Dimensions: 6.4 mm × 5.0 mm × 1.7 mm max. Requires specified 31.0 × 34.0 × 1.7 mm glass-epoxy board for 1.0 W power dissipation rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (PGND) | Power Ground | High-current return path for SW node; must be connected directly to AGND with low-inductance layout. |
| 2 (VIN) | Input Power Supply | Accepts 5–18 V; requires ≥30 µF ceramic capacitance (10 µF × 3) close to pin for 3 A operation. |
| 3 (AGND) | Analog Ground Reference | Reference for FB, COMP, and internal regulation; separate from PGND but electrically tied at single point. |
| 4 (FB) | Error Amplifier Inverting Input | Senses divided output voltage; regulates VOUT = 0.835 V × (1 + R1/R2); 80 nA bias current. |
| 5 (COMP) | Loop Compensation Node | Connects external RC network to stabilize feedback loop; sets phase margin and transient response. |
| 6 (EN) | Enable Control Input | Logic-compatible enable: ≥2 V = active, ≤0.6 V = shutdown; draws <180 µA in shutdown. |
| 7, 8 (SW) | Switch Node | Drives external inductor; carries pulsed high-current waveform; requires tight layout and Kelvin connection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous Rectification | Integrated 60 mΩ HS / 30 mΩ LS MOSFETs eliminate external Schottky loss and improve light-load efficiency. |
| Current-Mode Control | Enables fast load transient response and simplifies compensation design with single-pole dominant pole. |
| Fold-Back Overcurrent Protection | Reduces switching frequency under overload to limit peak inductor current and prevent thermal runaway. |
| Thermal Shutdown with Hysteresis | Shuts down at 160 °C and restarts only after cooling by ≥50 °C, preventing cycling near thermal limit. |
| UVLO with Hysteresis | Ensures reliable startup above 4.65 V and prevents brownout oscillation with 0.6 V hysteresis between turn-on/turn-off. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP2315DJ-LF-Z | 40 V max input, 3 A, 500 kHz, 100 mΩ/70 mΩ MOSFETs, no fold-back OCP | Lacks fold-back protection; uses constant-current OCP with hiccup mode | Preferred where higher input voltage range (up to 40 V) is required, but less robust under sustained overload. |
| TPS54332DR | 28 V max input, 3 A, 600 kHz, external MOSFETs, 0.8 V ref, no integrated low-side FET | Requires external low-side MOSFET and driver; more flexible but larger solution size | Chosen when design requires adjustable frequency, external component optimization, or higher thermal headroom via discrete FETs. |

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended output current for LV5851M-TLM-H under continuous operation?
The LV5851M-TLM-H is rated for up to 3 A continuous output current when mounted on the specified 31.0 × 34.0 × 1.7 mm glass-epoxy board and operated within ambient temperatures of –30 to 85 °C. Derating applies above 60 °C ambient; at 85 °C, maximum sustainable current drops to approximately 2.2 A due to thermal limits and 1.0 W allowable power dissipation.
Does LV5851M-TLM-H require an external compensation network, and where is it connected?
Yes, LV5851M-TLM-H requires an external RC compensation network connected to the COMP pin (Pin 5) to stabilize the feedback loop. The network typically includes a series RC from COMP to AGND and may include additional capacitor from COMP to FB, per the manufacturer's recommended type II or type III compensation design for current-mode converters.
What is the function of the dual SW pins (Pins 7 and 8) on LV5851M-TLM-H?
Pins 7 and 8 on LV5851M-TLM-H are internally bonded together as a single switch node (SW). This dual-pin configuration reduces parasitic inductance and improves current handling capability for the high-frequency, high-current switching waveform routed to the external inductor.
Can LV5851M-TLM-H operate with an input voltage lower than 5 V?
No, LV5851M-TLM-H has a minimum recommended operating input voltage of 5 V per its Recommended Operating Conditions. Although absolute maximum rating allows VIN down to –0.3 V, the UVLO circuit disables operation below ~4.3 V, and stable regulation is not guaranteed below 5 V due to insufficient headroom for internal regulation and gate drive.
How does the fold-back overcurrent protection in LV5851M-TLM-H differ from hiccup or latch-off modes?
The fold-back OCP in LV5851M-TLM-H reduces switching frequency under overload instead of shutting down. This lowers average inductor current and power dissipation while maintaining regulation, allowing safe operation during temporary overloads. Unlike hiccup (repeated restart attempts) or latch-off (requires reset), fold-back enables graceful current limiting without interrupting system operation.
