Product details
Overview
LV5990M-TLM-H from SANYO Semiconductor is a 1-channel step-down DC-DC converter IC with integrated high-side P-channel MOSFET, operating from 4.5 V to 18 V input, delivering up to 3 A output current, featuring 360 kHz fixed-frequency PWM control, 1.26 V internal reference, and thermal shutdown at 170 °C - used in industrial power supplies and embedded system rails.
For engineers reviewing the LV5990M-TLM-H datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include light-load quiescent current (≤90 μA), HICCUP-mode overcurrent protection, UVLO thresholds (3.4 V turn-on), soft-start programmability via external capacitor, and PG output with 50 mV hysteresis.
Technical Context
The LV5990M-TLM-H implements a Bi-CMOS synchronous buck controller architecture with internal Pch MOSFET drive, error amplifier, PWM comparator, and dedicated HICCUP timer circuitry. It integrates UVLO (3.4 V release), thermal shutdown (170 °C), and P-by-P overcurrent detection with automatic recovery or latch-off mode depending on C-HICCUP pin configuration.
Its feedback loop uses a 1.26 V precision reference and supports external resistor-divider programming of output voltage; compensation is applied via the COMP pin with a single-pole network. The oscillator operates at 360 kHz ±17%, enabling compact external inductor/capacitor sizing while maintaining stable regulation across 4.5–18 V input range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 18 V - supports 5 V, 12 V, and 15 V industrial bus rails without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current Max | 3 A - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, FPGAs, and peripheral ICs in embedded systems. |
| Switching Frequency | 360 kHz (typ) - balances efficiency and EMI with standard off-the-shelf inductors (e.g., 4.7 µH). |
| Reference Voltage | 1.260 V (typ) - sets output accuracy; FB pin regulates to this value via external resistor divider. |
| Light-Load Current | ≤90 µA - enables low-power standby modes in battery-backed or energy-sensitive applications. |
| UVLO Threshold | 3.4 V (release), 2.9 V (lock) - prevents erratic startup/shutdown during brown-out conditions. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 170 °C - protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking in enclosed enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
LV5990M-TLM-H is housed in SANYO's MFP12SJ (225 mil) surface-mount package - 12-pin, 5.0 mm × 4.4 mm body, 0.63 mm pitch, thermally enhanced with exposed pad (not electrically connected).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: SW | High-side Pch MOSFET drain | Switch node connecting to inductor; carries pulsed high-current switching waveform. |
| 2: PDR | Pch gate drive supply | Bypass capacitor required between PDR and VIN to stabilize gate drive voltage during switching. |
| 3: GND | Analog/digital ground reference | Common return path for error amp, bias, and power sections; must be low-impedance. |
| 4: NC | No connect | Internally unconnected; leave floating or grounded per layout best practice. |
| 5: C-HICCUP | HICCUP mode timing capacitor | Capacitor here sets restart interval after overcurrent; shorting to GND forces latch-off. |
| 6: SS | Soft-start capacitor terminal | ~2 µA current charges external cap to ramp output voltage linearly at startup. |
| 7: COMP | Error amplifier output | Connect RC network to GND for loop compensation; determines stability and transient response. |
| 8: FB | Feedback voltage sense | Regulates output by holding at 1.26 V; voltage divider from VOUT sets target output. |
| 9: REF | Internal reference output | 1.26 V buffered reference; usable as precision bias source for external circuits. |
| 10: PG | Power-good open-drain output | Asserts low when FB ≥ 1.1 V ±50 mV; signals valid regulated output to downstream logic. |
| 11: EN | Enable input | Active-high; IC starts when EN ≥ 1.5 V, shuts down when EN ≤ 0.3 V (1 µA leakage). |
| 12: VIN | Main input supply | Primary power input; monitored by UVLO; must be decoupled near pin with ≥10 µF ceramic. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Pch MOSFET driver | Eliminates need for external high-side gate driver; simplifies layout and reduces BOM count. |
| HICCUP-mode OCP with configurable reset | Prevents thermal runaway during sustained overload; C-HICCUP pin selects auto-retry or latch-off behavior. |
| Low IQ light-load operation | 90 µA typical quiescent current extends battery life or reduces no-load losses in always-on systems. |
| Programmable soft-start | External capacitor on SS pin controls output ramp rate, preventing inrush current into bulk capacitance. |
| Accurate power-good monitoring | PG output provides ±50 mV hysteresis and 5 mA sink capability for reliable system sequencing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down DC-DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Texas Instruments TPS54302DDA | 3.5 V–28 V input, 3 A, 500 kHz, integrated N-ch MOSFETs; requires external bootstrap capacitor. | Supports higher VIN and faster switching; lacks latch-off OCP mode and REF output. | Choose for wider input range and higher frequency; avoid if REF or latch-off OCP are required. |
| Rohm BD9G341AEFJ-M | 4.5 V–36 V input, 3 A, 340 kHz, integrated P-ch high-side switch; includes spread-spectrum mode. | Higher max VIN and EMI reduction feature; no C-HICCUP pin or dedicated latch-off option. | Prefer for automotive 24 V systems or noise-sensitive environments; not drop-in due to different pinout and protection logic. |
Compared with TPS54302DDA and BD9G341AEFJ-M, the LV5990M-TLM-H uniquely combines latch-off OCP via C-HICCUP grounding, buffered 1.26 V REF output, and Bi-CMOS low-IQ design - making it optimal for cost-sensitive industrial rails where fault containment and analog reference sharing matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended input voltage for LV5990M-TLM-H?
The LV5990M-TLM-H has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 22 V on the VIN pin. However, the recommended operating range is strictly 4.5 V to 18 V per the datasheet. Exceeding 18 V may trigger UVLO lockout or cause reliability degradation, even if below the 22 V absolute limit. Always maintain input within the recommended range for guaranteed operation of LV5990M-TLM-H.
How does the C-HICCUP pin affect overcurrent protection behavior in LV5990M-TLM-H?
When a capacitor is connected to the C-HICCUP pin, the LV5990M-TLM-H enters auto-retry HICCUP mode after overcurrent detection - restarting after a delay set by the capacitor value. If C-HICCUP is tied directly to GND, the LV5990M-TLM-H latches off permanently upon first overcurrent event until EN is cycled. This dual-mode flexibility allows designers to choose between fault containment and self-recovery based on system safety requirements.
Can LV5990M-TLM-H be used to generate a 3.3 V output, and what external components are required?
Yes, LV5990M-TLM-H can generate 3.3 V using the FB pin and a resistor divider. With VREF = 1.26 V, use R1 = 10 kΩ and R2 ≈ 6.2 kΩ (standard 1% values) to set VOUT = 1.26 × (1 + R1/R2) ≈ 3.3 V. Required external components include input/output capacitors (≥10 µF ceramic each), power inductor (~4.7 µH, 5 A saturation), and optional soft-start capacitor on SS pin. The LV5990M-TLM-H does not require additional drivers or gate resistors.
What is the purpose of the REF pin on LV5990M-TLM-H, and can it be used externally?
The REF pin on LV5990M-TLM-H outputs a buffered, temperature-stable 1.26 V reference derived from the internal bandgap. It can be used externally as a precision bias voltage for ADC references, sensor excitation, or comparator thresholds - provided load current remains below 1 mA. Unlike the FB pin, REF is not part of the regulation loop and remains active even during shutdown, making it useful for auxiliary circuitry powered independently of the main output.
Does LV5990M-TLM-H support synchronization to an external clock?
No, LV5990M-TLM-H does not support external clock synchronization. Its oscillator is fixed at 360 kHz (±17%) and internally generated; there is no SYNC, CLKIN, or frequency-adjust pin. For applications requiring synchronized switching (e.g., multi-rail systems to avoid beat frequencies), an alternative controller with sync capability - such as the TPS54302DDA - must be selected instead of LV5990M-TLM-H.
