Product details
Overview
SM72485SD/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 100-V, 150-mA constant on-time buck switching regulator with integrated 100-V N-channel buck switch, 6 V to 95 V input range, and adjustable 2.5 V reference-based output voltage - used in PV junction boxes and 42-V automotive post-regulation.
For engineers reviewing the SM72485SD/NOPB datasheet, SM72485SD/NOPB pinout, SM72485SD/NOPB application, or SM72485SD/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage tolerance (95 V max), no-loop-compensation operation, intelligent current limit with RCL-programmable off-time, thermal shutdown at 165°C, and dual-package availability (VSSOP/WSON).
Technical Context
The SM72485SD/NOPB implements a constant on-time control architecture where tON ∝ 1/VIN, enabling stable operating frequency across line and load variations without external compensation. Its internal 2.5 V reference regulates output via FB pin feedback, while overvoltage protection triggers at 2.875 V.
Current limiting uses a forced off-time generator whose duration is inversely proportional to VFB and set by RCL; minimum off-time is fixed at 300 ns to ensure bootstrap capacitor recharge. The integrated start-up regulator delivers regulated 7 V to VCC from 6–95 V input, with bypass mode below 8.5 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 6 V to 95 V - supports wide-range industrial, telecom, and automotive bus inputs without external pre-regulator |
| Output Current | 150 mA max - sufficient for bias rails in high-voltage subsystems like smart PV junction boxes |
| Switch Rating | 100-V N-channel integrated buck switch - eliminates external MOSFET and gate driver in compact designs |
| Reference Voltage | 2.5 V ±20 mV - enables precise output programming with standard resistor dividers (e.g., 1 kΩ/3.01 kΩ for 10 V) |
| Thermal Shutdown | 165°C with 25°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design |
| On-Time Min | 400 ns at 95 V - sets maximum practical switching frequency and ensures reliable current limit response |
| VCC Regulator | 7 V output, 9.2 mA current limit - powers internal gate driver and logic; bypassed below 8.5 V to reduce dissipation |
Pinout & Package
SM72485SD/NOPB is available in thermally enhanced 8-pin WSON (4 mm × 4 mm) package with exposed thermal pad (to be connected to ground plane). Pin functions are validated per TI SNVS697E datasheet Rev E (Dec 2016).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW | Power Switch Node | Connects to inductor, freewheeling diode, and bootstrap capacitor - carries full switching current and high dv/dt |
| BST | Bootstrap Supply | Drives high-side gate via external 0.01-µF ceramic cap; charged from VCC during SW low phase |
| FB | Feedback Input | Inverting input of regulation comparator; 2.5 V threshold sets output voltage via resistor divider |
| RCL | Current Limit Off-Time Set | Resistor-to-ground programs off-time duration after current limit trip - shorter off-time for partial overloads |
| RT/SD | On-Time Set / Shutdown | Resistor-to-VIN sets tON; pulled low disables regulator - no external pull-up required |
| VIN | Main Power Input | Accepts 6–95 V DC; internal 100-V rating allows transient margin up to 100 V |
| VCC | Internal Bias Supply | Regulated 7 V output; requires 0.47-µF local decoupling; UVLO at 5.3 V prevents erratic startup |
| RTN | Signal Ground | Ground reference for FB, RCL, RT/SD - must be low-impedance path to minimize noise coupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No loop compensation required | Constant on-time architecture eliminates need for external compensation network - reduces BOM count and layout sensitivity |
| Ultra-fast transient response | On-time adjustment per cycle enables immediate reaction to load steps - critical for PV panel MPPT auxiliary supplies |
| Intelligent current limit | Off-time scales with FB voltage - 35 µs for short-circuit, sub-µs for mild overload - minimizes foldback and improves recovery |
| Integrated start-up regulator | Self-powered from VIN; bypass mode below 8.5 V reduces quiescent loss - enables direct connection to 12–90 V inputs |
| Precharge switch | 150 ns pulse during minimum off-time ensures BST capacitor retains sufficient charge - prevents gate drive dropout at light loads |
Applications
| PV Panel Smart Junction Box | 42-V Automotive Post-Regulator |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Regulating power for monitoring ICs, communication modules, and bypass switches inside photovoltaic panel enclosures exposed to 60–90 V DC bus voltages. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary buck bias regulator converting unregulated PV string voltage to stable 3.3 V or 5 V for microcontrollers and sensors. Use Value: Integrated 100-V switch and no-compensation design enable compact, robust, and cost-effective enclosure integration without external FET or compensation components. | Use Scenario: Generating stable 5 V or 3.3 V from 42-V battery rail for infotainment, ADAS camera modules, or body control units in next-gen vehicles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-input-voltage step-down converter providing isolated bias supply with fast transient immunity during load dump events. Use Value: 95 V input rating and thermal shutdown protect against 120 V load dump transients; constant frequency simplifies EMI filtering in safety-critical domains. |
| Nonisolated Telecom Buck Regulator | Secondary High-Voltage Post Regulator |
Use Scenario: Deriving 12 V or 15 V bias from -48 V or +48 V telecom distribution buses for optical transceivers, line cards, or fan controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Efficient nonisolated DC-DC stage delivering up to 150 mA with minimal external components and no optocoupler feedback loop. Use Value: Wide 6–95 V input accommodates both positive and negative telecom rails (with appropriate level-shifting); ultra-low FB bias current (100 nA) preserves accuracy with high-value dividers. | Use Scenario: Final-stage regulation after an isolated flyback or forward converter, stepping down 60–80 V intermediate bus to 3.3 V/5 V for sensitive digital loads. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-side synchronous or diode-based buck controller ensuring tight output regulation despite primary-side transformer leakage and cross-regulation drift. Use Value: Precision 2.5 V reference and overvoltage comparator (2.875 V) provide accurate, fail-safe regulation - critical when upstream isolation adds uncertainty. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5164QDDARQ1 | Automotive-grade (AEC-Q100), 100-V input, but requires external MOSFET and loop compensation; higher IQ (100 µA vs. 750 µA active) | Designed for ASIL-B systems; includes spread-spectrum and enhanced fault reporting not present in SM72485SD/NOPB | Choose LM5164QDDARQ1 when functional safety compliance and diagnostic coverage are mandatory |
| TPS54160DGQR | 60-V max input, external MOSFET, compensation required; lower cost but lacks intelligent current limit and bootstrap precharge | Suitable for ≤60 V industrial supplies where thermal stress and transient overload are less severe | Choose TPS54160DGQR only if input voltage stays below 60 V and design can accommodate compensation network and slower fault response |
Compared with LM5164QDDARQ1 and TPS54160DGQR, the SM72485SD/NOPB uniquely combines integrated 100-V switch, no-compensation operation, and programmable intelligent current limiting - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-input-voltage, non-safety-critical bias supplies where simplicity and reliability outweigh diagnostics or ultra-low quiescent current.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the SM72485SD/NOPB?
The SM72485SD/NOPB has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 100 V, with recommended continuous operation from 6 V to 95 V. This 95 V upper limit ensures safe operation under steady-state conditions including worst-case tolerances and ripple, while preserving margin against transients. The device's internal 100-V N-channel switch and gate driver are rated to withstand these levels without degradation.
Does the SM72485SD/NOPB require external loop compensation components?
No, the SM72485SD/NOPB does not require external loop compensation components. Its constant on-time control architecture - where on-time varies inversely with input voltage - inherently provides stable regulation without feedback compensation networks. This eliminates the need for external capacitors, resistors, or op-amps typically used in voltage-mode or current-mode controllers, reducing bill-of-materials count and layout complexity.
How is output voltage programmed on the SM72485SD/NOPB?
Output voltage on the SM72485SD/NOPB is programmed using a resistor divider connected between VOUT, FB, and RTN. The internal 2.5 V reference sets the regulation point: VOUT = 2.5 V × (RFB1 + RFB2) / RFB1. For example, using RFB1 = 1 kΩ and RFB2 = 3.01 kΩ yields a nominal 10 V output. FB bias current is only 100 nA, minimizing divider error and enabling use of high-value resistors to reduce quiescent current.
What is the purpose of the RCL pin on the SM72485SD/NOPB?
The RCL pin on the SM72485SD/NOPB sets the off-time duration following current limit detection. A resistor connected from RCL to RTN determines the forced off-time, which scales inversely with FB voltage: 35 µs at FB = 0 V (short-circuit condition), decreasing for partial overloads. This intelligent current limiting ensures robust short-circuit protection while minimizing foldback and enabling faster recovery than fixed off-time schemes.
Can the SM72485SD/NOPB operate with input voltages below 8.5 V?
Yes, the SM72485SD/NOPB operates down to 6 V input. Below 8.5 V, its internal VCC regulator enters bypass mode: VCC tracks VIN minus ~100 mV, powered directly through an internal ~100 Ω pass element. This avoids regulation losses and enables efficient low-input operation. VCC UVLO remains active at 5.3 V, ensuring reliable startup and shutdown behavior across the full 6–95 V range.
