Product details
Overview
SM72485SDX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 100-V, 150-mA constant on-time buck switching regulator with integrated 100-V N-channel buck switch, internal start-up regulator, and no loop compensation required. It operates from 6 V to 95 V input, delivers adjustable output down to 2.5 V, and features ultra-fast transient response - ideal for PV panel smart junction boxes and 42-V automotive post-regulation.
For engineers reviewing the SM72485SDX/NOPB datasheet, SM72485SDX/NOPB pinout, SM72485SDX/NOPB application, or SM72485SDX/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its VIN range (6–95 V), integrated high-voltage switch, constant-frequency operation across line/load, intelligent current limit with RCL-programmable off-time, and thermal shutdown at 165°C.
Technical Context
The SM72485SDX/NOPB uses a constant on-time control architecture where tON ∝ 1/VIN, enabling stable switching frequency (50 kHz–1.1 MHz) without external compensation. Its regulation relies on a precision 2.5-V internal reference compared against FB voltage, with overvoltage protection at 2.875 V.
Current limiting employs a forced off-time generator whose duration is inversely proportional to VFB and set by RCL, delivering 35 µs maximum off-time during short-circuit conditions. The integrated bootstrap driver supports high-side N-channel switch operation using an external 0.01-µF BST–SW capacitor and includes a 150-ns precharge switch to maintain gate drive under light-load or precharged-output conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 6 V to 95 V - supports wide-range industrial, telecom, and automotive bus voltages including 42-V and 48-V systems. |
| Output Current | 150 mA max - sufficient for bias rails in isolated gate drivers, sensor interfaces, and auxiliary power supplies. |
| Switch Rating | 100-V N-channel MOSFET - eliminates need for external high-voltage switch in buck topologies up to 95-V input. |
| Feedback Reference | 2.5 V ±20 mV - enables precise output programming via resistor divider; low 100-nA bias current minimizes divider error. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 165°C with 25°C hysteresis - protects device during overload or poor heatsinking; resumes operation at ~140°C. |
| Minimum On-Time | 400 ns at 95 V - sets practical upper frequency limit and ensures reliable current-limit detection. |
| Startup Regulator | VCC regulated at 7 V (VIN > 8.5 V); bypass mode below 8.5 V - enables direct connection to high-voltage inputs without external bias supply. |
Pinout & Package
SM72485SDX/NOPB is packaged in an 8-pin WSON (4 mm × 4 mm) with exposed thermal pad (connected to GND). This thermally enhanced package achieves RθJA = 42.3°C/W and RθJB = 20.1°C/W, supporting high-power-density designs in constrained spaces.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BST | Bootstrap Supply Input | Connects to SW via 0.01-µF ceramic capacitor; powers high-side gate driver during on-time; internal diode charges cap during off-time. |
| FB | Feedback Input | Inverting input of regulation comparator referenced to 2.5 V; 100-nA bias current enables high-impedance resistor dividers. |
| RCL | Current Limit Off-Time Set | Resistor-to-RTN programs off-time duration (35 µs max at VFB = 0 V); enables adaptive foldback during overload vs. short-circuit. |
| RT/SD | On-Time Set / Shutdown Control | Resistor-to-VIN sets tON ∝ 1/VIN; pulled low (<0.7 V) disables switching - provides remote enable/disable capability. |
| RTN | Signal Ground Reference | Analog ground return for FB, RCL, and RT/SD; must be connected to system ground plane near device for noise immunity. |
| SW | Power Switch Node | Drain of internal N-MOSFET; connects to inductor, freewheeling diode, and BST capacitor - requires tight layout to minimize ringing. |
| VCC | Internal Bias Supply | Regulated 7-V output (or VIN-bypass below 8.5 V); powers gate driver and logic; requires 0.47-µF local decoupling to RTN. |
| VIN | Main Power Input | Accepts 6–95 V DC; withstands 100-V transients; powers internal start-up regulator and high-voltage switch. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No loop compensation required | Constant on-time architecture eliminates need for external compensation network - reduces BOM count and design iteration time. |
| Intelligent current limit | Off-time varies with VFB and RCL - delivers full 35 µs shutdown during short-circuit while minimizing foldback during moderate overload. |
| Precharge switch | 150-ns activation during minimum off-time - maintains BST capacitor voltage under light load or precharged-output startup, preventing gate-drive dropout. |
| Thermally enhanced WSON | 4 mm × 4 mm package with exposed pad - achieves 42.3°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, enabling 150-mA operation without heatsink in typical PCB layouts. |
| VCC start-up regulator | Self-powered from VIN (6–95 V); bypass mode below 8.5 V, regulated 7-V mode above - removes need for auxiliary bias supply in high-input applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5164QDDARQ1 | 4.5–65 V input, 300-mA output, current-mode control with external compensation; requires loop tuning. | Lower VIN max and higher IOUT; suited for automotive AEC-Q100-compliant designs but lacks 95-V capability. | Select when AEC-Q100 qualification and higher output current are mandatory, and board space allows compensation components. |
| TPS54160DGQR | 3.5–60 V input, 1.5-A output, integrated high-side FET; uses voltage-mode control with compensation pins. | Higher current rating and lower VIN range; optimized for cost-sensitive industrial supplies rather than ultra-high-VIN niche use cases. | Choose for 1.5-A loads below 60 V where design reuse of existing TPS54x60 layout is prioritized over 95-V operation. |
Compared with LM5164QDDARQ1 and TPS54160DGQR, SM72485SDX/NOPB uniquely supports up to 95-V input with integrated 100-V switch and zero-compensation operation - making it the only option among the three for PV junction box and legacy telecom 90-V applications without redesigning the power stage.

FAQ
What is the absolute maximum input voltage rating for SM72485SDX/NOPB?
The absolute maximum input voltage (VIN to GND) for SM72485SDX/NOPB is 100 V, as specified in Section 6.1 of the datasheet. Operation beyond this rating may cause permanent damage. The recommended operating range remains 6 V to 95 V, allowing safe margin for transients in real-world PV and automotive applications. Always verify layout practices to minimize voltage overshoot at the VIN pin.
Does SM72485SDX/NOPB require external loop compensation components?
No, SM72485SDX/NOPB does not require external loop compensation components. Its constant on-time control architecture - where on-time varies inversely with input voltage - inherently stabilizes the regulation loop without feedback compensation networks. This eliminates two to four passive components per design, reducing BOM cost and layout area while accelerating prototype validation.
How is the output voltage programmed on SM72485SDX/NOPB?
The output voltage of SM72485SDX/NOPB is programmed using a resistor divider from VOUT to GND, connected to the FB pin. With a fixed internal reference of 2.5 V, VOUT = 2.5 × (RFB1 + RFB2) / RFB1. For example, RFB1 = 1 kΩ and RFB2 = 3.01 kΩ yields 10 V output. The FB pin draws only 100 nA, enabling high-value resistors that minimize quiescent current without compromising accuracy.
What is the purpose of the RCL pin on SM72485SDX/NOPB?
The RCL pin on SM72485SDX/NOPB sets the current-limit off-time duration via an external resistor to RTN. When overcurrent is detected, the switch turns off for a time determined by both RCL value and FB voltage - ranging from 35 µs (at VFB = 0 V, e.g., short-circuit) down to sub-microsecond values at nominal regulation. This adaptive behavior ensures robust short-circuit protection while minimizing output recovery delay during moderate overload.
Can SM72485SDX/NOPB operate with an input voltage below 8.5 V?
Yes, SM72485SDX/NOPB can operate with input voltage as low as 6 V. Below 8.5 V, its internal VCC regulator enters bypass mode, where VCC tracks VIN minus ~100 mV. This allows functional operation down to 6 V while maintaining gate drive integrity. However, output current capability decreases at low VIN due to reduced duty cycle headroom and higher conduction losses in the internal switch.
