Power Converter 150 kHz 1A

Step-Down Voltage Regulator, with Features

General Description

The LM2590HV series of regulators are monolithic inte­grated circuits that provide all the active functions for a
step-down (buck) switching regulator, capable of driving a
1A load with excellent line and load regulation. These de­vices are available in fixed output voltages of 3.3V, 5V, and
an adjustable output version.

This series of switching regulators is similar to the
LM2591HV withadditionalsupervisory and performance fea­tures.

Requiring a minimum number of external components, these
regulators are simple to use and include internal frequency
compensation

†

, improved line and load specifications,
fixed-frequency oscillator, Shutdown/Soft-start, output error
flag and flag delay.

The LM2590HV operates at a switching frequency of 150
kHz thus allowing smaller sized filter components than what
would be needed with lower frequency switching regulators.
Available in a standard 7-lead TO-220 package with several
different lead bend options, and a 7-lead TO-263 Surface
mount package.

Other features include a guaranteed

±

4% tolerance on out­put voltage under all conditions of input voltage and output
load conditions, and

±

15% on the oscillator frequency. Ex­ternal shutdown is included, featuring typically 90 µA
standby current. Self protection features include a two stage
current limit for the output switch and an over temperature
shutdown for complete protection under fault conditions.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is
intended to be functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics.

Note 2: Voltage internally clamped. If clamp voltage is exceeded, limit current to a maximum of 1 mA.
Note 3: The human body model is a 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5k resistor into each pin.
Note 4: Typical numbers are at 25˚C and represent the most likely norm.
Note 5: All limits guaranteed at room temperature (standard type face) and at temperature extremes (bold type face). All room temperature limits are 100%

production tested. All limits at temperature extremes are guaranteed via correlation using standard Statistical Quality Control (SQC) methods. All limits are used
to calculate Average Outgoing Quality Level (AOQL).

Note 6: External components such as the catch diode, inductor, input and output capacitors can affect switching regulator system performance. When the
LM2590HV is used as shown in the

Figure 1

test circuit, system performance will be as shown in system parameters section of Electrical Characteristics.

Note 7: The switching frequency is reduced when the second stage current limit is activated. The amount of reduction is determined by the severity of current
overload.

Note 8: No diode, inductor or capacitor connected to output pin.
Note 9: Feedback pin removed from output and connected to 0V to force the output transistor switch ON.
Note 10: Feedback pin removed from output and connected to 12V for the 3.3V, 5V, and the ADJ. version to force the output transistor switch OFF.
Note 11: V

IN

= 60V.

Note 12: Junction to ambient thermal resistance (no external heat sink) for the package mounted TO-220 package mounted vertically, with the leads soldered to
a printed circuit board with (1 oz.) copper area of approximately 1 in

2

.

Note 13: Junction to ambient thermal resistance with the TO-263 package tab soldered to a single sided printed circuit board with 0.5 in

2

of (1 oz.) copper area.

Note 14: Junction to ambient thermal resistance with the TO-263 package tab soldered to a single sided printed circuit board with 2.5 in

2

of (1 oz.) copper area.

Note 15: Junction to ambient thermal resistance with the TO-263 package tab soldered to a double sided printed circuit board with 3 in

2

of (1 oz.) copper area on

the LM2590HVS side of the board, and approximately 16 in

2

of copper on the other side of the p-c board. See application hints in this data sheet and the thermal
