LM5000-3MTCX

Texas Instruments · DC-DC Converters · TSSOP-16

LM5000-3MTCX from Texas Instruments, in a TSSOP-16. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 COMP output Compensation network connection. Output of the internal voltage error amplifier. RC compensation network is tied from this pin to AGND, with an additional 100pF high-frequency capacitor to AGND recommended. VCOMP OVP trip typ 0.67V.
2 FB input Output voltage feedback input to the error amplifier. Regulates to VFB = 1.259V (typ). FB pin bias current 55nA typ (200nA max).
3 SHDN input Shutdown control input (active low, overbar in datasheet). Open = enable, Ground = disable. Threshold: high >=0.9V, low <=0.3V. Shutdown pin current -1uA typ at VSHDN=0V.
4 AGND power_in Analog ground. Must be connected directly to PGND at a single reference point to minimize noise coupling into the compensation and feedback networks.
5 PGND power_in Power ground. Return path for the internal power switch. All four PGND pins (5,6,7,8) must be tied together to the ground plane close to the SW pins.
6 PGND power_in Power ground. Return path for the internal power switch. All four PGND pins (5,6,7,8) must be tied together to the ground plane close to the SW pins.
7 PGND power_in Power ground. Return path for the internal power switch. All four PGND pins (5,6,7,8) must be tied together to the ground plane close to the SW pins.
8 PGND power_in Power ground. Return path for the internal power switch. All four PGND pins (5,6,7,8) must be tied together to the ground plane close to the SW pins.
9 SW output Power switch output. Drain of the internal NMOS power switch, connected between the SW pins and PGND pins. 80V breakdown, 2A current limit, RDS(ON) 160 mOhm typ. Tie all three SW pins (9,10,11) together.
10 SW output Power switch output. Drain of the internal NMOS power switch, connected between the SW pins and PGND pins. Tie all three SW pins (9,10,11) together.
11 SW output Power switch output. Drain of the internal NMOS power switch, connected between the SW pins and PGND pins. Tie all three SW pins (9,10,11) together.
12 BYP passive Bypass / decoupling capacitor connection for the internal bias rail. Connect a 0.1uF ceramic capacitor from this pin to ground.
13 VIN power_in Analog power input, 3.1V to 40V operating range (absolute max 40V). A small RC filter (typ 10 ohm and >=0.1uF) is recommended between the main supply and this pin to suppress line glitches.
14 SS passive Softstart input. An external capacitor and an internal 11uA (typ) current source set the softstart ramp time.
15 FS input Switching frequency select input. Open = Fhigh (700kHz on LM5000-3, 1.3MHz on LM5000-6). Ground = Flow (300kHz on LM5000-3, 600kHz on LM5000-6).
16 TEST input Factory test pin. Connect to ground for normal operation.
