LM2592HVT-5.0

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Overview

The LM2592HVT-5.0 is a SIMPLE SWITCHER power converter from Texas Instruments, functioning as a step-down voltage regulator with a fixed 5 V output. It operates at a switching frequency of 150 kHz and delivers up to 2 A of output current. The device supports an input voltage range of 4.5 V to 60 V. It features internal overcurrent protection and a shutdown function. The component is housed in a TO-220-5 package and is rated for operation between -40°C and +125°C.

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Feature Summary

• Integrated high-voltage switch capable of handling input voltages up to 60 V
• Fixed 5 V output option eliminates external resistor requirements
• Built-in thermal shutdown and current limit protection mechanisms

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Applications

• Point-of-load regulation in distributed power systems
• Pre-regulator stages for linear regulators
• Efficient buck converters for battery-powered equipment

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Procurement Notes

Verify the suffix 'T' confirms the TO-220-5 through-hole package variant rather than surface-mount options. Confirm the '-5.0' designation ensures a fixed 5 V output, distinct from adjustable versions. Check RoHS compliance status and humidity sensitivity classification prior to ordering.

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Selection Notes

Select this part when a fixed 5 V rail is required from a higher voltage source up to 60 V. The TO-220-5 package suits applications needing robust thermal dissipation without complex PCB layout. Consider the 150 kHz frequency for balancing component size and efficiency against noise constraints.

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Part Context

This component belongs to the LM2592HV series of SIMPLE SWITCHER converters. It shares architectural similarities with the LM2592 but extends the maximum input voltage capability. The series provides a simplified design approach for standard 5 V logic supplies using minimal external components.

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Replacement Considerations

LM2592HVS-5.0/NOPB offers identical electrical performance in a surface-mount TO-263-5 package. LM2592HX-5.0 provides the same functionality in a smaller DPAK package. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal requirements when substituting.
