LM2596SX-ADJ/NOPB 개요

The Texas Instruments LM2596SX-ADJ/NOPB is a SIMPLE SWITCHER step-down (buck) switching regulator delivering up to 3A of continuous output current from a 4.5V to 40V input, with an adjustable output from 1.2V to 37V. It is housed in a 5-pin TO-263 (D2PAK, KTT) surface-mount package with an exposed tab for thermal dissipation, operating from -40C to +125C.

A buck converter, or step-down regulator, is a type of DC-DC switching voltage regulator that efficiently reduces a higher input voltage to a lower output voltage. It belongs to the power management IC family and uses a switching element, an inductor, and a freewheeling diode to transfer energy in controlled pulses, achieving far higher efficiency than linear regulators. The LM2596 is a non-synchronous buck, using an external Schottky diode for the freewheeling path, which keeps the design simple and low cost.

Key features include the wide 4.5V to 40V input range, adjustable output down to 1.2V via an external resistor divider, 3A output capability with excellent line and load regulation, and a fixed 150 kHz switching frequency that allows small inductors and low component count. Internal frequency compensation, thermal shutdown, and current limiting protect against fault conditions. Efficiency reaches up to roughly 90 percent depending on input-output differential and load.

Technically, the LM2596 uses voltage-mode PWM control with a nominal 150 kHz oscillator (110 kHz to 173 kHz range per datasheet). Only a few external parts are needed: an inductor, catch diode, and input/output capacitors, and TI documents standard inductor series for quick designs.

Typical applications include point-of-load supplies for microcontrollers, FPGAs, and DSPs, 12V and 24V industrial bus regulation, battery-powered equipment, automotive electronics, and popular adjustable DIY power modules.

Design tip: size the inductor for continuous conduction mode at full load, use a Schottky diode rated for peak current, and solder the exposed tab to adequate copper area to keep junction temperature within limits. Pricing references are as of 2026-08-30.

일반적인 애플리케이션

LM2596SX-ADJ/NOPB 적합 용도: 6 애플리케이션s: Point-of-Load Supply for MCUs and FPGAs, Industrial 24V Bus Regulation, Adjustable Bench and DIY Power Supplies, Automotive 12V/24V Electronics, Battery-Powered Portable Equipment, LED Driver and Display Backlight Power.

⚡

Point-of-Load Supply for MCUs and FPGAs

The LM2596SX-ADJ/NOPB provides efficient local step-down regulation from 12V or 24V rails to the 3.3V or 5V supplies required by microcontrollers, FPGAs, and DSPs. Its 3A output covers most processor core and I/O rails, while the 150 kHz switching frequency keeps inductors small enough for dense boards. Placed near the load with 220uF output capacitance, it achieves fast transient response; efficiency near 90 percent minimizes heat compared to a linear regulator dropping 12V to 5V at 1A.

🏭

Industrial 24V Bus Regulation

Industrial control panels and PLC I/O run from 24V (or 12V) buses with wide tolerances; the LM2596SX-ADJ/NOPB's 40V maximum input provides margin for transients while regulating down to logic or analog rails. The adjustable output allows a single design to be retargeted from 3.3V to 15V via one resistor change, simplifying platform variants. Internal thermal shutdown and current limiting add robustness in electrically noisy factory environments, and the TO-263 tab handles the dissipation of medium-power rails without a heatsink.

🔧

Adjustable Bench and DIY Power Supplies

The LM2596SX-ADJ/NOPB is the classic heart of adjustable hobby and lab bench supplies: one potentiometer in the feedback divider sweeps the output from 1.2V to 37V at up to 3A. The 150 kHz fixed frequency yields quiet, easy-to-filter operation, and the low external component count (inductor, Schottky diode, two capacitors) makes the design forgiving for builders. Efficiency around 90 percent means minimal heatsinking even at full current, unlike linear regulator-based adjustable supplies.

🚗

Automotive 12V/24V Electronics

For automotive and heavy-vehicle electronics powered from 12V or 24V battery systems, the LM2596SX-ADJ/NOPB-Q1 variant offers AEC-Q100 qualification on the same die and TO-263-5 footprint. The 40V input rating absorbs load-dump-adjacent conditions with upstream protection, while the 3A output feeds infotainment, telematics, and sensor modules. The non-synchronous topology's simplicity aids automotive design reviews, and thermal shutdown protects against under-hood temperature extremes up to +125C.

📱

Battery-Powered Portable Equipment

Portable instruments and battery packs benefit from the LM2596SX-ADJ/NOPB's high efficiency at moderate loads: converting a 12V battery to a 5V rail at 1-2A wastes only a fraction of the power a linear regulator would. The 5 mA typical quiescent current is acceptable for mains-rechargeable or vehicle-powered equipment where shutdown is periodic rather than continuous. The adjustable output supports multi-chemistry battery input ranges as the pack voltage sags, and the small TO-263 footprint fits compact enclosures.

💡

LED Driver and Display Backlight Power

Fixed-voltage rails for LED lighting controllers, indicator drivers, and display backlights are a natural fit for the LM2596SX-ADJ/NOPB. The adjustable feedback lets designers set exact LED string supply voltages (for example 9V for three white LEDs in series), and the 3A capability supports high-brightness arrays. Efficiency near 90 percent keeps enclosure temperatures low for sealed fixtures, and the TO-263 exposed tab simplifies thermal design. Add an output resistor for basic current limiting in constant-voltage LED arrangements.

What is the input voltage range of LM2596SX-ADJ/NOPB?
The LM2596SX-ADJ/NOPB operates from a 4.5V to 40V input supply. According to the TI LM2596 datasheet, the adjustable output can be set from 1.2V to 37V using an external resistor divider, supporting 12V and 24V industrial bus regulation directly.
How much current can the LM2596SX-ADJ/NOPB deliver?
The LM2596SX-ADJ/NOPB delivers up to 3A of continuous output current with excellent line and load regulation. TI datasheet specifies 3A capability across the -40C to +125C operating range when thermal design keeps junction temperature within limits.
What is the switching frequency of the LM2596?
The LM2596 switches at a nominal 150 kHz fixed frequency, with a datasheet-specified range of 110 kHz to 173 kHz. This frequency allows small inductors and keeps external component count low while staying out of the AM radio band.
What is the difference between LM2596SX-ADJ/NOPB and LM2596S-ADJ/NOPB?
Both are the same die in the same TO-263-5 (D2PAK) package with identical 4.5V-40V input, 3A output, and 150 kHz switching. The SX suffix denotes a packaging/ordering variant; both are RoHS compliant NOPB parts and are effectively interchangeable drop-in replacements.
LM2596 vs LM2596HVS-ADJ - which is better?
The original TI LM2596SX-ADJ/NOPB is the proven benchmark. The LM2596HVS-ADJ (Umw) is a cross-brand equivalent in TO-263 with matching 4.5V-40V input, 3A output, and 110-173 kHz frequency range per Xecor comparison data. Choose TI for guaranteed datasheet performance and longevity; the Umw part suits cost-sensitive builds after board-level validation.
Can LM2596SX-ADJ/NOPB replace LM2596SX-12/NOPB?
Yes, on the same PCB. Both share the identical TO-263-5 die and pinout; the -ADJ version outputs any voltage from 1.2V to 37V set by two external resistors, while the -12 fixes 12V. Converting from fixed to adjustable requires adding the feedback resistor divider to the FB pin.
What is the best drop-in replacement for LM2596SX-ADJ/NOPB?
The best drop-in replacement is LM2596SX-ADJ/NOPB-Q1 (TI), the AEC-Q100 automotive-qualified variant on the same die and TO-263-5 footprint. LM2596S-ADJ/NOPB is an identical commercial alternative. Cross-brand, the Umw LM2596HVS-ADJ is pin-compatible in the same package. All require no PCB rework.
Is there an automotive version of the LM2596?
Yes, the LM2596SX-ADJ/NOPB-Q1 is TI's AEC-Q100 qualified automotive-grade variant in the same TO-263-5 package with the same electrical specifications. It suits 12V and 24V automotive rail designs requiring qualified components, while the standard NOPB part targets industrial and consumer applications.
Where to download the LM2596SX-ADJ/NOPB datasheet PDF?
Download the official LM2596 datasheet (42 pages, 4 MB) from TI at ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/lm2596.pdf. It covers specifications, adjustable-output design formulas, inductor selection charts for 150 kHz operation, and typical application circuits.
What are the key specifications of LM2596SX-ADJ/NOPB engineers should know?

Source: TI LM2596 datasheet.
What inductor and diode should I use with the LM2596?
Per the TI LM2596 datasheet, select an inductor using the datasheet charts to maintain continuous conduction mode at full load - typically 33uH to 330uH for 3A designs. Use a Schottky catch diode such as a 1N5822 (3A, 40V) or SK34 rated for the peak switch current and at least the input voltage.
Why is my LM2596 circuit overheating or unstable?
Common causes are an undersized inductor forcing discontinuous operation, an inadequate catch diode, or insufficient copper under the TO-263 exposed tab. Solder the tab to at least 1 square inch of copper, verify the inductor rating per the datasheet selection charts, and check that input capacitance is close to the VIN pin.
What is the best non-TI equivalent for LM2596SX-ADJ/NOPB?
The best cross-brand equivalent is the Umw LM2596HVS-ADJ in the same TO-263 package with matched 4.5V-40V input, 3A output, and 110-173 kHz switching per published comparison data. Many Asian manufacturers also clone the LM2596, but verify originality and datasheet conformance for production use.
Where can I buy LM2596SX-ADJ/NOPB and what does it cost?
The LM2596SX-ADJ/NOPB is in stock at DigiKey, Mouser, Arrow, and LCSC (reference price from $0.85 at LCSC). XAIPART pricing as of 2026-08-30 starts at $2.95 for 1 unit, dropping to about $1.40 at 1000 units. Standard TO-263 tape-and-reel packaging.

선택 가이드

Choose LM2596SX-ADJ/NOPB when you need a proven, low-component-count 3A buck from a 12V or 24V rail with a customizable output between 1.2V and 37V, and efficiency around 90 percent is sufficient. Choose LM2596SX-ADJ/NOPB-Q1 for automotive programs requiring AEC-Q100 - same PCB, same specs. Choose fixed-output variants (LM2596SX-5.0/NOPB, LM2596SX-12/NOPB) only when the feedback divider is unwanted. Consider the Umw LM2596HVS-ADJ for cost-sensitive production after board-level validation. If you need higher efficiency, smaller magnetics, or frequencies above 500 kHz, step up to modern TI synchronous bucks such as TPS5430 or TPS54218, but note these are not drop-in - PCB rework is required.

설계 노트

The TO-263 exposed tab (ground) must be soldered to a generous copper pour - at least 1 square inch - to achieve low junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. At VIN=24V, VOUT=5V, 2A load, dissipation is roughly 4-5W including switching losses; without adequate copper the junction will exceed 125C. Refer to the thermal considerations section of the TI LM2596 datasheet for derating curves.

Keep the loop formed by VIN capacitor, the IC, catch diode, and inductor as small as possible to minimize EMI. Place the input capacitor (470uF electrolytic plus 0.1uF ceramic) within 10mm of VIN. The feedback trace should be routed away from the inductor and switch node to avoid injecting switching noise into the FB pin.

Use a Schottky catch diode rated for the full load current (e.g., 1N5822, 3A/40V) - a standard silicon diode will overheat and destroy efficiency. Select the inductor using the datasheet charts for continuous conduction at full load; undersized inductance causes discontinuous mode, output ripple, and instability. The ON/OFF pin has an internal pull-up: tie it to ground for always-on operation.
