LM5008SDC/NOPB – TEXAS INSTRUMENTS

The Texas Instruments LM5008SDC/NOPB is a 1.5A, synchronous step-down converter in a space-saving 6-pin SOT-23-6 package. Specifically designed for low-voltage applications, it operates efficiently across an input voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V, providing a precisely regulated output. Its internal synchronous rectification significantly reduces conduction losses, leading to higher efficiency compared to traditional designs, particularly at lighter loads. The device features a fixed 0.8V output voltage, making it ideal for powering low-voltage microcontrollers, sensors, and other peripherals in battery-powered or space-constrained systems. The LM5008SDC/NOPB employs a constant-frequency, current-mode control architecture, offering excellent transient response and load regulation. Its internal soft-start function minimizes inrush current, protecting the input supply. The “NOPB” suffix denotes a lead-free, halogen-free package, adhering to RoHS compliance. Its small form factor and high efficiency make it a strong choice for portable devices and applications where minimizing power dissipation and board space are paramount. The device’s simplicity is further enhanced by its lack of external components beyond the input and output capacitors, simplifying design and reducing BOM costs.
