Overview
Description
LM2591HVS-ADJ is TI’s high‑voltage, adjustable buck (step‑down) regulator. Key points:
- Wide input range: up to 60 V (HV version), with a 3 A internal switch.
- Adjustable output: Vout set by external feedback divider, typically ~1.23 V to ~37 V (Vout ≈ Vref(1+R2/R1)).
- Fixed switching frequency: about 52–60 kHz (simple, easy to design around).
- External components required: inductor, Schottky catch diode, input/output capacitors, and feedback resistors to set Vout.
- Protections: overcurrent (current limit) and thermal shutdown.
- Efficiency: high (varies with input/output conditions; typically strong in a buck design).
- Applications: automotive, industrial, and battery-powered systems needing a compact, simple buck regulator.
Pins usually include VIN, GND, SW (switch output), FB (feedback), and in some packages an enable/shutdown option. The HV variant allows convenient stepping down from higher automotive or battery voltages.

Pinout
LM2591HVS-ADJ is a high‑voltage, adjustable 1 A switching regulator in a 5‑pin package (TO‑220/TO‑263).
Pins and functions:
- VIN: input supply (up to 60 V max).
- GND: ground reference.
- OUTPUT (SW): switching node connected to the inductor and catch diode.
- FB: feedback input used with an external resistor divider to set the output voltage (Vref ~1.23 V).
- ON/OFF: enable/shutdown control (activates/deactivates the regulator).
Note: external components are required (inductor, Schottky diode, output capacitor) to complete the buck converter.
