SNVS397F September 2005 – December 2025 LM5005
PRODUCTION DATA
The LM5005 contains a dual-level shutdown (SD) circuit. When the SD pin voltage is below 0.7V, the regulator is in a low-current shutdown mode. When the SD pin voltage is greater than 0.7V but less than 1.225V, the regulator is in standby mode. In standby mode the VCC regulator is active but MOSFET switching is disabled. When the SD pin voltage exceeds 1.225V, switching is enabled and normal operation begins. An internal 5µA pullup current source configures the regulator to be fully operational if the SD pin is left open.
Use an external voltage divider from VIN to GND to set the operational input range of the regulator. Design the divider so that the voltage at the SD pin is greater than 1.225V when VIN is in the desired operating range. Include the internal 5µA pullup current source in calculations of the external set-point divider. Hysteresis of 0.1V is included for both the shutdown and standby thresholds. Establish that the voltage at the SD pin does not exceed 7V. When using an external divider, clamping the SD pin to limit voltage at high input voltage conditions can be necessary.
