The LM5030MMX from Texas Instruments is a high-performance DC-DC switching controller designed for isolated and non-isolated power supply applications. This obsolete but robust IC operates with a wide input voltage range of 14V to 90V, making it suitable for industrial, telecom, and automotive systems requiring stable power conversion. It features a transistor driver output with positive, isolation-capable configuration, supporting single-phase operation with two outputs. The controller offers dual switching frequency options (200kHz or 600kHz), enabling flexibility in design trade-offs between efficiency and component size.
Though obsolete, the LM5030MMX remains a reliable choice for engineers designing high-voltage, isolated power supplies. Its wide input range, dual-frequency operation, and isolation capability provide versatility in demanding environments. While newer alternatives exist, its proven performance in telecom and industrial applications ensures continued relevance in legacy systems or designs prioritizing cost-effective solutions. For modern designs, consider TI’s updated offerings with enhanced features like synchronous rectification.
