LM3489MMX/NOPB is an active Texas Instruments hysteretic controller for positive-output step-down converters. It drives an external P-channel MOSFET, operates from 4.5 V to 35 V, and is supplied in an 8-pin VSSOP (DGK) large tape-and-reel package.
Part-specific information is based on TI's current orderable-part page and the LM3489x datasheet. Verify the latest controlled manufacturer documents before design release.
The LM3489MMX/NOPB uses hysteretic control to regulate a buck converter without a conventional error amplifier compensation network or fixed internal oscillator. The controller monitors the feedback voltage and switches the external PFET as the feedback signal crosses its internal hysteresis thresholds.
The PFET architecture supports low dropout and 100% duty-cycle operation. Switching frequency varies with input voltage, output voltage, inductance, output-capacitor ESR, propagation delay, and load condition, so the power stage must be evaluated across the complete operating range.
The architecture avoids a conventional loop-compensation network and responds directly to the feedback ripple.
A 4.5 V to 35 V supply range supports many intermediate-bus, industrial, and distributed-power designs.
The external PFET can remain on for 100% duty-cycle operation when the input approaches the programmed output.
The controller can sense PFET RDS(ON) or an external sense resistor and uses the ADJ pin to set the threshold.
A resistor divider programs the output from the 1.239 V typical feedback reference up toward the input voltage.
Pull EN low to shut down the controller; leaving EN open enables operation through the internal pull-up.
Operating frequency falls at light load, reducing switching loss without forcing fixed-frequency operation.
PGATE drives an external high-side P-channel MOSFET and swings between VIN and approximately VIN minus 5 V.
LM3489MMX/NOPB uses TI's 8-pin VSSOP (DGK) surface-mount package. The DGK outline has a nominal 0.65 mm lead pitch and a body approximately 3.0 mm by 3.0 mm. The MMX ordering option is supplied on a large tape-and-reel carrier of 3,500 pieces.

The package registry contains 8-VSSOP, but 8-VSSOP.jpg is currently marked as missing. Add and verify the JPEG before publishing this page.

Typical and limit values use different conditions. Apply the electrical-characteristics table and application equations to the actual converter design.
TI lists multiple LM3489 orderable options using the same DGK VSSOP footprint. Carrier quantity, qualification, finish, and exact orderable code must still be checked before substitution.
Package and pin compatibility alone do not establish full interchangeability. Recheck the exact qualification, reel format, lead finish, current-limit setup, output ripple, switching frequency, and thermal behavior.
Texas Instruments lists LM3489MMX/NOPB as an active production orderable part in the LM3489 family. The manufacturer documentation provides the controlled electrical limits, DGK package drawing, reel data, material information, and application guidance.
Point-of-load and intermediate-bus buck stages that benefit from a wide input range and external PFET selection.
Step-down rails requiring adjustable output voltage, shutdown control, and configurable current limiting.
Applications where 100% duty-cycle capability helps maintain regulation as VIN approaches VOUT.
Power stages where an 8-pin controller and a small external component set are preferred.
Match the full LM3489MMX/NOPB orderable code, package marking, reel label, lot information, and moisture-barrier packaging to traceable procurement records. Confirm the required catalog or automotive qualification before approving a substitute.
No. It is a controller that drives an external high-side P-channel MOSFET.
No. The hysteretic operating frequency varies with the power-stage components, voltages, ripple, delay, and load.
For this TI ordering option, MMX corresponds to the 8-pin DGK VSSOP supplied on the 3,500-piece large tape-and-reel carrier.
It uses the same package and belongs to the automotive-qualified LM3489-Q1 branch, but qualification, material, sourcing, and approved-component requirements must be reviewed.
This page supports component identification and initial selection. Final component approval must use the current TI datasheet, package drawing, quality records, and validation in the actual converter across line, load, temperature, startup, shutdown, fault, and transient conditions.
