Product details
Overview
551011367-061/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a monolithic step-up (boost) switching voltage regulator IC featuring an integrated 3.0A NPN power switch, 52 kHz fixed-frequency oscillator, current-mode control, and built-in protection including current limit, thermal shutdown, and undervoltage lockout. It delivers regulated 12 V output from 3.5 V–40 V input and is used in compact DC-DC boost converters for industrial sensors and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the 551011367-061/NOPB datasheet, 551011367-061/NOPB pinout, 551011367-061/NOPB application, or 551011367-061/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 12 V fixed output, TO-220-5 package thermal performance (θJA = 65°C/W), 3.0 A switch current rating, and compatibility with standard off-the-shelf flyback inductors per TI's reference design guidelines.
Technical Context
The 551011367-061/NOPB implements current-mode control using an internal error amplifier (transconductance = 370 μmho, gain = 80 V/V) and comparator that regulates peak inductor current by comparing feedback voltage against a 1.230 V reference. Its 52 kHz oscillator drives the NPN switch with soft-start to limit in-rush current during startup.
It operates as a boost converter where energy transfer relies on inductor charging during switch-on (at rate VIN/L) and discharge through an external diode during switch-off (at rate (VOUT − VIN)/L). Output voltage regulation is maintained via feedback from the output to the FB pin, with internal resistive dividers for fixed 12 V versions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 12 V ±4% over 100–800 mA load and 3.5–10 V input; enables direct replacement of linear regulators in space-constrained 12 V rail designs. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.5 V to 40 V; supports wide-input applications such as automotive battery monitoring (9–16 V nominal) and industrial 24 V systems with brownout tolerance. |
| Switch Current Rating | 3.0 A continuous (6.0 A absolute max); defines maximum inductor peak current and constrains output power to ~24 W at 12 V with typical efficiency. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 52 kHz (±8 kHz over temp); enables use of low-cost, high-saturation-current ferrite inductors while minimizing EMI filtering requirements. |
| Efficiency | ≥80% at 5 V input, 800 mA load; reduces thermal load in sealed enclosures and extends battery life in portable equipment. |
| Protection Features | Current limit, thermal shutdown, and undervoltage lockout (UVLO = 2.9 V typ., 2.7–3.1 V range); ensures safe operation during fault conditions without external circuitry. |
| Reference Voltage | 1.230 V ±1.3% (1.214–1.246 V); sets precision of output regulation and determines feedback resistor ratio tolerance budget in adjustable variants. |
Pinout & Package
551011367-061/NOPB is housed in a 5-lead TO-220 (T) package with exposed tab for thermal dissipation (θJA = 65°C/W, θJC = 2°C/W). The tab is electrically connected to Pin 2 (Ground).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Input | Power input (VIN) | Accepts 3.5–40 V unregulated DC; requires local 100 μF low-ESR capacitor for stability and transient response. |
| 2 - Ground | Power and signal ground | Common return for input, output, feedback, and internal circuits; must be tied directly to exposed tab for thermal and noise integrity. |
| 3 - Feedback | Output voltage sense input | Internally connected to 1.230 V reference; for 12 V version, tied directly to output; for ADJ versions, forms resistor divider with external R1/R2. |
| 4 - Switch | NPN collector output | Drives external Schottky/flyback diode; switches at 52 kHz; peak voltage reaches VOUT + VF (≤60 V max). |
| 5 - Output | Regulated 12 V output | Delivers up to 800 mA; requires ≥680 μF electrolytic output capacitor (low-ESR) for ripple suppression and load transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 3.0 A NPN switch | Eliminates need for external power transistor and driver, reducing BOM count and PCB area in boost topologies. |
| Current-mode control | Provides inherent cycle-by-cycle current limiting, improves line/load transient response, and simplifies loop compensation vs. voltage-mode. |
| 52 kHz fixed-frequency oscillator | Enables predictable EMI profile and eliminates external timing components-no resistor/capacitor required for frequency setting. |
| Soft-start function | Reduces input in-rush current during startup by gradually increasing duty cycle, preventing input rail collapse in multi-rail systems. |
| Thermal shutdown & UVLO | Protects device under overload or low-input conditions without external supervision circuitry, enhancing system reliability. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-up regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2577T-12 | Same silicon die, identical electrical specs, TO-220-5 package; differs only in part numbering convention and screening level (commercial vs. extended temp). | Identical functional behavior in boost, flyback, and forward topologies; validated for same inductor families (e.g., AIE L47–L680). | Select LM2577T-12 when sourcing from distributors with broader stock of TI's standard commercial-grade marking. |
| TPS61088RHLR | Modern 2.2 MHz synchronous boost IC; 10 A switch, 2.7–12 V input, adjustable output; requires external compensation and has different pinout. | Better suited for ultra-compact, high-efficiency designs needing >1 A output or <1 mm height; not pin-compatible or drop-in. | Choose TPS61088RHLR only when upgrading for higher power density, lower ripple, or wider input range-requires full schematic/layout revision. |
Compared with LM2577T-12, 551011367-061/NOPB offers identical performance and footprint but may differ in traceability and lot-level documentation; versus TPS61088RHLR, it trades higher efficiency and smaller size for proven robustness in harsh environments and simpler external component count.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current supported by the 551011367-061/NOPB?
The 551011367-061/NOPB delivers up to 800 mA at 12 V output under typical conditions (5 V input, 25°C ambient, proper heatsinking). Its internal 3.0 A NPN switch allows higher peak currents, but sustained output is limited by thermal dissipation in the TO-220 package and external component ratings. Derating is required above 70°C ambient.
Does the 551011367-061/NOPB require an external diode, and what type is recommended?
Yes, the 551011367-061/NOPB requires an external Schottky or fast-recovery diode connected between the Switch (Pin 4) and Output (Pin 5). A 3 A, 40 V Schottky diode (e.g., MBR340) is recommended to minimize conduction loss and reverse recovery noise, ensuring stable operation and high efficiency across the input range.
Can the 551011367-061/NOPB be used in flyback or forward converter topologies?
Yes, the 551011367-061/NOPB is explicitly designed for flyback and forward converter configurations per its datasheet. Its current-mode control, 65 V switch standoff, and integrated protection make it suitable for isolated multi-output designs-TI provides reference transformers and layout guidance for these topologies in SNOS658C.
What is the purpose of the Feedback (FB) pin on the 551011367-061/NOPB?
The Feedback (FB) pin on the 551011367-061/NOPB senses output voltage and compares it to an internal 1.230 V reference. In the 12 V fixed version, it is internally tied to the output; in adjustable versions, external resistors set the output. This closed-loop control maintains regulation despite input or load variations.
How does the soft-start function of the 551011367-061/NOPB improve system reliability?
The soft-start function in the 551011367-061/NOPB gradually increases the duty cycle at power-up, limiting in-rush current into the output capacitor. This prevents input voltage sag, avoids tripping upstream current limits, and eliminates turn-on transients that could disrupt sensitive analog or digital circuitry downstream of the 551011367-061/NOPB.
