Product details
Overview
LM22670MR-ADJ/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 42-V, 3-A synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator in HSOP-8 PowerPAD™ package, featuring adjustable output (as low as 1.285 V), 500-kHz default switching frequency, ±1.5% feedback reference accuracy, and integrated bootstrap diode - used in industrial power rails converting 24-V/12-V inputs to sub-5-V logic supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LM22670MR-ADJ/NOPB datasheet, LM22670MR-ADJ/NOPB pinout, LM22670MR-ADJ/NOPB application, or LM22670MR-ADJ/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (4.5–42 V), thermal performance with exposed pad, soft-start timing (500 µs), enable threshold hysteresis (0.6 V), and RT/SYNC pin configurability for frequency adjustment or synchronization.
Technical Context
The LM22670MR-ADJ/NOPB implements voltage-mode PWM control with input voltage feedforward to stabilize loop gain across wide VIN variations, enabling optimized transient response without external compensation. Its internal Type III compensator is tuned for outputs ≤5 V and supports ceramic output capacitors with low ESR.
It integrates a 120-mΩ N-channel MOSFET switch (PFM package), precision enable with 1.6-V turn-on threshold and 0.6-V hysteresis, and a self-contained soft-start circuit that ramps output over 500 µs. The BOOT–SW bootstrap supply requires a 10-nF ceramic capacitor and mandates ≥5 mA minimum load for reliable gate drive recharge.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 42 V - supports direct connection to unregulated 24-V industrial or automotive rails without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | Up to 3 A continuous - sufficient for powering FPGA I/O banks, microcontroller cores, or multi-rail embedded systems. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.285 V (typ), ±1.5% - sets minimum adjustable output; enables precise 3.3-V, 2.5-V, or 1.8-V generation with external resistor divider. |
| Switching Frequency | 500 kHz (default), adjustable 200 kHz–1 MHz via RT/SYNC resistor - balances efficiency, EMI, and component size in space-constrained designs. |
| Quiescent Current | 3.4 mA (active), 25 µA (shutdown) - enables low-power standby modes in battery-backed or always-on systems. |
| Junction Temp Range | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature environments without derating at full load. |
| RDS(ON) | 120 mΩ (PFM package) - limits conduction loss to <360 mW at 3 A, supporting >90% peak efficiency at mid-load. |
Pinout & Package
LM22670MR-ADJ/NOPB uses the HSOP-8 PowerPAD™ package (4.89 mm × 3.90 mm) with an exposed thermal pad electrically and thermally connected to GND - requires PCB copper area ≥1 in² for RθJA = 60°C/W operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 SW | Switch node | High-current drain of internal N-MOSFET; connects to inductor and bootstrap capacitor; swings from ~0 V to VIN. |
| 2 VIN | Power input | Main supply input (4.5–42 V); decoupled with ≥10 µF ceramic capacitor near pin; powers internal LDO and gate driver. |
| 3 BOOT | Bootstrap supply | Connects to SW via 10-nF ceramic capacitor; provides floating gate drive voltage for high-side MOSFET. |
| 4 GND | Power ground | Analog and power ground reference; tied to exposed pad; must be low-impedance plane for noise and thermal management. |
| 5 RT/SYNC | Oscillator control | Configures frequency mode: floating = 500 kHz; resistor-to-GND = 200 kHz–1 MHz; external clock = sync mode (≥500 kHz). |
| 6 FB | Feedback input | Senses output via resistive divider; internal 1.285-V reference compares against divider ratio to regulate VOUT. |
| 7 EN | Enable control | Logic-level ON/OFF: <1.6 V disables regulator (25 µA IQ); >2.2 V enables; 0.6-V hysteresis prevents chatter during sequencing. |
| 8 NC | No connect | Not internally bonded; must remain unconnected per datasheet - no routing or soldering allowed. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internally compensated voltage-mode control | Eliminates need for external compensation network - reduces BOM count and layout sensitivity for 3-A buck designs. |
| Integrated bootstrap diode | Removes external Schottky diode requirement - simplifies layout, improves reliability, and reduces footprint in HSOP-8. |
| Adjustable switching frequency & sync capability | Enables EMI spread-spectrum tuning or system-level clock alignment without changing inductor/capacitor values. |
| Precision enable with UVLO support | Allows controlled power sequencing and external undervoltage lockout using resistor divider - avoids brownout operation. |
| Thermal shutdown & current limiting | Protects against sustained overload or PCB thermal failure - latches off or folds back frequency depending on fault severity. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM22671MR-ADJ/NOPB | Same pinout, 5-A output rating, higher RDS(ON) (100 mΩ SO PowerPAD-8 vs 120 mΩ HSOP-8), identical control features. | Better suited for higher-current loads (>3 A) where thermal margin is critical; requires larger inductor and output cap sizing. | Select when future-proofing for 4–5 A loads or when board layout allows SO PowerPAD-8 thermal pad expansion. |
| TPS54340DDAR | 42-V, 3.5-A buck with current-mode control, 100-mΩ RDS(ON), adjustable soft-start, but no integrated bootstrap diode. | Requires external bootstrap diode and external compensation; offers faster transient response but higher design complexity. | Prefer when tighter load regulation or faster line/load transients are required, and additional BOM/layout effort is acceptable. |
Compared with LM22670MR-ADJ/NOPB, LM22671MR-ADJ/NOPB delivers higher current headroom in identical footprint, while TPS54340DDAR trades integration for control flexibility - making LM22670MR-ADJ/NOPB optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained 3-A industrial buck designs requiring minimal external components.

FAQ
What is the minimum output voltage supported by the LM22670MR-ADJ/NOPB?
The LM22670MR-ADJ/NOPB supports a minimum output voltage equal to its internal feedback reference voltage of 1.285 V (typical), with ±1.5% accuracy over temperature and line. This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table for the -ADJ version under VFB. Output voltages below 1.285 V cannot be regulated, and the device requires an external resistor divider between VOUT and FB to set any adjustable output above this threshold.
Does the LM22670MR-ADJ/NOPB require an external bootstrap diode?
No, the LM22670MR-ADJ/NOPB integrates a bootstrap diode internally - eliminating the need for an external Schottky diode between BOOT and SW. This is explicitly stated in the Features list and confirmed in Section 7.3.5 of the datasheet. Only a 10-nF ceramic capacitor is required between BOOT and SW, placed with short, low-inductance traces.
Can the LM22670MR-ADJ/NOPB synchronize to an external clock?
Yes, the LM22670MR-ADJ/NOPB can synchronize to an external clock applied to the RT/SYNC pin, provided the clock frequency is between 500 kHz and 1 MHz, has valid logic levels (VSYNC thresholds: 1.75 V min high, falling edge detection), and is present during startup. Synchronization mode is latched until EN or VIN is cycled, and the regulator reverts to 500 kHz if the external clock is lost.
What thermal considerations apply to the LM22670MR-ADJ/NOPB in HSOP-8 PowerPAD™ package?
The LM22670MR-ADJ/NOPB in HSOP-8 PowerPAD™ has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 60°C/W when mounted on 1 in² of 2-oz copper. To maintain safe operation at 3-A load, PCB layout must maximize thermal pad copper area and use multiple thermal vias to inner/ground planes. Derating is required above 85°C ambient unless enhanced cooling is implemented.
Is the LM22670MR-ADJ/NOPB pin-compatible with the LM22670-5.0 variants?
Yes, all LM22670 variants including LM22670MR-ADJ/NOPB and LM22670MR-5.0/NOPB share identical HSOP-8 PowerPAD™ pinout and package dimensions. The only functional difference is the feedback configuration: -ADJ uses external resistor divider on FB, while -5.0 internally fixes VOUT to 5 V. No PCB changes are needed when substituting between these versions.
