Product details
Overview
LM22670MRX-5.0/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 42-V input, 3-A synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator with fixed 5.0 V output, 500 kHz switching frequency, ±1.5% feedback reference accuracy, and integrated boot-strap diode. It delivers high efficiency (>90%) in industrial power rails converting 12 V or 24 V inputs to stable 5 V for microcontrollers and peripherals.
For engineers reviewing the LM22670MRX-5.0/NOPB datasheet, LM22670MRX-5.0/NOPB pinout, LM22670MRX-5.0/NOPB application, or LM22670MRX-5.0/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.5–42 V wide input range, internal voltage-mode compensation, thermal shutdown protection, and SO PowerPAD™-8 package with exposed pad for enhanced thermal performance.
Technical Context
The LM22670MRX-5.0/NOPB implements a voltage-mode PWM controller with input voltage feedforward to stabilize loop gain across input variations. Its internal Type III compensation is optimized for fixed 5 V output, eliminating external compensation components.
It integrates a 100-mΩ N-channel MOSFET switch and uses a bootstrap capacitor between BOOT and SW to drive the high-side gate. Minimum on-time (100 ns) and off-time (100 ns) enable wide VIN/VOUT ratios and support self-synchronization via the RT/SYNC pin.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 42 V - supports direct connection to 12 V, 24 V, and 36 V industrial and automotive supply rails without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0 V ±1.5% - eliminates external feedback resistors; ensures accurate logic-level supply for MCU, FPGA, and interface ICs. |
| Max Output Current | 3 A - sufficient for powering multiple digital loads including ARM Cortex-M cores and peripheral ICs simultaneously. |
| Switching Frequency | 500 kHz (default), adjustable 200–1000 kHz - enables compact magnetics and ceramic output capacitors while avoiding AM band EMI. |
| RDS(ON) | 100 mΩ (SO PowerPAD™-8) - reduces conduction loss at full load, supporting >90% peak efficiency at 12 VIN/5 VOUT. |
| Junction Temp Range | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for extended industrial and automotive under-hood environments without derating. |
| Quiescent Current | 3.4 mA (active), 25 µA (shutdown) - enables low-power standby modes in battery-backed or energy-conscious systems. |
Pinout & Package
LM22670MRX-5.0/NOPB is housed in an SO PowerPAD™-8 (DDA) package measuring 4.89 mm × 3.90 mm with an exposed thermal pad that must be soldered to PCB ground for optimal thermal performance (RθJA = 60°C/W with 1 in² copper).
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 SW | Switch Node | Connects to inductor and catch diode/capacitor; carries high di/dt pulsed current; requires short, low-inductance layout. |
| 2 VIN | Main Input Supply | Accepts 4.5–42 V; routes to internal LDO, gate driver, and high-side MOSFET; requires local 10 µF ceramic input capacitor. |
| 3 BOOT | Bootstrap Supply | Connects to SW via 10 nF ceramic capacitor; supplies gate drive voltage for high-side MOSFET; critical for proper turn-on. |
| 4 GND | Power Ground | Analog and power return; ties to exposed pad; forms low-impedance path for switch current and thermal dissipation. |
| 5 RT/SYNC | Oscillator Control | Configures frequency (200–1000 kHz) with resistor-to-GND or enables synchronization to external clock ≥500 kHz. |
| 6 FB | Feedback Input | Internally tied to 5.0 V reference; not connected externally for -5.0 version - simplifies layout and improves noise immunity. |
| 7 EN | Enable Control | Logic-compatible input with 1.6 V threshold and 0.6 V hysteresis; allows precise power sequencing and UVLO override. |
| 8 NC | No Connect | Unbonded pin; must remain unconnected per datasheet - no routing or thermal tie required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internally compensated voltage-mode control | Eliminates external compensation network - reduces BOM count and design iteration time for fixed 5 V output. |
| Integrated boot-strap diode | Removes need for external bootstrap diode - simplifies layout, improves reliability, and reduces component count. |
| Stable with low-ESR ceramic capacitors | Enables use of compact, high-reliability X7R/X5R MLCCs instead of bulkier electrolytics - ideal for space-constrained designs. |
| Precision enable with UVLO override | Allows system-level sequencing and programmable undervoltage lockout using resistor divider - prevents brownout operation. |
| Thermal shutdown & current limiting | Protects against sustained overload and PCB overheating without external circuitry - ensures robust field operation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM22671MRX-5.0/NOPB | Same pinout and electrical specs, but rated only to 105°C junction temperature (vs. 125°C). | Suitable for commercial/industrial ambient temperatures ≤85°C; not qualified for extended automotive or high-temp industrial use. | Select when thermal margin is sufficient and cost sensitivity outweighs extended temperature requirement. |
| TPS54340DDAR | 42 V, 3.5 A, adjustable output; requires external feedback resistors and compensation; 2.2 MHz max frequency. | Better suited for ultra-compact designs needing higher switching frequency; lacks fixed 5 V option and integrated boot diode. | Choose when adjustable output or smaller inductors are prioritized over simplicity and fixed-voltage assurance. |
Compared with LM22670MRX-5.0/NOPB, LM22671MRX-5.0/NOPB trades junction temperature headroom for lower cost in less demanding thermal environments, while TPS54340DDAR offers higher frequency and current but increases design complexity and component count.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM22670MRX-5.0/NOPB?
The absolute maximum input voltage for LM22670MRX-5.0/NOPB is 43 V, with recommended continuous operation limited to 42 V. This rating allows reliable operation directly from 24 V and 36 V industrial buses, including worst-case transients defined by ISO 7637-2 or IEC 61000-4-5 standards. Exceeding 43 V risks permanent damage to the internal N-channel MOSFET and gate driver circuitry.
Does LM22670MRX-5.0/NOPB require external feedback resistors?
No, LM22670MRX-5.0/NOPB does not require external feedback resistors. Its FB pin is internally connected to a precision 5.0 V reference with ±1.5% accuracy across –40°C to +125°C, enabling true fixed-output operation. This eliminates resistor tolerance errors, layout sensitivity, and thermal drift concerns associated with external dividers - a key advantage over adjustable regulators like LM22670-ADJ.
Can LM22670MRX-5.0/NOPB synchronize to an external clock?
Yes, LM22670MRX-5.0/NOPB can synchronize to an external clock applied to the RT/SYNC pin. The device detects synchronization mode during startup if the pin voltage is forced above ~0.8 V (e.g., by a CMOS clock signal). Valid sync frequencies range from >500 kHz up to 1 MHz, with rising-edge triggering. Loss of the external clock causes automatic fallback to the internal 500 kHz oscillator.
What thermal pad connection is required for LM22670MRX-5.0/NOPB?
The exposed thermal pad on LM22670MRX-5.0/NOPB (SO PowerPAD™-8 package) must be soldered to a solid PCB ground plane with ≥4 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter) connecting to inner-layer ground planes. This achieves the specified RθJA of 60°C/W (with 1 in² copper) and prevents junction temperature exceedance at full 3 A load. Leaving the pad unconnected degrades thermal performance by >40°C at rated current.
Is LM22670MRX-5.0/NOPB qualified for automotive applications?
No, LM22670MRX-5.0/NOPB is not AEC-Q100 qualified. It is the commercial/industrial variant. For automotive use, TI offers the LM22670QMRX-5.0/NOPB (Q1 grade), which is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified (–40°C to +125°C) and manufactured under automotive-specific process controls. The two share identical electrical specs and pinout but differ in qualification, test flow, and traceability documentation.
