Product details
Overview
LM22670QMR-ADJ/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 42-V, 3-A synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator in HSOP-8 PowerPAD™ package, featuring voltage-mode PWM control, internal loop compensation, and adjustable output down to 1.285 V. It integrates a 120-mΩ N-channel MOSFET switch, supports 200 kHz–1 MHz switching frequency adjustment via RT/SYNC pin, and delivers >90% efficiency in industrial power conversion applications.
For engineers reviewing the LM22670QMR-ADJ/NOPB datasheet, LM22670QMR-ADJ/NOPB pinout, LM22670QMR-ADJ/NOPB application, or LM22670QMR-ADJ/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include its 4.5–42 V input range, ±1.5% feedback reference accuracy, integrated bootstrap diode, precision enable threshold (1.6 V typ), and thermal shutdown at 150°C - all critical for robust 24-V rail conversion and automotive-grade power designs.
Technical Context
The LM22670QMR-ADJ/NOPB implements a voltage-mode PWM architecture 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, supporting stable operation with low-ESR ceramic capacitors and standard power inductors.
Functional modes include active regulation, precision enable-controlled shutdown (25 µA standby current), and self-protection features: cycle-by-cycle current limiting (ICL = 3.4 A typ), thermal shutdown (150°C), and minimum on-time (100 ns) enforced to ensure boot-strap capacitor recharge. Synchronization capability allows RT/SYNC pin to accept external clocks up to 1 MHz for EMI reduction.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 42 V - supports direct connection to 24-V, 12-V, and 5-V industrial rails without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | Up to 3 A continuous - sufficient for powering FPGAs, microcontrollers, and analog subsystems from single-stage buck conversion. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.285 V (typ), ±1.5% accuracy - enables precise adjustable output down to 1.285 V using external resistor divider. |
| Switching Frequency | 500 kHz default, adjustable 200 kHz–1 MHz - balances efficiency, component size, and EMI compliance in space-constrained layouts. |
| MOSFET RDS(on) | 120 mΩ (PFM package) - minimizes conduction loss at full load, contributing to >90% peak efficiency at 12 VIN/3.3 VOUT. |
| Enable Threshold | 1.6 V (typ), 0.6 V hysteresis - allows reliable power sequencing with simple resistor dividers from upstream supplies. |
| Operating Junction Temp | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for extended-temperature industrial and automotive environments (Q1 variant AEC-Q100 Grade 1). |
Pinout & Package
LM22670QMR-ADJ/NOPB is housed in an HSOP-8 PowerPAD™ package (4.89 mm × 3.90 mm) with exposed thermal pad soldered to PCB ground for enhanced thermal dissipation (RθJA = 60°C/W with 1-in² copper).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 SW | Switch Node Output | Drives external inductor; swings between GND and VIN; requires low-inductance layout to minimize EMI and ringing. |
| 2 VIN | Main Input Supply | Accepts 4.5–42 V; must be decoupled near pin with low-ESR ceramic capacitor to suppress high-frequency ripple. |
| 3 BOOT | Bootstrap Supply | Connects to SW via 10-nF ceramic capacitor; powers high-side gate driver; mandates minimum off-time for recharge. |
| 4 GND | Power Ground | System return path; ties to exposed pad; must be low-impedance plane for noise immunity and thermal performance. |
| 5 RT/SYNC | Oscillator Control | Selects mode: floating = 500 kHz, resistor-to-GND = 200 kHz–1 MHz, external clock = synchronization up to 1 MHz. |
| 6 FB | Feedback Input | Monitors output via resistor divider; internal 1.285 V reference sets VOUT = 1.285 × (1 + R1/R2); bias current 230 nA. |
| 7 EN | Enable Control | Active-high logic; 1.6 V threshold with 0.6 V hysteresis; internal 6 µA pullup allows direct VIN tie via 470-kΩ resistor. |
| 8 NC | No Connect | Not electrically bonded; may serve as thermal conductor; must not be routed or connected in PCB layout. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internally Compensated Voltage Mode Control | Eliminates need for external compensation network - reduces BOM count and design iteration time for 3.3 V/5 V/ADJ outputs. |
| Integrated Boot-Strap Diode | Removes external Schottky diode requirement - simplifies layout, improves reliability, and reduces footprint in HSOP-8 package. |
| Adjustable Switching Frequency & Synchronization | Enables EMI spread-spectrum tuning and multi-rail phase alignment - critical for noise-sensitive datacom and embedded systems. |
| Integrated Soft-Start (500 µs) | Prevents inrush current and output overshoot during power-up - avoids stress on downstream capacitors and ICs without external timing components. |
| Precision Enable with UVLO | Supports controlled power sequencing and battery discharge protection - dual functionality via single EN pin with programmable thresholds. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM22671QMR-ADJ/NOPB | Same pinout, 500-kHz fixed frequency only (no RT/SYNC adjust/sync), 100-mΩ MOSFET (SO PowerPAD-8) | Lacks frequency tuning - suitable where EMI profile is fixed and layout simplicity prioritized over flexibility. | Choose when design requires lower RDS(on) but does not need adjustable frequency or synchronization. |
| LM2596T-ADJ/NOPB | Lower VIN max (40 V), 3-A rating, 150-kHz fixed frequency, TO-220 package, no integrated bootstrap diode | Requires external bootstrap diode and larger magnetics; higher thermal resistance limits power density in compact designs. | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-space-constrained applications where 150-kHz switching and through-hole assembly are acceptable. |
Compared with LM22671QMR-ADJ/NOPB, the LM22670QMR-ADJ/NOPB offers frequency adjustability and synchronization at the cost of slightly higher RDS(on); versus LM2596T-ADJ/NOPB, it provides superior thermal performance, integrated bootstrap, and higher switching frequency for smaller passive components - making it optimal for modern high-density industrial and automotive PCBs.

FAQ
What is the minimum output voltage supported by the LM22670QMR-ADJ/NOPB?
The LM22670QMR-ADJ/NOPB supports a minimum output voltage of 1.285 V (typical), set by its internal feedback reference voltage. This value is specified over temperature (–40°C to +125°C) with ±1.5% accuracy, enabling precise low-voltage rail generation for modern microcontrollers and sensors without external trimming.
Does the LM22670QMR-ADJ/NOPB require an external bootstrap diode?
No, the LM22670QMR-ADJ/NOPB integrates a bootstrap diode internally, eliminating the need for an external Schottky diode. This reduces component count, PCB area, and potential failure points - a key differentiator from legacy controllers like the LM2596, and confirmed in the device's Feature Description section and Pin Functions table.
Can the LM22670QMR-ADJ/NOPB synchronize to an external clock?
Yes, the LM22670QMR-ADJ/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 or below ~0.8 V, accepts clocks up to 1 MHz, and locks to the rising edge - enabling EMI reduction and multi-rail phase alignment in complex power systems.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of the LM22670QMR-ADJ/NOPB in its HSOP-8 PowerPAD™ package?
The LM22670QMR-ADJ/NOPB in HSOP-8 PowerPAD™ package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 60°C/W when mounted on 1 in² of 2-oz copper. Actual values range from 42°C/W to 115°C/W depending on PCB copper area and thermal vias - underscoring the importance of proper exposed pad grounding per TI's layout guidelines.
How does the LM22670QMR-ADJ/NOPB handle overcurrent conditions?
The LM22670QMR-ADJ/NOPB employs cycle-by-cycle peak current limiting with a typical threshold of 3.4 A. Under sustained overload, it enters low-frequency foldback mode (~100 kHz) to limit power dissipation and prevent thermal runaway - a behavior explicitly documented in Section 7.4.3 and Electrical Characteristics tables of the SNVS584P datasheet.
