Product details
Overview
LM22670QTJ-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 (≥1.285 V), 500-kHz default switching frequency, ±1.5% feedback reference accuracy, and integrated bootstrap diode - used for industrial power conversion from 24-V/12-V rails.
For engineers reviewing the LM22670QTJ-ADJ/NOPB datasheet, LM22670QTJ-ADJ/NOPB pinout, LM22670QTJ-ADJ/NOPB application, or LM22670QTJ-ADJ/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (4.5–42 V), thermal performance with exposed pad, internal compensation for ≤5-V outputs, and RT/SYNC pin configurability for frequency adjustment or synchronization.
Technical Context
The LM22670QTJ-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 output voltages ≤5 V and supports ceramic output capacitors with low ESR.
It integrates a 120-mΩ N-channel MOSFET switch, precision enable input (1.6 V threshold, 0.6 V hysteresis), and soft-start (500 µs typical). The BOOT–SW bootstrap circuit requires a 10-nF ceramic capacitor, and minimum off-time ensures reliable gate drive recharge under ≥5-mA load conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 42 V - supports direct regulation from 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% - enables precise adjustable output down to 1.285 V; stable over –40°C to +125°C junction temperature. |
| Switching Frequency | 500 kHz (default), adjustable 200 kHz–1 MHz via RT/SYNC resistor - balances efficiency, EMI, and external component size. |
| RDS(ON) | 120 mΩ (PFM package) - reduces conduction loss at full load; thermally enhanced by exposed pad tied to PCB ground. |
| Quiescent Current | 3.4 mA (active), 25 µA (shutdown) - enables low-power standby in battery-backed or always-on industrial controllers. |
| Thermal Resistance | RθJA = 60°C/W (HSOP-8 with 1-in² copper) - requires minimal heatsinking for 3-A operation at ambient ≤85°C. |
Pinout & Package
LM22670QTJ-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. The pad must be soldered to a dedicated PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 SW | Switch Node | High-current switching output connected to inductor; swings between ~0 V and VIN; requires low-inductance layout. |
| 2 VIN | Input Supply | Main power input (4.5–42 V); decoupling capacitor must be placed adjacent to this pin and GND. |
| 3 BOOT | Bootstrap Supply | Connects to SW via 10-nF ceramic capacitor; supplies gate drive for high-side MOSFET; not internally connected. |
| 4 GND | Power Ground | Analog and power ground reference; ties to exposed pad; must be low-impedance connection to system ground. |
| 5 RT/SYNC | Oscillator Control | Configures frequency mode: floating = 500 kHz, resistor-to-GND = 200 kHz–1 MHz, external clock = sync mode. |
| 6 FB | Feedback Input | Monitors output via resistive divider; sets regulated voltage as VOUT = 1.285 V × (1 + R1/R2). |
| 7 EN | Enable Input | Logic-level ON/OFF control; 1.6 V threshold with 0.6 V hysteresis; internal 6-µA pullup allows floating-high operation. |
| 8 NC | No Connect | Not electrically bonded; no internal connection; must remain unconnected on PCB. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internally Compensated Loop | Eliminates need for external compensation network; optimized for ≤5-V outputs using standard ceramic capacitors. |
| Integrated Bootstrap Diode | Reduces BOM count and layout complexity; eliminates discrete bootstrap diode while maintaining reliable high-side gate drive. |
| Precision Enable with UVLO | Enables controlled power sequencing and prevents startup below 4.3 V input; supports external UVLO using resistor divider. |
| Soft-Start (500 µs) | Prevents inrush current and output overshoot during startup; resets automatically on shutdown or thermal fault. |
| Thermal Shutdown & Current Limit | Protects against sustained overload or ambient overheating; triggers at 150°C junction temp and ~3.4–5.5 A peak switch current. |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drive I/O Power | Telecom Line Card Bias Supply |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM22671QTJ-ADJ/NOPB | Same pinout and features, but rated for 45-V max input and includes improved thermal performance (RθJA = 55°C/W). | Better suited for 36-V automotive systems with higher transient margin; identical FB accuracy and soft-start timing. | Select when operating near 42-V limit or requiring extended thermal headroom in sealed enclosures. |
| TPS54340DDAR | 42-V, 3.5-A regulator with current-mode control, adjustable soft-start, and lower RDS(ON) (95 mΩ), but requires external compensation. | Offers faster transient response and higher current capability, but increases design complexity with compensation network. | Choose when dynamic load regulation is critical and layout space allows for compensation components. |
Compared with LM22670QTJ-ADJ/NOPB, LM22671QTJ-ADJ/NOPB extends input voltage margin and thermal capability without changing footprint or control interface, while TPS54340DDAR trades internal compensation for higher current and current-mode benefits - making LM22670QTJ-ADJ/NOPB optimal for rapid, low-risk designs needing fixed-frequency simplicity and ceramic-capacitor compatibility.

FAQ
What is the minimum output voltage supported by the LM22670QTJ-ADJ/NOPB?
The LM22670QTJ-ADJ/NOPB supports a minimum output voltage of 1.285 V (typical feedback reference voltage), as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value is specified over –40°C to +125°C junction temperature and applies directly to the LM22670QTJ-ADJ/NOPB when configured with appropriate FB divider resistors. Output voltages below 1.285 V are not achievable due to internal reference limitation.
Does the LM22670QTJ-ADJ/NOPB require an external bootstrap diode?
No, the LM22670QTJ-ADJ/NOPB integrates a bootstrap diode internally, eliminating the need for an external component. As stated in the Features section and Functional Block Diagram, this integration simplifies layout and reduces BOM count. A 10-nF ceramic capacitor must still be placed between BOOT and SW pins to complete the bootstrap supply path for the high-side MOSFET gate driver.
Can the LM22670QTJ-ADJ/NOPB synchronize to an external clock?
Yes, the LM22670QTJ-ADJ/NOPB supports external clock synchronization via the RT/SYNC pin. When an external clock signal (1.75 V threshold, rising-edge triggered, 200 kHz–1 MHz) is applied, the device latches into sync mode at startup. The datasheet specifies maximum synchronization frequency of 1 MHz and requires the external clock to exceed the internal 500-kHz oscillator frequency to enter this mode reliably.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of the LM22670QTJ-ADJ/NOPB in its HSOP-8 package?
The LM22670QTJ-ADJ/NOPB in HSOP-8 PowerPAD™ package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 60°C/W when mounted on 1 square inch of 2-oz copper. This value assumes proper soldering of the exposed thermal pad to the PCB ground plane. Actual RθJA may range from 42°C/W to 115°C/W depending on PCB copper area and thermal vias - per Thermal Information Table 6.5.
Is the LM22670QTJ-ADJ/NOPB pin-compatible with the LM22670-5.0 variants?
Yes, the LM22670QTJ-ADJ/NOPB is pin-compatible with other LM22670 variants including LM22670-5.0/NOPB, as confirmed by the shared Pin Configuration and Functions table for the HSOP-8 package. Both share identical pin numbering, functions, and package dimensions (4.89 mm × 3.90 mm), allowing direct substitution in designs where feedback configuration differs but layout remains unchanged.
