Product details
Overview
LM22670QTJE-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 delivers >90% efficiency at full load with 500-kHz default switching frequency and supports industrial power rails (24 V, 12 V) requiring robust input range and thermal resilience.
For engineers reviewing the LM22670QTJE-ADJ/NOPB datasheet, LM22670QTJE-ADJ/NOPB pinout, LM22670QTJE-ADJ/NOPB application, or LM22670QTJE-ADJ/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria 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 high-reliability buck converter design in constrained layouts.
Technical Context
The LM22670QTJE-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, shutdown (25 µA quiescent current), and current-limit protection with foldback during severe overloads. The RT/SYNC pin enables three distinct oscillator configurations: internal 500-kHz default, resistor-adjustable 200 kHz–1 MHz, or external synchronization - but not simultaneously.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 42 V - supports unregulated industrial and automotive rails without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | Up to 3 A continuous - sufficient for FPGA core, DSP, or microcontroller power domains. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.285 V (typ), ±1.5% - sets minimum adjustable output; enables precise VOUT via external resistor divider. |
| Switching Frequency | 500 kHz (default), adjustable 200 kHz–1 MHz - balances EMI, component size, and efficiency trade-offs. |
| RDS(ON) | 120 mΩ (PFM package) - reduces conduction loss at high load; validated for HSOP-8 thermal performance. |
| Enable Threshold | 1.6 V (typ), 0.6 V hysteresis - allows clean power sequencing with simple resistor dividers from upstream supplies. |
| Junction Temp Range | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for extended industrial environments without derating. |
Pinout & Package
LM22670QTJE-ADJ/NOPB uses the HSOP-8 PowerPAD™ package (4.89 mm × 3.90 mm) with exposed thermal pad soldered to PCB ground plane for enhanced heat dissipation (RθJA = 60°C/W with 1-in² copper).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 SW | Switch Node Output | Drives external inductor; swings from GND to VIN; requires low-inductance layout to minimize ringing. |
| 2 VIN | Main Input Supply | Accepts 4.5–42 V; powers internal circuitry and high-side MOSFET driver; bypass with ≥10 µF ceramic. |
| 3 BOOT | Bootstrap Capacitor Connection | Connects to SW and external 10 nF ceramic capacitor; enables floating gate drive for N-channel high-side switch. |
| 4 GND | Power Ground | System return path; tied to exposed pad; must be low-impedance connection for stability and thermal performance. |
| 5 RT/SYNC | Oscillator Control | Selects operating mode: floating = 500 kHz, resistor-to-GND = adjustable freq, external clock = sync - latched at startup. |
| 6 FB | Feedback Input | Senses output voltage via resistor divider; internal 1.285 V reference sets VOUT = 1.285 × (1 + R1/R2). |
| 7 EN | Enable Input | Logic-controlled ON/OFF; 1.6 V threshold with 0.6 V hysteresis; internal 6 µA pullup allows direct VIN tie with 470 kΩ resistor. |
| 8 EP | Exposed Thermal Pad | Internally connected to GND; must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal management and EMI reduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internally Compensated Control | Eliminates need for external compensation network - reduces BOM count and layout sensitivity for ≤5 V outputs. |
| Integrated Bootstrap Diode | Removes external bootstrap diode requirement - simplifies layout and improves reliability in high-frequency operation. |
| Adjustable Soft-Start | Fixed 500 µs ramp time - prevents inrush current and output overshoot during power-up without external components. |
| Stable with Ceramic Output Caps | Validated for low-ESR ceramic capacitors - enables compact, low-profile output filtering versus electrolytic alternatives. |
| WEBENCH® Enabled | Full online design support including component selection, thermal simulation, and schematic generation - accelerates prototyping. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM22671QWJE-ADJ/NOPB | Automotive-grade AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C), identical electrical specs and pinout. | Required for automotive safety-critical systems where qualification documentation and PPAP support are mandatory. | Select when automotive qualification, traceability, and extended temperature validation are required - otherwise LM22670QTJE-ADJ/NOPB suffices for industrial use. |
| LM2596T-ADJ/NOPB | Lower 40-V max input, 3-A rating, but fixed 150-kHz switching and no RT/SYNC or soft-start; TO-220 package. | Suitable for cost-sensitive, non-EMI-critical applications where board space and thermal performance are less constrained. | Choose only if 500-kHz operation, synchronization, or HSOP-8 thermal profile are not needed - LM22670QTJE-ADJ/NOPB offers superior integration and performance. |
Compared with LM22671QWJE-ADJ/NOPB, the LM22670QTJE-ADJ/NOPB lacks AEC-Q100 certification but matches all electrical and thermal specs for industrial use; versus LM2596T-ADJ/NOPB, it provides higher frequency, better accuracy, integrated soft-start, and superior thermal packaging - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-performance buck designs.

FAQ
What is the minimum output voltage achievable with LM22670QTJE-ADJ/NOPB?
The LM22670QTJE-ADJ/NOPB has a nominal feedback reference voltage of 1.285 V, which sets the lowest possible output voltage when the FB pin is directly connected to VOUT (i.e., no resistor divider). This value is specified with ±1.5% accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, making 1.285 V the practical minimum for stable regulation. Lower voltages are not supported due to internal reference architecture.
Does LM22670QTJE-ADJ/NOPB require an external bootstrap diode?
No, the LM22670QTJE-ADJ/NOPB integrates a bootstrap diode internally, eliminating the need for an external component between BOOT and SW pins. Users must still place a 10-nF ceramic capacitor directly between BOOT and SW with short, wide PCB traces to ensure proper gate drive for the high-side N-channel MOSFET - a key design requirement confirmed in the official datasheet.
Can LM22670QTJE-ADJ/NOPB synchronize to an external clock?
Yes, LM22670QTJE-ADJ/NOPB supports external synchronization via the RT/SYNC pin, provided the incoming clock signal meets datasheet specifications: rising-edge triggered, frequency between 500 kHz and 1 MHz, amplitude compliant with VSYNC thresholds (1.75 V min), and stable during startup. Synchronization mode is latched at power-on and reverts to 500 kHz if the external clock is lost during operation.
What thermal pad connection is required for LM22670QTJE-ADJ/NOPB?
The exposed thermal pad (EP) of LM22670QTJE-ADJ/NOPB must be soldered to a PCB ground plane with adequate copper area (minimum 1 in² recommended) to achieve the specified RθJA of 60°C/W. TI's datasheet explicitly states the pad is internally connected to GND - omitting this connection degrades thermal performance and risks junction temperature exceedance under 3-A load conditions.
How does the enable function behave during input undervoltage conditions?
The LM22670QTJE-ADJ/NOPB features dual enable control: a precision EN pin (1.6 V threshold) and internal UVLO (4.3 V rising, 3.9 V falling). When VIN drops below UVLO thresholds, the device shuts down regardless of EN state. However, EN can be used independently - e.g., with a resistor divider - to set a custom turn-on voltage above UVLO, preventing premature activation during cold-crank or brownout events.
