Product details
Overview
LM22673QMRX-5.0/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 42 V, 3 A synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator in an HSOP-8 PowerPAD package, featuring fixed 5.0 V output, 500 kHz switching frequency, ±1.5% feedback reference accuracy, and integrated bootstrap diode. It delivers >90% efficiency across 4.5–42 V input for industrial power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LM22673QMRX-5.0/NOPB datasheet, LM22673QMRX-5.0/NOPB pinout, LM22673QMRX-5.0/NOPB application, or LM22673QMRX-5.0/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its automotive-grade AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification (–40°C to +125°C), adjustable current limit via IADJ pin, soft-start timing control, thermal shutdown at 150°C, and compatibility with low-ESR ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The LM22673QMRX-5.0/NOPB implements voltage-mode PWM control with input voltage feedforward to stabilize loop gain against VIN variation, enabling optimized transient response. Its internal Type III compensation is tuned for fixed 5 V output operation, eliminating external compensation components.
It integrates a 120 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 (200 ns) constraints define practical input-output voltage conversion limits, while current foldback protects during severe overloads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 42 V - supports direct regulation from 12 V, 24 V, and 42 V industrial/automotive rails without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0 V ±1.5% - eliminates external feedback divider; enables plug-and-play 5 V rail generation. |
| Max Output Current | 3 A - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and interface ICs in embedded systems. |
| Switching Frequency | 500 kHz - allows compact magnetics and ceramic capacitors; balances EMI and efficiency. |
| RDS(ON) | 120 mΩ (PFM package) - reduces conduction loss at full load; contributes to >90% peak efficiency. |
| Operating Junction Temp | –40°C to +125°C - meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements for under-hood automotive use. |
| Soft-Start Time | Adjustable via SS pin capacitor - prevents inrush current; default ~500 µs with no external cap. |
Pinout & Package
LM22673QMRX-5.0/NOPB uses the HSOP-8 PowerPAD (DDA) package with exposed thermal pad soldered to PCB ground for enhanced thermal dissipation (RθJA = 60°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Power Input | Primary DC input (4.5–42 V); connects to bulk capacitance and EMI filter. |
| SW | Switch Node | Drives external inductor; swings from GND to VIN; requires tight layout to minimize ringing. |
| BOOT | Bootstrap Supply | Connects to SW via 10 nF ceramic capacitor; supplies gate drive for internal high-side MOSFET. |
| FB | Feedback Input | Internally tied to 5 V reference; shorted directly to VOUT for fixed-output operation. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Analog and power ground; must be connected to exposed pad for thermal and noise performance. |
| SS | Soft-Start Control | Sinks 50 µA current; external capacitor sets ramp time; resets on shutdown or thermal fault. |
| IADJ | Current Limit Adjust | Resistor-to-GND sets peak switch current (default 4.2 A); floating = factory setting. |
| EP | Exposed Pad | Thermal and electrical connection to PCB ground plane; mandatory for thermal reliability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Bootstrap Diode | Eliminates external bootstrap diode; reduces BOM count and layout area in buck topology. |
| Adjustable Current Limit | Single resistor from IADJ to GND scales peak switch current from ~2.5 A to 4.2 A, enabling design margin tuning. |
| Stable with Ceramic Capacitors | Internal compensation ensures stability with low-ESR ceramic output caps-no tantalum or electrolytic required. |
| AEC-Q100 Qualified | Grade 1 qualification (–40°C to +125°C) confirms suitability for automotive power modules and ADAS ECUs. |
| UVLO with Hysteresis | Turn-on at 4.3 V, turn-off at 3.9 V - prevents erratic startup during brownout conditions on vehicle battery rails. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Power | Automotive Body Control Module |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM22674QMRX-5.0/NOPB | Same pinout, 500 kHz, but rated for 5 A output and 100 mΩ RDS(ON) in SO PowerPAD package. | Higher current capability suits designs scaling beyond 3 A; requires larger thermal pad footprint. | Select when future-proofing for higher load or lower conduction loss is needed; not drop-in due to package thermal profile difference. |
| TPS54340QDDARQ1 | 42 V, 3.5 A, 500 kHz, but uses current-mode control and requires external compensation; no integrated bootstrap diode. | Better light-load efficiency via Eco-mode; more flexible loop tuning but increases design complexity. | Choose when dynamic load regulation or ultra-low quiescent current (<100 µA) is prioritized over simplicity. |
Compared with LM22674QMRX-5.0/NOPB and TPS54340QDDARQ1, the LM22673QMRX-5.0/NOPB offers the simplest implementation for fixed 5 V, 3 A applications-requiring only input/output capacitors, inductor, and optional soft-start cap-while meeting automotive temperature and qualification requirements out of the box.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM22673QMRX-5.0/NOPB?
The absolute maximum input voltage for LM22673QMRX-5.0/NOPB is 43 V, with recommended operating range from 4.5 V to 42 V. This allows direct regulation from 24 V and 42 V industrial or automotive supply rails, including transient conditions like ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a (load dump). Operation above 42 V risks exceeding safe operating area limits and triggering thermal shutdown.
Does LM22673QMRX-5.0/NOPB require an external feedback resistor divider?
No, LM22673QMRX-5.0/NOPB does not require an external feedback resistor divider because it features a factory-trimmed internal 5.0 V reference. The FB pin is connected directly to the output for fixed 5 V operation. External dividers are only needed for adjustable versions (e.g., LM22673-ADJ) or when generating voltages above 5 V using the -5.0 variant.
How is current limit adjusted on LM22673QMRX-5.0/NOPB?
Current limit on LM22673QMRX-5.0/NOPB is adjusted by connecting a resistor between the IADJ pin and GND. With IADJ floating, the device defaults to ~4.2 A peak switch current. Adding a resistor sets the limit per Figure 12 in the datasheet; for example, a 10 kΩ resistor yields ~2.8 A. Accuracy degrades to ±35%/–25% when adjusted, versus ±15% at default.
What thermal management is required for LM22673QMRX-5.0/NOPB at full 3 A load?
At 3 A continuous load with 12 V input and 5 V output, LM22673QMRX-5.0/NOPB dissipates ~1.2 W. To maintain junction temperature ≤125°C, the HSOP-8 PowerPAD package requires a minimum 200 mm² copper pour connected to the exposed pad (EP) on inner or outer PCB layers. Thermal vias (≥6×0.3 mm) to internal ground planes are strongly recommended to achieve the specified RθJA of 60°C/W.
Is LM22673QMRX-5.0/NOPB compatible with WEBENCH® design tools?
Yes, LM22673QMRX-5.0/NOPB is fully WEBENCH® enabled. TI's WEBENCH® Designer tool supports complete schematic generation, BOM creation, efficiency simulation, thermal analysis, and PCB layout guidance for this part. Users can input input/output specifications and constraints to auto-generate optimized designs-including inductor, capacitor, and diode selection-with real-time performance validation.
