Product details
Overview
LM22674QMRX-ADJ/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 42 V input, 500 mA adjustable-output synchronous buck DC-DC regulator in an HSOP-8 PowerPAD package. It integrates a 200 mΩ N-channel MOSFET switch, operates at 500 kHz fixed frequency, delivers ±1.5% feedback reference accuracy (1.285 V), and supports industrial temperature range (–40°C to 125°C). It is used in point-of-load conversion for telecom power supplies and embedded systems requiring stable low-noise 3.3 V or 5 V rails.
For engineers reviewing the LM22674QMRX-ADJ/NOPB datasheet, LM22674QMRX-ADJ/NOPB pinout, LM22674QMRX-ADJ/NOPB application, or LM22674QMRX-ADJ/NOPB equivalent, this page provides verified pin functions, thermal design guidance, soft-start timing (500 µs), enable threshold (1.6 V typ), and real-world stability constraints for ceramic-capacitor-based designs.
Technical Context
The LM22674QMRX-ADJ/NOPB implements voltage-mode PWM control with input voltage feedforward to stabilize loop gain across wide VIN ranges (4.5 V to 42 V). Its internal Type III compensation network is optimized for output voltages ≤5 V, enabling stable operation with low-ESR ceramic output capacitors without external compensation components.
It features integrated bootstrap diode, precision enable input with 0.6 V hysteresis, and thermal shutdown at 150°C. Minimum on-time (100 ns) and off-time (200 ns) constrain duty-cycle limits, directly impacting maximum achievable step-down ratio and minimum input voltage before dropout under full load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 42 V - supports direct connection to 24 V industrial rails and 36 V automotive battery transients. |
| Output Current | 500 mA - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, FPGAs, and analog signal chains in space-constrained designs. |
| Switching Frequency | 500 kHz - enables use of compact 3.3 µH–10 µH inductors and reduces output ripple without compromising transient response. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.285 V ±1.5% - sets minimum adjustable output; combined with external resistor divider, supports 1.285 V to >42 V outputs. |
| RDS(ON) | 0.24 Ω (max) - limits conduction loss at 500 mA, contributing to >90% peak efficiency in typical 12 V → 3.3 V designs. |
| Quiescent Current | 3.4 mA (typ) - ensures low no-load power draw in always-on subsystems such as sensor interfaces. |
| Soft-Start Time | 500 µs (typ) - prevents inrush current during power-up, eliminating need for external soft-start circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
LM22674QMRX-ADJ/NOPB uses the HSOP-8 PowerPAD (DDA) package (4.89 mm × 3.90 mm) with exposed thermal pad soldered to PCB ground plane for enhanced thermal dissipation (RθJA = 60°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BOOT | Bootstrap supply node | Connects external 10 nF ceramic capacitor to SW; supplies gate drive voltage for internal high-side MOSFET. |
| EN | Enable control input | Logic-compatible input with 1.6 V turn-on threshold and 0.6 V hysteresis; draws only 6 µA when active. |
| SW | Switch node | Drives external inductor; swings from GND to VIN; requires low-inductance layout to minimize EMI and switching losses. |
| FB | Feedback sensing input | High-impedance (230 nA bias) node monitoring output via resistor divider; placement near output capacitor critical for noise immunity. |
| GND | Power and signal ground | Common return for power stage and control circuitry; must be tied to exposed pad for thermal and electrical integrity. |
| VIN | Main power input | Accepts 4.5–42 V; requires local 10 µF ceramic input capacitor placed within 5 mm of VIN and GND pins. |
| NC (Pins 2,3) | No-connect terminals | Thermally conductive but electrically isolated; may be left unconnected or grounded for mechanical stability. |
| EP (Exposed Pad) | Thermal & ground interface | Mandatory solder connection to large PCB copper area tied to system GND; primary path for heat removal. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internally compensated voltage-mode control | Eliminates need for external compensation network; simplifies design for 1.285 V–5 V outputs while maintaining phase margin >45°. |
| Integrated bootstrap diode | Removes requirement for external bootstrap diode, reducing BOM count and PCB footprint in high-side gate drive path. |
| Stable with ceramic output capacitors | Supports low-ESR, high-frequency ceramic caps (e.g., 22 µF X5R) - avoids bulk electrolytics and improves long-term reliability. |
| Precision enable with UVLO override | EN pin allows sequencing with other rails; also configurable as external undervoltage lockout (e.g., disable below 9 V) using resistor divider. |
| WEBENCH®-enabled design support | TI's online tool generates complete bill-of-materials, simulates efficiency/thermal performance, and exports layout-ready Gerber files. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM22670QMRX-ADJ/NOPB | Same pinout, 300 kHz switching frequency, higher RDS(ON) (0.32 Ω), lower max input (36 V). | Better suited for cost-sensitive, lower-frequency designs where EMI filtering is less constrained. | Select when 300 kHz operation suffices and input voltage never exceeds 36 V. |
| TPS54302DDAR | 3.5 V–28 V input, 3 A output, 500 kHz, integrated high-/low-side MOSFETs, no BOOT pin required. | Higher current capability and wider VIN range than LM22674QMRX-ADJ/NOPB but requires external compensation. | Choose for 3 A loads or when needing higher integration beyond 500 mA; not drop-in compatible due to different pinout and control architecture. |
Compared with LM22674QMRX-ADJ/NOPB, the LM22670QMRX-ADJ/NOPB trades switching speed and input voltage headroom for lower cost, while the TPS54302DDAR offers higher current and integrated dual-FET topology at the expense of added design complexity and non-pin-compatibility.

FAQ
What is the minimum output voltage supported by the LM22674QMRX-ADJ/NOPB?
The LM22674QMRX-ADJ/NOPB supports a minimum output voltage equal to its internal feedback reference voltage of 1.285 V (typical), with ±1.5% accuracy over –40°C to 125°C. This value is fixed by the bandgap reference and cannot be reduced further, even with external resistor scaling. Output voltages below 1.285 V require a different regulator architecture.
Does the LM22674QMRX-ADJ/NOPB require an external bootstrap diode?
No, the LM22674QMRX-ADJ/NOPB integrates a bootstrap diode internally. Only an external 10 nF ceramic capacitor between BOOT and SW pins is required to form the floating gate-drive supply. Adding an external diode is unnecessary and may interfere with proper boot capacitor charging.
Can the LM22674QMRX-ADJ/NOPB operate with 100% duty cycle?
No, the LM22674QMRX-ADJ/NOPB has a minimum off-time specification of 200 ns (typ), preventing true 100% duty cycle operation. This limitation ensures reliable recharging of the bootstrap capacitor each switching cycle. As a result, the device cannot maintain regulation if VOUT ≥ VIN – (ILOAD × RDS(ON)), and dropout occurs below ~4.5 V input for low-VOUT configurations.
What is the purpose of the NC pins (2 and 3) on the LM22674QMRX-ADJ/NOPB?
Pins 2 and 3 of the LM22674QMRX-ADJ/NOPB are no-connect (NC) terminals - they are not electrically bonded to the die but serve as thermal conduction paths from the package mold compound to the PCB. They may be left floating or connected to GND for improved mechanical anchoring and thermal spreading, but must never be routed to active signals.
How does the LM22674QMRX-ADJ/NOPB handle short-circuit conditions?
Under short-circuit, the LM22674QMRX-ADJ/NOPB enters low-frequency current foldback mode (~100 kHz) after tripping its 0.7 A (typ) peak current limit. This reduces power dissipation and prevents thermal runaway. Recovery requires reducing load current significantly below the foldback threshold - hysteresis ensures stable re-entry into normal PWM mode once fault clears.
