Product details
Overview
LM22676QTJ-ADJ/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 42 V, 3 A adjustable-output synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator in an 8-pin SO PowerPAD package. It integrates a 120 mΩ N-channel MOSFET switch, operates at 500 kHz fixed frequency, delivers ±1.5% feedback reference accuracy (1.285 V), and supports input voltages from 4.5 V to 42 V - ideal for industrial power conversion from 12 V or 24 V rails.
For engineers reviewing the LM22676QTJ-ADJ/NOPB datasheet, LM22676QTJ-ADJ/NOPB pinout, LM22676QTJ-ADJ/NOPB application, or LM22676QTJ-ADJ/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its internally compensated voltage-mode control, integrated bootstrap diode, precision enable with 1.6 V threshold and 0.6 V hysteresis, 25 µA shutdown current, and thermal shutdown at 150°C.
Technical Context
The LM22676QTJ-ADJ/NOPB implements a voltage-mode PWM controller with input voltage feedforward to stabilize loop gain across wide VIN ranges. Its internal Type III compensation is optimized for output voltages ≤5 V, enabling stable operation with low-ESR ceramic capacitors without external compensation components.
It uses a floating high-side gate driver powered by an external bootstrap capacitor (10 nF) between BOOT and SW pins. Minimum on-time (100 ns) and off-time (200 ns) constraints govern duty-cycle limits, while current limiting (3.4–5.3 A) and thermal shutdown (150°C trip, 135°C recovery) provide fault protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 42 V - supports direct regulation from unregulated 12 V, 24 V, or 36 V industrial rails. |
| Output Current | Up to 3 A continuous - sufficient for powering FPGAs, microcontrollers, and analog subsystems. |
| Switching Frequency | 500 kHz (±20%) - enables compact magnetics and good transient response without EMI concerns. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.285 V ±1.5% - sets minimum adjustable output; used with external resistor divider for precise VOUT. |
| MOSFET RDS(on) | 120 mΩ (typ) - reduces conduction loss and improves efficiency (>90% typical at mid-load). |
| Quiescent Current | 3.4 mA (typ) - ensures low no-load power draw in always-on systems. |
| Shutdown Current | 25 µA (typ) - enables ultra-low-power system-level sequencing and standby modes. |
| Enable Threshold | 1.6 V (typ), 0.6 V hysteresis - allows clean, noise-immune power-up/down control via resistor dividers. |
Pinout & Package
LM22676QTJ-ADJ/NOPB is housed in an 8-pin SO PowerPAD (DDA) package with exposed thermal pad soldered to PCB ground for enhanced thermal performance (RθJA = 60°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 SW | Switch node | Drives external inductor; swings from GND to VIN; connects to cathode of Schottky catch diode. |
| 2 VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 4.5–42 V; requires local 10 µF ceramic bypass capacitor near pin. |
| 3 BOOT | Bootstrap supply | Connects to SW via 10 nF ceramic capacitor; powers high-side gate driver. |
| 4 GND | Power and signal ground | System common return; must be tied to exposed pad for thermal and electrical integrity. |
| 5 EN | Enable control | Logic-compatible input; <1.6 V disables regulator (25 µA IQ); >2.2 V enables. |
| 6 FB | Feedback input | High-impedance (230 nA bias) node sensing output voltage via resistive divider. |
| 7 NC | No connect | Not electrically bonded; serves as thermal conductor only - must be left floating or grounded. |
| 8 NC | No connect | Not electrically bonded; serves as thermal conductor only - must be left floating or grounded. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internally compensated voltage-mode control | Eliminates need for external compensation network - simplifies design and improves robustness across load/line variations. |
| Integrated bootstrap diode | Reduces BOM count and layout complexity by eliminating discrete bootstrap diode in high-side driver path. |
| Stable with low-ESR ceramic capacitors | Enables use of compact, high-reliability MLCCs instead of bulkier electrolytics - improves long-term stability and temperature performance. |
| 500 µs internal soft-start | Prevents inrush current and output overshoot during power-up - avoids stress on downstream circuitry and input source. |
| Precision enable with UVLO | Allows controlled sequencing and external undervoltage lockout (VIN < 3.9 V disables operation) - protects against brownout conditions. |
| Thermal shutdown + current limit | Provides autonomous fault recovery: shuts down at 150°C junction, restarts at ~135°C; limits peak switch current to prevent damage. |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Control | Telecom Power 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM22670TJ-ADJ/NOPB | Same architecture but PSOP-8 package (NDR thermal metric: 22°C/W); 100 mΩ RDS(on); identical electrical specs. | Better thermal performance in high-power density layouts due to lower RθJA; requires different footprint and reflow profile. | Select when board space permits larger PSOP-8 and thermal management is critical above 2.5 A continuous. |
| LM2596T-ADJ/NOPB | Lower 40 V max input; 3 A rating; 150 kHz switching; external compensation required; no integrated bootstrap diode. | Suitable for cost-sensitive, lower-frequency designs where EMI filtering is easier; lacks precision enable and soft-start. | Choose only if 500 kHz switching is unnecessary and layout area allows external compensation components. |
Compared with LM22676QTJ-ADJ/NOPB, the LM22670TJ-ADJ/NOPB offers superior thermal resistance but requires PCB redesign, while the LM2596T-ADJ/NOPB sacrifices integration and performance for cost - making LM22676QTJ-ADJ/NOPB optimal for space-constrained, thermally demanding 42 V industrial applications.

FAQ
What is the minimum output voltage achievable with LM22676QTJ-ADJ/NOPB?
The LM22676QTJ-ADJ/NOPB has a nominal feedback reference voltage of 1.285 V with ±1.5% accuracy over temperature. This sets the practical minimum output voltage when using the ADJ version - no external components can reduce VOUT below this reference. The device cannot regulate below 1.285 V, and attempting to do so results in loss of regulation. Therefore, LM22676QTJ-ADJ/NOPB is not suitable for sub-1.285 V applications such as core voltage scaling for advanced processors.
Does LM22676QTJ-ADJ/NOPB require an external bootstrap diode?
No, LM22676QTJ-ADJ/NOPB integrates a bootstrap diode internally, eliminating the need for an external diode between BOOT and SW pins. This simplifies layout and reduces BOM count. Only a 10 nF ceramic capacitor is required between BOOT and SW to form the bootstrap supply. Using an external diode with LM22676QTJ-ADJ/NOPB is unnecessary and may interfere with proper gate drive operation.
Can LM22676QTJ-ADJ/NOPB operate with ceramic output capacitors only?
Yes, LM22676QTJ-ADJ/NOPB is explicitly characterized and stabilized for use with low-ESR ceramic capacitors - a key design feature confirmed in the datasheet. Unlike older controllers requiring tantalum or aluminum electrolytics for phase margin, LM22676QTJ-ADJ/NOPB's internal Type III compensation ensures stability with typical 10–47 µF X5R/X7R MLCCs. This enables smaller footprint, longer lifetime, and improved temperature stability versus electrolytic solutions.
What is the purpose of the NC pins on LM22676QTJ-ADJ/NOPB?
The two NC pins (pins 7 and 8) on LM22676QTJ-ADJ/NOPB are not electrically connected to internal circuitry. They serve solely as thermal conductors - part of the SO PowerPAD package's thermal enhancement structure. These pins must be either left floating or connected to PCB ground (same net as exposed pad) to improve heat transfer from the die to the board. Connecting them to any other net may compromise thermal performance or cause unintended coupling.
How does the enable function behave during input undervoltage conditions?
LM22676QTJ-ADJ/NOPB features dual-stage input protection: built-in UVLO (rising threshold ~4.3 V, falling ~3.9 V) and a precision enable pin (EN) with 1.6 V threshold and 0.6 V hysteresis. When VIN drops below UVLO thresholds, the regulator disables regardless of EN state. However, EN provides programmable control - pulling EN <1.6 V forces shutdown even if VIN is valid, while leaving EN open or >2.2 V enables operation subject to UVLO. This allows flexible sequencing and custom brownout thresholds beyond the internal UVLO limits.
