Product details
Overview
LM22678TJ-ADJ/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 42-V input, 5-A synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator with adjustable output (down to 1.285 V), 500-kHz fixed-frequency voltage-mode control, and integrated 100-mΩ N-channel MOSFET. It operates from –40°C to 125°C junction temperature and delivers >90% efficiency in industrial power conversion applications.
For engineers reviewing the LM22678TJ-ADJ/NOPB datasheet, LM22678TJ-ADJ/NOPB pinout, LM22678TJ-ADJ/NOPB application, or LM22678TJ-ADJ/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its internally compensated loop, precision enable threshold (1.6 V typ.), ±1.5% feedback reference accuracy, thermal shutdown at 150°C, and compatibility with low-ESR ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The LM22678TJ-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 outputs ≤5 V, eliminating external compensation components.
It integrates a bootstrap diode, soft-start (500 µs typ.), undervoltage lockout (UVLO rising threshold 4.3 V), and cycle-by-cycle current limiting (6.0–8.4 A). The exposed-pad TO-263-7 package provides thermal performance of 22°C/W (1-in² copper).

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 | 3-A output rating, same 42-V input, identical pinout and compensation architecture | Lower current capability - suitable where load <3 A and thermal margin is constrained | Select when full 5-A capability is unnecessary and cost/size optimization is prioritized |
| LM61460QWRVRRQ1 | 6-A output, 3–36-V input, lower quiescent current (26 µA), integrated EMI filtering, AEC-Q100 Grade 1 | Automotive-qualified with improved light-load efficiency and EMI performance - requires layout revision | Choose for new automotive designs or where <100-µA standby and CISPR-25 compliance are mandatory |
Compared with LM22678TJ-ADJ/NOPB, LM22670TJ-ADJ/NOPB offers reduced current capacity in the same footprint, while LM61460QWRVRRQ1 provides higher current, wider low-end VIN range, and automotive qualification - but demands updated layout and component selection.

FAQ
What is the minimum output voltage supported by the LM22678TJ-ADJ/NOPB?
The LM22678TJ-ADJ/NOPB supports a minimum output voltage of 1.285 V, set by its internal feedback reference voltage. This value is specified with ±1.5% accuracy over temperature (–40°C to 125°C) and line, enabling precise low-voltage regulation for modern MCUs and FPGAs. The FB pin must be connected to a resistor divider between VOUT and GND to configure any output ≥1.285 V.
Does the LM22678TJ-ADJ/NOPB require an external bootstrap diode?
No, the LM22678TJ-ADJ/NOPB integrates a bootstrap diode internally. A 10-nF ceramic capacitor must still be placed between BOOT and SW pins to provide gate drive voltage for the high-side MOSFET, but no external diode is needed - reducing component count, layout area, and potential failure points in the bootstrap circuit.
What thermal performance can be expected from the LM22678TJ-ADJ/NOPB in a standard PCB layout?
With 1 square inch of 2-oz copper connected to the exposed pad, the LM22678TJ-ADJ/NOPB achieves a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 22°C/W. Actual performance varies between 20–30°C/W depending on copper area and airflow. For 5-A continuous operation at 42-V input, thermal design must ensure junction temperature remains ≤125°C under worst-case ambient and load conditions.
How does the enable pin (EN) function on the LM22678TJ-ADJ/NOPB?
The EN pin on the LM22678TJ-ADJ/NOPB provides precision ON/OFF control with a 1.6-V typical threshold and 0.6-V hysteresis. Pulling EN below 1.6 V disables the regulator, reducing input current to 25 µA (typ.). An internal 6-µA pullup allows direct connection to VIN via a 470-kΩ resistor for simple turn-on. EN also supports external UVLO using a resistor divider for programmable input voltage turn-on thresholds.
Is the LM22678TJ-ADJ/NOPB compatible with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, the LM22678TJ-ADJ/NOPB is explicitly designed to be stable with low-ESR ceramic capacitors - including X7R and X5R MLCCs - eliminating the need for bulkier aluminum or tantalum types. This compatibility reduces board area, improves reliability, and enhances transient response. TI recommends ≥22-µF total ceramic output capacitance with appropriate voltage rating for optimal stability and ripple suppression.
