Product details
Overview
LM22678TJE-ADJ/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 42-V input, 5-A synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator in a TO-263-7 (PFM) package, featuring internally compensated voltage-mode control, 500-kHz fixed switching frequency, ±1.5% feedback reference accuracy, and integrated bootstrap diode and soft-start. It delivers up to 5 A at adjustable output voltages as low as 1.285 V and is used in industrial power supplies requiring wide VIN and high reliability.
For engineers reviewing the LM22678TJE-ADJ/NOPB datasheet, LM22678TJE-ADJ/NOPB pinout, LM22678TJE-ADJ/NOPB application, or LM22678TJE-ADJ/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.5–42 V input range, 100-mΩ N-channel MOSFET, thermal shutdown at 150°C, precision enable threshold (1.6 V typ), and compatibility with low-ESR ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The LM22678TJE-ADJ/NOPB implements a voltage-mode PWM controller with input voltage feedforward for stable loop gain across input variations, enabling optimized transient response without external compensation. Its internal Type III compensation is tuned for outputs ≤5 V, and it uses a floating high-side gate driver powered by an external BOOT-to-SW capacitor.
It integrates critical protection features including cycle-by-cycle current limiting (6.0–8.4 A), thermal shutdown at 150°C, undervoltage lockout (UVLO rising threshold 4.3 V), and precision enable with 0.6 V hysteresis - all supporting robust operation in demanding industrial environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 42 V - supports wide-input industrial and automotive battery-fed systems without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | Up to 5 A continuous - sufficient for powering FPGAs, microcontrollers, and analog subsystems from single-stage conversion. |
| Switching Frequency | 500 kHz (±20%) - enables compact magnetics and good transient response while avoiding AM radio band interference. |
| Feedback Accuracy | ±1.5% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures tight output regulation across full operating temperature range. |
| RDS(ON) | 0.10 Ω (typ) - minimizes conduction loss and improves efficiency (>90% typical at mid-load). |
| Quiescent Current | 3.4 mA (active), 25 µA (shutdown) - balances light-load efficiency and fast wake-up capability. |
| Soft-Start Time | 500 µs (fixed) - prevents inrush current and eliminates need for external timing components. |
| Junction Temp Range | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature applications without derating. |
Pinout & Package
LM22678TJE-ADJ/NOPB is housed in a thermally enhanced TO-263-7 (PFM) package (10.16 mm × 9.85 mm) with exposed pad for direct PCB grounding and improved thermal dissipation (RθJA = 22°C/W with 1 in² copper).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW | Switch node | Drives external inductor; swings between GND and VIN; requires low-inductance layout for EMI control. |
| VIN | Power input | Accepts 4.5–42 V; must be bypassed with low-ESR ceramic capacitor near pin. |
| GND | Ground reference | System ground return; connects to exposed pad for thermal and electrical integrity. |
| BOOT | Bootstrap supply | Supplies gate drive for high-side MOSFET; requires 10-nF ceramic capacitor to SW with short traces. |
| FB | Feedback input | Senses output via resistor divider; sets regulated voltage (1.285 V reference); bias current 230 nA. |
| EN | Enable control | Logic-level ON/OFF control; 1.6 V threshold with 0.6 V hysteresis; internal 6 µA pullup. |
| NC | No connect | Not electrically bonded; functions only as thermal conductor for exposed-pad mounting. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internally compensated control | Eliminates external compensation network - reduces BOM count and design iteration time for stable 5-A buck designs. |
| Integrated bootstrap diode | Removes need for external bootstrap diode - simplifies layout and improves reliability in high-duty-cycle applications. |
| Precision enable with hysteresis | Enables clean power sequencing and external UVLO implementation using resistor dividers - avoids brownout during startup. |
| Stable with ceramic capacitors | Supports low-ESR, high-frequency ceramic output caps - reduces solution size and cost vs. electrolytic/tantalum alternatives. |
| WEBENCH® enabled | Full parametric design support in TI's online tool - includes component selection, thermal simulation, and Build-It board generation. |
| Thermal shutdown & current limit | Protects against overload and overheating - shuts down at 150°C and limits peak switch current to 6–8.4 A. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM22677TJE-ADJ/NOPB | 3-A output rating, same package and pinout, identical control architecture but lower current capability. | Suitable for <3-A loads where thermal margin or cost reduction is prioritized over headroom. | Select when full 5-A capability is unnecessary and smaller inductor/capacitor sizing is acceptable. |
| LM61460PWPR | 6-A output, 3–36 V input, synchronous rectification, lower quiescent current (15 µA), and improved EMI performance via spread-spectrum. | Better suited for next-gen designs requiring higher efficiency, lower standby power, or stricter EMC compliance. | Choose for new designs targeting >92% efficiency at light load or needing automotive-grade EMI robustness. |
Compared with LM22678TJE-ADJ/NOPB, LM22677TJE-ADJ/NOPB offers reduced current capacity in identical form factor, while LM61460PWPR provides higher performance with different pinout and package - neither is pin-compatible, but both address overlapping wide-VIN buck use cases with distinct trade-offs in current, efficiency, and integration.

FAQ
What is the minimum output voltage supported by LM22678TJE-ADJ/NOPB?
The LM22678TJE-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 –40°C to +125°C junction temperature and is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under VFB for the -ADJ version. The regulator achieves this using an external resistor divider connected to the FB pin, with recommended RFBB = 1 kΩ for noise immunity and minimum load provision.
Does LM22678TJE-ADJ/NOPB require an external bootstrap diode?
No, LM22678TJE-ADJ/NOPB does not require an external bootstrap diode because it integrates one internally. This is explicitly stated in the Features section and confirmed in Section 7.3.3 of the datasheet. The internal bootstrap diode charges the external 10-nF ceramic capacitor between BOOT and SW pins each cycle, eliminating a common discrete component and improving reliability in high-duty-cycle operation.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of LM22678TJE-ADJ/NOPB in its TO-263 package?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of LM22678TJE-ADJ/NOPB is 22°C/W when mounted on 1 square inch of 2-oz copper PCB, as specified in Section 6.5. This value assumes optimal thermal layout; actual RθJA may range from 20 to 30°C/W depending on PCB copper area and via count to internal planes. The exposed pad must be soldered directly to GND for effective heat transfer.
Can LM22678TJE-ADJ/NOPB operate with input voltages below 4.5 V?
No, LM22678TJE-ADJ/NOPB is not rated for continuous operation below 4.5 V input. Its Recommended Operating Conditions specify a minimum VIN of 4.5 V, and its internal undervoltage lockout (UVLO) has a falling threshold of 3.9 V (typ). Attempting to operate below 4.5 V risks unstable regulation, failure to start, or undefined behavior - especially near the UVLO hysteresis band.
Is LM22678TJE-ADJ/NOPB pin-compatible with LM22678-5.0 variants?
Yes, LM22678TJE-ADJ/NOPB is pin-compatible with LM22678-5.0 variants, including LM22678TJE-5.0/NOPB. Both share identical TO-263-7 (PFM) packaging, pin configuration (SW, VIN, GND, BOOT, FB, EN, NC), and mechanical footprint. The only functional difference is the feedback configuration: -ADJ uses external resistors to set output voltage, while -5.0 has internal 5-V regulation and ties FB directly to VOUT.
