Product details
Overview
LM22679QTJ-ADJ/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 42-V input, 5-A synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator in TO-263-7 (PFM) package, featuring adjustable output voltage down to 1.285 V, 500-kHz fixed switching frequency, ±1.5% feedback reference accuracy, and integrated bootstrap diode for simplified layout. It delivers >90% efficiency in industrial power conversion applications with wide VIN range.
For engineers reviewing the LM22679QTJ-ADJ/NOPB datasheet, LM22679QTJ-ADJ/NOPB pinout, LM22679QTJ-ADJ/NOPB application, or LM22679QTJ-ADJ/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include its internally compensated voltage-mode control, adjustable current limit via IADJ pin, soft-start timing programmability, thermal shutdown at 150°C, and compatibility with low-ESR ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The LM22679QTJ-ADJ/NOPB implements a voltage-mode PWM controller with input voltage feedforward to stabilize loop gain across 4.5–42 V input range. Its internal Type III compensation is optimized for output voltages ≤5 V, enabling stable operation without external compensation components.
It integrates a 100-mΩ N-channel MOSFET switch, supports minimum on-time of 100 ns and off-time of 200 ns, and uses an external bootstrap capacitor between BOOT and SW pins to drive the high-side FET - requiring ≥5 mA minimum load for reliable recharge during each cycle.
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 - sufficient for powering FPGA cores, DSPs, and multi-rail subsystems from single-stage conversion. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.285 V (typ), ±1.5% - enables precise adjustable output down to 1.285 V using external resistor divider on FB pin. |
| Switching Frequency | 500 kHz (±20%) - balances small external inductor/capacitor size with EMI and transient response requirements. |
| RDS(ON) | 0.10 Ω (typ) - reduces conduction loss and improves full-load efficiency above 90% at mid-load conditions. |
| Junction Temp Range | –40°C to 125°C - qualified for industrial ambient environments and thermally demanding PCB layouts. |
| Current Limit | 7.1 A (typ), adjustable via IADJ pin resistor - allows optimization of overcurrent protection threshold for specific inductor and layout constraints. |
Pinout & Package
LM22679QTJ-ADJ/NOPB is housed in a TO-263-7 (PFM) thermally enhanced package with exposed pad (EP) for direct PCB grounding and improved heat dissipation. Package dimensions are 10.16 mm × 9.85 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW | Switch Node Output | Drives external inductor; swings from ~0 V to VIN - requires low-inductance routing to minimize ringing and EMI. |
| VIN | Main Input Supply | Connects to bulk input capacitor; must be decoupled close to device to suppress high-frequency noise. |
| BOOT | Bootstrap Supply | Connects to 10-nF ceramic capacitor between BOOT and SW - critical for high-side gate drive integrity. |
| GND | Power Ground | System return path; connects to EP - forms low-impedance thermal and electrical ground plane. |
| IADJ | Current Limit Adjust | Resistor-to-GND sets peak switch current limit; floating defaults to 7.1 A - enables design-specific overload tailoring. |
| FB | Feedback Input | High-impedance (230 nA bias) node sensing output voltage via resistor divider - sensitive to noise; place divider near FB pin. |
| SS | Soft-Start Control | Capacitor-to-GND extends startup time linearly (TSS ≈ 26 ms/µF); resets on UVLO or thermal shutdown. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internally Compensated Control | Eliminates need for external compensation network - reduces BOM count and design iteration time for buck converters. |
| Integrated Bootstrap Diode | Removes discrete bootstrap diode requirement - simplifies layout and improves reliability in high-duty-cycle applications. |
| Adjustable Soft-Start | External capacitor on SS pin controls inrush current and output voltage ramp rate - prevents input rail sag and downstream supply sequencing issues. |
| UVLO with Hysteresis | Rising threshold 4.3 V, falling threshold 3.9 V - ensures clean startup and shutdown behavior across varying input source conditions. |
| Thermal Shutdown Protection | Activates at ~150°C junction temperature and releases at ~135°C - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |

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 family, 3-A output rating, identical pinout and control architecture. | Suitable for lower-current designs where 5-A capability is unnecessary - reduces thermal design complexity and cost. | Select when load current remains ≤3 A and smaller solution size is prioritized over headroom. |
| LM61460RQAR | Higher efficiency (95%+), lower IQ (26 µA), PFM mode at light load, 3–36-V input, 6-A output. | Better suited for battery-powered or energy-sensitive systems requiring ultra-low standby power and improved EMI performance. | Choose for new designs targeting higher efficiency, lower quiescent current, and advanced EMI mitigation - not pin-compatible. |
Compared with LM22679QTJ-ADJ/NOPB, LM22670TJ-ADJ/NOPB offers reduced current capability in the same footprint for cost-optimized 3-A applications, while LM61460RQAR provides superior efficiency and light-load performance at the expense of different pinout, control scheme, and non-drop-in replacement requirements.

FAQ
What is the minimum output voltage supported by the LM22679QTJ-ADJ/NOPB?
The LM22679QTJ-ADJ/NOPB supports a minimum output voltage of 1.285 V (typical), set by its internal feedback reference voltage. This value is specified over temperature (–40°C to 125°C) as 1.259 V to 1.311 V. The output is adjusted using an external resistor divider connected to the FB pin, and the LM22679QTJ-ADJ/NOPB's internal compensation is optimized for outputs at or below 5 V.
Does the LM22679QTJ-ADJ/NOPB require an external bootstrap diode?
No, the LM22679QTJ-ADJ/NOPB integrates a bootstrap diode internally, eliminating the need for an external component between BOOT and SW pins. A 10-nF ceramic capacitor must still be placed directly between BOOT and SW with short, wide traces to ensure proper high-side gate drive. This integration simplifies layout and improves reliability compared to controllers requiring discrete bootstrap diodes.
How is current limit adjusted on the LM22679QTJ-ADJ/NOPB?
Current limit on the LM22679QTJ-ADJ/NOPB is adjusted using a resistor connected between the IADJ pin and GND. With IADJ floating, the default current limit is 7.1 A (typ). When a resistor is applied, the internal 0.8-V reference sets the current limit per Figure 7-3 in the datasheet, with accuracy of +35% / –25%. The LM22679QTJ-ADJ/NOPB samples IADJ voltage at startup (~100 µs after VIN application) and holds that setting until next power cycle.
What thermal metrics apply to the LM22679QTJ-ADJ/NOPB in its TO-263 package?
The LM22679QTJ-ADJ/NOPB in TO-263-7 (PFM) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 22°C/W when mounted on 1 square inch of 2-oz copper. Actual RθJA varies between 20–30°C/W depending on PCB copper area dedicated to heat transfer. The device includes thermal shutdown at ~150°C and restarts at ~135°C. The exposed pad (EP) must be soldered to a solid GND plane for optimal thermal performance.
Can the LM22679QTJ-ADJ/NOPB operate with ceramic output capacitors only?
Yes, the LM22679QTJ-ADJ/NOPB is explicitly designed to be stable with low-ESR ceramic output capacitors - a key feature highlighted in its datasheet. Unlike older controllers requiring electrolytic or tantalum capacitors for phase margin, its internal Type III compensation and voltage-mode architecture ensure stability across standard X5R/X7R MLCC values typically used in modern compact designs.
