Product details
Overview
LM22680MR-ADJ/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 42 V, 2 A synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator in an HSOP-8 PowerPAD package, featuring voltage-mode control, internal compensation, and adjustable output down to 1.285 V. It integrates a 200-mΩ N-channel MOSFET switch, supports 4.5–42 V input, delivers >90% efficiency, and operates across –40°C to +125°C for industrial power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LM22680MR-ADJ/NOPB datasheet, LM22680MR-ADJ/NOPB pinout, LM22680MR-ADJ/NOPB application, or LM22680MR-ADJ/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 500 kHz default switching frequency, precision enable threshold (1.6 V typ), ±1.5% feedback reference accuracy, integrated bootstrap diode, and thermal shutdown protection - all critical for stable 24-V/12-V conversion in embedded systems.
Technical Context
The LM22680MR-ADJ/NOPB implements a voltage-mode PWM architecture with input voltage feedforward to stabilize loop gain against VIN variations, enabling optimized transient response without external compensation. Its internal Type III compensator ensures stability across wide inductor/capacitor ranges while supporting ceramic output capacitors with low ESR.
It features a dedicated BOOT pin for high-side gate drive, RT/SYNC pin for frequency adjustment (200–1000 kHz) or synchronization, and SS pin for programmable soft-start via external capacitor. The EN pin provides precision enable control with 0.6 V hysteresis and 25 µA shutdown current, enabling robust power sequencing in multi-rail systems.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
LM22680MR-ADJ/NOPB uses the HSOP-8 PowerPAD™ package (4.89 mm × 3.90 mm) with exposed thermal pad soldered to PCB ground for enhanced heat dissipation. Thermal resistance is 60°C/W (RθJA) with 1 in² copper area.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BOOT | Bootstrap supply input | Provides gate drive voltage for internal high-side N-MOSFET; requires 10 nF ceramic capacitor between BOOT and SW. |
| EN | Enable control input | Logic-level on/off control with 1.6 V threshold and 0.6 V hysteresis; pulls up internally at 6 µA. |
| SW | Switch node output | Drives external inductor; swings from ~0 V to VIN; connects to BOOT capacitor and external diode/FET. |
| RT/SYNC | Oscillator mode control | Selects internal 500 kHz, resistor-adjusted (200–1000 kHz), or external clock synchronization mode. |
| FB | Feedback input | Monitors output via resistor divider; regulates output to 1.285 V reference with ±1.5% accuracy. |
| GND | System ground | Power and signal return; exposed pad must be connected to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity. |
| VIN | Main power input | Accepts 4.5–42 V; supplies internal bias and high-side driver; requires local 10 µF ceramic input capacitor. |
| SS | Soft-start timing | Controls startup ramp time via external capacitor; default internal soft-start is ~500 µs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internally compensated voltage-mode control | Eliminates need for external compensation network - simplifies design and reduces BOM count for buck converters. |
| Stable with low-ESR ceramic capacitors | Enables use of compact, high-reliability MLCCs instead of bulkier electrolytics - improves long-term stability and temperature performance. |
| Integrated bootstrap diode | Removes requirement for external bootstrap diode - reduces layout complexity and failure points in high-side gate drive path. |
| Adjustable soft-start via SS pin | Prevents inrush current and output overshoot by scaling startup time with external capacitor (100 nF–1 µF). |
| Precision enable with UVLO | Allows clean power sequencing and prevents operation below 4.3 V input - protects downstream circuitry during brownout conditions. |
| Thermal shutdown & current limiting | Protects device under overload or poor heatsinking; current limit triggers at 2.8 A (typ), foldback activates under short-circuit. |

FAQ
What is the minimum recommended input voltage for reliable operation of the LM22680MR-ADJ/NOPB?
The LM22680MR-ADJ/NOPB has a recommended minimum input voltage of 4.5 V per its operating conditions. Below this, undervoltage lockout (UVLO) may activate, preventing regulation. The rising UVLO threshold is 4.3 V (typ), so sustained operation below 4.5 V risks intermittent enable/disable cycling. For battery-powered systems near end-of-discharge, use the EN pin with an external resistor divider to set a custom UVLO threshold above 4.5 V to ensure clean shutdown before instability occurs. The LM22680MR-ADJ/NOPB remains fully functional across its entire 4.5–42 V range.
Can the LM22680MR-ADJ/NOPB synchronize its switching frequency to an external clock source?
Yes, the LM22680MR-ADJ/NOPB supports external clock synchronization via the RT/SYNC pin. When an external clock signal with amplitude meeting VSYNC specifications (1.75 V threshold, 3.5 V typical) and frequency between 500 kHz and 1 MHz is applied, the device latches into sync mode at startup. Synchronization occurs on the rising edge of the external clock. Note that frequency adjustment (via RT resistor) and synchronization cannot operate simultaneously - the mode is determined during initial power-up based on RT/SYNC pin voltage. Loss of the external clock causes automatic fallback to the internal 500 kHz oscillator. This behavior is fully documented for the LM22680MR-ADJ/NOPB.
How does the soft-start function work on the LM22680MR-ADJ/NOPB, and what capacitor value should I use?
The LM22680MR-ADJ/NOPB implements soft-start by controlling the rate at which the internal error amplifier reference ramps up, limiting inrush current and output overshoot. An internal soft-start time of ~500 µs is provided, but this can be extended using an external capacitor on the SS pin. The approximate soft-start time is calculated as TSS ≈ 26 × 10³ × CSS, where CSS is in farads. For example, a 100 nF capacitor yields ~2.6 ms, while 1 µF gives ~26 ms. Recommended values range from 100 nF to 1 µF; values outside this range may cause excessive delay or insufficient control. Soft-start resets automatically during shutdown or thermal fault events - a key behavior confirmed for the LM22680MR-ADJ/NOPB.
Does the LM22680MR-ADJ/NOPB require an external bootstrap diode?
No, the LM22680MR-ADJ/NOPB integrates a bootstrap diode internally, eliminating the need for an external component. This is explicitly stated in the "Features" section of the datasheet and verified in the functional block diagram. The BOOT pin connects directly to the SW node through the internal diode and high-side gate driver. Users must still place a 10 nF ceramic capacitor between BOOT and SW with low-inductance PCB traces to ensure proper gate drive voltage generation. Omitting this capacitor - not the diode - will cause failure. This integration reduces bill-of-materials count and improves reliability compared to discrete bootstrap solutions, and applies specifically to the LM22680MR-ADJ/NOPB.
What is the thermal performance of the LM22680MR-ADJ/NOPB in its HSOP-8 PowerPAD package?
The LM22680MR-ADJ/NOPB in the HSOP-8 PowerPAD package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 60°C/W when mounted on 1 in² of 2-oz copper PCB area. Its maximum junction temperature is 150°C, and it includes thermal shutdown at 150°C (typ). Actual thermal performance depends heavily on PCB layout: the exposed pad must be soldered to a solid ground plane with multiple thermal vias. Under 2 A load at 12 V input → 3.3 V output, typical board-level temperature rise is ~35°C above ambient. Derating is required above 85°C ambient; full 2 A output is guaranteed only up to 125°C junction temperature. These thermal metrics are measured and specified for the LM22680MR-ADJ/NOPB.
