Product details
Overview
LM2611BMFX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a current-mode PWM Cuk converter IC with integrated DMOS FET, designed for high-efficiency negative voltage generation. It operates from 2.7 V to 14 V input, delivers −5 V at 300 mA from 5-V input, features 1.4-MHz fixed switching frequency, 0.7-Ω RDS(ON), and 1-mVp-p output ripple-enabling compact bias supplies in portable imaging and display systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM2611BMFX/NOPB datasheet, LM2611BMFX/NOPB pinout, LM2611BMFX/NOPB application, or LM2611BMFX/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its Grade B current limit (0.9 A), SOT-23-5 package footprint, NFB-based output voltage programming, and thermal shutdown behavior at 163°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The LM2611BMFX/NOPB implements a fixed-frequency (1.4 MHz) current-mode control architecture with internal slope compensation and cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection. Its functional block includes an integrated 0.7-Ω DMOS switch, 1.23-V precision reference, and dedicated NFB pin for external resistor-divider feedback-enabling stable regulation of inverted output voltages without external compensation components.
This Grade B variant supports input ranges up to 14 V and delivers regulated negative outputs via Cuk topology, leveraging separate input (L1) and output (L2) inductors to minimize RMS current and ripple on both sides. Shutdown functionality reduces quiescent current to <1 µA, and thermal shutdown activates at 163°C with hysteresis down to 155°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching frequency | 1.4 MHz typical; enables use of sub-22-µH inductors and ceramic capacitors under 10 µF for space-constrained designs. |
| Output voltage range | −(36 × VIN(MAX)) max; supports −5 V at 300 mA from 5-V input per typical application circuit. |
| RDS(ON) | 0.7 Ω typical (Grade B); reduces conduction loss and improves efficiency at medium load currents. |
| Current limit | 0.9 A typical (Grade B); sets maximum peak switch current, limiting output capability under low-VIN/high-VOUT conditions. |
| Quiescent current | 270 µA typical (enabled, no switching); drops to 0.024 µA in shutdown-critical for battery-powered standby operation. |
| NFB reference voltage | −1.23 V typical; defines output setpoint via external RFB1/RFB2 divider (e.g., 29.4 kΩ/10 kΩ for −5 V). |
| Thermal shutdown threshold | 163°C junction temperature; disables switch until die cools to 155°C-prevents permanent damage during sustained overload. |
Pinout & Package
LM2611BMFX/NOPB is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 package (1.60 mm × 2.90 mm body size), optimized for surface-mount assembly and thermal dissipation via PCB copper area. Pin 2 (GND) serves as the common analog and power return path; thermal performance relies on proper board layout with adequate copper pour connected to GND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - SW | Drain of internal DMOS switch | Connects to node between input inductor (L1) and Cuk capacitor (CCUK); carries high di/dt switching current-requires short, low-inductance routing. |
| 2 - GND | Analog and power ground | Single-point return for feedback, reference, and power paths; must be tied directly to PCB ground plane with minimal impedance. |
| 3 - NFB | Negative feedback input | Accepts voltage divider from VOUT; internal 1.23-V reference compares against this node to regulate output polarity and magnitude. |
| 4 - SHDN | Shutdown control input | Logic-high (>1.5 V) enables operation; grounded (<0.5 V) forces device into ultra-low-IQ state-no external pull-up required. |
| 5 - VIN | Power input supply | Accepts 2.7–14 V; requires local 0.1-µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed ≤0.2 inches away to suppress high-frequency noise. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Cuk topology integration | Eliminates need for external controller, gate driver, and current-sense resistor-reduces BOM count and layout complexity for inverting supplies. |
| Low-RMS-current design | Input and output inductors (L1/L2) yield continuous triangular current waveforms-minimizing EMI and capacitor stress versus buck-boost alternatives. |
| Pulse-skipping mode | Automatically transitions from PWM to hysteretic operation below ~30 mA load-maintains regulation while reducing light-load switching losses. |
| Internal compensation | Fixed type-II/III network eliminates external compensation components; validated for 10–22 µH L1/L2 values-accelerates design cycle. |
| Feed-forward capacitor support | CFF across top feedback resistor (e.g., 330 pF) adds zero-pole pair to improve transient response bandwidth and phase margin. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar inverting DC-DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2611AMFX/NOPB | Grade A variant: 1.2-A switch current limit, 0.5-Ω RDS(ON), higher output current capability at same VIN/VOUT. | Supports up to ~375 mA at −5 V from 12-V input; better suited for higher-power GaAs FET bias or multi-channel CCD arrays. | Select LM2611AMFX/NOPB when >300 mA output current or lower conduction loss is required; otherwise LM2611BMFX/NOPB offers cost-optimized performance. |
| TPS60403DBVR | Charge-pump inverter: no inductors, 600-kHz switching, 60-mA max output, ±1% initial accuracy, no NFB pin. | Limited to low-current applications (≤60 mA); lacks programmable output and inductor-based ripple suppression-unsuitable for MR head or CCD bias. | Choose TPS60403DBVR only for ultra-low-cost, ultra-small-footprint bias where current <60 mA and ripple <10 mVp-p is acceptable. |
Compared with LM2611AMFX/NOPB, the LM2611BMFX/NOPB trades 30% lower current limit and higher RDS(ON) for reduced cost and thermal stress in 300-mA applications; versus TPS60403DBVR, it provides 5× higher output current, inductor-based ripple reduction, and programmable output-but requires two external inductors.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LM2611BMFX/NOPB at −5 V from a 5-V input?
The LM2611BMFX/NOPB delivers up to 300 mA at −5 V when supplied from 5 V, as confirmed in the TI SNOS965J datasheet Figure 23 and Typical Application section. This rating assumes recommended 15-µH (L1) and 47-µH (L2) inductors, 22-µF ceramic output capacitor, and ambient temperature ≤85°C. Exceeding this current risks thermal shutdown due to the Grade B 0.9-A switch current limit.
How does the LM2611BMFX/NOPB differ from the LM2611AMFX/NOPB?
The LM2611BMFX/NOPB is the Grade B variant with 0.9-A typical switch current limit and 0.7-Ω RDS(ON), whereas LM2611AMFX/NOPB is Grade A with 1.2-A limit and 0.5-Ω RDS(ON). Both share identical pinout, package, reference voltage (−1.23 V), and 1.4-MHz switching frequency. The LM2611BMFX/NOPB is optimized for cost-sensitive 300-mA applications where the higher current capability of the A-grade is unnecessary.
Can the LM2611BMFX/NOPB generate output voltages other than −5 V?
Yes-the LM2611BMFX/NOPB uses resistor-divider feedback via the NFB pin to set output voltage. With its −1.23-V internal reference, any negative output can be programmed using RFB1 and RFB2 (e.g., −10 V with 58.8 kΩ/10 kΩ). The datasheet confirms operation down to −3.3 V and up to −(36 × VIN(MAX)), subject to inductor saturation and thermal limits.
What is the purpose of the CFF capacitor in LM2611BMFX/NOPB circuits?
The CFF capacitor (e.g., 330 pF) connects across the top feedback resistor (RFB1) in LM2611BMFX/NOPB designs to add a zero-pole pair that improves phase margin and transient response. As described in Section 7.3.6, this feed-forward network enhances stability under step-load changes-particularly critical in CCD and MR head bias applications where rapid current transients occur.
Does the LM2611BMFX/NOPB require external compensation components?
No-the LM2611BMFX/NOPB features fully internal type-II/III compensation optimized for 10–22 µH inductors, eliminating external compensation networks. TI's design validation ensures stability with standard Cuk configurations; however, adding CFF remains optional for enhanced transient performance. No external capacitor or resistor is needed for basic regulation.
