Product details
Overview
LM26400YSDX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a dual-output, monolithic synchronous buck regulator IC with two integrated 175-mΩ NMOS power switches, 500-kHz fixed-frequency PWM operation, 3 V to 20 V input range, and independent 2-A per channel capability. It delivers regulated outputs down to 0.6 V using peak current-mode control and internal compensation-designed for high-power-density point-of-load conversion in space-constrained industrial and computing systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM26400YSDX/NOPB datasheet, LM26400YSDX/NOPB pinout, LM26400YSDX/NOPB application, or LM26400YSDX/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include dual-channel independent enable/soft-start control, frequency foldback under overcurrent, thermal shutdown at 165°C, and compatibility with ceramic output capacitors without external loop compensation.
Technical Context
The LM26400YSDX/NOPB implements peak current-mode control with an internal 0.6-V reference shared across both channels and 180° phase-shifted switching to reduce input ripple. Its architecture integrates bootstrap diodes, programmable soft-start via external capacitors on SS1/SS2, and separate EN1/EN2 logic inputs enabling independent channel sequencing.
It features frequency foldback triggered when FB voltage drops below 0.35 V-reducing switching frequency during overload to limit thermal stress and prevent minimum-on-time violation. Overcurrent protection operates at ~3 A per channel with immediate switch turn-off, while thermal shutdown activates at 165°C with 15°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3 V to 20 V - supports wide-input industrial and automotive supply rails without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current (per channel) | 2 A continuous - sustained with proper PCB thermal design and ceramic output capacitance. |
| Switching Frequency | 500 kHz ±10% - balances inductor size, efficiency, and EMI performance for compact designs. |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 0.6 V ±1.8% - sets output voltage via external resistor divider; stable over –40°C to 125°C. |
| RDS(ON) (NMOS Switch) | 175 mΩ (HTSSOP), 194 mΩ (WSON) - defines conduction loss and thermal rise at full load. |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | 165°C with 15°C hysteresis - protects die integrity during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Soft-Start Control | External capacitor on SS1/SS2 pins - enables independent ramp timing per channel to manage inrush. |
Pinout & Package
LM26400YSDX/NOPB is packaged in a 16-pin WSON (5.00 mm × 5.00 mm) with exposed thermal pad (DAP) for enhanced heat dissipation. Pin functions are validated per TI SNVS457D Rev D datasheet.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AVIN | Internal bias supply | Provides gate-drive bootstrap and internal LDO bias; requires local 1-µF ceramic bypass. |
| BST1, BST2 | Bootstrap rails | Drive high-side NMOS gates; each requires dedicated 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor to SWx. |
| EN1, EN2 | Channel enable inputs | Logic-high active (≥2.5 V); independent control allows staggered startup or fault isolation. |
| FB1, FB2 | Feedback inputs | Monitor output voltage via resistor divider; 0.6-V reference enables precise regulation down to 0.6 V. |
| GND | Signal & power ground | Kelvin connection point for feedback divider lower resistor to minimize load regulation error. |
| PVIN | Main power input | Connects directly to drain of internal NMOS; tie pins 11–14 together with low-inductance path. |
| SS1, SS2 | Soft-start timing | Charge current = 16 µA; capacitor value sets ramp time (e.g., 25 nF ≈ 1 ms soft-start). |
| SW1, SW2 | Switch nodes | Connect to inductors and catch diodes; layout critical for EMI and efficiency. |
| DAP | Thermal pad | Must be soldered to solid copper pour for thermal conduction and low-impedance grounding. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated bootstrap diodes | Eliminates need for external bootstrap diodes, reducing BOM count and layout complexity. |
| Frequency foldback protection | Reduces switching frequency under overload to maintain stability and limit thermal stress when VFB < 0.35 V. |
| Independent enable & soft-start | EN1/EN2 and SS1/SS2 allow channel-specific sequencing, inrush control, and fault containment. |
| Internal loop compensation | Enables stable operation with ceramic output capacitors-no external compensation components required. |
| 180° phase-shifted outputs | Reduces input ripple current by ~70% compared to in-phase operation, easing input capacitor sizing. |
| Overcurrent & thermal protection | Per-channel 3-A peak current limit and 165°C thermal shutdown with hysteresis ensure robust fault recovery. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current per channel for LM26400YSDX/NOPB?
The LM26400YSDX/NOPB supports up to 2 A continuous output current per channel under recommended operating conditions (TJ ≤ 125°C). Actual achievable current depends on PCB thermal design, ambient temperature, and input/output voltage differential. In the WSON package with proper copper pour, 2 A per channel is sustainable at 20 VIN/1.2 VOUT with 40°C ambient.
Does LM26400YSDX/NOPB require external compensation components?
No, LM26400YSDX/NOPB features fully internal loop compensation optimized for ceramic output capacitors. No external compensation network is needed-simplifying design and reducing bill-of-materials. The internal transconductance amplifier and compensation network are factory-trimmed to ensure stability across the full operating range.
Can LM26400YSDX/NOPB operate with a 3-V input supply?
Yes, LM26400YSDX/NOPB is specified for 3 V to 20 V input operation. At 3 V input, it can regulate down to 0.6 V output with ≥90% efficiency at light loads. Minimum on-time of 40 ns enables stable operation even at low duty cycles-critical for low-VOUT applications like FPGA core rails.
How does frequency foldback work in LM26400YSDX/NOPB?
In LM26400YSDX/NOPB, frequency foldback activates when FB voltage falls below 0.35 V-typically during overload or short-circuit. The switching frequency reduces progressively (down to ~390 kHz) to limit peak switch current and thermal stress. This mechanism prevents runaway current due to minimum on-time constraints and aids safe recovery after fault clearance.
What package options are available for LM26400YSDX/NOPB?
LM26400YSDX/NOPB is offered exclusively in the 16-pin WSON package (5.00 mm × 5.00 mm) with exposed thermal pad (DAP). This thermally enhanced package achieves 27.8°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance-superior to the HTSSOP variant-and is optimized for high-power-density layouts in industrial and consumer applications.
