Product details
Overview
LM26484SQ/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a dual-buck + LDO controller power management unit for FPGA/ASIC core and I/O rail sequencing in automotive infotainment and networking routers. It integrates two 2.0A synchronous buck converters (0.8–3.5V output, ±1% VFB accuracy), one NMOS LDO controller (0.8–1.5V, ±1.5% VFB), 2 MHz PWM switching, and active low nPOR with 60–475 ms delay.
For engineers reviewing the LM26484SQ/NOPB datasheet, LM26484SQ/NOPB pinout, LM26484SQ/NOPB application, or LM26484SQ/NOPB equivalent, this device supports flexible multi-rail sequencing with independent enable control (ENSW1/ENSW2/ENLDO), 180° phase-shifted buck clocks to reduce input ripple, and low-dropout 100% duty-cycle operation for post-regulation of Buck2-supplied rails.
Technical Context
The LM26484SQ/NOPB uses voltage-mode PWM control with input-voltage feed-forward for tight line regulation and synchronous rectification via internal NFETs to maximize efficiency at low VOUT. Its dual-buck architecture operates with 180° phase shift to minimize input capacitor RMS current and peak demand.
The integrated LDO controller drives an external NMOS FET in LI-LO configuration, supporting regulated-to-low-VIN operation when powered from Buck2. Thermal shutdown engages at 160°C (typ.) and disengages at 130°C (typ.), with overcurrent protection limiting peak switch current to 3.2 A.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.0–5.5 V - Supports single-supply operation from common 3.3 V or 5 V system rails. |
| Buck Output Current | 2.0 A per channel - Sustains full load across −40°C to +125°C junction temperature range. |
| Feedback Accuracy | ±1.0% for bucks, ±1.5% for LDO - Ensures precise core voltage regulation critical for FPGA/ASIC timing margins. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.0 MHz (typ.) - Enables use of small 0.5 µH inductors and compact 10–22 µF ceramic output capacitors. |
| nPOR Delay | 60–475 ms - Provides configurable reset assertion time for sequenced power-up of downstream logic. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 160°C (typ.) - Protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design without latch-up. |
| LDO Output Range | 0.8–1.5 V - Matches analog supply requirements for ADCs, PLLs, and SerDes PHYs. |
Pinout & Package
LM26484SQ/NOPB is housed in a 5 mm × 4 mm × 0.8 mm WQFN-24 package (TI package code NHZ0024B) with exposed thermal pad (DAP) connected to GND for enhanced heat dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN1, VIN2 | Power Input | Dual independent DC inputs for Buck1 and Buck2; each accepts 3.0–5.5 V. |
| SW1, SW2 | Switch Node | High-side PMOS + low-side NMOS switch outputs; require external inductor and output capacitor. |
| FB1, FB2, LDOFB | Feedback Input | Resistor-divider nodes setting output voltage; internal 0.5 V reference enables precise VOUT programming. |
| ENSW1, ENSW2, ENLDO | Enable Control | Active-high digital inputs enabling/disabling each regulator independently for custom power sequencing. |
| nPOR | Reset Output | Open-drain active-low reset signal asserting until all supplies stabilize and internal timer expires. |
| PGND_SW1, PGND_SW2, AGND, GND | Ground Return | Separate power and analog grounds minimize noise coupling between switching and sensitive analog circuits. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-buck + LDO controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS65270RGET | Single 3-A buck + dual 1.5-A bucks; no integrated LDO controller; requires external FET for linear regulation. | Higher total current capacity but lacks dedicated NMOS LDO driver for ultra-low-noise analog rails. | Select when higher current per buck is required and discrete LDO implementation is acceptable. |
| LM2743MMX/NOPB | Single 3-A buck + LDO controller; no second buck; supports only one adjustable output besides LDO. | Simpler sequencing for dual-rail systems where only one switched rail is needed alongside LDO. | Select for space-constrained designs needing only one high-current buck plus analog LDO support. |
Compared with TPS65270RGET and LM2743MMX/NOPB, the LM26484SQ/NOPB uniquely combines dual 2-A bucks with a dedicated NMOS LDO controller in one WQFN-24 package-enabling three independent, precisely sequenced rails without external pass FETs or additional controllers.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of each buck converter in the LM26484SQ/NOPB?
The LM26484SQ/NOPB supports up to 2.0 A continuous output current per buck channel (Buck1 and Buck2) across the full operating temperature range of −40°C to +125°C. This rating assumes proper PCB layout with adequate copper area for thermal dissipation and use of recommended external components including a 0.5 µH inductor and 22 µF ceramic output capacitor. Peak switch current is limited to 3.2 A for overload protection.
Does the LM26484SQ/NOPB support automatic power sequencing between its regulators?
No, the LM26484SQ/NOPB does not include built-in autonomous sequencing logic. Instead, it provides independent enable inputs (ENSW1, ENSW2, ENLDO) that must be driven by an external microcontroller, CPLD, or power sequencer to implement custom startup/shutdown order. This architecture gives designers full control over timing intervals and fault response, unlike fixed-sequence PMUs.
Can the LM26484SQ/NOPB operate with input voltage below 3.0 V?
No-the absolute minimum operating input voltage for the LM26484SQ/NOPB is 3.0 V across VIN1, VIN2, AVDD, and AVIN pins. Operation below this threshold will cause undervoltage lockout (UVLO) activation, disabling all regulators and holding nPOR low. The device is not rated for sub-3.0 V operation, and attempting to run below this level may result in unstable regulation or undefined behavior.
What is the purpose of the nPOR pin on the LM26484SQ/NOPB, and how is its delay determined?
The nPOR pin on the LM26484SQ/NOPB is an active-low open-drain power-on reset output that remains asserted (low) until all internal supplies stabilize and a programmable delay elapses. Its delay ranges from 60 ms to 475 ms depending on process, voltage, and temperature; it is not user-adjustable. The delay ensures downstream logic receives a clean, synchronized reset after all rails reach regulation, preventing metastability in FPGAs or microcontrollers.
How does the LM26484SQ/NOPB achieve low-noise performance for analog LDO applications?
The LM26484SQ/NOPB achieves low-noise LDO performance through its dedicated NMOS LI-LO controller architecture, which separates analog ground (AGND) and power ground (PGND_SW1/PGND_SW2), incorporates a precision 0.5 V internal reference with ±1.5% accuracy, and supports external feedback capacitor (C11) placement within 1 cm of LDOFB/LDO_OUT to suppress high-frequency instability. PSRR is −30 dB at 10 kHz, optimized for analog loads like ADC references and PLL VCO supplies.
