Product details
Overview
LM2653MTCX-ADJ from Texas Instruments is a 1.5A synchronous step-down DC-DC switching regulator in a 16-pin TSSOP package, delivering adjustable output voltage (1.5V–5.0V) from 4V–14V input with up to 97% efficiency and 300 kHz fixed-frequency operation. It integrates high-side/low-side MOSFETs, patented current-sensing circuitry, and protections including thermal shutdown, input UVLO, and output over/undervoltage latching - optimized for battery-powered portable electronics requiring stable, high-efficiency power conversion.
For engineers reviewing the LM2653MTCX-ADJ datasheet, LM2653MTCX-ADJ pinout, LM2653MTCX-ADJ application, or LM2653MTCX-ADJ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 7 µA shutdown current, 0.1 Ω typical switch RDS(ON), adjustable soft-start via SS pin, PGOOD flag with programmable delay, and compatibility with low-profile external components for space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The LM2653MTCX-ADJ operates in constant-frequency current-mode PWM at 300 kHz under moderate-to-heavy loads and automatically transitions to hysteretic "sleep" mode below ~100 mA to maintain >80% efficiency at 15 mA. Its patented internal current sensing eliminates the need for an external sense resistor, improving noise immunity and reducing BOM cost and board area.
Protection architecture includes cycle-by-cycle current limiting (2.0 A typical), input undervoltage lockout (3.8 V rising threshold), output overvoltage (108% VOUT) and undervoltage (81% VOUT) latching with user-programmable delay via LDELAY pin, and thermal shutdown at 165°C with 25°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4 V to 14 V - supports wide-input battery and adapter-fed systems without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage Range | 1.5 V to 5.0 V (adjustable via FB resistive divider) - enables precise core/I/O rail generation for microcontrollers and peripherals. |
| Max Output Current | 1.5 A continuous - sufficient for powering DSPs, FPGAs, and display drivers in portable devices. |
| Switching Frequency | 300 kHz fixed - allows use of compact, low-profile inductors and capacitors while avoiding AM radio band interference. |
| Efficiency | Up to 97% - minimizes thermal load and extends battery life in handheld applications. |
| Shutdown Current | 7 µA - enables ultra-low-power standby states in always-on or wake-on-event systems. |
| Feedback Voltage | 1.238 V (typical) - sets output accuracy and stability; used with external R1/R2 to program VOUT. |

Pinout & Package
LM2653MTCX-ADJ is housed in a 16-pin TSSOP (PW0016A) package with exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected), rated for −40°C to +125°C operating junction temperature and moisture sensitivity level 1 (260°C reflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1–2, SW | Switched-node connection | Drain of internal high-side MOSFET and source of low-side MOSFET; connects to inductor and external Schottky diode anode. |
| 3–5, VIN | Main power supply input | High-current input path feeding high-side MOSFET drain and internal bias circuits; requires low-ESR bulk capacitor. |
| 6, VCB | Bootstrap capacitor connection | Provides gate drive voltage for high-side MOSFET; requires 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor to PGND. |
| 7, AVIN | Analog control supply | Powers error amplifier, oscillator, and protection comparators; decoupled separately from VIN for noise immunity. |
| 8, SD(SS) | Shutdown / Soft-start control | Pulling below 0.3 V disables regulator; capacitor to ground controls ramp-up time and prevents inrush current. |
| 9, FB | Feedback input | Senses output voltage via resistive divider; regulates VOUT to 1.238 V reference; sensitive to noise - requires short trace routing. |
| 10, COMP | Compensation network | Connects external RC/C network to stabilize loop response; critical for transient performance and phase margin. |
| 11, PGOOD | Power-good flag output | Open-drain signal goes low if VOUT deviates >±20% from nominal; enables system sequencing and fault reporting. |
| 12, LDELAY | Undervoltage latch delay | Capacitor to ground sets time delay (T = C × 2 V / 5 µA) before UVLO latching activates after VOUT drops below 81%. |
| 13, AGND | Analog ground reference | Low-noise return for feedback, compensation, and internal analog blocks; must be separated from PGND at single point. |
| 14–16, PGND | Power ground | High-current return path for MOSFETs and input/output capacitors; requires wide copper pour and low-inductance layout. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous rectification | Eliminates external Schottky diode losses; achieves up to 97% efficiency across 100:1 load range (15 mA–1.5 A). |

FAQ
What is the recommended input capacitor for LM2653MTCX-ADJ?
A low-ESR aluminum, tantalum, or ceramic capacitor is required between VIN and PGND. For maximum 14 V input, use ≥17.5 V-rated aluminum/ceramic or ≥28 V-rated tantalum. A 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor in parallel reduces high-frequency noise. RMS current rating must handle up to IOUT/2, peaking when VIN ≈ 2×VOUT. The LM2653MTCX-ADJ datasheet specifies this requirement to ensure stable operation and minimize input voltage ripple.
Does LM2653MTCX-ADJ require an external Schottky diode?
Yes - an external Schottky diode is recommended across SW and PGND to prevent conduction through the intrinsic body diode of the internal low-side MOSFET during dead time. This improves efficiency by 1–2%, especially at higher input voltages and loads, and reduces switching loss and noise. The LM2653MTCX-ADJ design guide specifies D1 breakdown voltage ≥1.25×VIN(MAX) and average current rating >30% of 1.5 A.
How is output voltage adjusted on LM2653MTCX-ADJ?
VOUT is set using a resistive divider from output to FB pin and from FB to AGND. The formula is VOUT = 1.238 V × (1 + R1/R2), where R1 connects to output and R2 to AGND. TI recommends 10 kΩ–100 kΩ metal-film resistors with ≥1% tolerance. The LM2653MTCX-ADJ's 1.238 V feedback reference ensures accurate regulation across temperature and load conditions.
What is the function of the LDELAY pin on LM2653MTCX-ADJ?
The LDELAY pin sets the time delay between VOUT falling below 81% of nominal and activation of the undervoltage latch protection. A capacitor from LDELAY to AGND creates this delay: TDELAY = CDELAY × 2 V / 5 µA. Tying LDELAY to AGND disables the delay. This feature prevents false latch trips during brief load transients - a key capability of the LM2653MTCX-ADJ in real-world portable applications.
Can LM2653MTCX-ADJ operate with input voltage below 4 V?
No - the LM2653MTCX-ADJ has a guaranteed operating input range of 4 V to 14 V per its Absolute Maximum and Operating Ratings. Input undervoltage lockout triggers at 3.8 V (rising edge), and the device will not start or sustain regulation below 4 V. Attempting operation below this threshold may result in unstable output or failure to enable; the LM2653MTCX-ADJ is not specified for sub-4 V battery chemistries like fully depleted Li-ion.
