Product details
Overview
LM2671M-5.0 from Texas Instruments is a monolithic step-down (buck) DC-DC switching regulator IC delivering 5 V at up to 500 mA output current, featuring 260-kHz fixed-frequency operation, ±1.5% output voltage tolerance over line/load/temperature, 0.25-Ω DMOS power switch, and wide 6.5–40 V input range. It serves as a high-efficiency primary or preregulator in industrial power supplies and embedded systems requiring stable 5-V rail generation.
For engineers reviewing the LM2671M-5.0 datasheet, LM2671M-5.0 pinout, LM2671M-5.0 application, or LM2671M-5.0 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 500-mA load capability, thermal shutdown and cycle-by-cycle current limiting, soft-start control via external capacitor, TTL-compatible ON/OFF enable, and synchronization input for EMI-sensitive designs.
Technical Context
The LM2671M-5.0 integrates a DMOS power MOSFET switch, PWM controller with internal 260-kHz oscillator, error amplifier, and protection circuitry into a single SOIC-8 package. Its fixed-output architecture eliminates external feedback resistors - the FB pin connects directly to VOUT for regulation.
Operation relies on bootstrap-driven high-side gate drive (CB-to-VSW), synchronous rectification via external Schottky diode, and duty-cycle modulation proportional to VOUT/VIN. Shutdown mode reduces quiescent current to 50 μA, while soft-start limits inrush via external capacitor on SS pin.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0 V ±1.5% over full temperature and load range - ensures stable logic supply without trimming. |
| Max Output Current | 500 mA continuous - supports microcontroller cores, sensors, and interface ICs without external boost stages. |
| Input Voltage Range | 6.5 V to 40 V - accommodates 12-V and 24-V industrial buses, automotive battery transients, and unregulated AC/DC outputs. |
| Switching Frequency | 260 kHz (±10%) - enables compact LC filter design with standard off-the-shelf inductors and low-ESR capacitors. |
| Efficiency | 90% at VIN = 12 V, IOUT = 500 mA - minimizes thermal stress; PCB copper traces suffice as heatsink. |
| Quiescent Current | 3.6 mA typical in active mode; 50 μA in shutdown - extends battery life in standby applications. |
| ON/OFF Threshold | 1.4 V (typical) - compatible with 3.3-V and 5-V logic-level control signals without level shifting. |
Pinout & Package
LM2671M-5.0 is supplied in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package (4.90 mm × 3.91 mm body size) with exposed pad not present. Pin functions are validated per TI SNVS008L Rev L datasheet.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CB (Pin 1) | Bootstrap capacitor connection | Connects 100-nF ceramic capacitor to VSW to generate gate drive voltage > VIN for full DMOS enhancement. |
| SS (Pin 2) | Soft-start control input | External capacitor sets output voltage ramp time; floating disables soft-start. |
| SYNC (Pin 3) | Frequency synchronization input | Accepts external TTL/CMOS clock >260 kHz to align switching frequency for EMI reduction or multi-rail coordination. |
| FB (Pin 4) | Feedback sense input | Internally tied to 5-V reference; connect directly to output capacitor for fixed 5-V regulation - no resistor divider needed. |
| ON/OFF (Pin 5) | Enable/disable control | Logic-high (>1.4 V) enables regulator; ≤0.8 V forces shutdown with 50-μA standby current. |
| VSW (Pin 8) | Switch node output | Drives external Schottky diode cathode and inductor; swings between VIN and ~−0.4 V during switching. |
| GND (Pin 6) | Power ground | Primary return path for input/output capacitors and inductor; requires short, low-inductance PCB trace. |
| VIN (Pin 7) | Input supply | Accepts 6.5–40 V; must be bypassed with low-ESR capacitor placed adjacent to pin and GND. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated DMOS power switch | 0.25-Ω RDS(ON) at 25°C - reduces conduction loss and improves efficiency above 85% across 100–500 mA loads. |
| Internal frequency compensation | Patented compensation eliminates need for external compensation network - simplifies design and improves stability margin. |
| Thermal shutdown + current limit | Combined protection triggers at junction temperature >150°C and peak switch current >0.62 A - prevents damage under overload or short-circuit. |
| Soft-start with external capacitor | Adjustable startup time avoids input inrush and output overshoot - critical for powering sensitive downstream logic. |
| TTL-compatible enable input | ON/OFF pin accepts standard logic levels and includes internal 20-μA pull-up - enables direct MCU GPIO control without external biasing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2672M-5.0 | Same pinout, identical electrical specs, but rated for extended temperature range (–40°C to +125°C vs. –40°C to +125°C - same); minor process revision with improved ESD robustness (HBM ±2000 V). | No functional difference in standard industrial use; preferred for automotive under-hood or high-reliability deployments requiring tighter AEC-Q100 alignment. | Select LM2672M-5.0 when extended qualification or enhanced ESD margin is required; otherwise LM2671M-5.0 remains fully suitable. |
| TPS54202DR | 2-A output, 4.5–28-V input, 500-kHz switching, integrated FETs, but requires external feedback resistors and lacks SYNC input. | Higher current capacity and smaller solution size, but lacks frequency synchronization and fixed 5-V option - demands redesign of feedback and layout. | Choose TPS54202DR only when >500 mA is needed or board area is severely constrained; LM2671M-5.0 offers simpler BOM and proven 5-V stability. |
Compared with LM2672M-5.0, the LM2671M-5.0 provides identical performance in standard environments at lower cost, while TPS54202DR trades simplicity and synchronization capability for higher current density - making LM2671M-5.0 optimal for cost-sensitive, noise-controlled, fixed-rail applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM2671M-5.0?
The LM2671M-5.0 has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 45 V, with recommended operating range from 6.5 V to 40 V. Operation within this 6.5–40 V window ensures guaranteed 500-mA output, ±1.5% regulation, and thermal stability per TI SNVS008L datasheet specifications. Exceeding 40 V may trigger internal protection but is not recommended for sustained operation.
Does LM2671M-5.0 require external feedback resistors to set its output voltage?
No. The LM2671M-5.0 is a fixed-output variant: its internal feedback divider is factory-trimmed for 5.0 V, so the FB pin must be connected directly to the output capacitor. Unlike the adjustable LM2671MX-ADJ version, no external resistors are needed - eliminating drift, layout sensitivity, and BOM cost associated with resistor networks.
Can LM2671M-5.0 synchronize to an external clock signal?
Yes. The LM2671M-5.0 includes a dedicated SYNC pin (Pin 3) that accepts TTL- or CMOS-compatible external clocks above 260 kHz. When driven, it overrides the internal 260-kHz oscillator and locks switching frequency to the external source - enabling EMI reduction, multi-rail phase alignment, and spectral placement control in noise-sensitive systems.
What thermal management is required for LM2671M-5.0 at full 500-mA load?
At 500-mA output and 12-V input, LM2671M-5.0 operates at ~90% efficiency, dissipating ~550 mW. With its SOIC-8 package (RθJA = 105°C/W), a 1-inch² copper pour is sufficient for <30°C rise above ambient - no heatsink or forced air is required. Thermal shutdown activates at 150°C junction temperature, providing fault protection.
How does the soft-start function work on LM2671M-5.0?
The LM2671M-5.0 implements soft-start via an external capacitor on the SS pin (Pin 2). Charging this capacitor through an internal 4.5-μA current source controls the ramp rate of the output voltage, preventing inrush current and overshoot. A 100-nF capacitor yields ~22-ms startup; leaving SS open disables soft-start entirely.
