Product details
Overview
LM2671M-ADJ/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a monolithic step-down (buck) DC-DC switching regulator IC with adjustable output voltage (1.21 V to 37 V), 500-mA output current capability, 260-kHz fixed-frequency operation, and integrated 0.25-Ω DMOS power switch - used in industrial power supplies and embedded systems requiring high-efficiency voltage conversion from 8 V–40 V input sources.
For engineers reviewing the LM2671M-ADJ/NOPB datasheet, LM2671M-ADJ/NOPB pinout, LM2671M-ADJ/NOPB application, or LM2671M-ADJ/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include feedback voltage tolerance (±1.5%), soft-start control via external capacitor, TTL-compatible ON/OFF enable, SYNC frequency synchronization capability, and thermal shutdown protection.
Technical Context
The LM2671M-ADJ/NOPB implements a current-mode PWM controller with internal 260-kHz oscillator, fixed-frequency operation, and cycle-by-cycle current limiting. Its DMOS power switch delivers up to 500 mA with RDS(ON) = 0.25 Ω at 25°C, enabling >90% efficiency across load and line conditions.
It features an internal two-stage high-gain feedback amplifier referenced to 1.21 V (VFB), soft-start controlled by external capacitor on SS pin, and synchronous clock input (SYNC) supporting external frequency forcing above 275 kHz. Shutdown mode draws only 50 μA standby current when ON/OFF pin is pulled low.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 500 mA maximum continuous - supports mid-power industrial loads without external pass devices. |
| Input Voltage Range | 6.5 V to 40 V - accommodates wide-range unregulated DC inputs including 12 V, 24 V, and 36 V battery or rail systems. |
| Feedback Voltage | 1.21 V ±1.5% - sets output via resistor divider; enables precise 1.21–37 V adjustment with minimal drift over temperature. |
| Switching Frequency | 260 kHz (±10%) - allows compact LC filter design while avoiding AM radio band interference. |
| Efficiency | Up to 90% at 12 VIN/500 mA - reduces thermal load and eliminates need for heatsinks in PCB copper-only thermal management. |
| Quiescent Current | 3.6 mA typical active, 50 μA standby - enables low-power system sleep modes without compromising wake-up response. |
| Thermal Protection | Integrated thermal shutdown - disables switch and prevents damage during sustained overload or poor airflow. |
Pinout & Package
LM2671M-ADJ/NOPB is packaged 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 | Bootstrap capacitor connection | Connects 100-nF ceramic capacitor to VSW to drive high-side MOSFET gate above VIN for full enhancement. |
| SS | Soft-start control input | External capacitor to GND controls output voltage ramp rate; floating disables soft-start. |
| SYNC | Frequency synchronization input | Accepts TTL/CMOS clock >275 kHz to lock switching frequency; open-circuit defaults to 260 kHz. |
| FB | Feedback sense input | Monitors voltage divider midpoint; regulates output to 1.21 V reference - determines final VOUT. |
| ON/OFF | Enable/disable control | TTL-compatible input: ≥1.4 V enables, ≤0.8 V disables; internal 20-μA pullup simplifies logic interfacing. |
| VSW | Switch node output | Drives external inductor and Schottky diode cathode; swings from VIN to ~−0.5 V during switching. |
| GND | Power ground | Common return for input/output capacitors and internal circuitry; requires short, low-inductance PCB trace. |
| VIN | Input supply | Accepts 6.5–40 V DC; must be bypassed with local high-frequency capacitor to minimize noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated DMOS power switch | 0.25-Ω RDS(ON) enables 500-mA output without external FET or heat sink - reduces BOM count and layout area. |
| Fixed 260-kHz oscillator | Enables consistent EMI profile and predictable filter sizing; avoids subharmonic oscillation in current-mode control. |
| Adjustable output range | 1.21 V to 37 V via two-resistor feedback divider - supports diverse system rails including analog, digital, and sensor supplies. |
| TTL-compatible ON/OFF control | 50-μA standby current and 1.4-V enable threshold allow direct interface with microcontrollers and logic-level sequencers. |
| Internal frequency compensation | Eliminates need for external compensation network - simplifies design and improves stability across operating conditions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2672MX-ADJ/NOPB | Same architecture but rated for 1-A output; higher RDS(ON) (0.35 Ω) and larger SOIC-8 thermal footprint. | Supports higher-current loads without redesign; requires larger inductor and output capacitor. | Select when >500 mA peak load or higher thermal margin is required; pinout identical but layout thermal relief must scale. |
| TPS5430DDAR | 3-A synchronous buck with integrated high/low-side FETs; 500-kHz switching; no external diode needed. | Higher integration reduces component count but increases complexity in feedback loop compensation. | Choose for space-constrained designs needing >500 mA; not drop-in due to different pinout, sync behavior, and compensation requirements. |
Compared with LM2671M-ADJ/NOPB, LM2672MX-ADJ/NOPB offers higher current capacity in same package, while TPS5430DDAR provides synchronous rectification and higher integration at cost of design complexity and non-pin-compatible layout.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for stable operation of the LM2671M-ADJ/NOPB?
The LM2671M-ADJ/NOPB specifies a recommended minimum input voltage of 6.5 V across its operating temperature range. Below this, regulation may be lost due to insufficient headroom for the internal control circuitry and switch driver. At 25°C, functional operation has been verified down to 6.5 V with full 500-mA load capability and ±1.5% output tolerance - confirmed in Section 7.3 of the SNVS008L datasheet.
How does the soft-start function work on the LM2671M-ADJ/NOPB, and what capacitor value is recommended?
The LM2671M-ADJ/NOPB uses an internal 4.5-μA current source to charge an external capacitor on the SS pin, controlling the ramp rate of the output voltage. A 10-nF capacitor yields ~2.2-ms soft-start time; values from 1 nF to 100 nF are supported. Leaving SS floating disables soft-start entirely. This feature prevents inrush current into large output capacitors and avoids system-level reset glitches during power-up.
Can the LM2671M-ADJ/NOPB synchronize to an external clock, and what are the electrical requirements?
Yes - the LM2671M-ADJ/NOPB accepts an external TTL/CMOS clock on the SYNC pin to force switching frequency above its internal 260-kHz oscillator (up to 400 kHz). The signal must exceed 1.4 V threshold, be ac-coupled via 100-pF capacitor + 1-kΩ resistor to GND, and maintain >275 kHz to avoid oscillator reset anomalies. When enabled, frequency foldback protection is disabled - a documented trade-off per Section 8.3.5.
What is the purpose of the CB pin on the LM2671M-ADJ/NOPB, and how must it be connected?
The CB (bootstrap capacitor) pin on the LM2671M-ADJ/NOPB provides gate drive voltage boost for the internal high-side DMOS switch. It must be connected via a 100-nF ceramic capacitor directly to the VSW pin - not to GND or VIN. This bootstrap configuration ensures the gate-source voltage remains >5 V across the full input range, maintaining low RDS(ON) and high efficiency. Omitting or misrouting this capacitor causes erratic switching or failure to regulate.
Does the LM2671M-ADJ/NOPB include overcurrent and thermal protection, and how do they behave under fault conditions?
Yes - the LM2671M-ADJ/NOPB integrates cycle-by-cycle current limiting (typical 0.62–1.2 A trip threshold) and thermal shutdown (activates at ~150°C junction temperature). Under sustained overload, current limit triggers immediate switch turn-off per cycle; if overheating occurs, thermal shutdown latches off the device until temperature falls below ~135°C. Both protections are fully specified in Sections 7.9 and 7.4 of the SNVS008L datasheet.
