Product details
Overview
LM2671N-3.3/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a monolithic step-down (buck) DC-DC switching regulator delivering a fixed 3.3-V output at up to 500 mA, with ±1.5% output voltage tolerance, 260-kHz fixed-frequency operation, and 86% efficiency at 12-V input/500-mA load. It integrates a 0.25-Ω DMOS power switch and supports wide 6.5–40-V input range for industrial power conversion.
For engineers reviewing the LM2671N-3.3/NOPB datasheet, LM2671N-3.3/NOPB pinout, LM2671N-3.3/NOPB application, or LM2671N-3.3/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include its SOIC-8 package compatibility, TTL-compatible ON/OFF control, soft-start capability via external capacitor, and requirement for only five external components in standard buck configuration.
Technical Context
The LM2671N-3.3/NOPB implements a current-mode PWM controller with internal 260-kHz oscillator and integrated high-side DMOS switch. Its feedback loop uses a direct connection from FB pin to output (no external divider), enabling stable regulation of the fixed 3.3-V output across line (6.5–40 V) and load (20–500 mA) variations.
Functional modes include active regulation and low-power shutdown (50-μA standby), triggered by TTL-level ON/OFF pin voltage thresholds (1.4 V typical). Protection features include cycle-by-cycle current limiting (0.62–1.2 A), thermal shutdown, and frequency foldback under extreme overload.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3 V ±1.5% over full temperature and load range - ensures reliable logic supply for 3.3-V microcontrollers and FPGAs. |
| Max Output Current | 500 mA continuous - sufficient for powering multiple digital ICs or small subsystems without external boost stages. |
| Input Voltage Range | 6.5 V to 40 V - supports unregulated 12-V/24-V industrial rails and automotive battery-supplied systems with transients. |
| Switching Frequency | 260 kHz (±10%) - enables use of compact, off-the-shelf inductors and reduces EMI compared to lower-frequency alternatives. |
| Efficiency | 86% at VIN = 12 V, IOUT = 500 mA - minimizes thermal dissipation; PCB copper traces serve as sole heatsink in most layouts. |
| Quiescent Current | 3.6 mA typical in active mode; 50 μA in shutdown - supports low-power wake-on-event architectures. |
| ON/OFF Threshold | 1.4 V (typical) - compatible with standard CMOS/TTL logic levels for seamless system-level enable control. |
Pinout & Package
LM2671N-3.3/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 (Pin 1) | Bootstrap capacitor node | Connects 100-nF ceramic capacitor to VSW to gate-drive high-side DMOS switch fully ON - critical for achieving specified RDS(ON) and efficiency. |
| SS (Pin 2) | Soft-start control | Accepts external capacitor to linearly ramp output voltage at startup - prevents inrush current and stabilizes downstream sequencing. |
| SYNC (Pin 3) | Frequency synchronization input | Allows external clock injection (>275 kHz) to lock switching frequency - essential for EMI reduction in noise-sensitive systems. |
| FB (Pin 4) | Feedback sense | Internally tied to 3.3-V reference; connected directly to output capacitor - eliminates need for resistor divider and simplifies layout. |
| ON/OFF (Pin 5) | Enable/disable control | TTL-compatible input; <0.8 V disables regulator with 50-μA standby draw - enables power-domain isolation in multi-rail systems. |
| VSW (Pin 8) | Switch node | Drives external Schottky diode and inductor - high dv/dt node requiring tight layout and ground plane separation to minimize ringing. |
| GND (Pin 6) | Power ground | Primary return path for input/output capacitors and switch current - must be short, low-inductance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| VIN (Pin 7) | Input supply | Accepts 6.5–40 V DC; requires local 22-μF tantalum bypass capacitor - feeds both power switch and internal bias circuitry. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 0.25-Ω DMOS switch | Reduces conduction losses and eliminates need for external MOSFET - lowers BOM count and improves thermal performance at 500-mA load. |
| Patented internal frequency compensation | Enables stable operation with standard external components - no loop compensation design required for basic buck topology. |
| Soft-start with external capacitor | Provides controlled output voltage ramp-up - prevents overshoot and avoids false triggering of downstream reset circuits. |
| TTL shutdown with 50-μA standby | Supports system-level power gating - allows deep sleep states while maintaining fast wake-up response (<100 μs). |
| Thermal shutdown + current limit | Protects against sustained overload or ambient overheating - latches off until junction cools, preventing catastrophic failure. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Module Power | Automotive Body Control Unit (BCU) |

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-3.3/NOPB | Same architecture but in SOIC-8 with improved thermal resistance (RθJA = 105°C/W vs. 110°C/W); identical electrical specs. | Preferred for higher ambient temperature environments where junction temperature margin is critical. | Select when thermal derating above 85°C ambient is required; pinout and footprint identical. |
| TPS54331DR | 3-A synchronous buck with adjustable output; 570-kHz switching; requires external feedback resistors and has different pinout. | Suitable for higher-current or adjustable-voltage designs; not a drop-in replacement due to different control scheme and package. | Choose only if >500-mA output or programmability is needed; requires PCB redesign and new layout validation. |
Compared with LM2672MX-3.3/NOPB, the LM2671N-3.3/NOPB offers identical functionality in legacy SOIC-8 packaging but with slightly higher thermal resistance; versus TPS54331DR, it trades current capability and flexibility for simplicity, lower component count, and proven reliability in fixed-output industrial deployments.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LM2671N-3.3/NOPB?
The LM2671N-3.3/NOPB has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 45 V, with recommended operating range from 6.5 V to 40 V. Operation beyond 40 V risks exceeding safe operating area limits and may trigger internal protection or cause permanent damage. The 40-V upper limit ensures reliable performance across industrial and automotive transients while maintaining specified efficiency and regulation.
Does the LM2671N-3.3/NOPB require an external feedback resistor network?
No, the LM2671N-3.3/NOPB does not require external feedback resistors. As a fixed-output variant, its FB pin is internally connected to a precision 3.3-V reference; the pin must be connected directly to the output capacitor for regulation. This eliminates resistor tolerance errors and simplifies layout - a key differentiator from adjustable regulators like the LM2671M-ADJ.
Can the LM2671N-3.3/NOPB synchronize to an external clock?
Yes, the LM2671N-3.3/NOPB supports external frequency synchronization via the SYNC pin (Pin 3). An external TTL/CMOS clock signal above 275 kHz can be ac-coupled to this pin to lock the internal 260-kHz oscillator - enabling EMI reduction and predictable ripple placement in noise-sensitive applications such as communications equipment.
What thermal considerations apply to the LM2671N-3.3/NOPB in SOIC-8 package?
The LM2671N-3.3/NOPB in SOIC-8 (D package) has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 105°C/W under standard JEDEC test conditions. To maintain TJ ≤ 125°C at 500-mA load, PCB layout must include ≥1 square inch of 2-oz copper connected to GND pins. Thermal vias under the GND pad further reduce resistance - critical for continuous operation in enclosed enclosures.
Is the LM2671N-3.3/NOPB suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the LM2671N-3.3/NOPB is widely used in automotive body electronics (e.g., door modules, lighting controls) due to its 40-V input rating, –40°C to +125°C operating junction temperature range, and built-in protections (thermal shutdown, current limit). While not AEC-Q200 qualified itself, it meets functional requirements for non-safety-critical 12-V/24-V subsystems when properly derated and validated per OEM specifications.
