Product details
Overview
LM2672M-5.0 from Texas Instruments is a monolithic step-down (buck) DC-DC switching regulator delivering 1-A output current with fixed 5-V output, ±1.5% output voltage tolerance over line and load, 260-kHz fixed-frequency operation, and up to 90% efficiency at 12-V input. It serves as a high-efficiency primary or preregulator in industrial power supplies and embedded systems requiring stable 5-V rail generation from 8–40-V inputs.
For engineers reviewing the LM2672M-5.0 datasheet, LM2672M-5.0 pinout, LM2672M-5.0 application, or LM2672M-5.0 equivalent, key selection considerations include its SOIC-8 package compatibility, internal DMOS switch with 0.3-Ω typical RDS(ON), TTL-compatible ON/OFF control with 50-μA standby current, and soft-start/synchronization capability for EMI-sensitive designs.
Technical Context
The LM2672M-5.0 integrates a DMOS power MOSFET switch, fixed 260-kHz PWM oscillator, internal frequency compensation, and feedback amplifier with 1.21-V reference. Its control architecture uses voltage-mode PWM with cycle-by-cycle current limiting and thermal shutdown-no external compensation required.
It operates across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature, supports input voltages from 6.5 V to 40 V, and delivers regulated 5-V output with dropout behavior defined by duty cycle limits (max 95%) and switch RDS(ON). Synchronization via the SYNC pin enables precise ripple frequency control above 260 kHz, while the CB pin drives the high-side gate using a bootstrap capacitor.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0 V ±1.5% over full line/load/temperature range-ensures stable logic rail without external resistor network. |
| Max Output Current | 1 A continuous-supports microcontroller cores, FPGAs, and peripheral ICs without derating at 25°C ambient. |
| Input Voltage Range | 6.5 V to 40 V-enables direct use with 12-V, 24-V, and 36-V industrial bus systems. |
| Switching Frequency | 260 kHz fixed-permits compact 47–68-μH inductors and reduces EMI compared to lower-frequency buck converters. |
| RDS(ON) | 0.3 Ω typical at 25°C-minimizes conduction loss and self-heating under 1-A load, enabling PCB copper trace heat sinking only. |
| Standby Current | 50 μA at TJ = 25°C-enables low-power shutdown mode for battery-backed or energy-conscious systems. |
| Efficiency | 90% at VIN = 12 V, IOUT = 1 A-reduces thermal load and improves system-level power density vs. linear regulators. |
Pinout & Package
LM2672M-5.0 is packaged in an 8-pin SOIC (D package), body size 5.00 mm × 6.20 mm, with exposed pad not present. Pin functions are validated per TI SNVS136L datasheet Rev L (June 2016).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (CB) | Bootstrap capacitor connection | Connects 0.01-μF ceramic capacitor to VSW to elevate gate drive above VIN-critical for full enhancement of internal DMOS switch. |
| 2 (SS) | Soft-start timing node | Capacitor from SS to GND sets output voltage ramp time-prevents inrush current and stabilizes startup into large capacitive loads. |
| 3 (SYNC) | External clock synchronization input | Accepts TTL/CMOS clock >260 kHz to lock switching frequency-enables deterministic EMI filtering and multi-rail phase alignment. |
| 4 (FB) | Feedback sense input | Internally tied to 5-V output divider-no external resistors needed; floating or shorted to VOUT ensures regulation accuracy. |
| 5 (ON/OFF) | Enable/disable control input | TTL-compatible: ≥1.4 V enables regulator; ≤0.8 V disables with 50-μA quiescent draw-supports microcontroller GPIO control. |
| 6 (GND) | Power ground | Main return path for input/output capacitors and switch current-requires low-inductance layout to minimize noise coupling. |
| 7 (VIN) | Main power input | Accepts 6.5–40 V DC; connects to high-frequency bypass capacitor-shortest possible trace to CIN and GND is mandatory. |
| 8 (VSW) | Switch node output | Drives external inductor and Schottky catch diode-high dv/dt node requiring tight loop area to reduce radiated emissions. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated DMOS power switch | Eliminates external MOSFET and driver-reduces BOM count and layout complexity while maintaining 1-A capability. |
| Patented internal frequency compensation | Enables stable operation with standard 47–68-μH inductors and 47–68-μF output capacitors-no external compensation network required. |
| TTL shutdown with 50-μA standby | Allows seamless integration into low-power sleep modes without auxiliary circuitry-meets industrial watchdog and wake-on-event requirements. |
| Soft-start and sync capability | Prevents output overshoot during startup and enables synchronized switching across multiple rails-critical for noise-sensitive analog or RF subsystems. |
| Thermal shutdown + current limit protection | Provides fault recovery without external sensing-protects against sustained overload, short-circuit, and ambient overheating up to 150°C junction. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM2672M-5.0?
The absolute maximum input voltage for LM2672M-5.0 is 45 V, but the recommended operating range is 6.5 V to 40 V per the datasheet. Operation above 40 V risks exceeding safe operating area limits and may trigger internal protection circuits. For sustained reliability in 36-V industrial systems, 40 V represents the practical upper limit with margin.
Does LM2672M-5.0 require external feedback resistors to set its output voltage?
No, LM2672M-5.0 does not require external feedback resistors. As a fixed-output variant, it contains internal precision resistor dividers calibrated for 5.0 V ±1.5% regulation. The FB pin is internally connected to the output divider-simply tie FB directly to the output capacitor for proper operation, unlike the adjustable LM2672MX version.
Can LM2672M-5.0 synchronize to an external clock signal?
Yes, LM2672M-5.0 supports external clock synchronization via the SYNC pin. When driven with a TTL/CMOS-compatible signal above 260 kHz (e.g., 400 kHz), the internal oscillator locks to the external frequency. This feature enables EMI reduction through frequency spreading or deterministic ripple placement-critical in communication and medical equipment designs using LM2672M-5.0.
What thermal management is required for LM2672M-5.0 at full 1-A load?
At full 1-A load and 12-V input, LM2672M-5.0 dissipates approximately 0.7 W. With its SOIC-8 package RθJA of 105°C/W, this yields ~74°C rise above ambient-well within the 125°C max junction limit. TI specifies that PCB copper traces serve as sufficient heatsinking; no external heatsink or thermal pad is required if minimum copper area guidelines (≥1 in² per GND/VIN pin) are followed.
Is LM2672M-5.0 RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, LM2672M-5.0 is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per Texas Instruments' official product change notices and material declarations. The SOIC-8 package uses lead-free matte tin plating and meets JEDEC J-STD-609A Class 1 moisture sensitivity level (MSL-1), supporting standard reflow profiles without baking.
