Product details
Overview
LM2672M-ADJ/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a monolithic step-down (buck) DC-DC switching regulator IC with integrated 1-A DMOS power MOSFET, adjustable output voltage range of 1.21 V to 37 V, ±1.5% output voltage tolerance over line and load, 260-kHz fixed-frequency oscillator, and thermal/current-limit protection. It serves as a high-efficiency (>90%) primary voltage regulator in industrial power supplies and embedded systems requiring stable 1-A output.
For engineers reviewing the LM2672M-ADJ/NOPB datasheet, LM2672M-ADJ/NOPB pinout, LM2672M-ADJ/NOPB application, or LM2672M-ADJ/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 8-pin SOIC package, 8 V–40 V input range, soft-start and frequency synchronization capability, and requirement for only five external components in typical buck designs.
Technical Context
The LM2672M-ADJ/NOPB implements a current-mode PWM control architecture with an internal 260-kHz oscillator, enabling stable regulation across wide input (8–40 V) and output (1.21–37 V) ranges. Its integrated high-side DMOS FET features 0.3 Ω typical RDS(ON) at 25°C and supports up to 1.55 A current limit.
Functional blocks include a precision 1.21-V feedback reference amplifier, TTL-compatible ON/OFF enable with 50 μA standby current, soft-start via external capacitor, and SYNC input accepting external clocks up to 400 kHz - all operating within –40°C to +125°C junction temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 1 A continuous - supports full-load operation without external current boosting. |
| Input Voltage Range | 8 V to 40 V - enables direct use with 12 V, 24 V, and 36 V industrial bus rails. |
| Output Voltage Range | 1.21 V to 37 V - set via external resistor divider on FB pin; 1.21-V reference enables low-voltage logic rail generation. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.21 V ±1.5% - defines output accuracy; determines minimum output voltage and sets divider ratio. |
| Switching Frequency | 260 kHz (±10%) - enables compact LC filter design with standard off-the-shelf inductors and capacitors. |
| Efficiency | Up to 96% - reduces thermal stress; allows PCB copper traces alone to serve as heat sink under typical loads. |
| Quiescent Current | 3.6 mA active, 50 μA standby - minimizes no-load power loss in battery-backed or energy-sensitive systems. |
Pinout & Package
LM2672M-ADJ/NOPB is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package measuring 5.00 mm × 6.20 mm, with exposed pad not present. Pin functions are validated per TI SNVS136L datasheet Section 6.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 CB | Bootstrap capacitor connection | Connects 100-nF ceramic capacitor to VSW to gate-drive high-side MOSFET fully ON; critical for low RDS(ON) and efficiency. |
| 2 SS | Soft-start timing input | Accepts external capacitor to GND; controls output voltage ramp rate and prevents inrush current during startup. |
| 3 SYNC | External clock synchronization input | Accepts TTL/CMOS clock >260 kHz; enables EMI control and multi-regulator phase alignment. |
| 4 FB | Feedback sense input | Monitors output via resistor divider; 1.21-V reference sets regulated output voltage precisely. |
| 5 ON/OFF | Enable/disable control input | TTL-compatible; <1.4 V disables regulator with 50 μA standby current; floating or >1.4 V enables operation. |
| 6 GND | Power ground | Main return path for input/output capacitors and inductor; must be short, low-inductance connection to minimize noise. |
| 7 VIN | Input supply connection | Connects to 8–40 V source and high-frequency input capacitor; high-current path requiring minimal trace inductance. |
| 8 VSW | Switch node output | Drives external inductor and catch diode; swings between VIN and ~−0.5 V; requires tight layout to reduce EMI and ringing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 1-A DMOS power switch | Eliminates need for external MOSFET and driver; reduces BOM count and layout complexity in buck converters. |
| Patented internal frequency compensation | Enables stable loop response with minimal external components - no external compensation network required. |
| Frequency synchronization input | Allows precise ripple frequency control for EMI filtering and multi-rail system coordination without changing component values. |
| TTL shutdown with 50-μA standby | Supports low-power sleep modes in portable or always-on equipment while maintaining fast wake-up capability. |
| Thermal shutdown + cycle-by-cycle current limit | Provides robust fault protection against overload, short-circuit, and overheating without external sensing circuitry. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2671M-ADJ/NOPB | 3-A output current, same 260-kHz frequency and pinout, but larger thermal footprint required. | Suitable where higher load current is needed; not drop-in due to different current-sense and thermal design requirements. | Select when >1 A output is required and board layout allows for increased thermal management. |
| TPS54202DRCT | 2-A synchronous buck, 4.5–28 V input, 500-kHz switching, integrated high/low-side FETs, smaller 10-pin WSON package. | Better suited for compact, high-density designs; lacks SYNC and soft-start pins; requires different compensation. | Prefer for space-constrained, higher-frequency designs where synchronous rectification improves light-load efficiency. |
Compared with LM2672M-ADJ/NOPB, LM2671M-ADJ/NOPB delivers higher current but demands more PCB area and thermal margin, while TPS54202DRCT offers smaller size and synchronous operation at the cost of reduced feature parity (no SYNC, no soft-start pin, different feedback structure).

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LM2672M-ADJ/NOPB?
The absolute maximum input voltage for LM2672M-ADJ/NOPB is 45 V, but the recommended operating range is 8 V to 40 V. Operation above 40 V risks exceeding safe operating area limits and may trigger thermal shutdown or damage the internal DMOS switch. For sustained reliability, keep VIN ≤ 40 V under all conditions including transients.
How does the feedback pin (FB) function in the LM2672M-ADJ/NOPB?
The FB pin of LM2672M-ADJ/NOPB senses the output voltage via an external resistor divider and compares it to an internal 1.21-V precision reference. The error amplifier drives the PWM controller to maintain regulation. For the adjustable version, the output voltage is calculated as VOUT = 1.21 V × (1 + R1/R2), where R1 connects to VOUT and R2 connects to GND.
Can the LM2672M-ADJ/NOPB synchronize to an external clock, and what are the requirements?
Yes, LM2672M-ADJ/NOPB supports external clock synchronization via the SYNC pin. The external clock must exceed 260 kHz (up to 400 kHz), be TTL/CMOS compatible (0–>3 V), and be AC-coupled using a 100-pF capacitor and 1-kΩ pull-down resistor. When enabled, internal oscillator is disabled, but current-limit frequency foldback is deactivated - short-circuit protection remains via cycle-by-cycle current limiting.
What is the purpose of the CB pin on the LM2672M-ADJ/NOPB, and what capacitor value is recommended?
CB is the bootstrap capacitor terminal for the high-side MOSFET gate drive. It must be connected to the VSW pin with a 100-nF ceramic capacitor (X7R or C0G, 50 V rating). This capacitor charges during the low-side conduction phase and provides the gate-source voltage needed to fully enhance the high-side DMOS FET, minimizing conduction losses and sustaining >90% efficiency.
Does the LM2672M-ADJ/NOPB require external compensation components?
No, LM2672M-ADJ/NOPB incorporates patented internal frequency compensation, eliminating the need for external compensation networks. This simplifies design and ensures stable operation with the standard 5-component configuration (input cap, output cap, inductor, catch diode, and FB divider). Layout best practices - especially short GND and VIN paths - remain essential for stability and noise control.
