Product details
Overview
LM2672MX-ADJ/E7000820 from Texas Instruments is a monolithic step-down (buck) DC-DC switching regulator IC delivering up to 1 A output current with adjustable output voltage (1.21 V to 37 V), 260-kHz fixed-frequency operation, ±1.5% output voltage tolerance over line and load, and 90% typical efficiency at 12-V input/1-A load. It serves as a primary power conversion stage in industrial power supplies and distributed DC systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM2672MX-ADJ/E7000820 datasheet, LM2672MX-ADJ/E7000820 pinout, LM2672MX-ADJ/E7000820 application, or LM2672MX-ADJ/E7000820 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 8-V to 40-V wide input range, internal DMOS power switch with 0.3-Ω typical RDS(ON), soft-start control via external capacitor, TTL-compatible ON/OFF enable, and synchronization capability for EMI-sensitive designs.
Technical Context
The LM2672MX-ADJ/E7000820 integrates a fixed-frequency PWM controller, internal 260-kHz oscillator, high-side DMOS power switch, and feedback amplifier with 1.21-V reference. Its architecture uses voltage-mode control with internal frequency compensation, eliminating need for external loop compensation components.
It operates in continuous conduction mode (CCM) across full 1-A load range at typical input voltages, supports external frequency synchronization above 260 kHz, and implements cycle-by-cycle current limiting (1.25–2.1 A) plus thermal shutdown for fault protection. The FB pin senses output voltage via external resistor divider, enabling precise regulation of any output within 1.21 V–37 V range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 1 A maximum continuous - supports single-rail loads such as microcontrollers, FPGAs, and analog subsystems 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 and battery systems. |
| Output Voltage Range | 1.21 V to 37 V (adjustable) - set via external resistor divider on FB pin; 1.21-V reference allows low-voltage logic rail generation. |
| Switching Frequency | 260 kHz fixed - permits use of compact, low-ESR ceramic or tantalum output capacitors and standard 47–68-μH inductors. |
| Efficiency | 90% typical at VIN = 12 V, IOUT = 1 A - reduces thermal load on PCB; copper traces suffice as heat sink under normal operation. |
| Feedback Tolerance | ±1.5% over line/load/temp - ensures stable regulation across industrial temperature range (–40°C to 125°C). |
| Standby Current | 50 μA typical - enables ultra-low-power shutdown in battery-backed or energy-conscious systems. |
Pinout & Package
LM2672MX-ADJ/E7000820 is packaged in an 8-pin SOIC (D package) with 5.00 mm × 6.20 mm body size and standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 CB | Bootstrap capacitor connection | Connects 100-nF ceramic capacitor to VSW to gate-drive high-side DMOS switch fully ON; critical for minimizing RDS(ON) and conduction loss. |
| 2 SS | Soft-start control | Accepts external capacitor to linearly ramp output voltage at startup; prevents inrush current and overshoot during power-up. |
| 3 SYNC | Frequency synchronization input | Accepts external TTL/CMOS clock >260 kHz to align switching frequency; enables EMI filtering predictability and multi-regulator phase control. |
| 4 FB | Feedback sense input | High-impedance (85 nA bias) input referenced to 1.21 V; connects to resistor divider to set output voltage precisely across temperature and load. |
| 5 ON/OFF | Enable/disable control | TTL-compatible input: <1.4 V disables regulator (50 μA standby); >1.4 V enables operation; internal 20-μA pullup allows floating for always-on use. |
| 6 GND | Power ground | Primary return path for high-current switch node and input/output capacitors; must be short, low-inductance connection to minimize noise and instability. |
| 7 VIN | Main power input | Accepts 8–40 V DC; connects directly to high-frequency input bypass capacitor (CIN) to suppress switching transients and supply ripple. |
| 8 VSW | Switch node output | Drives external inductor and Schottky catch diode; swings between VIN and ~–0.5 V; requires tight layout to reduce EMI and ringing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated DMOS power switch | 0.3 Ω typical RDS(ON) at 25°C - enables high-efficiency 1-A conversion without external MOSFET or driver complexity. |
| Internal frequency compensation | Patented compensation eliminates need for external Type II/III compensation network - simplifies design and improves stability margin. |
| Thermal shutdown + current limit | Combines cycle-by-cycle current limiting (1.25–2.1 A) and thermal cutoff (>150°C) - provides robust fault protection without external circuitry. |
| Soft-start and sync capability | SS pin controls startup slew rate; SYNC pin accepts external clock >260 kHz - supports deterministic power sequencing and EMI-controlled system timing. |
| Low-quiescent-current shutdown | 50 μA typical standby current - preserves battery life in portable or always-on monitoring equipment during inactive periods. |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drive Power Supply | Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) I/O Module |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2671MX-ADJ/NOPB | 3-A output current rating; same 260-kHz frequency and pinout; higher RDS(ON) (0.4 Ω typ) and quiescent current (5 mA). | Better suited for higher-current loads where board space allows larger inductor/capacitor; less efficient at light loads due to higher IQ. | Select when >1 A output is required and thermal headroom exists; verify inductor saturation current exceeds 3 A peak. |
| TPS54202DRCT | 2-A synchronous buck; 400–2500-kHz adjustable frequency; integrated high/low-side MOSFETs; 2.5-V to 6-V input only. | Requires lower input voltage; supports smaller magnetics and faster transient response; lacks SYNC and soft-start pins. | Prefer for compact, high-frequency designs powered from 3.3-V or 5-V rails; not suitable for 8–40-V industrial inputs. |
Compared with LM2671MX-ADJ/NOPB, LM2672MX-ADJ/E7000820 offers lower quiescent current and better light-load efficiency but half the output current; versus TPS54202DRCT, it supports wider input range and external synchronization but requires an external Schottky diode and has fixed frequency.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for stable operation of the LM2672MX-ADJ/E7000820?
The LM2672MX-ADJ/E7000820 specifies a recommended minimum input voltage of 6.5 V, though stable regulation is guaranteed down to 8 V across full load and temperature range per datasheet Section 7.3. Operation below 8 V may cause dropout or reduced current capability depending on output voltage setting and duty cycle constraints.
Can the LM2672MX-ADJ/E7000820 be synchronized to an external clock, and what are the voltage requirements?
Yes, the LM2672MX-ADJ/E7000820 supports external synchronization via its SYNC pin. The external clock must exceed the internal 260-kHz oscillator frequency (up to 275 kHz), be TTL- or CMOS-compatible (0 V to >3 V), and be AC-coupled using a 100-pF capacitor and 1-kΩ pull-down resistor per Section 9.3.3 of the datasheet.
What is the purpose of the CB pin on the LM2672MX-ADJ/E7000820, and what capacitor value is recommended?
The CB pin on the LM2672MX-ADJ/E7000820 connects to the VSW node through a bootstrap capacitor that supplies gate drive voltage above VIN to fully enhance the internal high-side DMOS switch. TI recommends a 0.01-μF (10 nF), 50-V ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to the CB and VSW pins to ensure low-loss switching and sustained 90%+ efficiency.
How does the soft-start function work on the LM2672MX-ADJ/E7000820, and how is it configured?
The LM2672MX-ADJ/E7000820 implements soft-start by charging an external capacitor connected between the SS pin and GND. The internal 4.5-μA current source ramps the SS voltage, which controls the PWM duty cycle ramp rate. A typical 100-nF capacitor yields ~22-ms startup time; leaving SS open disables soft-start entirely.
What protection features are built into the LM2672MX-ADJ/E7000820, and how do they operate?
The LM2672MX-ADJ/E7000820 integrates cycle-by-cycle current limiting (1.25–2.1 A), thermal shutdown (>150°C junction), and under-voltage lockout. During overload, the switch turns off immediately upon current threshold crossing; during overtemperature, internal thermal sensing disables switching until safe junction temperature is restored.
