Product details
Overview
LM2674LD-ADJ from Texas Instruments is a monolithic 500 mA step-down (buck) DC-DC switching regulator in 16-pin LLP package, featuring a fixed 260 kHz oscillator, internal DMOS switch with 0.25 Ω RDS(ON), and adjustable output voltage range of 1.21 V to 37 V. It delivers >90% efficiency across 8 V–40 V input, supports TTL shutdown, and is used in industrial power supplies requiring compact, high-efficiency regulation.
For engineers reviewing the LM2674LD-ADJ datasheet, LM2674LD-ADJ pinout, LM2674LD-ADJ application, or LM2674LD-ADJ equivalent, key selection criteria include feedback voltage tolerance (±1.5%), guaranteed 500 mA load current, thermal shutdown protection, 260 kHz fixed-frequency operation, and compatibility with standard off-the-shelf inductors and Schottky diodes.
Technical Context
The LM2674LD-ADJ implements a synchronous-buck topology using an integrated DMOS power switch and patented internal frequency compensation (U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,382,918 and 5,514,947). Its feedback loop references a precise 1.21 V internal bandgap, enabling stable output programming via external resistor divider.
It operates in continuous conduction mode (CCM) over full load range, features cycle-by-cycle current limiting, thermal shutdown at +150°C junction temperature, and standby quiescent current as low as 50 μA during shutdown-making it suitable for battery-backed or energy-sensitive systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | Guaranteed 500 mA continuous load capability without derating at TJ ≤ +125°C |
| Input Voltage Range | 6.5 V to 40 V - supports wide industrial input rails including 12 V, 24 V, and 36 V systems |
| Feedback Voltage | 1.21 V ±1.5% - sets output accuracy baseline; enables 1.21 V–37 V programmability with external resistors |
| Switching Frequency | 260 kHz ±10% - enables use of small, low-cost filter inductors and capacitors |
| Efficiency | Up to 90% at 12 VIN/5 VOUT/500 mA - minimizes board-level heat dissipation; copper traces suffice as heatsink |
| RDS(ON) | 0.25 Ω typical - reduces conduction loss in high-current buck stage |
| Shutdown Current | 50 μA typical - enables ultra-low-power standby in always-on systems |
Pinout & Package
LM2674LD-ADJ uses a 16-lead LLP (Leadless Leadframe Package), thermally enhanced surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad. Pin numbering follows top-view orientation per NSC Package Drawing LDA16A.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Power and signal ground reference | Common return path for switch, feedback, and control circuits; must connect to large PCB copper area for thermal management |
| VIN | Main input supply connection | Accepts 6.5 V–40 V DC; requires local 22 μF tantalum bypass capacitor near pin |
| VOUT | Regulated output node | Connects to output inductor and capacitor; carries high-frequency ripple current |
| SW | Internal switch drain terminal | Drives external catch diode and inductor; switches at 260 kHz with 0.25 Ω on-resistance |
| FB | Feedback input | Senses output via resistor divider; 1.21 V reference sets regulation point; bias current <85 nA minimizes divider error |
| ON/OFF | Enable/shutdown control | TTL-compatible; <0.8 V disables regulator (50 μA standby); >2.0 V enables; internally pulled up to 7 V |
| BOOST | Bootstrap capacitor connection | Supports gate drive of internal DMOS switch; requires 0.01 μF ceramic capacitor between BOOST and SW |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for stable operation of the LM2674LD-ADJ?
The LM2674LD-ADJ has a specified operating input voltage range of 6.5 V to 40 V. Below 6.5 V, the internal circuitry may not sustain regulation or switching action. For reliable startup and dropout margin, design with ≥7 V minimum input under worst-case conditions including line drop and ripple. The LM2674LD-ADJ maintains regulation down to this threshold while delivering full 500 mA load current.
How do I calculate the output voltage setting resistors for the LM2674LD-ADJ?
Use the formula VOUT = 1.21 V × (1 + R2/R1), where R1 connects FB to GND and R2 connects VOUT to FB. Select R1 between 240 Ω and 1.5 kΩ (1% metal film recommended); then solve for R2. For example, for 12 V output: R2 = R1 × (12/1.21 − 1) ≈ R1 × 8.91. With R1 = 1 kΩ, R2 = 8.91 kΩ → use 8.87 kΩ (1%). The LM2674LD-ADJ relies on this precise 1.21 V reference for accuracy.
Does the LM2674LD-ADJ require an external catch diode, and what type is recommended?
Yes, the LM2674LD-ADJ requires an external Schottky catch diode connected between SW and VOUT. Recommended types include IR 30WQ05F (50 V, 3.3 A) or equivalent 3 A–5 A, ≤50 V Schottky diodes with low forward voltage (<0.5 V) and fast recovery. The LM2674LD-ADJ does not integrate a synchronous rectifier, so diode selection directly impacts efficiency and thermal performance.
What is the thermal performance difference between the LM2674LD-ADJ (LLP) and LM2674M-ADJ (SO-8)?
The LM2674LD-ADJ in 16-pin LLP has significantly better thermal resistance than the SO-8 version: typical θJA is ~50°C/W with 1 in² copper, versus 105°C/W for the SO-8. This allows the LM2674LD-ADJ to sustain full 500 mA output at higher ambient temperatures without derating. The LLP's exposed thermal pad must be soldered to a solid copper plane for optimal performance - a key design requirement for the LM2674LD-ADJ.
Can the LM2674LD-ADJ be used in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM), and how does it affect regulation?
Yes, the LM2674LD-ADJ operates naturally in DCM at light loads (<100 mA), with no control loop instability. Regulation remains within ±1.5% over full line/load/temperature, as verified in Electrical Characteristics tables. DCM reduces light-load quiescent current and improves efficiency below ~15% load, but increases output voltage ripple slightly - a trade-off confirmed in the LM2674LD-ADJ's Typical Performance Characteristics curves.
