Product details
Overview
LM2674M-5.0/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a monolithic non-synchronous step-down DC-DC converter delivering 500mA at fixed 5.0V output, with 8V–40V input range, 260kHz fixed-frequency operation, ±1.5% output voltage tolerance, and integrated 0.25Ω DMOS switch. It serves as a primary power stage in industrial power supplies requiring compact, high-efficiency regulation.
For engineers reviewing the LM2674M-5.0/NOPB datasheet, LM2674M-5.0/NOPB pinout, LM2674M-5.0/NOPB application, or LM2674M-5.0/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage headroom, thermal performance in SOIC-8, shutdown current (50μA), efficiency at 500mA load, and compatibility with standard off-the-shelf inductors and Schottky diodes.
Technical Context
The LM2674M-5.0/NOPB implements a voltage-mode control architecture with internal frequency compensation and a fixed 260kHz oscillator. Its feedback loop regulates output by comparing FB pin voltage to an internal 1.21V reference-though for this fixed 5.0V variant, FB is internally tied to output, eliminating external resistor dividers.
It integrates a high-side DMOS switch with current limiting and thermal shutdown, operates in active mode when ON/OFF ≥1.4V, and enters low-power shutdown (<100μA) when ON/OFF <0.8V. The bootstrap capacitor (CB) enables gate drive for the high-side switch, requiring a 10nF ceramic capacitor between CB and VSW.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0V ±1.5% over line, load, and temperature (–40°C to 125°C) |
| Max Output Current | 500mA DC continuous; current limit threshold 0.62–1.2A (temp-dependent) |
| Input Voltage Range | 6.5V to 40V - supports 12V/24V industrial rails and battery-backed systems |
| Switching Frequency | 260kHz fixed - enables use of compact 22–68μH inductors and reduces EMI filtering burden |
| Efficiency | 90% typical at VIN=12V, IOUT=500mA - minimizes board-level heat sinking |
| RDS(ON) | 0.25Ω typical at 25°C - limits conduction loss in high-side switch |
| Quiescent Current | 3.6mA typical in active mode; 50μA standby in shutdown - supports low-power sleep states |
Pinout & Package
LM2674M-5.0/NOPB is packaged in an 8-pin SOIC (D package), 4.9mm × 6mm body, with exposed pad not present (unlike WSON). Thermal performance relies on PCB copper area adjacent to GND pins.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (CB) | Bootstrap capacitor connection | Connects 10nF ceramic cap to VSW; enables high-side gate drive voltage above VIN |
| 2, 3 (NC) | No-connect | Must remain unconnected; no internal circuitry or bond wire attached |
| 4 (FB) | Feedback input | Internally connected to output for fixed 5.0V version; no external divider required |
| 5 (ON/OFF) | Enable control input | TTL-compatible; ≥1.4V = active, ≤0.8V = shutdown; internal pull-up allows floating-for-always-on |
| 6 (GND) | Power ground | Main return path for input/output capacitors and IC substrate; shortest possible trace to CIN |
| 7 (VIN) | Input supply | Accepts 6.5–40V; requires local high-frequency bypass capacitor (e.g., 22μF tantalum + 0.1μF ceramic) |
| 8 (VSW) | Switch node | Drain of internal DMOS; connects to inductor and Schottky diode cathode - high dv/dt node requiring tight layout |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed-output simplicity | 5.0V version eliminates feedback resistors and associated layout sensitivity - reduces BOM count to 5 external parts |
| Thermal protection | Integrated thermal shutdown activates at ~150°C junction temperature - prevents damage during overload or poor heatsinking |
| Low-standby power | 50μA shutdown current enables battery-powered applications with extended sleep duration without significant drain |
| Robust fault handling | Combined cycle-by-cycle current limiting and frequency foldback under short-circuit - protects switch and external components |
| SOIC-8 manufacturability | Standard 8-pin SOIC footprint supports automated assembly and rework; compatible with IPC-7351B land patterns |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM2674M-5.0/NOPB?
The LM2674M-5.0/NOPB has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 45V, with recommended operating range from 6.5V to 40V. Operation beyond 40V risks exceeding safe operating area limits and may trigger internal protection circuits. For automotive applications with load dump transients, ensure input filtering clamps voltage below 45V before the VIN pin.
Does LM2674M-5.0/NOPB require external feedback resistors?
No. The LM2674M-5.0/NOPB is a fixed 5.0V output variant - its internal feedback network is pre-configured, and the FB pin is internally connected to the output. External resistors are unnecessary and must not be added, as they would disrupt regulation. Only the adjustable version (e.g., LM2674MX-ADJ) requires an external resistor divider.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of LM2674M-5.0/NOPB in SOIC-8 package?
The LM2674M-5.0/NOPB in SOIC-8 (D package) has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 105°C/W under standard JEDEC test conditions (1 in² copper pad). Actual thermal performance improves significantly with additional PCB copper area and thermal vias connected to the GND pins - typical designs achieve <60°C/W with 2–3 cm² of 2-oz copper.
Can LM2674M-5.0/NOPB be used in synchronous rectification configurations?
No. The LM2674M-5.0/NOPB is a non-synchronous buck controller with an integrated high-side DMOS switch and requires an external Schottky catch diode. It does not support synchronous rectification - no gate drive signal is provided for a low-side MOSFET. For synchronous operation, consider TI's TPS54302 or LM2677 families instead.
What is the minimum recommended output capacitor for LM2674M-5.0/NOPB?
TI specifies a minimum 47μF output capacitor for the LM2674M-5.0/NOPB in typical 5V applications (e.g., VIN=12V, IOUT=500mA), using low-ESR tantalum or polymer types. Smaller values risk excessive output ripple (>100mVpp) and instability; larger values (e.g., 100–150μF) improve transient response and reduce ripple further, especially under dynamic load steps.
