Product details
Overview
LM2675N-12 from Texas Instruments is a monolithic step-down (buck) DC-DC switching regulator delivering 1A output current with fixed 12V output, ±1.5% output voltage tolerance, 260kHz fixed-frequency operation, and up to 94% efficiency at 24V input. It integrates a DMOS power MOSFET switch and internal frequency compensation for compact, high-efficiency power conversion in industrial and embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM2675N-12 datasheet, LM2675N-12 pinout, LM2675N-12 application, or LM2675N-12 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 8V–40V input range, thermal shutdown protection, TTL-compatible ON/OFF control, and minimal external component count (5 total) enabling rapid implementation of stable 12V supply rails.
Technical Context
The LM2675N-12 implements a synchronous-free buck topology using an integrated high-side DMOS FET switch with 0.3Ω typical RDS(ON), driven by a fixed 260kHz oscillator. Its feedback loop regulates output by comparing FB pin voltage to a precise 1.21V internal reference-though for the fixed-12V variant, FB is shorted directly to VOUT, eliminating external resistors.
Operation includes active mode (ON/OFF ≥ 1.4V), low-power shutdown mode (ISTBY ≤ 100μA), cycle-by-cycle current limiting (1.25–2.1A), and thermal shutdown. Frequency foldback activates under extreme overload to reduce switching frequency below 100kHz, preventing device damage during sustained short-circuit conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 12V ±1.5% over line/load/temperature - ensures stable rail for logic, analog, or interface ICs without trimming. |
| Input Voltage Range | 8V to 40V - supports wide-input industrial supplies, battery-backed systems, and automotive-derived inputs. |
| Max Output Current | 1A continuous - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, or small FPGA I/O banks. |
| Switching Frequency | 260kHz fixed - enables use of compact 22–68μH inductors and reduces EMI compared to lower-frequency alternatives. |
| Efficiency | Up to 94% at VIN=24V, IOUT=1A - minimizes heat generation; PCB copper traces serve as sole heatsink. |
| Quiescent Current | 3.6mA typical in active mode; 100μA max in shutdown - supports low-power standby states. |
| Protection Features | Thermal shutdown, cycle-by-cycle current limit, and frequency foldback - provide robust fault recovery without external circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
LM2675N-12 is supplied in an 8-pin PDIP (P) package (9.81mm × 9.43mm), with exposed pad grounded for thermal performance. Pin functions are validated per TI SNVS129G Rev JUNE 2025.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 CB | Bootstrap capacitor connection | Connects 470nF ceramic capacitor between CB and VSW to drive high-side FET gate above VIN. |
| 2 NC | No connect | Not internally bonded; must remain unconnected and unrouted on PCB. |
| 3 NC | No connect | Not internally bonded; must remain unconnected and unrouted on PCB. |
| 4 FB | Feedback sense input | Internally tied to output for fixed-12V version; no external divider required. |
| 5 ON/OFF | Enable control input | TTL-compatible; ≥1.4V enables regulation, ≤0.8V disables with ≤100μA standby current. |
| 6 GND | Power ground | Main return path for input/output capacitors and inductor; shortest possible trace to minimize noise. |
| 7 VIN | Input supply | Accepts 8–40V DC; requires local 22μF tantalum bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| 8 VSW | Switch node | Drives external inductor and Schottky catch diode; high dv/dt node requiring tight layout. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2675M-12 | Same electrical specs; SOIC-8 package (4.9mm × 6mm) instead of PDIP-8 - smaller footprint, better thermal resistance (RθJA = 105°C/W vs 95°C/W). | Preferred for space-constrained PCBs; requires rework of solder mask and stencil but identical schematic. | Select when board area is limited and surface-mount assembly is available. |
| LM2575H-12 | Higher 63V absolute max input, 52kHz switching frequency, 3A output capability - larger magnetics, lower efficiency (~88%), wider VOUT tolerance (±4%). | Suitable for high-input-voltage or higher-current legacy designs; not pin-compatible; requires full redesign. | Choose only if >40V input or >1A load is required - otherwise LM2675N-12 offers superior efficiency and size. |
Compared with LM2675M-12, the LM2675N-12 trades board space for easier hand-soldering and prototyping; versus LM2575H-12, it delivers tighter regulation, higher efficiency, and faster transient response at the cost of lower max input voltage and output current.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM2675N-12?
The LM2675N-12 has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 45V, with recommended operating range from 8V to 40V. Exceeding 40V continuously risks exceeding thermal limits or triggering protection circuits; operation above 45V may cause permanent damage per TI SNVS129G Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Does LM2675N-12 require external feedback resistors?
No. The LM2675N-12 is the fixed 12V output variant; its FB pin is internally connected to the output stage, eliminating the need for external resistor dividers. This simplifies layout, improves regulation accuracy, and removes resistor tolerance errors that affect adjustable versions.
Can LM2675N-12 be used in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM)?
Yes. The LM2675N-12 operates in both continuous and discontinuous conduction modes depending on load, inductance, and input voltage. At light loads (<300mA with typical 47μH inductor), it naturally transitions to DCM, reducing switching losses and improving light-load efficiency - verified in Figure 5-16 of the LM2675N-12 datasheet.
What thermal considerations apply to LM2675N-12 in PDIP package?
The LM2675N-12 in PDIP (P) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 95°C/W on a standard 4-layer JEDEC board. To maintain TJ < 125°C at 1A load, keep ambient temperature below 60°C or add copper pour and thermal vias under the GND and DAP pads - per TI AN-1187 guidelines for leadless packages (not applicable here, but grounding best practices still apply).
Is LM2675N-12 RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes. LM2675N-12 is manufactured in compliance with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and TI's corporate halogen-free policy. Full material declarations and compliance documentation are available via TI's Quality & Environmental Information portal using the LM2675N-12 part number.
