Product details
Overview
LM2675N-12/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a monolithic step-down (buck) DC-DC switching regulator IC 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/NOPB datasheet, LM2675N-12/NOPB pinout, LM2675N-12/NOPB application, or LM2675N-12/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 8-pin PDIP package, 6.5–40V input range, thermal shutdown protection, TTL-compatible ON/OFF control, and minimal external component count (5 total).
Technical Context
The LM2675N-12/NOPB implements a synchronous-free buck topology using an integrated high-side DMOS FET switch with 0.3Ω typical RDS(ON), driven by a 260kHz internal 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.
It operates in continuous conduction mode up to 1A load, features cycle-by-cycle current limiting (1.25–2.1A), thermal shutdown, and enters low-power standby (<100μA) when ON/OFF pin voltage drops below 1.4V. The device requires no external compensation due to patented internal frequency compensation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 12V ±1.5% over line/load/temperature - ensures stable rail for analog circuitry or logic without trimming. |
| Input Voltage Range | 6.5V to 40V - supports wide-input industrial supplies, battery-backed systems, and automotive nominal 12V/24V rails. |
| Max Output Current | 1A continuous - sufficient to power microcontrollers, sensors, and peripheral ICs without external boost stages. |
| Switching Frequency | 260kHz fixed - enables use of small, low-ESR ceramic capacitors and compact 22–68μH inductors; avoids audible noise. |
| Efficiency | 94% at VIN=24V, IOUT=1A - minimizes thermal load; PCB copper traces serve as sole heatsink under typical conditions. |
| Quiescent Current | 3.6mA active, 100μA standby - enables low-power sleep modes in battery-operated equipment. |
| Protection Features | Thermal shutdown, cycle-by-cycle current limit, and undervoltage lockout - prevents damage during overload, short-circuit, or brownout. |
Pinout & Package
LM2675N-12/NOPB uses the 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 |
|---|---|---|
| CB (Pin 1) | Bootstrap capacitor connection | Connects 470nF capacitor to VSW to gate-drive the internal high-side DMOS FET; critical for proper switch turn-on. |
| NC (Pins 2,3) | No-connect | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or grounded per layout best practice-no routing or loading. |
| FB (Pin 4) | Feedback sense input | Internally tied to output for fixed-12V version; not used externally-shorting to VOUT closes regulation loop. |
| ON/OFF (Pin 5) | Enable control input | TTL-compatible digital input; ≥1.4V enables regulation, <0.8V disables output and reduces IQ to ≤100μA. |
| VIN (Pin 7) | Main power input | Accepts 6.5–40V DC; requires local 22μF tantalum bypass capacitor with short, low-inductance path to GND. |
| VSW (Pin 8) | Switch node output | Drives external catch diode and inductor; high dv/dt node requiring tight layout and ground plane shielding. |
| GND (Pin 6) | Power ground | Main return path for VIN, CIN, COUT, and VSW loop; must connect to system ground with minimal impedance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated DMOS power switch | Eliminates need for external high-side MOSFET and driver, reducing BOM count and layout complexity. |
| Patented internal frequency compensation | Enables stable operation with only 5 external components-no loop compensation design required. |
| Fixed-frequency 260kHz oscillator | Ensures predictable EMI profile and simplifies filter design versus variable-frequency alternatives. |
| TTL-compatible enable input | Allows direct interfacing with microcontroller GPIOs without level-shifting or pull-up resistors. |
| Thermal shutdown + current limit | Provides autonomous fault recovery-device resumes regulation after cooling or load reduction. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2575H-12 | 52kHz switching frequency, higher RDS(ON) (0.4Ω), lower efficiency (~85%), larger magnetics required. | Better suited for cost-sensitive, low-EMI designs where size and thermal performance are secondary. | Select when legacy compatibility or lower EMI is prioritized over efficiency and footprint. |
| TPS54202D | 2MHz switching, integrated high/low-side FETs, adjustable output, smaller 8-pin SOIC package, but requires external compensation. | Ideal for space-constrained designs needing adjustable output or faster transient response. | Choose for modern, compact designs requiring flexibility-requires additional design effort vs. LM2675N-12/NOPB's simplicity. |
Compared with LM2675N-12/NOPB, LM2575H-12 trades efficiency and size for lower EMI and legacy support, while TPS54202D offers higher integration and frequency at the cost of design complexity and loss of fixed-output simplicity.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM2675N-12/NOPB?
The LM2675N-12/NOPB has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 45V, with recommended operating range from 6.5V to 40V. Exceeding 40V may trigger internal protection or reduce reliability; operation at 40V is validated for continuous duty in the 12V output configuration per TI SNVS129G.
Does LM2675N-12/NOPB require external feedback resistors?
No. The LM2675N-12/NOPB is a fixed-output variant: its feedback pin (FB) is internally configured for 12V regulation, and the datasheet specifies direct connection of FB to VOUT. External resistors are unnecessary and would disrupt regulation-only required for the adjustable-version LM2675MX-ADJ.
What package type does LM2675N-12/NOPB use, and is thermal pad connection required?
LM2675N-12/NOPB uses the 8-pin PDIP (P) package (9.81mm × 9.43mm). Unlike the WSON variant, the PDIP package has no exposed thermal pad; thermal performance relies on PCB copper area connected to Pin 6 (GND). No DAP connection is needed or present.
Can LM2675N-12/NOPB be synchronized to an external clock?
No. The LM2675N-12/NOPB uses an internal fixed-frequency 260kHz oscillator with no synchronization input. Frequency cannot be adjusted or locked to an external source-this is a deliberate design choice to simplify layout and ensure stability without external timing components.
What is the typical standby current of LM2675N-12/NOPB in shutdown mode?
The LM2675N-12/NOPB draws ≤100μA standby current when the ON/OFF pin is pulled below 0.8V (TJ = –40°C to 125°C), with typical value of 50μA at 25°C. This ultra-low quiescent current supports battery-backed systems requiring multi-year shelf life or low-power sleep states.
