Product details
Overview
LM2675N-ADJ from Texas Instruments is a monolithic step-down (buck) DC-DC switching regulator IC with adjustable output voltage (1.21 V to 37 V), 1 A continuous output current capability, 260 kHz fixed-frequency operation, ±1.5% output voltage tolerance over line and load, and 8 V to 40 V input range - used in industrial power supplies, embedded system rails, and point-of-load conversion.
For engineers reviewing the LM2675N-ADJ datasheet, LM2675N-ADJ pinout, LM2675N-ADJ application, or LM2675N-ADJ equivalent, key selection criteria include feedback reference accuracy (1.21 V), thermal shutdown protection, TTL-compatible enable control, bootstrap capacitor requirement, and compatibility with standard off-the-shelf inductors and Schottky diodes.
Technical Context
The LM2675N-ADJ integrates a DMOS high-side power switch, internal frequency compensation, and a 260 kHz oscillator to implement a complete synchronous-buck topology without external timing components. Its feedback loop regulates output by comparing FB pin voltage against an internal 1.21 V reference, requiring only two external resistors for voltage setting.
It operates in continuous conduction mode up to 1 A load, supports TTL-level ON/OFF control with 50 μA standby current, and includes cycle-by-cycle current limiting plus thermal shutdown. The device uses a bootstrap capacitor (CB) to drive the high-side FET gate, necessitating careful PCB layout for the CB–VSW node.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 1 A continuous - supports full-load operation without derating at 25°C ambient with minimal copper heatsinking. |
| Input Voltage Range | 8 V to 40 V - enables direct use with 12 V, 24 V, and 36 V industrial bus rails. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.21 V ±1.5% - sets output via resistor divider; enables precise 1.21–37 V adjustment with <0.1% divider error contribution. |
| Switching Frequency | 260 kHz ±10% - allows compact LC filter design; avoids audible noise and simplifies EMI filtering vs. lower-frequency regulators. |
| Efficiency | Up to 96% - reduces thermal load on PCB; eliminates need for dedicated heatsinks in most applications. |
| Quiescent Current | 3.6 mA typical - ensures low no-load power loss in always-on systems. |
| Standby Current | 50 μA typical - enables ultra-low-power shutdown for battery-backed subsystems. |
Pinout & Package
LM2675N-ADJ is supplied in an 8-pin PDIP (Plastic Dual In-line Package) with 9.81 mm × 9.43 mm footprint, through-hole mounting, and exposed pad not present. Thermal performance relies on PCB copper area connected to GND pins.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (CB) | Bootstrap capacitor connection | Connects 470 nF ceramic capacitor to VSW; critical for high-side FET gate drive - poor layout causes dropout or oscillation. |
| 4 (FB) | Feedback sense input | High-impedance input referenced to 1.21 V; connects midpoint of R1/R2 divider - trace must avoid noisy nodes to prevent regulation instability. |
| 5 (ON/OFF) | Enable control input | TTL-compatible logic input; ≥1.4 V enables regulation, ≤0.8 V disables with 50 μA standby - pull-up resistor required if microcontroller-driven. |
| 6 (GND) | Power ground | Main return path for input/output capacitors and inductor; must be low-inductance connection to minimize switching noise coupling. |
| 7 (VIN) | Input supply | Accepts 8–40 V DC; requires local 22 μF tantalum bypass capacitor placed within 5 mm - long traces cause input ripple and instability. |
| 8 (VSW) | Switch node | Drain of internal high-side MOSFET; connects to inductor and Schottky diode cathode - high dv/dt node requiring tight loop area to limit EMI. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated DMOS power switch | Eliminates external high-side MOSFET and driver; reduces BOM count and layout complexity for 1 A buck designs. |
| Patented internal frequency compensation | Enables stable operation with only 5 external components - no loop compensation calculations or external RC networks required. |

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-ADJ | 52 kHz switching frequency, 3 A output, larger external components required, higher quiescent current (5.5 mA). | Better suited for high-current, low-EMI, or cost-sensitive designs where board space is less constrained. | Select when >1 A load or lower switching frequency is preferred; not drop-in compatible due to different pinout and compensation. |
| TPS54202D | 2.5 V to 28 V input, 2 A output, 480 kHz frequency, integrated soft-start, smaller 8-pin SOIC package. | Ideal for space-constrained designs needing higher current and tighter transient response. | Choose for modern, compact layouts; requires updated feedback divider and layout - not pin-to-pin with LM2675N-ADJ. |
Compared with LM2675N-ADJ, LM2575H-ADJ trades higher current and lower frequency for larger magnetics and reduced efficiency, while TPS54202D offers double the current and faster regulation at the cost of greater design complexity and non-interchangeable packaging.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for stable operation of the LM2675N-ADJ?
The LM2675N-ADJ requires a minimum input voltage of 6.5 V under recommended operating conditions. Below this threshold, regulation cannot be maintained - especially when set for higher output voltages (e.g., >12 V) where duty cycle approaches 100%. For reliable startup and continuous operation, maintain VIN ≥ 8 V as specified in the absolute maximum ratings table. This ensures sufficient headroom for the internal control circuitry and high-side switch operation across temperature and load variations in the LM2675N-ADJ.
Can the LM2675N-ADJ be used in a synchronous rectification configuration?
No, the LM2675N-ADJ does not support synchronous rectification. It uses an internal DMOS high-side switch paired with an external Schottky diode for low-side conduction - the VSW pin is designed to drive the diode cathode, not a second MOSFET gate. Synchronous operation would require complementary low-side gate drive timing and dead-time control, which the LM2675N-ADJ lacks. For synchronous buck applications, consider TI's TPS54x02 or LM26420 families instead. The LM2675N-ADJ remains optimized for simplicity, cost, and reliability using proven diode-based topologies.
What is the purpose of the CB pin on the LM2675N-ADJ, and what capacitor value is recommended?
Pin 1 (CB) on the LM2675N-ADJ is the bootstrap capacitor connection for the high-side MOSFET gate driver. It provides the floating voltage needed to fully enhance the internal DMOS switch during each switching cycle. A 470 nF X7R ceramic capacitor rated for ≥16 V must be placed directly between CB and VSW pins with minimal trace length. Using a smaller value or high-ESR capacitor causes insufficient gate drive, leading to increased RDS(on), thermal stress, and potential dropout under load. This requirement is fundamental to proper operation of the LM2675N-ADJ and is explicitly defined in the Pin Functions table of the datasheet.
How does the LM2675N-ADJ handle overcurrent conditions, and is external current sensing needed?
The LM2675N-ADJ incorporates internal cycle-by-cycle current limiting with a typical threshold of 1.25 A at 25°C, rising to 2.2 A at 125°C. No external current-sense resistor or circuitry is required - the device monitors the high-side switch current directly. During overload, it terminates the ON-pulse immediately, then applies frequency foldback below 100 kHz under extreme short-circuit conditions to limit power dissipation. Thermal shutdown activates if junction temperature exceeds 150°C. These protections are fully integrated and active across the full operating range of the LM2675N-ADJ, eliminating need for external fault management.
Is the LM2675N-ADJ RoHS-compliant and suitable for lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes, the LM2675N-ADJ in PDIP (N) package is RoHS-compliant and rated for lead-free reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020. The PDIP package has a peak reflow temperature rating of 260°C for 10 seconds. TI's official packaging information confirms Pb-free finish and compliance with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. All LM2675N-ADJ units distributed by Aetrix Electronics carry full material declarations and certificate of compliance. This makes the LM2675N-ADJ suitable for new designs targeting environmental compliance and modern assembly processes without requiring special soldering profiles.
