Product details
Overview
LM2676S-ADJ/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a monolithic step-down (buck) DC-DC switching regulator delivering up to 3A output current with adjustable output voltage (1.2V–37V), 260kHz fixed-frequency operation, and 8V–40V input range. It integrates a 150mΩ DMOS high-side switch and supports thermal shutdown, current limiting, and ON/OFF control - used in industrial power supplies requiring stable, high-efficiency conversion.
For engineers reviewing the LM2676S-ADJ/NOPB datasheet, LM2676S-ADJ/NOPB pinout, LM2676S-ADJ/NOPB application, or LM2676S-ADJ/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±2% output tolerance over line/load/temperature, 50µA standby current, 88% typical efficiency at 12VIN/3A, and TO-263-7 (KTW) package thermal performance.
Technical Context
The LM2676S-ADJ/NOPB implements a fixed-frequency PWM buck controller with internal 260kHz oscillator and integrated 150mΩ DMOS high-side switch. Its feedback loop senses output voltage via external resistor divider connected to FB pin, enabling precise 1.2V–37V regulation with ±2% tolerance across –40°C to 125°C junction temperature.
It operates in continuous conduction mode with 91% maximum duty cycle, features built-in current limit (3.6A–5.4A), thermal shutdown, and ON/OFF pin with 1.4V threshold. The CB pin drives the bootstrap circuit for high-side gate drive, while Switch_output (pin 1) delivers pulsed voltage to the external inductor and catch diode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output current | 3A max continuous - supports industrial loads without external current boosting. |
| Input voltage range | 8V to 40V - compatible with 12V/24V industrial rails and wide-input battery systems. |
| Output voltage range | 1.2V to 37V adjustable - set via external resistor divider on FB pin; enables single BOM for multiple output voltages. |
| Switching frequency | 260kHz fixed - enables use of compact off-the-shelf inductors and reduces EMI compared to lower frequencies. |
| Feedback reference voltage | 1.21V ±1.1% - determines output accuracy; sets VOUT = 1.21V × (1 + R1/R2). |
| Efficiency | 88% typical at 12VIN/3A/5VOUT - achieved via low RDS(ON) (150mΩ) DMOS switch and optimized control architecture. |
| Standby current | 50µA - enables ultra-low-power shutdown in battery-backed or energy-sensitive systems. |
| Thermal protection | Integrated thermal shutdown - disables output above safe junction temperature to prevent damage during overload or poor heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
LM2676S-ADJ/NOPB is packaged in TO-263-7 (KTW), a surface-mount power package with exposed thermal pad (DAP) soldered to PCB ground plane for optimal thermal dissipation (RθJA = 56°C/W with 0.136 in² copper). Pin 1 is Switch_output; pins 4 and 9 (DAP) are GND; pin 7 is ON/OFF enable.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Switch_output) | High-side switch drain node | Connects to inductor and cathode of external Schottky diode; carries high dv/dt switching waveform - requires short, low-inductance layout. |
| 2 (Input) | Main power input | Accepts 8V–40V supply; must be bypassed with low-ESR capacitor placed adjacent to pin to suppress input ripple and ringing. |
| 3 (CB) | Bootstrap capacitor connection | Connects 100nF ceramic capacitor to Switch_output (pin 1); provides gate drive voltage > VIN for full enhancement of internal DMOS switch. |
| 4 (GND) | Power ground | Primary ground return for input/output capacitors and IC substrate; must be tied directly to DAP (pin 9) and system ground plane. |
| 6 (FB) | Feedback sense input | High-impedance (85nA bias) input monitoring output voltage via resistor divider; determines regulated output per VFB = 1.21V. |
| 7 (ON/OFF) | Enable/disable control | Logic-level input: ≥1.4V enables regulation; ≤0.8V forces shutdown with 50µA quiescent draw; internal 20µA pull-up allows floating for always-on operation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2596S-ADJ | Lower 1.5A output current, 150kHz switching frequency, higher RDS(ON) (220mΩ), wider VIN (4.5–40V) | Suitable for <2A loads; less efficient at 3A; requires larger inductor due to lower frequency | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs current capability and efficiency requirements. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current supported by the LM2676S-ADJ/NOPB?
The LM2676S-ADJ/NOPB delivers up to 3A of continuous output current under recommended operating conditions (TJ ≤ 125°C, adequate PCB copper area). Current limit is internally set between 3.6A and 5.4A depending on temperature, with thermal shutdown engaging if junction temperature exceeds safe limits. Derating is required above 85°C ambient without forced airflow or enhanced heatsinking.
How do I configure the output voltage for the LM2676S-ADJ/NOPB?
The LM2676S-ADJ/NOPB uses an external resistor divider on the FB pin to set output voltage: VOUT = 1.21V × (1 + R1/R2), where R2 connects from FB to GND and R1 from VOUT to FB. For example, 1.21V output requires R2 = 10kΩ and R1 = 0Ω (direct connection); 12V output uses R1 = 89.8kΩ and R2 = 10kΩ. Layout must minimize noise pickup on the FB trace.
Does the LM2676S-ADJ/NOPB require an external catch diode?
Yes, the LM2676S-ADJ/NOPB requires an external Schottky diode connected from Switch_output (pin 1) to GND. This diode provides the freewheeling path for inductor current when the internal DMOS switch is OFF. TI recommends a 3A+ Schottky with VF ≤ 0.5V and low reverse recovery - such as SB560 or MBR360 - placed adjacent to pin 1 with minimal trace length.
What is the purpose of the CB pin on the LM2676S-ADJ/NOPB?
The CB (bootstrap capacitor) pin on the LM2676S-ADJ/NOPB connects a 100nF ceramic capacitor between itself and Switch_output (pin 1). This capacitor charges during the low-side conduction phase and supplies gate drive voltage > VIN to fully enhance the internal high-side DMOS switch, ensuring low RDS(ON) and high efficiency. A low-ESR, X7R or C0G dielectric capacitor is mandatory.
Can the LM2676S-ADJ/NOPB operate with input voltage below 8V?
No - the LM2676S-ADJ/NOPB has a minimum recommended input voltage of 8V per datasheet Section 5.3. Operation below this violates absolute maximum ratings and may cause erratic regulation, dropout, or failure to start. The internal bias circuitry and DMOS switch threshold require ≥8V to ensure stable oscillation, proper gate drive, and guaranteed 3A output capability.
