Product details
Overview
LM2676SDX-12/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a monolithic step-down (buck) DC-DC switching regulator delivering up to 3A output current with fixed 12V output, 8–40V input range, 260kHz fixed-frequency operation, and ±2% output voltage tolerance over –40°C to 125°C junction temperature - used in industrial power supplies requiring high-efficiency, thermally robust regulation.
For engineers reviewing the LM2676SDX-12/NOPB datasheet, LM2676SDX-12/NOPB pinout, LM2676SDX-12/NOPB application, or LM2676SDX-12/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 150mΩ internal DMOS switch, 50µA shutdown quiescent current, thermal shutdown protection, ON/OFF control interface, and compatibility with standard off-the-shelf inductors and Schottky diodes.
Technical Context
The LM2676SDX-12/NOPB integrates a high-side DMOS power switch, PWM controller with fixed 260kHz oscillator, internal feedback amplifier, and thermal/current protection circuitry - operating in continuous conduction mode with duty cycle determined by VIN/VOUT ratio. Its bootstrap gate drive (CB pin) enables full enhancement of the internal FET for low RDS(ON) conduction.
It supports active-mode regulation and shutdown mode via the ON/OFF pin (1.4V threshold), delivers 94% peak efficiency at 24VIN/12VOUT/3A, and maintains ±2% output accuracy across line, load, and temperature - with built-in current limiting (3.6–5.4A) and thermal shutdown.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 12V ±2% over full line/load/temperature - ensures stable rail for downstream logic or analog circuitry without external resistor network. |
| Input Voltage Range | 8V to 40V - supports wide industrial input sources including 12V/24V/36V battery or unregulated DC bus systems. |
| Max Output Current | 3A continuous - sufficient for powering FPGA I/O banks, motor drivers, or multi-rail subsystems with margin. |
| Switching Frequency | 260kHz ±11% - enables use of compact, low-cost off-the-shelf inductors (e.g., 33µH) and reduces EMI compared to higher-frequency alternatives. |
| RDS(ON) | 0.15Ω typical - minimizes conduction loss and heat generation at 3A, supporting >90% efficiency without forced airflow. |
| Quiescent Current | 50µA in shutdown - enables ultra-low-power standby states in battery-backed or energy-conscious systems. |
| Operating Junction Temp | –40°C to 125°C - qualified for harsh environments including industrial controls, metering, and motor drives. |
Pinout & Package
LM2676SDX-12/NOPB uses the KTW (TO-263-7) package: 10.1mm × 15.24mm thermally enhanced surface-mount outline with exposed tab for PCB copper thermal relief.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SW) | Switch output | High-side DMOS drain node - connects directly to inductor and Schottky cathode; switches between VIN and ~–0.4V during OFF state. |
| 2 (VIN) | Input supply | Main power input (8–40V); requires low-ESR bypass capacitor placed within 5mm for stability and EMI suppression. |
| 3 (CB) | Bootstrap capacitor | Connects to SW via 100nF ceramic capacitor - provides gate drive voltage above VIN to fully enhance internal FET. |
| 4 (GND) | Power ground | Primary return path for input/output capacitors and IC substrate; must tie to large copper pour for thermal and noise control. |
| 5 (NC) | No connect | Internally unconnected - leave floating; no routing or soldering required. |
| 6 (FB) | Feedback sense | Internally tied to 12V divider - shorted directly to output capacitor for fixed 12V operation; no external resistors needed. |
| 7 (ON/OFF) | Enable control | Logic-level input (1.4V threshold); pull low or ground to enter 50µA shutdown - supports system-level power sequencing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 150mΩ DMOS switch | Eliminates need for external high-current MOSFET and driver, reducing BOM count and layout complexity. |
| Fixed 12V output configuration | Removes feedback resistor selection error and drift - guarantees ±2% output accuracy without calibration. |
| 260kHz fixed-frequency PWM | Enables predictable EMI filtering and consistent inductor sizing across designs using TI-recommended parts. |
| Thermal shutdown + current limit | Protects against overload, short-circuit, or inadequate heatsinking - latches off until reset via ON/OFF pin toggle. |
| WEBENCH® Power Designer support | Generates complete schematics, bill-of-materials, efficiency plots, and thermal simulations directly from TI's online tool. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2675SDX-12/NOPB | 2.5A max output current, same 260kHz frequency and 12V fixed output - lower current rating and reduced thermal capability. | Suitable only for <2A loads; cannot replace LM2676SDX-12/NOPB in 3A applications without derating or redesign. | Select when load current is consistently ≤2A and board space/thermal budget is constrained. |
| LMR51430RGER | 3A synchronous buck with 4.5–36V input, 500kHz/1.1MHz selectable frequency, and integrated high/low-side FETs - no external diode required. | Higher efficiency at light loads due to synchronous rectification; requires different compensation and layout vs. LM2676SDX-12/NOPB. | Choose for new designs targeting >95% efficiency, smaller solution size, or wider input range below 8V. |
Compared with LM2676SDX-12/NOPB, LM2675SDX-12/NOPB offers identical pinout and features but reduced current capacity, while LMR51430RGER improves efficiency and integration at the cost of design compatibility and external component count reduction.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM2676SDX-12/NOPB?
The absolute maximum input voltage for LM2676SDX-12/NOPB is 45V, but the recommended operating range is 8V to 40V. Exceeding 40V may trigger internal protection or reduce reliability; sustained operation above this limit is not advised per TI's datasheet SNVS031N Section 5.1.
Does LM2676SDX-12/NOPB require an external feedback resistor network?
No - LM2676SDX-12/NOPB is the fixed 12V output variant, so internal feedback resistors set the output voltage. Pin 6 (FB) must be connected directly to the output capacitor; no external resistors are needed or permitted for this version of the LM2676.
What thermal performance can be expected from LM2676SDX-12/NOPB in a standard PCB layout?
In a standard 4-layer PCB with 0.4896 in² of 1 oz copper connected to the KTW package tab, LM2676SDX-12/NOPB achieves RθJA ≈ 35°C/W. At 3A/12V output (36W input), this yields ~30°C rise above ambient - well within the –40°C to 125°C junction limit under typical industrial conditions.
Can LM2676SDX-12/NOPB be synchronized to an external clock?
No - LM2676SDX-12/NOPB uses an internal fixed-frequency 260kHz oscillator with ±11% tolerance and no external synchronization capability. For synchronizable alternatives, consider TI's TPS543x or LMR365 series, which support external clock injection.
Is LM2676SDX-12/NOPB pin-compatible with other LM2676 variants like the adjustable or 5V versions?
Yes - all LM2676 variants (including LM2676SDX-12/NOPB, LM2676SDX-5.0/NOPB, and LM2676SDX-ADJ/NOPB) share identical KTW (TO-263-7) pinout and package footprint. Only the FB pin connection differs: fixed versions short FB to VOUT, while the ADJ version requires external resistor divider.
