Product details
Overview
LM2676SDX-5.0 from Texas Instruments is a monolithic step-down (buck) DC/DC switching regulator delivering up to 3 A output current with fixed 5.0 V output, 8–40 V input range, 260 kHz fixed-frequency operation, and ±2% output voltage tolerance over full line/load/temperature. It integrates a 150 mΩ DMOS high-side switch and supports ON/OFF control for low-power standby mode in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LM2676SDX-5.0 datasheet, LM2676SDX-5.0 pinout, LM2676SDX-5.0 application, or LM2676SDX-5.0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3 A continuous output capability, thermal performance in TO-263 (KTW) package, 50 µA shutdown quiescent current, and compatibility with standard off-the-shelf inductors and Schottky diodes per TI's SIMPLE SWITCHER® design methodology.
Technical Context
The LM2676SDX-5.0 implements a fixed-frequency PWM buck controller with internal 260 kHz oscillator and integrated 150 mΩ DMOS high-side switch. Its feedback loop uses a precision 1.21 V reference and high-gain amplifier referenced to the FB pin, enabling stable regulation without external compensation components in standard configurations.
It operates across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature, includes cycle-by-cycle current limiting, thermal shutdown, and an ON/OFF pin with 1.4 V threshold and 20 µA pull-up. The device enters shutdown at <0.8 V on ON/OFF, drawing only 50 µA supply current while maintaining fast wake-up response.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0 V ±2% over full line, load, and –40°C to 125°C junction temperature - ensures stable rail for microcontrollers and logic without external resistor divider. |
| Max Output Current | 3 A continuous - supports mid-power applications like motor drivers and communication modules without external current boosting. |
| Input Voltage Range | 8 V to 40 V - accommodates wide-input industrial and automotive-derived supplies, including unregulated 24 V systems. |
| Switching Frequency | 260 kHz ±11% - enables use of compact, off-the-shelf 33 µH inductors and reduces EMI compared to higher-frequency alternatives. |
| Efficiency | Up to 88% at 12 VIN/3 A - minimizes thermal load and simplifies heatsinking in enclosed enclosures. |
| Quiescent Current (Active) | 6 mA typical - maintains low no-load power draw in always-on subsystems. |
| Standby Current | 50 µA max at OFF state - enables energy-sensitive battery-backed or remote-sensor applications. |
| RDS(ON) | 0.15 Ω typical - reduces conduction loss and improves efficiency at high load currents. |
Pinout & Package
LM2676SDX-5.0 is packaged in a 7-pin TO-263 (KTW) surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad, measuring 10.1 mm × 15.24 mm. The package features integrated thermal path via the DAP (die attach paddle), requiring direct PCB copper connection for optimal thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SW) | Switch output | Drain node of internal DMOS FET; connects to inductor and cathode of external Schottky diode - must be routed with minimal loop area to reduce EMI and voltage spikes. |
| 2 (VIN) | Input supply | Main power input (8–40 V); requires low-ESR ceramic bypass capacitor placed within 5 mm - forms critical high-current path with GND pins. |
| 3 (CB) | Bootstrap capacitor | Connects to SW via 100 nF ceramic capacitor - provides gate drive voltage above VIN to fully enhance internal high-side FET and minimize RDS(ON). |
| 4 (GND) | Power ground | Primary return path for input/output capacitors and thermal pad - must be tied directly to large copper pour for thermal and noise control. |
| 5 (NC) | No connect | Internally unconnected; electrically isolated - may be left floating or tied to GND for mechanical stability only. |
| 6 (FB) | Feedback sense | Direct connection to output capacitor for fixed 5.0 V version - eliminates external resistors and associated tolerance/temperature drift errors. |
| 7 (ON/OFF) | Enable control | Logic-level enable: ≥1.4 V = active, ≤0.8 V = shutdown; internal 20 µA pull-up allows simple open-drain or microcontroller GPIO control. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 150 mΩ DMOS switch | Enables 3 A output without external MOSFETs or complex gate drive circuitry - reduces BOM count and layout complexity. |
| Fixed 5.0 V output with ±2% tolerance | Eliminates need for external feedback resistors and associated calibration - improves production yield and long-term stability. |
| 260 kHz fixed-frequency PWM | Allows predictable EMI filtering and consistent inductor sizing - avoids frequency jitter issues found in variable-frequency controllers. |
| 50 µA shutdown current | Supports ultra-low-power system sleep modes - extends battery life in portable or energy-harvested devices. |
| Built-in thermal shutdown & current limit | Provides autonomous fault protection without external sensing - prevents damage during overload or poor heatsinking conditions. |
| SIMPLE SWITCHER® design support | Validated inductor/capacitor/diode part lists and WEBENCH® Power Designer integration - cuts design time from weeks to hours. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2675MX-5.0 | 2.5 A output rating, same 5 V fixed output, identical pinout and package (SOIC-8), but lower current capability and reduced thermal margin. | Suitable for lower-power applications (<2 A) where board space constraints favor SOIC over TO-263. | Select when load current remains below 2.5 A and thermal budget permits smaller package footprint. |
| TPS54302DDAR | 3 A synchronous buck with integrated high/low-side FETs, 2.5–6 V input, 580 kHz switching, and 28 µA quiescent current - no external diode required. | Better suited for low-input-voltage systems (e.g., 5 V or 3.3 V rails) and ultra-low-IQ designs, but incompatible with 8–40 V input range. | Choose for new designs targeting <6 V input and highest efficiency at light loads; not a drop-in replacement for LM2676SDX-5.0. |
Compared with LM2676SDX-5.0, LM2675MX-5.0 offers identical functionality at reduced current capacity and thermal robustness, while TPS54302DDAR delivers superior light-load efficiency and integration but sacrifices input voltage range and direct pin compatibility - making LM2676SDX-5.0 the optimal choice for ruggedized 24 V industrial systems requiring proven reliability and wide-input operation.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM2676SDX-5.0?
The absolute maximum input voltage for LM2676SDX-5.0 is 45 V, but the recommended operating range is 8 V to 40 V DC. Exceeding 40 V continuously risks exceeding thermal limits or violating safe operating area margins, especially at high ambient temperatures. The 40 V upper limit ensures reliable operation across the full –40°C to 125°C junction temperature range with standard PCB copper heatsinking.
Does LM2676SDX-5.0 require an external Schottky diode?
Yes, LM2676SDX-5.0 requires an external Schottky diode connected between the SW pin (Pin 1) and GND. The internal DMOS switch is high-side only; the diode provides the freewheeling path during switch-off periods. TI recommends 3 A rated Schottky diodes with <0.5 V forward voltage, such as the SS34 or MBR340, to maintain high efficiency and minimize thermal stress.
Can LM2676SDX-5.0 be used in adjustable-output configurations?
No, LM2676SDX-5.0 is a fixed 5.0 V output variant and does not support adjustable output. Its FB pin is internally connected to the 5 V reference; connecting external resistors will not alter the output voltage. For adjustable operation, use the LM2676SX-ADJ variant, which has an open FB pin and requires external resistor divider to set VOUT from 1.2 V to 37 V.
What thermal performance can be expected from LM2676SDX-5.0 in TO-263 package?
In the KTW (TO-263) package with proper PCB copper heatsinking (≥1.0 in² 1 oz copper connected to the DAP), LM2676SDX-5.0 achieves a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 26°C/W. At 3 A output and 12 V input, typical power dissipation is ~0.9 W, resulting in ~23°C junction-to-ambient rise - well within the 125°C max junction limit even at 100°C ambient.
Is LM2676SDX-5.0 RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, LM2676SDX-5.0 is RoHS compliant and lead-free per TI's current manufacturing standards. The TO-263 (KTW) package uses matte tin lead finish and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL-3) requirements. Full compliance documentation, including material declarations and test reports, is available through TI's product folder and Aetrix Electronics' quality portal.
