Product details
Overview
LM2676SDX-ADJ 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 to 37V), 260kHz fixed-frequency operation, ±2% output voltage tolerance over line/load/temperature, 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 LM2676SDX-ADJ datasheet, LM2676SDX-ADJ pinout, LM2676SDX-ADJ application, or LM2676SDX-ADJ equivalent, key selection criteria include its adjustable feedback architecture, TO-263-7 (KTW) package thermal performance, 50µA standby current, and compatibility with standard off-the-shelf inductors and Schottky diodes in buck topologies.
Technical Context
The LM2676SDX-ADJ implements a voltage-mode PWM controller with a fixed 260kHz oscillator and internal high-side DMOS FET. Its feedback loop senses output voltage via an external resistor divider connected to the FB pin, enabling precise regulation across 1.2V–37V. The device operates in continuous conduction mode (CCM) at full load and transitions to discontinuous mode (DCM) under light loads.
It features integrated protection including current-limiting (3.6A–5.4A over temperature), thermal shutdown, and undervoltage lockout. The ON/OFF pin provides logic-level enable control with 0.8V–2.0V threshold and 20µA input bias, while the CB pin supports bootstrap gate drive for efficient high-side switching.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | Up to 3A continuous - supports industrial loads such as motor drivers and communication modules without external current boosting. |
| Input Voltage Range | 8V to 40V - compatible with 12V/24V industrial rails and wide-range unregulated supplies. |
| Output Voltage Range | Adjustable from 1.2V to 37V via external resistor divider - enables flexible system-level rail generation. |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 1.21V ±1.2% - sets output accuracy; combined with external resistors determines final VOUT tolerance. |
| Switching Frequency | 260kHz ±11% - enables use of compact, low-cost magnetics and reduces EMI compared to higher-frequency alternatives. |
| RDS(ON) | 0.15Ω typical - minimizes conduction loss and supports >90% efficiency at 3A (e.g., 88% at 12VIN/5VOUT). |
| Standby Current | 50µA max - allows ultra-low-power shutdown in battery-backed or energy-sensitive systems. |
Pinout & Package
LM2676SDX-ADJ is supplied in the KTW (TO-263-7) package: thermally enhanced 7-pin surface-mount variant with exposed DAP (die attach pad) tied to GND, measuring 10.1mm × 15.24mm. The DAP must be soldered to a PCB ground plane for optimal thermal performance (RθJA ≈ 35°C/W with 0.4896 in² copper).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SW) | Switch Output | High-side DMOS drain node - connects directly to inductor and cathode of external Schottky diode; switches between VIN and ~–0.5V during OFF time. |
| 2 (VIN) | Input Supply | Main power input - requires low-ESR bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin; path to GND must be minimal inductance. |
| 3 (CB) | Bootstrap Capacitor | Connects to SW via 100nF ceramic capacitor - generates gate drive voltage >VIN to fully enhance internal MOSFET. |
| 4 (GND) | Power Ground | Primary return path for input/output capacitors and IC substrate - must be tied to large copper area and DAP. |
| 5 (NC) | No Connect | Internally unused - must remain floating; no routing or thermal connection required. |
| 6 (FB) | Feedback Input | Senses output voltage via resistor divider - sets regulated VOUT = 1.21V × (1 + R1/R2); high-impedance (85nA bias) for minimal divider loading. |
| 7 (ON/OFF) | Enable Control | Logic-level shutdown input - <0.8V disables regulator (50µA IQ); >1.4V enables switching; internal 20µA pull-up allows open-circuit operation. |
Key Features

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2596SX-ADJ | Lower 1.5A output current, 150kHz switching frequency, higher RDS(ON) (~0.22Ω), wider VOUT adjust range (1.2V–37V) | Better suited for lower-power, cost-sensitive designs where thermal headroom is limited | Select when 3A peak load is not required and board space allows larger inductors due to lower frequency. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current supported by the LM2676SDX-ADJ?
The LM2676SDX-ADJ delivers up to 3A of continuous output current under proper thermal conditions - verified across –40°C to 125°C junction temperature with adequate PCB copper area. Peak current limit is 3.6A–5.4A depending on temperature, and sustained 3A operation requires the KTW package mounted on ≥0.4896 in² of 1 oz copper for thermal reliability. Derating applies above 85°C ambient.
How does the feedback pin (FB) function in the LM2676SDX-ADJ?
The FB pin of the LM2676SDX-ADJ senses the output voltage through an external resistor divider and compares it to an internal 1.21V reference. Regulation is achieved by adjusting the duty cycle to maintain VFB = 1.21V, so VOUT = 1.21V × (1 + R1/R2). The pin draws only 85nA bias current, minimizing divider power loss and enabling high-resistance networks for low quiescent current designs.
Can the LM2676SDX-ADJ operate with an input voltage below 8V?
No - the LM2676SDX-ADJ has a specified minimum input voltage of 8V per its Recommended Operating Conditions. Operation below 8V may result in dropout, unstable regulation, or failure to start. The absolute maximum rating is 45V, and the device includes undervoltage lockout that disables switching until VIN exceeds ~7.5V. For sub-8V inputs, consider alternative regulators such as the LM2596 or TPS5430.
What package type is used for the LM2676SDX-ADJ, and why does it matter?
The LM2676SDX-ADJ uses the KTW (TO-263-7) package - a thermally enhanced surface-mount variant with an exposed die attach pad (DAP) tied to GND. This package achieves RθJA ≈ 35°C/W with 0.4896 in² copper, significantly better than TO-220 alternatives. Proper DAP soldering to a ground plane is essential for thermal performance and long-term reliability at 3A loads.
Does the LM2676SDX-ADJ require an external Schottky diode, and what are the key selection criteria?
Yes - the LM2676SDX-ADJ requires an external Schottky diode connected from SW (pin 1) to GND. Key selection criteria include: average forward current ≥3A, peak repetitive reverse voltage ≥VIN(max), low forward voltage (<0.5V at 3A) to minimize loss, and fast recovery (<100ns). Recommended types include SS34, SB540, or equivalent; placement must minimize loop area to reduce EMI and voltage spikes.
