Product details
Overview
LM2677SD-12/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a monolithic 5A step-down (buck) DC/DC voltage regulator with fixed 12V output, 8V–40V input range, 260 kHz internal oscillator, 92% peak efficiency at 24VIN/5A, and integrated 100 mΩ DMOS power switch - used in high-efficiency pre-regulators for telecom power systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM2677SD-12/NOPB datasheet, LM2677SD-12/NOPB pinout, LM2677SD-12/NOPB application, or LM2677SD-12/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include ±2% output tolerance over line/load, ON/OFF control with 50 μA standby current, external sync capability (280–400 kHz), thermal shutdown, and current limiting - all critical for industrial and communications power designs.
Technical Context
The LM2677SD-12/NOPB implements a current-mode PWM buck controller with internal 260 kHz oscillator and adjustable external sync input (Pin 5). Its DMOS power switch delivers up to 5A continuous output with RDS(ON) = 0.12–0.225 Ω, enabling high-efficiency operation across 8V–40V input.
It features built-in thermal shutdown, cycle-by-cycle current limiting (6.1–8.75 A), ±2% output voltage tolerance (11.76–12.36 V), and ON/OFF control with 0.8–2.0 V threshold. The feedback pin (Pin 6) connects directly to output for fixed-voltage regulation - no external resistors required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 12 V ±2% (11.76–12.36 V) - ensures stable rail for downstream logic or analog circuitry without feedback divider. |
| Input Voltage Range | 8 V to 40 V - supports wide-range industrial and automotive battery-fed inputs, including 24 V nominal systems. |
| Max Output Current | 5 A continuous - sufficient for powering FPGAs, DSPs, or multi-rail subsystems with single-stage conversion. |
| Peak Efficiency | 92% at VIN = 24 V, IOUT = 5 A - minimizes thermal load and enables compact heatsink-free designs in ambient ≤85°C. |
| Switch RDS(ON) | 0.12–0.225 Ω - reduces conduction loss and improves light-load efficiency vs. discrete MOSFET solutions. |
| Standby Current | 50 μA when ON/OFF pin < 0.8 V - enables low-power sleep modes in battery-backed or energy-conscious systems. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 260 kHz (internal) or 280–400 kHz (external sync) - allows EMI-controlled layout and consistent ripple filtering in noise-sensitive RF applications. |
Pinout & Package
LM2677SD-12/NOPB uses the 7-lead DDPAK/TO-263 (KTW) package with exposed thermal pad (DAP), optimized for high-current thermal dissipation on PCB copper areas ≥0.136 in².
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 2) | Input supply connection | Accepts 8–40 V unregulated input; requires local 0.1–0.47 μF ceramic + bulk capacitor for transient suppression. |
| VSW (Pin 1) | Switch node | Drives external catch diode and inductor; swings from VIN to ~−0.5 V during off-time - must be routed with minimal loop area. |
| CBOOST (Pin 3) | Bootstrap capacitor terminal | Connects to 0.01 μF/50 V ceramic cap between Pin 3 and Pin 1 - enables full gate drive for low RDS(ON). |
| GND (Pin 4) | Power ground reference | Common return for internal circuitry, switch, and feedback; requires low-impedance plane tied to DAP for thermal and EMI control. |
| SYNC (Pin 5) | External clock input | Accepts TTL/CMOS sync signal (280–400 kHz); AC-coupled via 100 pF + 1 kΩ to GND - enables precise ripple frequency positioning. |
| FB (Pin 6) | Feedback input | Internally biased to 1.21 V; direct connection to 12 V output sets regulation - no external resistors needed for fixed version. |
| ON/OFF (Pin 7) | Enable/disable control | Logic-level input: <0.8 V disables regulator (50 μA IQ); >2.0 V enables - supports system-level power sequencing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 100 mΩ DMOS switch | Eliminates need for external high-side MOSFET and driver, reducing BOM count and layout complexity in 5A buck designs. |
| ±2% output tolerance over line/load/temp | Guarantees stable 12 V rail without post-regulation for sensitive analog or digital loads - verified across −40°C to +125°C. |
| External sync capability (280–400 kHz) | Enables deterministic EMI spectrum placement and synchronized ripple across multiple rails in multi-converter systems. |
| Thermal shutdown + current limiting | Protects against sustained overload or short-circuit faults without external sensing components - self-recovering after fault clears. |
| 50 μA standby quiescent current | Supports low-power wake-on-event architectures where main rail remains active only during processing bursts. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2678SD-12/NOPB | Higher 8 A output rating, same 12 V fixed output, identical pinout and package - but larger thermal footprint required. | Suitable for future-proofing where load may scale beyond 5 A; requires larger PCB copper area for thermal management. | Select if headroom for 6–8 A peak loads is needed; otherwise LM2677SD-12/NOPB offers optimal size/cost balance at 5 A. |
| TPS54560DGQR | Adjustable output (0.8–60 V), 60 V max input, 5 A, 2.5–4.5 V UVLO - no fixed 12 V variant; requires external feedback resistors. | Used where output flexibility or higher input voltage (e.g., 48 V transients) is required - not drop-in compatible. | Choose only if adjustable output or >40 V input capability is mandatory; adds design complexity vs. LM2677SD-12/NOPB's plug-and-play fixed 12 V. |
Compared with LM2678SD-12/NOPB, the LM2677SD-12/NOPB delivers identical 12 V regulation with lower thermal mass and smaller PCB footprint; versus TPS54560DGQR, it eliminates feedback resistor selection and layout sensitivity while guaranteeing ±2% accuracy without trimming.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LM2677SD-12/NOPB?
The absolute maximum input voltage for the LM2677SD-12/NOPB is 45 V, but the recommended operating range is 8 V to 40 V per the datasheet. Exceeding 40 V risks violating the specified operating conditions and may impact reliability or output regulation accuracy. The device is commonly used with 24 V or 36 V industrial inputs, where it maintains 92% efficiency at full 5 A load.
Does the LM2677SD-12/NOPB require external feedback resistors to set its output voltage?
No - the LM2677SD-12/NOPB is a fixed-output variant with internal feedback resistors calibrated for 12 V ±2%. Pin 6 (FB) connects directly to the output node; no external resistors are needed. This simplifies layout, eliminates resistor tolerance errors, and ensures guaranteed accuracy without trimming - a key advantage over adjustable regulators like the LM2677-ADJ.
Can the LM2677SD-12/NOPB be synchronized to an external clock, and what is the supported frequency range?
Yes, the LM2677SD-12/NOPB supports external synchronization via Pin 5 (SYNC) over 280 kHz to 400 kHz. An AC-coupled TTL/CMOS clock (via 100 pF capacitor and 1 kΩ pull-down) resets the internal oscillator on each rising edge. This feature enables precise ripple frequency control - essential for EMI compliance in RF and communications equipment using the LM2677SD-12/NOPB.
What thermal performance can be expected from the LM2677SD-12/NOPB in the DDPAK/TO-263 package?
In the KTW (DDPAK/TO-263) package, the LM2677SD-12/NOPB achieves θJA = 26°C/W with 7.4× package-area copper and θJC = 2°C/W. At 5 A and 92% efficiency, power dissipation is ~4.8 W - resulting in ~125°C junction rise above ambient with 26°C/W cooling. Proper PCB copper area and optional heatsink keep TJ within the −40°C to +125°C operating range.
How does the ON/OFF pin function on the LM2677SD-12/NOPB, and what current does it draw in shutdown?
The ON/OFF pin (Pin 7) enables or disables the LM2677SD-12/NOPB: voltage <0.8 V forces shutdown with only 50 μA quiescent current, while >2.0 V enables normal operation. The pin has an internal 20 μA pull-up and 7 V clamp. This allows direct interfacing with microcontrollers or logic gates for power sequencing - and makes the LM2677SD-12/NOPB ideal for systems requiring low-power standby states.
