Product details
Overview
LM2677SDX-12/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a monolithic step-down (buck) DC-DC voltage regulator with fixed 12 V output, 5 A load capability, 8–40 V input range, 92% peak efficiency at 24 VIN/5 A, and integrated 100 mΩ DMOS power switch. It serves as a high-current pre-regulator in industrial power supplies and communications equipment.
For engineers reviewing the LM2677SDX-12/NOPB datasheet, LM2677SDX-12/NOPB pinout, LM2677SDX-12/NOPB application, or LM2677SDX-12/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 12 V output tolerance (±2%), −40°C to +125°C junction temperature rating, external sync capability (280–400 kHz), 260 kHz internal oscillator, and thermal shutdown/current limit protection.
Technical Context
The LM2677SDX-12/NOPB implements a current-mode PWM buck controller with an integrated 100 mΩ DMOS switch, enabling continuous conduction mode operation up to 5 A. Its feedback loop uses a precision 1.21 V reference and internal resistive divider for fixed 12 V output regulation.
It supports both internal 260 kHz fixed-frequency operation and external synchronization (280–400 kHz) via the SYNC pin, allowing ripple frequency control for EMI-sensitive applications. Thermal shutdown, cycle-by-cycle current limiting, and ON/OFF control with 50 μA standby current are built-in.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 12 V ±2% over full line/load/temperature range - ensures stable rail for downstream logic or analog circuitry without external resistor network. |
| Max Output Current | 5 A continuous - supports high-power loads such as FPGAs, RF power stages, or motor drivers without external current boosting. |
| Input Voltage Range | 8 V to 40 V - compatible with 12 V/24 V/36 V industrial bus systems and battery-backed supplies. |
| Peak Efficiency | 92% at VIN = 24 V, IOUT = 5 A - minimizes thermal stress and enables compact heatsink-free designs in enclosed enclosures. |
| Switch RDS(on) | 0.12 Ω typical - reduces conduction loss and improves light-load efficiency versus discrete MOSFET solutions. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 260 kHz internal or 280–400 kHz externally synchronized - enables predictable EMI filtering and consistent ripple spectrum positioning. |
| Operating Junction Temp | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive auxiliary rails and industrial control cabinets. |
| Standby Current | 50 μA when ON/OFF = 0 V - supports low-power sleep modes in battery-powered gateways or remote sensors. |
Pinout & Package
LM2677SDX-12/NOPB is packaged in a 7-pin DDPAK/TO-263 (KTW) thermally enhanced surface-mount package with exposed die attach pad (DAP) for PCB ground connection. Thermal resistance θJA ranges from 26°C/W (with 7.4× DAP copper area) to 56°C/W (minimal copper), enabling scalable thermal design.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VSW | Switch Node | Drives external catch diode and inductor; swings from VIN to ~−0.5 V during OFF-time - requires low-inductance layout and Schottky diode with <1.3×VIN reverse rating. |
| VIN | Main Input Supply | Accepts 8–40 V unregulated input; must be bypassed with ≥100 μF low-ESR capacitor placed adjacent to pin - critical for stability and EMI suppression. |
| CBOOST | Bootstrap Capacitor Terminal | Connects 0.01 μF/50 V ceramic capacitor to VSW - provides gate overdrive for internal DMOS switch to maintain low RDS(on). |
| GND | Power Ground Reference | Common return for internal circuitry, switch, and feedback amplifier - requires low-impedance ground plane to minimize noise coupling into FB pin. |
| SYNC | External Clock Input | Accepts TTL/CMOS clock (280–400 kHz); AC-coupled via 100 pF + 1 kΩ to GND - disables current-limit foldback when active. |
| FB | Feedback Input | Internally connected to 12 V divider - no external resistors needed; sensitive to noise - must be routed away from VSW and inductor. |
| ON/OFF | Enable Control | Logic-low (<0.8 V) disables regulator; pulls 20 μA internal current source - allows system-level power sequencing and fault shutdown. |
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 while maintaining 5 A capability. |
| ±2% Output Tolerance | Guaranteed across −40°C to +125°C, 8–40 VIN, and 100 mA–5 A load - avoids post-regulation trimming in mission-critical 12 V rails. |
| External Sync Capability | Enables precise ripple frequency alignment across multiple converters in dense PCB layouts - essential for EMI compliance in telecom base stations. |
| Thermal Shutdown + Current Limit | Protects against sustained overload or ambient overheating without external sensing components - ensures robustness in unattended industrial deployments. |
| Simple External Component Count | Requires only one inductor, one catch diode, two capacitors (input/output), and one boost capacitor - accelerates design cycle vs. controller+MOSFET alternatives. |
| −40°C to +125°C Operating Range | Validated for extended temperature operation without derating - suitable for outdoor power amplifiers and railway signaling electronics. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2678SDX-12/NOPB | Higher 8 A output current rating; identical 12 V fixed output, package, and pinout - shares same thermal design but requires larger inductor/diode. | Targeted at higher-power systems (e.g., servo drives) where 5 A margin is insufficient; not drop-in due to increased current handling requirements. | Select when load exceeds 5 A or future-proofing for higher-current revisions is required; verify inductor saturation current and diode RMS rating. |
| TPS54560QDGQRQ1 | Automotive-grade (AEC-Q100) 60 V input, adjustable output, 5 A synchronous buck - replaces external diode with integrated high-side/low-side MOSFETs. | Designed for automotive infotainment with wider VIN (4.5–60 V), lower quiescent current (14 μA), and mandatory automotive qualification. | Choose for new automotive designs requiring AEC-Q100 compliance and cold-crank support below 6 V; requires redesign of feedback network and layout. |
Compared with LM2678SDX-12/NOPB, the LM2677SDX-12/NOPB offers sufficient 5 A capability with smaller magnetics and lower cost, while TPS54560QDGQRQ1 adds automotive qualification and synchronous rectification at the expense of fixed-output simplicity and higher BOM complexity.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM2677SDX-12/NOPB?
The absolute maximum input voltage for LM2677SDX-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 trigger overvoltage protection or reduce reliability. The device is commonly used with 24 V or 36 V industrial supplies within this safe window.
Does LM2677SDX-12/NOPB require external feedback resistors?
No, LM2677SDX-12/NOPB does not require external feedback resistors. It is a fixed-output variant with internal resistor divider set for 12 V, so the FB pin connects directly to the output. This simplifies layout and eliminates resistor tolerance errors - a key advantage over adjustable versions like LM2677-ADJ.
Can LM2677SDX-12/NOPB synchronize to an external clock?
Yes, LM2677SDX-12/NOPB supports external synchronization via the SYNC pin (Pin 5), accepting TTL/CMOS clocks from 280 kHz to 400 kHz. An AC-coupled interface (100 pF capacitor + 1 kΩ pull-down to GND) is required. Note that current-limit foldback is disabled during sync operation, so short-circuit protection behavior differs from free-running mode.
What thermal performance can be expected from LM2677SDX-12/NOPB in a standard PCB layout?
In a standard 4-layer PCB with 0.4896 in² (3.6× package area) of 1 oz. copper connected to the DAP, LM2677SDX-12/NOPB achieves θJA = 35°C/W. At 5 A and 92% efficiency, power dissipation is ~5.3 W, resulting in ~185°C rise above ambient - confirming the need for adequate copper area or heatsinking to stay within the +125°C max junction limit.
Is LM2677SDX-12/NOPB RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, LM2677SDX-12/NOPB is RoHS-compliant and lead-free, as indicated by the "/NOPB" suffix in the part number (Texas Instruments' designation for lead-free, RoHS-compliant packaging). It meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 and is compatible with standard Pb-free reflow profiles.
