Product details
Overview
LM2677SDX-5.0 from Texas Instruments is a monolithic step-down (buck) DC/DC switching regulator with integrated 100 mΩ DMOS power switch, delivering up to 5 A output current at a fixed 5.0 V output voltage, operating from 8 V to 40 V input, and achieving up to 84% efficiency at 12 VIN/5 A. It is used in high-efficiency pre-regulators for linear regulators and battery-powered industrial systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM2677SDX-5.0 datasheet, LM2677SDX-5.0 pinout, LM2677SDX-5.0 application, or LM2677SDX-5.0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5.0 V ±2% output tolerance over full line/load/temperature, 260 kHz fixed internal oscillator, ON/OFF control with 50 μA standby current, and external sync capability from 280 kHz to 400 kHz.
Technical Context
The LM2677SDX-5.0 implements a current-mode PWM buck regulator architecture with internal ramp compensation and cycle-by-cycle current limiting. Its 100 mΩ DMOS switch enables high efficiency across 8–40 V input range while maintaining tight output regulation under dynamic load steps.
It features a dedicated BOOST pin (Pin 3) requiring a 0.01 μF ceramic capacitor to gate-drive the internal MOSFET above VIN, a SYNC pin (Pin 5) accepting TTL/CMOS clocks for precise ripple frequency control, and an ON/OFF pin (Pin 7) enabling hard shutdown with 50 μA quiescent current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0 V ±2% over −40°C to +125°C junction temperature, 8–40 V input, 100 mA–5 A load. |
| Max Output Current | 5 A continuous; current limit threshold is 6.1 A (typ), 5.75–8.75 A (min/max) across temperature. |
| Input Voltage Range | 8 V to 40 V DC; absolute maximum rating is 45 V. |
| Switching Frequency | 260 kHz fixed internal oscillator (225–280 kHz over temp); externally synchronizable from 280 kHz to 400 kHz. |
| Efficiency | 84% typical at VIN = 12 V, IOUT = 5 A, TA = 25°C. |
| Quiescent Current | 4.2 mA typical operating; 50 μA standby when ON/OFF pin ≤ 0.8 V. |
| RDS(ON) | 0.14 Ω typical at ISW = 5 A; enables low conduction loss and high thermal efficiency. |
Pinout & Package
LM2677SDX-5.0 is packaged in the 7-lead DDPAK/TO-263 (Package Number KTW0007B), featuring an exposed die attach pad (DAP) that must be connected to PCB ground for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VSW (Pin 1) | Switch Node | Drives external inductor; swings between VIN (ON) and ~−0.5 V (OFF via Schottky clamp); requires low-inductance layout. |
| VIN (Pin 2) | Power Input | Supplies bias and load energy; must be bypassed with ≥10 μF low-ESR capacitor close to pin. |
| CBOOST (Pin 3) | Bootstrap Capacitor Terminal | Connects to 0.01 μF/50 V ceramic cap tied to VSW; enables full gate drive for low RDS(ON). |
| GND (Pin 4) | Power Ground | Main return path for switch, feedback, and control circuits; requires low-impedance ground plane. |
| SYNC (Pin 5) | External Clock Input | Accepts 280–400 kHz TTL/CMOS clock via 100 pF series cap + 1 kΩ to GND; disables current-limit foldback when active. |
| FB (Pin 6) | Feedback Input | Internally connected to 5 V divider; direct connection to output required for regulation; bias current <85 nA. |
| ON/OFF (Pin 7) | Enable Control | Logic-low ≤0.8 V disables regulator; internal 20 μA pull-up; clamped to 7 V zener; max 6 V absolute rating. |

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-5.0 | Same pinout and function but rated for 8 A output; higher RDS(ON) (80 mΩ vs 100 mΩ) and lower efficiency at 5 A. | Better suited for future-proofing or higher peak loads; larger thermal footprint required. | Select LM2678SDX-5.0 only if >5 A headroom or higher current limit (9.5 A typ) is needed; otherwise LM2677SDX-5.0 offers optimal size/efficiency trade-off. |
| TPS54560DGQR | 60 V input, 5 A synchronous buck; no integrated BOOT cap requirement; 100 kHz–2.5 MHz adjustable frequency; no SYNC pin. | Supports wider input range and higher switching frequencies; lacks external sync for EMI control. | Choose TPS54560DGQR for 40–60 V inputs or programmable frequency; LM2677SDX-5.0 remains preferred where sync alignment or TI SIMPLE SWITCHER ecosystem compatibility is critical. |
Compared with LM2678SDX-5.0 and TPS54560DGQR, LM2677SDX-5.0 delivers best-in-class thermal performance in DDPAK at 5 A with built-in sync capability for EMI-sensitive applications, while maintaining minimal external component count and proven reliability in industrial deployments.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM2677SDX-5.0?
The absolute maximum input voltage for LM2677SDX-5.0 is 45 V DC. The recommended operating range is 8 V to 40 V. Exceeding 45 V risks permanent damage to the internal DMOS switch and control circuitry, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the SNVS077I datasheet. For reliable long-term operation, design margins should keep VIN ≤ 40 V under all conditions including transients.
Does LM2677SDX-5.0 require an external bootstrap capacitor?
Yes, LM2677SDX-5.0 requires a 0.01 μF ceramic capacitor (rated ≥50 V) connected between the CBOOST pin (Pin 3) and the VSW pin (Pin 1). This capacitor provides gate-boost voltage to fully enhance the internal DMOS switch, minimizing RDS(ON) and maximizing efficiency. Omitting it causes significant conduction loss and potential thermal failure under 5 A load, per TI Application Hints section.
Can LM2677SDX-5.0 be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes, LM2677SDX-5.0 supports external synchronization via Pin 5 (SYNC) over 280 kHz to 400 kHz. A 100 pF capacitor in series with a 1 kΩ resistor to ground is required for proper edge-triggered reset of the internal oscillator. When enabled, SYNC overrides the 260 kHz internal clock but disables current-limit foldback, so short-circuit protection behavior changes-details are specified in the SNVS077I datasheet Section "SYNC".
What is the output voltage tolerance of LM2677SDX-5.0 over temperature and load?
LM2677SDX-5.0 guarantees ±2% output voltage tolerance over full operating conditions: −40°C to +125°C junction temperature, 8–40 V input, and 100 mA to 5 A load. This is verified by TI's production testing per the LM2677-5.0 Electrical Characteristics table (SNVS077I, page 4), where min/max limits are 4.850 V to 5.150 V at temperature extremes.
Is thermal shutdown included in LM2677SDX-5.0?
Yes, LM2677SDX-5.0 integrates thermal shutdown protection that disables the regulator when junction temperature exceeds approximately 165°C. Recovery occurs automatically once temperature falls below the hysteresis threshold (~150°C). This feature is documented in the "Features" list and "APPLICATION HINTS" section of the SNVS077I datasheet and operates independently of current limit or ON/OFF control.
