Product details
Overview
LM2677SX-ADJ from Texas Instruments is a monolithic step-down (buck) DC/DC switching regulator IC with integrated 100 mΩ DMOS power switch, delivering up to 5A output current across an adjustable output range of 1.2V to 37V. It operates from 8V to 40V input, achieves up to 92% efficiency, and features ±2% output voltage tolerance over full line/load/temperature conditions. It is used in high-efficiency pre-regulators for telecom power systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM2677SX-ADJ datasheet, LM2677SX-ADJ pinout, LM2677SX-ADJ application, or LM2677SX-ADJ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 260 kHz fixed-frequency PWM control, ON/OFF enable functionality, external sync capability (280–400 kHz), thermal shutdown, and current-limit protection - all critical for industrial and communications power supply design.
Technical Context
The LM2677SX-ADJ implements a voltage-mode PWM controller with internal 260 kHz oscillator and external sync input (Pin 5), enabling precise ripple frequency control for EMI-sensitive applications. Its feedback loop senses output voltage via resistive divider at Pin 6 (FB), referenced to 1.21 V typical VFB, supporting wide-range programmability.
It integrates a low-RDS(ON) (0.12–0.225 Ω) DMOS power switch, boost capacitor drive (Pin 3), and ON/OFF logic (Pin 7) that reduces quiescent current to 50 μA in shutdown. Thermal shutdown and cycle-by-cycle current limiting (6.1–8.75 A) provide robust fault protection without external circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 5 A continuous - supports high-power industrial loads without external current boosting. |
| Input Voltage Range | 8 V to 40 V - compatible with 12 V, 24 V, and 36 V nominal bus systems including automotive and telecom inputs. |
| Output Voltage Range | 1.2 V to 37 V (adjustable) - set via external resistor divider on FB pin; enables single-IC flexibility across diverse system rails. |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 1.21 V (±2.9%) - defines output accuracy; determines VOUT = 1.21 × (1 + R1/R2) with minimal drift over −40°C to +125°C. |
| Switching Frequency | 260 kHz fixed (internal) or 280–400 kHz (external sync) - balances efficiency, size, and EMI; allows consistent filter design across platforms. |
| Efficiency | Up to 92% - achieved via 100 mΩ RDS(ON) DMOS switch and optimized gate drive; reduces thermal load in enclosed enclosures. |
| Quiescent Current | 4.2 mA active / 50 μA standby - enables low-power hold-up modes during system sleep without auxiliary LDOs. |
Pinout & Package
LM2677SX-ADJ is packaged in DDPAK/TO-263 (Package Number KTW0007B), a thermally enhanced 7-pin surface-mount package with exposed die attach pad (DAP) for PCB ground connection and improved thermal dissipation (θJA as low as 26°C/W with 7.4× copper area).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 2) | Power Input | Primary DC input (8–40 V); supplies both load energy and internal bias; requires local 0.1–0.47 µF ceramic + bulk capacitor. |
| VSW (Pin 1) | Switch Node | Drain of internal DMOS switch; connects to inductor and catch diode anode; swings between VIN and ~−0.5 V. |
| CBOOST (Pin 3) | Bootstrap Capacitor Terminal | Connects 0.01 µF/50 V ceramic capacitor to VSW; generates gate drive >VIN to fully enhance internal MOSFET. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Power Ground | Common return for power path and internal circuits; must be tied to low-impedance ground plane to minimize noise coupling. |
| SYNC (Pin 5) | External Clock Input | Accepts TTL/CMOS clock (280–400 kHz); resets internal oscillator on rising edge; disables current limit foldback when active. |
| FB (Pin 6) | Feedback Input | Senses output voltage via resistor divider; regulates VOUT to 1.21 V reference; high-impedance (85 nA bias current). |
| ON/OFF (Pin 7) | Enable Control | Active-high logic input; <0.8 V disables regulator (50 µA IQ); internal 20 µA pull-up; max 6 V absolute rating. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 100 mΩ DMOS Power Switch | Eliminates need for external high-current MOSFET and driver; reduces BOM count and layout complexity in 5 A buck designs. |
| Adjustable Output (1.2 V to 37 V) | Single part replaces multiple fixed-output variants; simplifies inventory and enables flexible rail generation in multi-voltage systems. |
| External Sync Capability (280–400 kHz) | Enables deterministic EMI placement and synchronized switching across multiple converters - essential for radio and comms equipment. |
| Thermal Shutdown & Cycle-by-Cycle Current Limit | Provides autonomous fault recovery without external sensing; protects against overload, short-circuit, and overheating in unattended operation. |
| 50 µA Standby Quiescent Current | Supports ultra-low-power system states; enables battery-backed or energy-harvesting applications where idle consumption matters. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2678-ADJ | Same architecture but rated for 3 A output; lower RDS(ON) (0.11 Ω typ) and higher efficiency at light loads; no SYNC pin. | Best suited for space-constrained or lower-current (<3 A) designs where sync is not required and thermal budget is tighter. | Select LM2678-ADJ only if load current ≤3 A and external synchronization is unnecessary. |
| TPS54560B | 60 V input, 5 A, adjustable output; 100 kHz–2.5 MHz sync-capable; integrated soft-start and precision enable threshold (1.22 V). | Preferred for wider input ranges (e.g., 8–60 V), higher-frequency operation (>400 kHz), or designs needing programmable soft-start and tighter enable control. | Choose TPS54560B when input exceeds 40 V, higher switching frequencies are needed, or advanced sequencing features are required. |
Compared with LM2677SX-ADJ, LM2678-ADJ offers lower conduction loss at reduced current but lacks sync capability, while TPS54560B extends input voltage and frequency range at the cost of higher BOM complexity and different compensation behavior.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage supported by the LM2677SX-ADJ?
The LM2677SX-ADJ supports an adjustable output voltage range from 1.2 V to 37 V, set by an external resistor divider connected to the FB pin. This range is validated per the datasheet's "LM2677-ADJ Electrical Characteristics" table, with feedback reference voltage specified as 1.21 V (min 1.174 V, max 1.246 V) across −40°C to +125°C junction temperature.
Does the LM2677SX-ADJ require an external bootstrap capacitor?
Yes, the LM2677SX-ADJ requires a 0.01 µF/50 V ceramic capacitor connected between the CBOOST pin (Pin 3) and the VSW pin (Pin 1). This capacitor provides gate-boost voltage above VIN to fully enhance the internal DMOS switch, ensuring low RDS(ON) and high efficiency - a requirement explicitly stated in the "APPLICATION HINTS" section of the SNVS077I datasheet.
Can the LM2677SX-ADJ synchronize to an external clock, and what is the valid frequency range?
Yes, the LM2677SX-ADJ supports external synchronization via the SYNC pin (Pin 5) over 280 kHz to 400 kHz. The datasheet specifies that the external clock must exceed the internal oscillator's upper limit (280 kHz) to prevent erroneous reset; it also notes that current limit foldback is disabled during sync mode - a critical design consideration confirmed in the "APPLICATION HINTS" section.
What thermal performance can be expected from the LM2677SX-ADJ in DDPAK/TO-263 package?
In the DDPAK/TO-263 (KTW) package, the LM2677SX-ADJ achieves a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) as low as 26°C/W when mounted on 1.0064 in² copper area with vias - per the "All Output Voltage Versions Electrical Characteristics" table. This enables reliable 5 A operation at ambient temperatures up to +85°C without forced airflow, assuming proper PCB copper layout per TI Application Note AN-1187.
How does the ON/OFF pin function on the LM2677SX-ADJ, and what is its threshold voltage?
The ON/OFF pin (Pin 7) is an active-high enable input with a typical threshold voltage of 1.4 V (min 0.8 V, max 2.0 V). Driving this pin below 0.8 V disables the regulator, reducing quiescent current to 50 µA. The pin features an internal 20 µA pull-up and 7 V clamp zener, allowing direct microcontroller GPIO control without level-shifting - details verified in the "All Output Voltage Versions Electrical Characteristics" and "APPLICATION HINTS" sections.
