Product details
Overview
LM2677T-5.0 from Texas Instruments is a monolithic step-down (buck) DC/DC switching regulator IC with fixed 5.0 V output, 5 A load capability, 8–40 V input range, 260 kHz internal oscillator, and integrated 100 mΩ DMOS power switch. It delivers up to 92% efficiency in optimized designs and supports external clock synchronization for ripple frequency control - used in high-efficiency pre-regulators for telecom power systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM2677T-5.0 datasheet, LM2677T-5.0 pinout, LM2677T-5.0 application, or LM2677T-5.0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±2% output tolerance over full line/load/temperature, 50 μA standby current, thermal shutdown protection, and compatibility with standard off-the-shelf inductors and low-ESR output capacitors.
Technical Context
The LM2677T-5.0 implements a voltage-mode PWM controller with internal 260 kHz fixed-frequency oscillator or external sync input (280–400 kHz), driving an integrated 100 mΩ DMOS switch. Its feedback loop uses a two-stage high-gain amplifier referenced to an internal 1.21 V bandgap, enabling precise 5.0 V regulation without external resistors.
It features cycle-by-cycle current limiting (6.1–8.3 A typical limit), thermal shutdown, and ON/OFF control with 0.8–2.0 V threshold. The BOOST capacitor (0.01 µF) enables gate overdrive for low RDS(on) operation, while SYNC functionality disables current-limit foldback when active.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0 V ±2% over −40°C to +125°C, 100 mA–5 A load, 8–40 V input - ensures stable rail for downstream logic or analog circuitry without trimming. |
| Maximum Output Current | 5 A continuous - supports high-power subsystems like FPGA core supplies or motor driver bias rails. |
| Input Voltage Range | 8 V to 40 V - compatible with 12 V/24 V industrial buses and automotive battery-supplied systems after transient suppression. |
| Switching Frequency | 260 kHz internal oscillator (±15%) or 280–400 kHz external sync - enables predictable EMI filtering and consistent ripple spectrum placement. |
| Efficiency | Up to 84% at 12 VIN/5 VOUT/5 A - reduces thermal load vs. linear regulators and minimizes heatsink requirements. |
| Quiescent Current | 4.2–6 mA operating; 50 μA in ON/OFF shutdown - preserves battery life in always-on monitoring circuits. |
| Thermal Protection | Integrated thermal shutdown with automatic recovery - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB cooling. |
Pinout & Package
LM2677T-5.0 is packaged in TO-220 (NDZ0007B), with exposed tab thermally connected to Pin 9 (GND) and electrically isolated. The package supports vertical mounting with ½-inch leads soldered to ≥4 in² copper area for θJA = 45°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 2) | Power Input | Accepts 8–40 V unregulated DC; requires local 0.1–0.47 µF ceramic + bulk capacitor to suppress high di/dt transients. |
| VSW (Pin 1) | Switch Node | Drains internal DMOS switch; connects to inductor and catch diode anode - high dv/dt node requiring tight layout and ground plane. |
| CBOOST (Pin 3) | Bootstrap Supply | 0.01 µF/50 V ceramic capacitor between Pin 3 and Pin 1 - lifts gate drive above VIN to fully enhance internal MOSFET. |
| GND (Pin 4, 9) | Power & Signal Ground | Common return for input/output paths, feedback, and ON/OFF; Pin 9 tab must be soldered to large copper pour for thermal conduction. |
| SYNC (Pin 5) | External Clock Input | TTL/CMOS-compatible sync signal (280–400 kHz); AC-coupled via 100 pF + 1 kΩ to GND - overrides internal oscillator for EMI control. |
| FB (Pin 6) | Feedback Input | Direct connection to 5 V output (no divider); internal 1.21 V reference sets regulation point - sensitive to noise and layout parasitics. |
| ON/OFF (Pin 7) | Enable Control | Active-high logic input; <0.8 V disables regulator (50 μA IQ); internal 20 μA pull-up allows open-circuit default ON operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 100 mΩ DMOS Power Switch | Eliminates external high-side FET and gate driver, reducing BOM count and layout complexity for 5 A buck converters. |
| ±2% Output Voltage Tolerance | Guaranteed across full temperature, line, and load range - avoids post-production calibration in precision 5 V supply applications. |
| External Sync Capability (280–400 kHz) | Enables deterministic ripple frequency alignment across multiple converters - critical for noise-sensitive RF and communications subsystems. |
| 50 μA Standby Quiescent Current | Supports low-power wake-on-event architectures where main regulator remains off until system initialization or sensor trigger. |
| Thermal Shutdown + Current Limit | Self-protecting operation under overload, short-circuit, or inadequate heatsinking - maintains reliability without external fault management circuitry. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2596T-5.0 | 3 A max output, 150 kHz fixed frequency, no SYNC input, higher RDS(on) (160 mΩ). | Limited to ≤3 A loads; unsuitable for synchronized multi-rail systems or high-current FPGA supplies. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs current capability and EMI control needs. |
| TPS54560B | 5.5 A max, 100 kHz–2.5 MHz adjustable frequency, integrated soft-start, higher quiescent current (145 μA). | Requires external compensation; better for ultra-low-noise or wide-frequency-tuning designs but adds design overhead. | Select when programmable frequency, soft-start, or enhanced light-load efficiency are required. |
Compared with LM2677T-5.0, LM2596T-5.0 trades current capacity and sync capability for lower cost, while TPS54560B offers greater flexibility and integration at the expense of added design complexity and higher standby current.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LM2677T-5.0?
The absolute maximum input voltage for the LM2677T-5.0 is 45 V, but the recommended operating range is 8 V to 40 V. Exceeding 40 V risks violating the device's safe operating area, especially under thermal stress or high load conditions. The 45 V rating is a destructive limit - not a functional one - and sustained operation above 40 V voids performance guarantees per the datasheet.
Does the LM2677T-5.0 require external feedback resistors to set its output voltage?
No, the LM2677T-5.0 does not require external feedback resistors. It is a fixed-output variant with internal resistor divider network referenced to a 1.21 V bandgap, delivering precisely 5.0 V ±2%. The FB pin (Pin 6) connects directly to the output node - no external components are needed for regulation, simplifying layout and improving stability.
Can the LM2677T-5.0 synchronize to an external clock, and what are the valid frequency limits?
Yes, the LM2677T-5.0 supports external synchronization via Pin 5 (SYNC). Valid input frequencies range from 280 kHz to 400 kHz. Frequencies below 280 kHz may cause erratic operation due to interference with the internal ramp oscillator; frequencies above 400 kHz exceed specification and risk timing violation. A 100 pF capacitor and 1 kΩ pull-down resistor are required for proper AC coupling.
What thermal performance can be expected from the LM2677T-5.0 in a TO-220 package?
In the TO-220 (NDZ0007B) package, the LM2677T-5.0 achieves θJA = 45°C/W when mounted vertically with ½-inch leads soldered to ≥4 in² of 1 oz. copper. Junction-to-case (θJC) is 2°C/W. At 5 A output and 12 V input, typical power dissipation is ~1.2 W - resulting in ~54°C junction rise above ambient, well within the −40°C to +125°C operating range if PCB copper area is properly implemented.
How does the ON/OFF pin function, and what is its threshold voltage?
Pin 7 (ON/OFF) is an active-high enable input with a threshold of 0.8 V (min) to 2.0 V (max). Driving it below 0.8 V disables the regulator, reducing quiescent current to 50 μA. The pin has an internal 20 μA pull-up, so leaving it open defaults to ON. Exceeding 6 V violates the absolute maximum rating and may damage the input protection clamp.
