Product details
Overview
LM2678T-ADJ/S7002204 from Texas Instruments is a monolithic step-down (buck) DC-DC switching regulator delivering up to 5A output current with adjustable output voltage (1.2V–37V), 260kHz fixed-frequency operation, 120mΩ internal DMOS switch, and ±2% output voltage tolerance over full line/load/temperature range. It serves as a high-efficiency (>90%) primary power conversion stage in industrial power supplies and battery-based systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM2678T-ADJ/S7002204 datasheet, LM2678T-ADJ/S7002204 pinout, LM2678T-ADJ/S7002204 application, or LM2678T-ADJ/S7002204 equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (8V–40V), thermal performance in TO-263 package, feedback bias current (85nA), ON/OFF threshold (0.8V–2V), and standby quiescent current (50μA).
Technical Context
The LM2678T-ADJ/S7002204 implements a fixed-frequency (260kHz ±11%) PWM controller driving an integrated high-side DMOS FET with 120mΩ RDS(ON) at 25°C. Its feedback loop uses a two-stage high-gain amplifier referenced to a precise 1.21V internal reference (±1.15% over temperature), enabling stable regulation across 1.2V–37V via external resistor divider.
Functional modes include active regulation (ON/OFF ≥1.4V) and shutdown (ON/OFF ≤0.8V), drawing only 50μA standby current. Thermal protection, cycle-by-cycle current limiting (6.1A–8.75A), and built-in soft-start ensure robust operation in demanding environments from –40°C to 125°C junction temperature.

Pinout & Package
LM2678T-ADJ/S7002204 is packaged in KTW (TO-263-7), a thermally enhanced surface-mount variant of TO-220 with exposed DAP for PCB heat sinking. The 7-pin layout supports high-current routing and simplified thermal management in space-constrained industrial designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| 1 (SW) | Switch Output | High-side DMOS drain node - connects directly to inductor and Schottky cathode; switches between VIN and ~–0.5V |
| 2 (VIN) | Input Supply | Main power input (8V–40V); requires low-ESR bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin |
| 3 (CB) | Bootstrap Capacitor | Connects to SW via 100nF ceramic capacitor - provides gate drive voltage >VIN for full FET enhancement |
| 4 (GND) | Power Ground | Primary return path for input/output capacitors and thermal DAP - must tie to large copper area |
| 5 (NC) | No Connect | Internally unconnected - leave floating; no routing or soldering required |
| 6 (FB) | Feedback Input | Senses output voltage via resistor divider - sets VOUT = 1.21V × (1 + R1/R2); bias current 85nA |
| 7 (ON/OFF) | Enable Control | Logic-level shutdown input - <0.8V disables regulator (50μA ISTBY); >1.4V enables operation |

|---|---|---|---|
| LM2596T-ADJ | 3A output current, 150kHz switching frequency, higher RDS(ON) (0.22Ω), wider VIN (4.5V–40V) | Limited to lower-power loads; slower switching increases inductor size and reduces light-load efficiency | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs current capability and thermal constraints |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current rating of the LM2678T-ADJ/S7002204?
The LM2678T-ADJ/S7002204 is rated for continuous output current up to 5A under recommended operating conditions (TJ ≤ 125°C, proper PCB thermal design). Current limit is specified from 5.75A to 8.75A across temperature, ensuring safe operation during transient overloads without external current-sense components.
Does the LM2678T-ADJ/S7002204 require an external bootstrap capacitor?
Yes, the LM2678T-ADJ/S7002204 requires a 100nF ceramic capacitor connected between the CB pin and the SW pin to provide sufficient gate drive voltage for the internal high-side DMOS switch. This bootstrap configuration ensures full enhancement of the FET and maintains low RDS(ON) across the full input voltage range.
What is the feedback reference voltage for the LM2678T-ADJ/S7002204?
The LM2678T-ADJ/S7002204 uses an internal 1.21V reference voltage at the FB pin, with ±1.15% tolerance over temperature. This reference determines output voltage via VOUT = 1.21V × (1 + R1/R2), enabling precise adjustment from 1.2V to 37V using standard resistor values.
Can the LM2678T-ADJ/S7002204 operate with an input voltage below 8V?
No-the absolute minimum recommended input voltage for reliable operation of the LM2678T-ADJ/S7002204 is 8V. Operation below this level may prevent proper gate drive of the internal DMOS switch and result in regulation failure or excessive dropout. The device's absolute maximum input rating is 45V, with recommended operation bounded by 8V–40V.
How does the ON/OFF pin function on the LM2678T-ADJ/S7002204?
The ON/OFF pin of the LM2678T-ADJ/S7002204 provides logic-level enable control: pulling it below 0.8V places the device in shutdown mode with 50μA standby current, while driving it above 1.4V enables normal regulation. An internal 20μA pull-up current source allows simple operation by leaving the pin open for always-on functionality.
