Product details
Overview
LM2679SD-3.3/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a monolithic 5-A step-down (buck) DC/DC voltage regulator with fixed 3.3-V output, 8 V to 40 V input range, 260-kHz fixed-frequency PWM control, and resistor-programmable current limit (5.5–7.6 A typical). It integrates a 120-mΩ DMOS high-side switch and supports soft-start via external capacitor for surge-current limiting in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LM2679SD-3.3/NOPB datasheet, LM2679SD-3.3/NOPB pinout, LM2679SD-3.3/NOPB application, or LM2679SD-3.3/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±2% output tolerance over line/load/temperature, thermal shutdown protection, bootstrapped gate drive architecture, and compatibility with standard off-the-shelf inductors and low-ESR output capacitors.
Technical Context
The LM2679SD-3.3/NOPB implements a fixed-frequency (260 kHz) current-mode PWM controller with internal DMOS high-side switch and bootstrap-driven gate driver. Its feedback loop senses output voltage directly at the FB pin (shorted to VOUT for fixed versions), enabling stable regulation without external divider resistors.
Current limiting is set by an external resistor (RADJ = 5.6 kΩ yields 6.3-A typical peak switch current), and soft-start is controlled by a capacitor on the SS pin that linearly ramps duty cycle. The device operates across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature and includes thermal shutdown and under-voltage lockout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output voltage | Fixed 3.3 V ±2% over full line, load, and temperature (–40°C to 125°C) |
| Input voltage range | 8 V to 40 V - supports wide industrial and battery-derived DC inputs |
| Max output current | 5 A continuous - enables single-regulator solutions for mid-power systems |
| Switch RDS(ON) | 0.12 Ω (typ) at 25°C - minimizes conduction loss and improves efficiency up to 92% |
| Oscillator frequency | 260 kHz ±11% - enables use of compact magnetics and reduces EMI filtering burden |
| Current limit range | 3 A to 7 A programmable via RADJ - allows tailoring fault protection to specific load requirements |
| Quiescent current | 6 mA max - maintains low no-load power draw in always-on systems |
Pinout & Package
LM2679SD-3.3/NOPB uses the 7-pin TO-263 (KTW) package with exposed thermal pad (DAP), measuring 10.10 mm × 8.89 mm. The DAP must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal performance and electrical stability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SW) | Switch output | Drain node of internal DMOS FET; connects to inductor and Schottky diode cathode - switching node with high dv/dt |
| 2 (VIN) | Input supply | High-current input path to internal switch and bias circuitry; requires low-inductance bypassing near pin |
| 3 (CB) | Bootstrap capacitor | Connects 0.01-μF ceramic capacitor to SW pin to generate gate drive voltage > VIN for full FET enhancement |
| 4 (GND) | Power ground | Main return path for input/output currents and IC substrate; must tie to thermal pad and low-impedance ground plane |
| 5 (IADJ) | Current limit adjust | Accepts resistor to GND to set peak switch current per ICL = 37,125 / RADJ (Ω) |
| 6 (FB) | Feedback sense | Internally tied to 3.3-V reference; shorted to output for fixed version - no external divider needed |
| 7 (SS) | Soft-start control | Accepts capacitor to GND to ramp output voltage linearly; prevents inrush current during startup |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 120-mΩ DMOS switch | Enables 5-A output without external MOSFET, reducing BOM count and layout complexity |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2678SD-3.3/NOPB | Same pinout, 3.3-V fixed output, but 2.5-A max output and 280-kHz oscillator | Suitable only for lower-current applications (<2.5 A); lacks adjustable current limit | Select when 5-A capability is unnecessary and board space or cost optimization is prioritized |

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended input voltage for LM2679SD-3.3/NOPB?
The absolute maximum input voltage for LM2679SD-3.3/NOPB is 45 V, but the recommended operating range is 8 V to 40 V. Operation above 40 V risks exceeding safe operating area limits and may trigger internal protection circuits. For sustained reliability, keep VIN ≤40 V under all conditions including transients.
Does LM2679SD-3.3/NOPB require an external feedback resistor divider?
No. LM2679SD-3.3/NOPB is a fixed-output variant: its internal feedback divider is factory-trimmed to 3.3 V, so the FB pin is internally connected to the output reference and must be shorted directly to the output capacitor. Adding external resistors will disrupt regulation and cause incorrect output voltage.
How is current limit set on LM2679SD-3.3/NOPB?
Current limit is set by connecting a resistor (RADJ) between the IADJ pin (Pin 5) and GND. The peak switch current follows ICL = 37,125 / RADJ (Ω). For the standard 5.6-kΩ resistor, LM2679SD-3.3/NOPB delivers 6.3-A typical current limit, adjustable from 3 A to 7 A depending on RADJ value.
What package type does LM2679SD-3.3/NOPB use, and is thermal pad connection required?
LM2679SD-3.3/NOPB uses the 7-pin TO-263 (KTW) package with exposed thermal pad (DAP). Yes - the DAP must be soldered to a minimum 100-mm² copper area tied to GND for thermal performance and electrical stability. Omitting this connection causes junction temperature rise >20°C and potential thermal shutdown.
Can LM2679SD-3.3/NOPB operate with input voltage below 8 V?
No. LM2679SD-3.3/NOPB has an under-voltage lockout (UVLO) threshold of approximately 7.5 V. Input voltage below 8 V prevents startup and disables the internal switch. This is a hard specification - operation below 8 V is not supported, and attempting it results in no output regulation or undefined behavior.
