Product details
Overview
LM2694MTX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 30V, 600 mA step-down switching regulator with integrated N-channel buck switch, constant on-time control architecture, and no loop compensation required. It operates from 8V–30V input, delivers adjustable output voltage (via FB pin), features valley current limit at 0.62A, and supports up to 1 MHz switching frequency - ideal for high-voltage post-regulation in telecom and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LM2694MTX/NOPB datasheet, LM2694MTX/NOPB pinout, LM2694MTX/NOPB application, or LM2694MTX/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include its WSON-10 thermally enhanced package, RON/SD programmable on-time control, BST bootstrap capacitor interface, ISEN current-sense terminal, and absence of external compensation components.
Technical Context
The LM2694MTX/NOPB implements a constant on-time (COT) control scheme where tON is determined by VIN and an external RON resistor - enabling stable switching frequency across line and load variations. Its regulation relies on direct comparison of FB voltage against a precision 2.5 V internal reference, with over-voltage protection triggered at 2.9 V.
Current limiting occurs during off-time via valley detection at the ISEN pin, with nominal threshold of 0.62 A and internal 180 mΩ sense resistance. Startup is managed by an integrated 7 V start-up regulator (VCC), which powers internal circuitry and enables gate drive via BST-SW bootstrap capacitor charging.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 8 V to 30 V - supports wide-range industrial and telecom inputs without pre-regulation |
| Output Current Capability | 600 mA continuous - sufficient for point-of-load bias rails in FPGA, DSP, and analog subsystems |
| Switching Frequency | Up to 1 MHz - enables compact magnetics and fast transient response |
| Current Limit Threshold | 0.62 A (valley detection) - provides robust short-circuit protection without foldback |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 2.5 V ±2% - sets output via resistor divider (R1/R2); low 1 nA bias current minimizes divider error |
| VCC Regulator Output | 7.0 V ±0.4 V - powers internal logic and gate driver; UVLO at 5.7 V ensures clean startup |
| Thermal Shutdown | 175 °C with 20 °C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design |
Pinout & Package
LM2694MTX/NOPB is housed in a 3 mm × 3 mm WSON-10 package with exposed thermal pad (EP), optimized for high-power density and thermal performance in space-constrained applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 SW | Switching Node | Source of internal N-channel buck switch; connects to inductor, freewheeling diode, and BST capacitor |
| 2 BST | Bootstrap Supply | Charges via internal diode during off-time; requires 0.022 µF ceramic capacitor to SW for gate drive |
| 3 ISEN | Valley Current Sense | Sinks recirculating inductor current during off-time; sets 0.62 A current limit via internal 180 mΩ resistor |
| 4 SGND | Sense Ground | Return path for ISEN current; must be routed separately from RTN to avoid noise coupling |
| 5 RTN | Circuit Ground | Main ground return for all internal circuitry except current sense; connects to system ground plane |
| 6 FB | Voltage Feedback Input | Compares output voltage (via R1/R2 divider) to 2.5 V reference; requires ≥25 mV ripple for stable operation |
| 7 SS | Soft-Start Control | Internal 12 µA current source charges external capacitor to ramp output voltage; grounded during fault conditions |
| 8 RON/SD | On-Time Programming / Shutdown | Resistor from VIN sets tON; grounding disables regulator and reduces quiescent current to 180 µA |
| 9 VCC | Startup Regulator Output | 7 V regulated supply for internal circuits; can be externally biased to reduce dissipation |
| 10 VIN | Main Input Supply | Accepts 8–30 V; bypassed with low-ESR ceramic capacitor near pin for stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external loop compensation required | Eliminates 2–3 passive components and associated stability tuning; simplifies layout and validation |
| Constant on-time control architecture | Maintains stable switching frequency across 8–30 V input and full load range without frequency droop |
| Integrated 7 V start-up regulator | Enables direct connection to high-voltage rails; eliminates need for external bias supply or LDO |
| Valley current limit with 0.62 A threshold | Provides graceful transition to constant-current mode under overload, avoiding destructive peak currents |
| WSON-10 thermally enhanced package | θJA = 33 °C/W (0 LFPM); exposed pad improves heat transfer to PCB ground plane |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2694MTC/NOPB | TSSOP-14 package; higher θJA (40 °C/W); same electrical specs and pinout mapping except NC pins | Better suited for prototyping or manual assembly; less thermally efficient than WSON-10 | Select when board-level rework or through-hole compatibility is prioritized over thermal performance |
| TPS54202DRCT | 2 A output, 4.5–28 V input, integrated FETs, 2.5 V reference, but requires external compensation and has different control architecture (current-mode) | Higher current capability and wider input range, but increased BOM count and design complexity | Choose when >600 mA load or tighter input voltage margin (down to 4.5 V) is required |
Compared with LM2694MTC/NOPB, LM2694MTX/NOPB offers superior thermal performance in a smaller footprint; compared with TPS54202DRCT, it trades higher current capability for simpler implementation, no compensation, and lower quiescent current in shutdown.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM2694MTX/NOPB?
The absolute maximum input voltage (VIN to RTN) for LM2694MTX/NOPB is 33 V, with recommended continuous operation limited to 8 V–30 V per the datasheet. Exceeding 30 V may trigger overvoltage stress on internal structures, especially during transients. The device includes BST-to-SW and VIN-to-SW absolute maximum ratings of 14 V and 33 V respectively, reinforcing safe operating area constraints defined in SNVS444A.
Does LM2694MTX/NOPB require external compensation components?
No, LM2694MTX/NOPB does not require external compensation components. Its constant on-time control architecture eliminates the need for loop compensation networks, reducing BOM count and simplifying design. Stability is inherently maintained across line and load variations, and the feedback loop uses only the FB pin referenced to the internal 2.5 V comparator - confirmed in the "No Loop Compensation Required" feature list and functional description of SNVS444A.
How is output voltage set on LM2694MTX/NOPB?
Output voltage on LM2694MTX/NOPB is set using a resistor divider (R1 and R2) connected between VOUT, FB, and RTN. The regulated output follows VOUT = 2.5 V × (R1 + R2)/R2. This relationship is derived from the 2.5 V internal reference at the FB pin and is validated across temperature in the Electrical Characteristics table (VREF = 2.44–2.55 V). Minimum FB ripple of 25 mVp-p must be maintained via C2 ESR or added R3.
What is the purpose of the ISEN pin on LM2694MTX/NOPB?
The ISEN pin on LM2694MTX/NOPB serves as the valley current sense terminal during the buck switch off-time. It sinks recirculating inductor current through an internal 180 mΩ resistor, enabling accurate 0.62 A current limit detection. This pin directly interfaces with the freewheeling diode return path and is critical for overload protection - confirmed in Pin Descriptions and Functional Description sections of SNVS444A.
Can LM2694MTX/NOPB be shut down remotely?
Yes, LM2694MTX/NOPB supports remote shutdown via the RON/SD pin. Driving this pin below 0.8 V (typical) disables the buck switch, grounds the SS pin, and reduces quiescent current to ≤180 µA. Release allows automatic resumption of normal operation. This function is explicitly documented in the Electrical Characteristics table (shutdown threshold) and Figure 11 ("Shutdown Implementation") of SNVS444A.
