Product details
Overview
LM2694SD/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 30V, 600 mA step-down switching regulator with integrated N-channel buck switch and constant-on-time control architecture. It operates from 8V to 30V input, delivers adjustable output voltage via resistor divider feedback (2.5 V reference), and features valley current limit at 0.62 A - used in high-voltage POL supplies for telecom and industrial power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LM2694SD/NOPB datasheet, LM2694SD/NOPB pinout, LM2694SD/NOPB application, or LM2694SD/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (8–30 V), no-loop-compensation design, thermal shutdown (175 °C), WSON-10 package with exposed pad, and RON/SD programmable on-time control.
Technical Context
The LM2694SD/NOPB employs a constant-on-time control scheme where on-time is set by VIN and an external RON resistor, enabling stable switching frequency across line and load variations. Its regulation relies on a 2.5 V internal reference compared at the FB pin, with no external compensation required.
Current limiting occurs during off-time via ISEN pin sensing, with nominal threshold of 0.62 A and 180 mΩ internal sense resistance. The device integrates a startup regulator (VCC = 7.0 V ±0.4 V), gate drive UVLO (4.4 V typical), and soft-start controlled by internal 12 µA current source charging SS pin capacitor to 2.5 V.
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 | Up to 600 mA - continuous load capability limited by valley current limit of 0.62 A. |
| Switching Frequency | ~1 MHz max - determined by VIN and RON; remains stable across load and input variation. |
| Feedback Reference | 2.500 V ±60 mV - sets output voltage via R1/R2 divider; enables precise adjustable regulation. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 175 °C activation - protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking in compact layouts. |
| VCC Regulator | 7.0 V ±0.4 V - powers internal circuitry; externally bypassed with ≥0.1 µF ceramic capacitor. |
| Soft-Start Current | 12 µA - charges external SS capacitor linearly for controlled output ramp-up. |
Pinout & Package
LM2694SD/NOPB is packaged in a thermally enhanced 10-pin WSON (3 mm × 3 mm) with exposed pad (EP), optimized for high-power density and PCB heat dissipation. Pin 1 is SW; pin 10 is VIN; EP must be connected to PCB ground plane.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW | Switching Node | Source of internal N-channel buck switch; connects to inductor, bootstrap capacitor (C4), and freewheeling diode. |
| BST | Bootstrap Supply | Charged from SW via internal diode during off-time; powers high-side gate driver using 0.022 µF capacitor to SW. |
| ISEN | Current Sense Output | Sinks recirculating inductor current during off-time; triggers valley current limit when >0.62 A flows out. |
| SGND | Current Sense Ground | Return path for ISEN current; separate from RTN to avoid noise coupling into current sensing. |
| RTN | Circuit Ground | Main ground return for internal logic, regulation comparators, and VCC regulator - not shared with ISEN path. |
| FB | Voltage Feedback Input | Compares output-derived voltage to 2.5 V reference; requires ≥25 mVpp ripple for stable operation. |
| SS | Soft-Start Control | Internally charged to 2.5 V via 12 µA current source; ramps reference to prevent inrush and overshoot. |
| RON/SD | On-Time Set / Shutdown | Resistor from VIN sets on-time; grounding disables regulator and discharges SS pin. |
| VCC | Startup Regulator Output | 7.0 V regulated supply for internal circuits; can be externally biased to reduce dissipation. |
| VIN | Main Input Supply | Accepts 8–30 V; powers both buck switch and internal start-up regulator; requires local 0.1 µF bypass. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No loop compensation required | Enables stable regulation with fast transient response and simplified BOM - eliminates external compensation network. |
| Valley current limit at 0.62 A | Provides smooth transition to constant-current mode under overload, avoiding foldback and maintaining predictable shutdown behavior. |
| Constant on-time control | Maintains stable switching frequency across input voltage (8–30 V) and load changes - simplifies EMI filtering design. |
| Integrated start-up regulator | Generates 7.0 V VCC directly from VIN up to 30 V - eliminates need for external bias supply in high-input applications. |
| Thermally enhanced WSON-10 | θJA = 33 °C/W (0 LFPM); exposed pad improves thermal performance in space-constrained industrial PCBs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2694MM/NOPB | TSSOP-14 package (θJA = 40 °C/W); same electrical specs and pinout mapping except NC pins differ. | Less thermally efficient than WSON-10; preferred only when board layout requires through-hole or legacy TSSOP footprint. | Select LM2694MM/NOPB only if mechanical compatibility with existing TSSOP-14 land pattern is required. |
| TPS54202DRLR | 2.5–17 V input; 2 A output; integrated FETs; uses voltage-mode control with external compensation. | Lower input voltage ceiling and higher current rating - unsuitable for 24–30 V telecom rails but better for 12 V embedded systems. | Choose TPS54202DRLR for lower-input, higher-current applications where compensation flexibility is needed. |
Compared with LM2694MM/NOPB, LM2694SD/NOPB offers superior thermal performance (33 vs. 40 °C/W) in a smaller 3×3 mm footprint; versus TPS54202DRLR, it supports higher input voltage (30 V vs. 17 V) and eliminates compensation components but delivers lower output current (0.6 A vs. 2 A).

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM2694SD/NOPB?
The absolute maximum input voltage (VIN to RTN) for LM2694SD/NOPB is 33 V, with recommended operating range of 8 V to 30 V. Exceeding 33 V risks permanent damage. The device includes internal protection against overvoltage transients common in industrial and telecom environments, but sustained operation above 30 V is not specified or guaranteed.
Does LM2694SD/NOPB require external compensation components?
No, LM2694SD/NOPB does not require external compensation components. Its constant-on-time control architecture eliminates the need for loop compensation networks, simplifying design and improving load transient response. Stability is inherently maintained across input voltage (8–30 V) and load conditions without adding resistors or capacitors to the feedback path.
How is output voltage set on LM2694SD/NOPB?
Output voltage on LM2694SD/NOPB is set using a resistor divider (R1 and R2) from VOUT to FB and FB to RTN. The formula is VOUT = 2.5 V × (R1 + R2)/R2. For example, equal 2.5 kΩ resistors yield 5 V output. The FB pin has <1 nA bias current, minimizing divider error, and requires ≥25 mVpp ripple for proper regulation.
What is the purpose of the RON/SD pin on LM2694SD/NOPB?
The RON/SD pin on LM2694SD/NOPB serves dual functions: connecting an external resistor (RON) from VIN sets the buck switch on-time, thereby determining operating frequency; grounding this pin forces shutdown - disabling the regulator, discharging the SS capacitor, and reducing quiescent current to ~180 µA. A rising voltage >0.8 V releases shutdown.
Can LM2694SD/NOPB operate in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM)?
Yes, LM2694SD/NOPB automatically operates in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) at light loads. In DCM, inductor current falls to zero during part of the switching cycle, lowering operating frequency and maintaining high efficiency. The device regulates correctly in both continuous and discontinuous modes, with no mode-change circuitry or configuration required - behavior is inherent to its constant-on-time architecture.
