Product details
Overview
LM2698MMX-ADJ/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a current-mode PWM boost regulator IC with an integrated 1.9A/0.2Ω MOSFET switch, operating from 2.2V to 12V input and delivering up to 17V output. It supports adjustable switching frequencies of 600kHz or 1.25MHz, features external compensation (VC pin), shutdown control (SHDN), and delivers 400mA at 12V from a 5V source in typical applications such as DSL modems and diagnostic instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LM2698MMX-ADJ/NOPB datasheet, LM2698MMX-ADJ/NOPB pinout, LM2698MMX-ADJ/NOPB application, or LM2698MMX-ADJ/NOPB equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed key specifications including feedback voltage (1.26V), switch RDS(ON) (0.2Ω), and thermal resistance (200°C/W), plus real-world design constraints for boost, SEPIC, and flyback topologies.
Technical Context
The LM2698MMX-ADJ/NOPB implements current-mode PWM control with internal slope compensation, enabling stable operation across 2.2V–12V input and supporting duty cycles up to 85%. Its error amplifier (transconductance 40–290 µmho, gain 120 V/V) interfaces with an external RC network on the VC pin for loop compensation, allowing use of low-ESR ceramic output capacitors.
Switching frequency is selected via FSLCT pin (ground = 600kHz, VIN = 1.25MHz), and the device includes under-voltage lockout (UVP thresholds 1.85–2.2V), thermal shutdown, and over-current protection referenced to peak switch current (1.35–2.4A). The NC pin must be grounded per layout guidance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.2V to 12V - supports single-cell Li-ion, 3.3V/5V rails, and industrial 12V inputs without pre-regulation |
| Output Voltage Range | 2.2V to 17V - adjustable via FB resistor divider; no internal reference clamp beyond feedback node |
| Switch Current Limit | 1.35A (min) to 2.4A (max) - sets maximum deliverable load current depending on VIN, duty cycle, and inductor ripple |
| Feedback Voltage | 1.2285V to 1.2915V - precise 1.26V nominal reference enables ±2.5% output regulation accuracy |
| Switch RDS(ON) | 0.2Ω (typical at VIN = 2.7V, ISW = 1A) - determines conduction loss and thermal rise at high load currents |
| Quiescent Current | 1.3mA (typical, active) / 5µA (typical, shutdown) - defines light-load efficiency and standby power budget |
| Thermal Resistance θJA | 195°C/W (with optimized PCB copper) - requires ≥0.25 in² ground plane and thermal vias for 400mA continuous output |
Pinout & Package
LM2698MMX-ADJ/NOPB uses an 8-lead VSSOP (DGK) package with 0.65mm pitch and exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected). Pin 8 (NC) must be soldered to ground for mechanical stability and EMI reduction per TI layout guidelines.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VC | Compensation network connection | Interface to external RC network for loop stability; connects to error amplifier output |
| 2 - FB | Output voltage feedback input | Senses resistive divider ratio; 1.26V reference sets VOUT = 1.26 × (1 + RFB1/RFB2) |
| 3 - SHDN | Active-low shutdown control | Pulls <0.6V to reduce quiescent current to 5µA; open-circuit or >0.9V enables operation |
| 4 - GND | Analog and power ground | Common return for feedback, compensation, and power paths; must tie to low-impedance ground plane |
| 5 - SW | Switch node | Drives external inductor/diode; carries high di/dt pulses; requires short, wide trace and local ceramic bypass |
| 6 - VIN | Analog power input | Bias supply for internal circuitry; requires 0.1µF–0.22µF ceramic capacitor placed <2mm from pin |
| 7 - FSLCT | Frequency select input | Ground = 600kHz; connect to VIN = 1.25MHz - sets minimum off-time and inductor sizing requirements |
| 8 - NC | No-connect (ground recommended) | Mechanical anchor and EMI shield; TI specifies grounding for thermal and noise performance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 1.9A/18V MOSFET switch | Eliminates external high-side switch; enables compact 5V-to-12V boost designs with ≤400mA output |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS61088RHLR | Higher 5.5A switch current, fixed 500kHz/1.2MHz frequency, no VC pin - fully integrated compensation | Preferred for >1A output or space-constrained layouts; lacks external loop tuning capability | Select when higher output current or simplified design is prioritized over loop optimization flexibility |
| LT3467EDD#TRPBF | 2.5A switch, 1.3MHz fixed frequency, integrated soft-start, no FSLCT pin - requires different compensation approach | Better suited for noise-sensitive analog systems due to spread-spectrum option; no dual-frequency selection | Choose for applications needing guaranteed EMI performance or where 1.3MHz fixed timing aligns with system clock domains |
Compared with TPS61088RHLR and LT3467EDD#TRPBF, LM2698MMX-ADJ/NOPB offers unique external compensation and dual-frequency selection for custom loop shaping and EMI mitigation, making it optimal for designs requiring precise transient response tuning or multi-rail synchronization.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage supported by the LM2698MMX-ADJ/NOPB?
The LM2698MMX-ADJ/NOPB operates down to 2.2V input, enabling direct interface with single-cell Li-ion batteries or low-voltage logic rails. At 2.2V, the device maintains regulation up to its maximum duty cycle (85%), and the internal switch RDS(ON) increases slightly but remains within specification. This minimum is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under Operating Conditions.
How does the FSLCT pin affect the LM2698MMX-ADJ/NOPB's switching frequency?
The FSLCT pin selects between two fixed switching frequencies: grounding the pin sets 600kHz operation, while connecting it to VIN selects 1.25MHz. This choice directly impacts inductor sizing (smaller at 1.25MHz), output capacitor RMS current, and EMI profile. Frequency tolerance is ±20% at 600kHz and ±25% at 1.25MHz per the Electrical Characteristics table.
Can the LM2698MMX-ADJ/NOPB be used in SEPIC topology?
Yes, the LM2698MMX-ADJ/NOPB supports SEPIC configurations as documented in Figures 21 and 22 of the datasheet. Its current-mode control, external compensation, and high-voltage switch (18V rating) allow stable operation in both step-up and step-down modes. Design requires two matched inductors and proper CSEPIC selection per TI application guidance.
What is the purpose of the NC pin on the LM2698MMX-ADJ/NOPB?
Pin 8 is designated NC (no internal connection), but Texas Instruments explicitly recommends grounding it in the Connection Diagram and Layout Considerations section. Grounding improves mechanical stability, reduces EMI susceptibility, and enhances thermal dissipation through the exposed pad - not for electrical functionality, but for robust PCB implementation.
What output voltage accuracy can be expected from the LM2698MMX-ADJ/NOPB?
The LM2698MMX-ADJ/NOPB guarantees a feedback reference voltage of 1.2285V to 1.2915V (±2.5% around 1.26V) across −40°C to +125°C. Combined with resistor divider tolerance, total output accuracy is typically ±3–4% for standard 1% FB resistors. Line regulation contributes ≤0.1%/V, and load regulation is maintained via current-mode control.
