Product details
Overview
LM2700MT-ADJ from Texas Instruments is a pin-selectable-frequency, adjustable-output boost DC/DC converter with an integrated 3.6A/80mΩ NMOS switch, operating from 2.2V to 12V input and delivering up to 17.5V output. It supports 600kHz or 1.25MHz switching, features internal overtemperature and input undervoltage protection, and targets LCD bias generation in portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the LM2700MT-ADJ datasheet, LM2700MT-ADJ pinout, LM2700MT-ADJ application, or LM2700MT-ADJ equivalent, key selection criteria include its adjustable feedback threshold (1.26V), dual-frequency selectability via FSLCT pin, continuous conduction mode operation, thermal shutdown behavior, and TSSOP-14 package layout constraints for high-current SW/PGND routing.
Technical Context
The LM2700MT-ADJ implements current-mode PWM control with a dedicated VC compensation pin enabling external RC/CC network tuning for stability across load and duty-cycle variations. Its architecture includes ramp compensation to suppress subharmonic oscillation above 50% duty cycle and integrates separate AGND and PGND pins to isolate analog sensing from power-switch noise.
It delivers regulated output using a resistor divider on FB referenced to a precise 1.26V internal bandgap, supports shutdown with 5µA quiescent current, and maintains stable operation under input transients via built-in UVP with 2.0V ±0.1V thresholds and OVP clamping at no-load conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.2V to 12V - supports single Li-ion, multi-cell alkaline, or USB-powered systems without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage Range | Adjustable up to 17.5V - set via external resistor divider on FB pin; enables TFT LCD VGH/VGL bias generation. |
| Switch Current Limit | 2.55A to 4.3A (typ. 3.6A) - defines maximum inductor peak current and short-circuit robustness. |
| Switch RDS(ON) | 80mΩ (typ.) at VIN = 2.7V - determines conduction loss and thermal rise under full load. |
| Quiescent Current | 2.0mA (600kHz), 3.0mA (1.25MHz) - sets light-load efficiency floor and battery runtime impact. |
| Feedback Voltage | 1.2285V to 1.2915V (typ. 1.26V) - precision reference for output regulation accuracy and line/load transient response. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at ~150°C junction temperature - protects die during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
LM2700MT-ADJ is supplied in a 14-lead TSSOP package (MT suffix per TI ordering nomenclature), with exposed thermal pad for enhanced heat dissipation. Pin 1 is VC; pins 5–7 and 8–10 are dedicated PGND and SW terminals respectively to minimize loop inductance and voltage spikes.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VC) | Compensation network connection | Connects to error amplifier output; external RC/CC network here sets dominant pole-zero pair for loop stability. |
| 2 (FB) | Output voltage feedback input | Senses divided output voltage; internal 1.26V reference sets regulation point; high-impedance node requiring short trace routing. |
| 3 (SHDN) | Active-low shutdown control | Pulls <0.6V to enter 5µA shutdown; >0.9V to enable operation; compatible with logic-level microcontrollers. |
| 4 (AGND) | Analog ground reference | Reference for FB, VC, and internal bandgap; must tie directly to PGND at package to avoid noise coupling. |
| 5–7 (PGND) | Power ground return | Low-impedance return path for switch current; all three pins must be connected together at the IC footprint. |
| 8–10 (SW) | Switch node connection | Drives external inductor; high di/dt node requiring minimized trace area and proximity to PGND pins. |
| 11 (NC) | No internal connection | Not bonded; leave unconnected or float; avoid routing signals nearby to prevent parasitic coupling. |
| 12 (VIN) | Analog power input | Supplies internal circuitry and gate drive; requires local 10µF+ low-ESR ceramic bypass capacitor. |
| 13 (FSLCT) | Frequency select input | GND = 600kHz, VIN = 1.25MHz; sets oscillator frequency and impacts inductor size, EMI profile, and light-load efficiency. |
| 14 (NC) | Internally grounded terminal | TI recommends connecting to system ground; improves thermal performance and reduces EMI susceptibility. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM27313SDX/NOPB | Higher 1.6MHz fixed frequency; 1.2A switch; smaller 6-pin WSON package; no VC pin for external compensation. | Better suited for ultra-compact, low-power applications where board space is constrained and output current ≤1.2A. | Select when footprint reduction and simplified layout outweigh need for adjustable frequency or external loop tuning. |
| TPS61088RHLR | 10A switch; 2.5V–12V input; 4.5V–18.5V output; integrated soft-start; higher efficiency at >1A loads. | Targets high-current applications like multi-display systems or industrial HMIs requiring >2.5A output. | Choose when output current demand exceeds 2.5A or when integrated soft-start and lower RDS(ON) are required for thermal margin. |
Compared with LM2700MT-ADJ, LM27313SDX/NOPB offers smaller size and higher frequency but sacrifices current capability and compensation flexibility, while TPS61088RHLR provides greater output current and integration at the cost of larger package and higher BOM cost-making LM2700MT-ADJ optimal for mid-power, thermally constrained LCD bias designs requiring design adaptability.

FAQ
What is the recommended inductor value for LM2700MT-ADJ operating at 600kHz?
A 4.7µH inductor is recommended for most 600kHz applications per TI's design guidelines. This value ensures stable continuous conduction mode operation across typical input/output combinations (e.g., 3.3V to 8V), avoids subharmonic oscillation, and balances size versus efficiency. For higher duty cycles approaching 85%, TI advises increasing inductance up to 2× to maintain loop stability.
How does the FSLCT pin affect LM2700MT-ADJ performance in real-world layouts?
The FSLCT pin directly selects switching frequency: grounding it configures LM2700MT-ADJ for 600kHz operation, while tying it to VIN selects 1.25MHz. At 1.25MHz, layout demands tighter control of SW/PGND loop area and shorter traces to manage higher di/dt-induced EMI; at 600kHz, larger inductors reduce core loss but require more board space. Both modes retain identical regulation accuracy and protection features.
Can LM2700MT-ADJ safely drive a 17.5V output into a 100mA load from a 2.7V input?
Yes - LM2700MT-ADJ supports output voltages up to 17.5V with input as low as 2.2V. At VIN = 2.7V and VOUT = 17.5V, the required duty cycle is ~85%, which remains within the device's specified 78–85% maximum range. The internal 3.6A switch and 80mΩ RDS(ON) provide ample headroom for 100mA output current, and thermal shutdown ensures safe operation even under worst-case ambient conditions.
What is the function of the VC pin on LM2700MT-ADJ, and why is external compensation necessary?
VC is the voltage error amplifier output pin used to connect an external RC/CC compensation network. External compensation is necessary because LM2700MT-ADJ's current-mode architecture introduces a right-half-plane zero that limits phase margin; the RC/CC network places a dominant pole and zero to stabilize the control loop across varying output capacitance, ESR, and load conditions - especially critical for ceramic capacitors with near-zero ESR.
Does LM2700MT-ADJ require separate AGND and PGND connections on the PCB, and what happens if they are tied remotely?
Yes - LM2700MT-ADJ mandates separate AGND and PGND pins tied together *only at the IC package*, not at a remote star ground. If AGND and PGND are joined remotely, high di/dt switching currents flowing through PGND traces induce voltage spikes onto AGND, corrupting FB and VC references. This causes output regulation drift, increased ripple, and potential instability - TI explicitly warns against this in Layout Considerations section of the datasheet.
