Product details
Overview
LM2703MFX-ADJ/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a micropower step-up DC/DC converter with integrated 350mA NMOS switch, adjustable output voltage up to 21V, 2.2V–7V input range, and 400ns fixed off-time control. It delivers high efficiency in Li-Ion-powered white LED backlighting and LCD bias supplies using tiny SOT-23-5 footprint.
For engineers reviewing the LM2703MFX-ADJ/NOPB datasheet, LM2703MFX-ADJ/NOPB pinout, LM2703MFX-ADJ/NOPB application, or LM2703MFX-ADJ/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include feedback-adjustable output (1.237V reference), 0.7Ω switch RDS(ON), 0.01µA shutdown current, thermal-limited operation at 125°C junction, and compatibility with low-profile inductors like Coilcraft DT1608C-103.
Technical Context
The LM2703MFX-ADJ/NOPB employs constant off-time current-mode control with internal 350mA peak-current limiting and 400ns off-time precision. Its bandgap-based feedback comparator (1.237V ±30mV) enables stable regulation across −40°C to +125°C ambient.
Operation relies on external resistor divider (R1/R2) for output voltage setting, with FB pin bias current ≤120nA ensuring minimal divider loading. Input undervoltage lockout activates below 1.8V, and shutdown logic accepts active-low TTL-compatible control at SHDN pin.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Adjustable up to 21V via external R1/R2 divider; set by VOUT = 1.237V × (1 + R1/R2). |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.2V to 7V - supports single-cell Li-Ion (2.5V–4.2V) and 3.3V/5V rails without external LDO pre-regulation. |
| Switch Current Limit | 275–400mA typ - ensures safe energy transfer into inductor while enabling ≥4 white LEDs at 20mA each. |
| Quiescent Current | 235–300µA enabled / 40–70µA disabled - preserves battery life in always-on portable systems. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.01µA max - reduces leakage to negligible levels during system sleep modes. |
| Switch RDS(ON) | 0.7Ω typ - minimizes conduction loss in high-efficiency boost topologies at light-to-moderate loads. |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 220°C/W - defines power dissipation limit of ~114mW at 25°C ambient before reaching 125°C TJ(MAX). |
Pinout & Package
LM2703MFX-ADJ/NOPB uses a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package with 1.45mm max height, JEDEC MO-178 compliant, RoHS-compliant matte tin lead finish, and MSL Level-1 rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SW) | Switch drain node | Connects to inductor and Schottky diode anode; requires minimized trace area to reduce EMI and switching losses. |
| 2 (GND) | Power and analog ground | Must tie directly to PCB ground plane; serves as return path for switch current and feedback reference. |
| 3 (FB) | Feedback voltage input | Senses output via resistor divider; 1.237V trip point sets regulation threshold; bias current ≤120nA allows high-value dividers. |
| 4 (SHDN) | Active-low enable control | Pull below 0.3V to disable (0.01µA IQ); pull above 1.1V to enable; compatible with GPIOs and logic-level signals. |
| 5 (VIN) | Input supply input | Accepts 2.2–7V; requires local 4.7µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin per layout guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable output voltage | Configurable from ~2.5V to 21V using two external resistors - eliminates need for multiple fixed-output variants. |
| 400ns fixed off-time | Enables use of sub-2mm low-profile inductors (e.g., Coilcraft DT1608C-103) and reduces board area in space-constrained handhelds. |
| 0.01µA shutdown current | Extends battery runtime in standby mode - critical for always-on sensors and display controllers in portable devices. |
| Integrated 350mA switch | Eliminates external MOSFET and gate driver; simplifies BOM and improves reliability versus discrete boost solutions. |
| Input UVLO protection | Prevents erratic startup or brownout operation below 1.8V - ensures clean enable/disable behavior during battery discharge. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-up DC/DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS61040DRVR | Higher 28V switch rating, 0.55Ω RDS(ON), 200kHz–1MHz adjustable frequency vs. fixed 400ns off-time. | Supports higher output voltages and wider frequency tuning; less suitable for ultra-low-IQ battery-critical designs. | Choose when >21V output or programmable frequency is required; verify layout for higher-frequency EMI mitigation. |
| MAX1706ESA+ | Fixed 5V output, 2.5V–5.5V input, 300mA switch, 1.22V feedback reference, no SHDN pin. | Lacks adjustability and shutdown control; optimized for cost-sensitive fixed-rail applications only. | Select only for non-adjustable 5V boost where pin count and feature set can be reduced; not drop-in for LM2703MFX-ADJ/NOPB. |
Compared with TPS61040DRVR and MAX1706ESA+, the LM2703MFX-ADJ/NOPB provides superior micropower operation (0.01µA shutdown), precise 1.237V feedback for stable adjustable outputs, and proven compatibility with ultra-low-profile inductors-making it optimal for space- and battery-limited portable displays and sensors.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage achievable with LM2703MFX-ADJ/NOPB?
The LM2703MFX-ADJ/NOPB supports output voltages up to 21V, limited by its 22V-rated internal switch and absolute maximum SW pin voltage of 22.5V. Output is set by the external R1/R2 feedback divider using VOUT = 1.237V × (1 + R1/R2). For 20V output, typical values are R1 = 510kΩ and R2 = 33kΩ, as confirmed in TI's SNVS172F datasheet Figure 1.
How does the LM2703MFX-ADJ/NOPB achieve high efficiency at light loads?
The LM2703MFX-ADJ/NOPB achieves high light-load efficiency through its constant off-time architecture and ultra-low quiescent current (235–300µA enabled, 40–70µA disabled). When output voltage reaches regulation, the enable comparator disables the switch, reducing operating current significantly - a key advantage over fixed-frequency converters that maintain switching even at near-zero load.
Can LM2703MFX-ADJ/NOPB drive multiple white LEDs in series?
Yes, the LM2703MFX-ADJ/NOPB can drive up to four white LEDs in series from a single Li-Ion cell (2.5V–4.2V), as explicitly stated in the TI SNVS172F datasheet Applications section. With typical forward voltage of 3.2V per LED, this requires ~12.8V output - well within the device's 21V capability and supported by its 350mA peak switch current limit and low RDS(ON).
What is the recommended inductor for LM2703MFX-ADJ/NOPB in a 20V output, 15mA load application?
TI recommends Coilcraft DT1608C-103 (10µH, 330mA saturation current) or Murata LQY33PN100M02 (10µH, low-profile) for 20V output applications with LM2703MFX-ADJ/NOPB, as specified in the datasheet's Application Information and Layout Considerations sections. These inductors meet the 10µH value derived from the off-time equation and support the required peak current without saturation.
Does LM2703MFX-ADJ/NOPB include input undervoltage lockout, and what is its threshold?
Yes, the LM2703MFX-ADJ/NOPB includes input undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with a turn-on threshold of 1.8V (typical), as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This prevents unstable operation during battery discharge and ensures clean startup when VIN rises above the UVLO hysteresis band, improving system reliability in portable Li-Ion applications.
