Product details
Overview
LM2704MF-ADJ/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a micropower step-up DC/DC converter with an integrated 550mA peak-current-limited NMOS switch, adjustable output voltage up to 20V, 2.2V–7V input range, and 0.01µA shutdown current. It operates in a 5-lead SOT-23 package and is used in space-constrained white LED backlighting and LCD bias supplies powered by single Li-Ion batteries.
For engineers reviewing the LM2704MF-ADJ/NOPB datasheet, LM2704MF-ADJ/NOPB pinout, LM2704MF-ADJ/NOPB application, or LM2704MF-ADJ/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include feedback-set output adjustability, 400ns fixed off-time control for low-profile inductor compatibility, 0.7Ω switch RDS(ON), input undervoltage lockout at 1.8V, and thermal performance with θJA = 220°C/W.
Technical Context
The LM2704MF-ADJ/NOPB uses a constant off-time (COT) control architecture with internal bandgap reference and enable comparator. Output regulation is achieved via FB pin feedback with 1.237V trip point and 8mV hysteresis, enabling stable operation across load transients without external compensation.
Its 550mA current-limited NMOS switch features 0.7Ω typical RDS(ON) and supports up to 20.5V SW node voltage. Shutdown is active-low on SHDN pin (thresholds: 0.3V low, 1.1V high), reducing quiescent current to 0.01µA while maintaining diode-drop output decay behavior.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage Range | Adjustable up to 20V via external resistor divider on FB pin - enables flexible bias generation for LCD panels and multi-LED strings. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.2V to 7.0V - supports direct operation from single-cell Li-Ion (2.7–4.2V), NiMH, or alkaline sources without pre-regulation. |
| Switch Current Limit | 490–610mA (typ. 550mA) - sets maximum inductor peak current and defines power delivery capability under short-circuit or startup conditions. |
| Quiescent Current | 235–300µA (enabled), 0.01µA (shutdown) - ensures ultra-low standby power for battery longevity in portable devices. |
| Switch RDS(ON) | 0.7Ω (typ.), 1.6Ω (max) - minimizes conduction loss and improves efficiency at light-to-moderate loads. |
| Off-Time | 400ns (fixed) - enables use of sub-2.2mm height inductors and reduces minimum required inductance for compact layouts. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.189–1.269V (typ. 1.237V) - defines output accuracy and stability margin; hysteresis of 8mV prevents oscillation near regulation threshold. |
Pinout & Package
LM2704MF-ADJ/NOPB is housed in a RoHS-compliant, green, 5-lead SOT-23 (DBV) package with 1.45mm max height, JEDEC MO-178 compliant footprint, and Q3 pin 1 quadrant orientation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - SW | Switch Drain Node | Connects to inductor and Schottky diode anode; high dv/dt node requiring minimized trace area to reduce EMI. |
| 2 - GND | Power & Analog Ground | Single ground connection point; must tie directly to PCB ground plane to ensure stable reference and minimize noise coupling. |
| 3 - FB | Feedback Input | Senses output voltage via resistor divider; 30–120nA bias current requires low-impedance network and AGND tie to GND pin. |
| 4 - SHDN | Shutdown Control | Active-low logic input; <0.3V disables device (0.01µA IQ), >1.1V enables operation; internal pull-down not provided. |
| 5 - VIN | Input Supply | Accepts 2.2–7V input; requires local 4.7µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin to suppress input ripple and ESR-related losses. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Micropower Operation | 235–300µA operating IQ and 0.01µA shutdown current extend battery life in always-on or intermittent-use portable systems. |
| Adjustable Output | FB pin enables precise output setting from ~2.5V to 20V using standard resistor values - eliminates need for multiple fixed-output variants. |
| Integrated Power Switch | 550mA current-limited, 0.7Ω NMOS switch reduces BOM count and layout complexity versus external-FET boost controllers. |
| Fixed 400ns Off-Time | Enables consistent switching frequency scaling with input/output ratio; supports tiny inductors (e.g., 1–4.7µH, 2.2mm × 1.4mm) for ultra-thin designs. |
| Input UVLO | 1.8V undervoltage lockout prevents erratic startup and protects battery from deep discharge during weak-cell conditions. |

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, 400mA limit, 2.5–6V input, 2.5µA shutdown current - lacks UVLO hysteresis and has higher operating IQ (500µA). | Better suited for 24V output designs but less optimal for ultra-low-power Li-Ion LED apps due to higher IQ. | Select when higher output voltage headroom or tighter input regulation is required; verify FB network compatibility. |
| MAX680ESA+ | Charge-pump topology (not inductive), fixed 5V/±5V outputs, no adjustable FB, 120µA IQ, 100mA output - limited to low-current, low-voltage dual-rail needs. | Only viable for sub-100mA, non-adjustable, dual-rail applications where inductor-free design is mandatory. | Choose only if inductor elimination outweighs efficiency and voltage flexibility trade-offs; not suitable for LED driving or >12V outputs. |
Compared with TPS61040DRVR and MAX680ESA+, the LM2704MF-ADJ/NOPB offers superior micropower operation (0.01µA shutdown), precise FB-based adjustability, and optimized 550mA/0.7Ω switch for medium-current LED and LCD bias - making it the preferred choice for space- and battery-constrained 2.2–7V input systems requiring up to 20V output.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage achievable with the LM2704MF-ADJ/NOPB?
The LM2704MF-ADJ/NOPB supports adjustable output voltages up to 20V, as confirmed by its 21V-rated internal switch and absolute maximum SW voltage rating of 21V. This is achieved using an external resistor divider on the FB pin, with the feedback reference voltage fixed at 1.237V (typical). The actual maximum usable output depends on input voltage, load, and component selection - for example, generating 20V from a 3.0V input requires careful inductor and diode selection to maintain stability and efficiency. The LM2704MF-ADJ/NOPB datasheet specifies 20.5V as the maximum SW node voltage under operating conditions.
How does the LM2704MF-ADJ/NOPB achieve high efficiency at light loads?
The LM2704MF-ADJ/NOPB achieves high light-load efficiency through its micropower design: it draws only 235–300µA quiescent current when enabled and drops to just 0.01µA in shutdown. Its constant off-time control scheme reduces switching losses at low duty cycles, and the 0.7Ω (typ.) RDS(ON) of the internal NMOS switch minimizes conduction loss. Additionally, the device enters burst-mode-like operation when the FB pin reaches regulation - disabling the switch and reducing IQ to ~40µA until output droop triggers reactivation. This behavior is intrinsic to the LM2704MF-ADJ/NOPB's enable comparator and bandgap reference architecture.
Can the LM2704MF-ADJ/NOPB drive 8 white LEDs in series from a single Li-Ion cell?
Yes, the LM2704MF-ADJ/NOPB is explicitly rated for driving up to 8 white LEDs in series from a single Li-Ion battery (2.7–4.2V), as stated in its official applications list and typical circuit examples. With a typical forward voltage of ~3.2V per LED, 8 LEDs require ~25.6V - however, the LM2704MF-ADJ/NOPB's 20V maximum output means this assumes lower-VF LEDs (e.g., ~2.5V) or partial-string configurations. TI's application note confirms reliable operation at 15–20V output with 15–20mA LED current, achieving >80% efficiency. The LM2704MF-ADJ/NOPB's 550mA peak switch current and 400ns off-time ensure sufficient energy transfer for stable LED current regulation.
What is the purpose of the SHDN pin on the LM2704MF-ADJ/NOPB, and what voltage levels activate it?
The SHDN pin on the LM2704MF-ADJ/NOPB is an active-low shutdown control input that reduces quiescent current to 0.01µA when asserted. It activates shutdown when pulled below 0.3V (max) and enables normal operation when held above 1.1V (min); voltages between 0.3V and 1.1V result in undefined behavior. No internal pull-up or pull-down is provided, so an external logic signal or resistor divider must drive the pin decisively. During shutdown, the output decays to approximately VIN minus one Schottky diode drop. This functionality is fully characterized in the LM2704MF-ADJ/NOPB Electrical Characteristics table under "SHDN Threshold" parameters.
Is the LM2704MF-ADJ/NOPB compatible with ceramic output capacitors, and what value is recommended?
Yes, the LM2704MF-ADJ/NOPB is fully compatible with multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) on the output, and TI explicitly recommends them for minimizing output voltage ripple due to their low ESR. A 1µF ceramic capacitor is sufficient for most applications, though increasing capacitance (e.g., to 2.2–4.7µF) further reduces ripple - especially under dynamic load conditions. The LM2704MF-ADJ/NOPB's control loop is stable with ceramic output caps and does not require ESR-based damping. Layout best practices specify placing COUT as close as possible to the SW and GND pins to minimize parasitic inductance, a requirement confirmed in the LM2704MF-ADJ/NOPB layout guidelines.
