Product details
Overview
LM2705MFX-ADJ from Texas Instruments is a micropower step-up DC-DC converter in a 5-pin SOT-23 package, delivering up to 20 V output with 150-mA peak switch current, 0.7-Ω internal NMOS switch, and 400-ns fixed off-time control. It operates from 2.2 V to 7 V input-ideal for single-cell Li-Ion battery-powered LCD bias and white-LED backlighting.
For engineers reviewing the LM2705MFX-ADJ datasheet, LM2705MFX-ADJ pinout, LM2705MFX-ADJ application, or LM2705MFX-ADJ equivalent, key selection criteria include adjustable 20-V output capability, ultra-low 0.01-µA shutdown current, input undervoltage lockout at 1.8 V, and compatibility with tiny surface-mount inductors (e.g., 33 µH) and ceramic capacitors in space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The LM2705MFX-ADJ uses a constant off-time (COT) control architecture with a 400-ns fixed off-time and current-limited switching, enabling high light-load efficiency and stable operation across wide input (2.2–7 V) and temperature (–40°C to 125°C) ranges. Its feedback comparator trips at 1.237 V with ±8 mV hysteresis, and the internal 150-mA peak-current-limited NMOS switch features 0.7 Ω RDS(ON) at room temperature.
Shutdown is controlled via an active-low SHDN pin with 0.3 V low threshold and 1.1 V high threshold; in shutdown, quiescent current drops to 0.01 µA and output voltage decays to VIN minus diode drop. The device integrates undervoltage lockout (UVP) and requires external resistor divider (R1/R2) for output voltage setting per VOUT = 1.237 × (1 + R1/R2).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.2 V to 7 V - supports single Li-Ion (2.5–4.2 V) and multi-alkaline (2–4 cells) battery inputs without external regulation. |
| Output Voltage | Adjustable up to 20 V - set externally via FB pin resistor divider; enables LCD bias and multi-LED string drive from low-input sources. |
| Peak Switch Current Limit | 150 mA - defines maximum inductor energy transfer per cycle; constrains max load current and thermal design in boost topology. |
| Switch RDS(ON) | 0.7 Ω (typ.) - determines conduction loss and thermal rise under load; impacts efficiency at medium-to-high output currents. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.01 µA - enables ultra-low-power standby in battery-critical applications like handhelds and digital cameras. |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 1.237 V ±31 mV - sets output accuracy and stability; used with external resistors to configure precise VOUT over temperature. |
| Switch Off-Time | 400 ns - fixes minimum energy transfer interval; enables use of small inductors (e.g., 33 µH) and reduces board area. |
Pinout & Package
LM2705MFX-ADJ is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package measuring 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm, optimized for compact portable PCB layouts and reflow-compatible assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - SW | Switch Drain Node | Connects to inductor and Schottky diode anode; high dv/dt node requiring minimal trace area to reduce EMI radiation. |
| 2 - GND | Power & Analog Ground | Must tie directly to ground plane; serves as return path for switch current and reference for FB/SHDN logic thresholds. |
| 3 - FB | Voltage Feedback Input | Senses output via resistor divider; trip point at 1.237 V enables precise output programming and regulates against load/line variation. |
| 4 - SHDN | Active-Low Enable Control | Drives <0.3 V to disable (0.01 µA IQ); drives >1.1 V to enable; open-drain compatible with microcontroller GPIO. |
| 5 - VIN | Input Power Supply | Accepts 2.2–7 V analog and power input; requires local 4.7-µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Micropower Operation | 235 µA typical operating IQ enables >100-hour runtime on coin-cell batteries in intermittent-use applications. |
| Fixed Off-Time Control | 400-ns off-time ensures predictable switching frequency scaling with load, simplifying EMI filtering and inductor selection. |
| Integrated 150-mA Switch | 0.7-Ω NMOS eliminates external MOSFET and gate driver, reducing BOM count and layout complexity in space-sensitive designs. |
| Input UVLO Protection | 1.8-V turn-on threshold prevents erratic startup and brownout operation during Li-Ion discharge below 2.5 V. |
| Small SOT-23 Package | 5-pin DBV footprint (2.9 × 1.6 mm) allows placement near battery connectors or display modules without sacrificing routing space. |
Applications

Use Value: Delivers up to 8 mA at 12 V with >85% efficiency at 5 mA load; 400-ns off-time minimizes inductor size and audible noise. |
| Handheld Devices | Digital Cameras |
Use Scenario: Powering auxiliary rails (e.g., 5 V for USB interface, 12 V for flash memory programming) in barcode scanners or medical pens. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standby-capable boost converter activated on-demand by host MCU via SHDN pin; maintains fast wake-up (<100 µs). Use Value: 0.01-µA shutdown current preserves battery during weeks of idle time; 2.2-V start-up supports aging battery operation down to 2.3 V. | Use Scenario: Supplying 12 V for CCD/CMOS sensor bias and flash LED charging in compact point-and-shoot cameras. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-efficiency boost stage feeding charge pump or LDO; operates across full battery range (4.2 → 2.8 V) with <10% output droop. Use Value: 150-mA peak current limit safely handles flash LED surge loads; small SOT-23 footprint fits tight camera module layouts. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS61022DRVR | Higher 2-A switch current, 2.5-V min input, integrated soft-start; requires larger 2-mm × 2-mm WSON package. | Better suited for higher-current LED strings (>20 mA) or powering 3.3-V logic from Li-Ion; not optimal for ultra-low-IQ standby. | Select TPS61022DRVR when >15 mA output current or integrated soft-start is required; LM2705MFX-ADJ remains preferred for sub-10 mA, ultra-low-power roles. |
| MAX17222ETA+ | Lower 1.8-V min input, 1.2-µA shutdown IQ, but only 500-mA peak current and fixed 3.3/5.0 V outputs (non-adjustable). | Ideal for always-on sensors or wearables needing deeper battery savings; lacks adjustable 20-V capability for LCD/LED bias. | Choose MAX17222ETA+ for fixed-output, ultra-low-IQ applications; LM2705MFX-ADJ is necessary where programmable high-voltage output is mandatory. |
Compared with TPS61022DRVR and MAX17222ETA+, the LM2705MFX-ADJ uniquely balances 20-V adjustability, 150-mA capability, and 0.01-µA shutdown in a 2.9-mm footprint-making it irreplaceable for compact, high-voltage, battery-sensitive designs where neither higher current nor deeper sleep alone suffices.

FAQ
What is the recommended inductor value for LM2705MFX-ADJ in a 20-V output application?
The LM2705MFX-ADJ datasheet specifies a 68-µH inductor for 20-V output with Li-Ion input (2.5–4.2 V), balancing low ripple current and high light-load efficiency. For 12-V output, 33-µH is typical. Inductor saturation current must exceed peak switch current (150 mA), and DCR should be minimized to preserve efficiency. Coilcraft DT1608C and TDK SLF6020T series are validated choices per TI application notes.
How does the LM2705MFX-ADJ achieve adjustable output voltage?
The LM2705MFX-ADJ uses a resistor divider (R1/R2) connected between VOUT, FB, and GND to set output voltage per the equation VOUT = 1.237 V × (1 + R1/R2). For example, R1 = 510 kΩ and R2 = 33 kΩ yields ~20 V. The FB pin draws only 30 nA bias current, minimizing divider power loss and ensuring stable regulation across temperature.
What is the absolute maximum SW pin voltage rating for LM2705MFX-ADJ?
The absolute maximum SW pin voltage for LM2705MFX-ADJ is 21 V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This allows safe operation with output voltages up to 20.5 V, accommodating diode forward drop and transient overshoot. Exceeding 21 V risks permanent damage to the internal NMOS switch and is strictly prohibited in design.
Can LM2705MFX-ADJ drive three white LEDs in series from a single Li-Ion cell?
Yes, the LM2705MFX-ADJ can drive up to three white LEDs in series from a single Li-Ion cell (2.5–4.2 V), delivering up to 8 mA at 12 V with >85% efficiency. TI's Figure 20 shows this configuration using a 33-µH inductor, 1-µF COUT, and appropriate feedback resistors. Peak switch current remains within the 150-mA limit, and the 400-ns off-time ensures stable operation even at low input voltages.
What is the thermal performance of LM2705MFX-ADJ in its SOT-23 package?
The LM2705MFX-ADJ in SOT-23 (DBV) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 164.9°C/W. At 125°C max junction temperature and 25°C ambient, the maximum allowable power dissipation is 607 mW. In typical 8-mA/12-V operation, power loss is ~120 mW, resulting in ~20°C junction rise-well within safe limits with standard PCB copper pour.
