Product details
Overview
LM2717MT from Texas Instruments is a dual synchronous step-down DC/DC converter IC integrating two independent buck regulators: one fixed 3.3V/2.2A output and one adjustable 1.267V–20V/3.2A output, operating from 4V–20V input with pin-selectable 300–600kHz switching frequency. It delivers high-efficiency power conversion for space-constrained portable electronics requiring tightly regulated dual-rail supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LM2717MT datasheet, LM2717MT pinout, LM2717MT application, or LM2717MT equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed dual-buck architecture details, real-world efficiency curves, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for system-level power supply design and BOM optimization.
Technical Context
The LM2717MT implements two independent current-mode PWM buck regulators sharing a common input voltage domain but featuring separate shutdown (SHDN1/SHDN2), soft-start (SS1/SS2), feedback (FB1/FB2), and compensation (VC1/VC2) networks. Each regulator uses a 0.16Ω internal N-channel MOSFET switch and supports continuous conduction mode operation across its full load range.
It integrates dedicated protection circuitry including input undervoltage lockout (UVP, 3.3–4.0V threshold), overtemperature shutdown (150°C junction limit), and per-regulator current limiting (2.2A fixed / 3.2A adjustable). Frequency selection via FSLCT resistor enables precise EMI control without external clock synchronization.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4V to 20V - supports wide-input industrial and battery-powered systems including 5V, 12V, and 19V rails. |
| Fixed Output Voltage | 3.3V ±0% - internally trimmed reference eliminates external resistor divider for primary rail. |
| Adjustable Output Range | 1.267V to 20V - set by FB2 feedback divider; minimum 1.267V matches internal bandgap reference. |
| Switch Current Limits | 2.2A (fixed buck), 3.2A (adjustable buck) - peak current limits defined at 0% duty cycle, ensuring robust overload handling. |
| Switching Frequency | 300kHz to 600kHz - resistor-programmable via FSLCT pin; enables trade-off between efficiency and component size. |
| RDS(ON) | 160mΩ (both switches) - low on-resistance minimizes conduction loss and thermal rise under full load. |
| Operating Junction Temp | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for extended-temperature industrial and embedded applications. |
Pinout & Package
LM2717MT is housed in a 24-lead TSSOP package (PW0024A), 7.8mm × 4.4mm × 1.2mm profile, RoHS-compliant with Sn lead finish and MSL Level-1 rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| 13,SW2 | Adjustable Buck Switch Node | High-side switch output; connects to inductor and Schottky diode anode for buck topology. |
| 14,15,23,VIN | Input Power Supply | Common analog/digital input rail; all VIN pins must be shorted together at PCB for low-impedance path. |
| 16,CB2 | Adjustable Buck Bootstrap | Supplies gate drive voltage for high-side NMOS; requires ≥4.7nF ceramic capacitor. |
| 17,SHDN2 | Adjustable Buck Shutdown | Active-low enable; logic-high (>1.36V) enables regulator; open-circuit defaults to enabled. |
| 18,SS2 | Adjustable Buck Soft-Start | Controls startup ramp time via external capacitor; ISS2 = 4–15µA charges CSS for controlled VOUT rise. |
| 19,FSLCT | Frequency Select | Resistor-to-ground sets oscillator frequency: 46.4kΩ → 300kHz, 22.6kΩ → 600kHz. |
| 20,SS1 | Fixed Buck Soft-Start | Independent soft-start for 3.3V rail; same ISS1 current range (4–15µA) as SS2. |
| 21,SHDN1 | Fixed Buck Shutdown | Active-low enable for 3.3V regulator; identical threshold and behavior to SHDN2. |
| 22,CB1 | Fixed Buck Bootstrap | Bootstrap for first buck's high-side switch; requires same capacitor type and value as CB2. |
| 24,SW1 | Fixed Buck Switch Node | Switch output for 3.3V regulator; connects to inductor and diode in standard buck configuration. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent buck regulation | Enables simultaneous generation of fixed 3.3V and user-adjustable rail (e.g., 5V, 12V, 15V) from single input without cross-regulation interference. |
| Per-regulator shutdown and soft-start | Allows staggered power-up sequencing, inrush current limiting, and dynamic rail disabling-critical for low-power states in portable devices. |
| 0.16Ω internal MOSFET switches | Reduces conduction loss and thermal dissipation, enabling >90% efficiency at mid-load (e.g., 5V@2A, VIN=12V) without external FETs. |
| 300–600kHz programmable frequency | Supports optimized inductor/capacitor sizing: lower frequency improves light-load efficiency; higher frequency shrinks passive components. |
| Integrated UVP, OVP, and thermal shutdown | Protects downstream circuitry during brown-out, no-load overvoltage, or thermal overload-eliminates need for discrete protection ICs. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the LM2717MT?
The LM2717MT supports an absolute maximum input voltage of 22V, with guaranteed operational performance across 4V to 20V. Exceeding 20V may trigger undervoltage protection or cause permanent damage. The device's internal switches and gate drivers are rated for 20V continuous operation, and the FSLCT, SHDN, and SS pins tolerate up to 7.5V, ensuring robustness in transient-rich environments typical of automotive or industrial 12V/19V rails.
Does the LM2717MT require external MOSFETs for operation?
No, the LM2717MT does not require external MOSFETs. It integrates two high-side N-channel MOSFET switches with 160mΩ RDS(ON) - one for the fixed 3.3V buck and one for the adjustable buck - eliminating the need for external power transistors. Only external passive components (inductors, capacitors, feedback resistors, bootstrap capacitors, and frequency-setting resistors) are required to complete both regulator circuits.
How is the adjustable output voltage set on the LM2717MT?
The adjustable output voltage on the LM2717MT is set using a resistor divider connected to the FB2 pin, referenced to the internal 1.267V bandgap (VBG). The formula is VOUT = 1.267V × (1 + RFB1/RFB2). For example, a 5V output requires RFB1 = 20kΩ and RFB2 = 6.8kΩ. The FB2 pin bias current is only 65nA, minimizing divider current error and enabling high-impedance, low-power setting networks.
Can both buck regulators on the LM2717MT be operated simultaneously?
Yes, both buck regulators on the LM2717MT can operate simultaneously and independently. They share only the VIN and ground connections; each has dedicated control loops (FB1/VC1 and FB2/VC2), shutdown pins (SHDN1/SHDN2), soft-start pins (SS1/SS2), and switch nodes (SW1/SW2). This independence prevents cross-regulation and allows asynchronous start-up, dynamic rail disabling, and different output voltages - essential for multi-domain power systems like laptops or test equipment.
What thermal protection features does the LM2717MT include?
The LM2717MT includes integrated thermal shutdown that disables both buck regulators when the junction temperature exceeds approximately 150°C. Once the die cools below the hysteresis threshold (~135°C), operation automatically resumes. This protection is implemented per-die, not per-regulator, and operates regardless of shutdown pin states. The device's 115°C/W θJA (TSSOP package) and low 160mΩ RDS(ON) minimize self-heating, allowing full 3.2A output at 70°C ambient without external heatsinking.
