Product details
Overview
LM2731YMFX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 0.6-MHz fixed-frequency current-mode boost converter IC with integrated 22-V, 1.8-A DMOS FET switch in 5-pin SOT-23 package. It operates from 2.7 V to 14 V input, delivers up to 20 V output, and features cycle-by-cycle current limiting and thermal shutdown - ideal for space-constrained portable power rails in digital cameras and PDAs.
For engineers reviewing the LM2731YMFX/NOPB datasheet, LM2731YMFX/NOPB pinout, LM2731YMFX/NOPB application, or LM2731YMFX/NOPB equivalent, key selection factors include its 0.6-MHz switching frequency (Y option), 1.23-V feedback reference, 300–450-mΩ RDS(ON), <1 µA shutdown current, and compatibility with tiny ceramic capacitors and 10-µH inductors.
Technical Context
The LM2731YMFX/NOPB uses peak-current-mode control with an internal ramp generator and PWM comparator comparing sensed switch current against feedback-derived error voltage. Its 0.6-MHz oscillator enables compact magnetics while maintaining stable regulation across 2.7–14-V input and load transients.
Protection includes per-cycle current limiting triggered by a sense resistor in series with the internal FET, plus thermal shutdown at ~160°C junction temperature. The FB pin regulates output via a resistive divider referenced to 1.23 V, and SHDN is active-low with <2 µA bias current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 0.6 MHz (Y option) - enables use of small 10-µH inductors and 4.7-µF ceramic output capacitors |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 14 V - supports single-cell Li-ion, multi-cell alkaline, and USB-powered systems |
| Output Voltage Capability | Up to 20 V - enabled by 22-V rated internal DMOS FET switch |
| Switch Current Limit | 1.4 A to 1.8 A (−40°C to +125°C) - sets maximum deliverable load current under boost conditions |
| RDS(ON) | 300–450 mΩ (TJ = 25°C) - determines conduction loss and thermal rise at full load |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 1.205 V to 1.255 V (−40°C to +125°C) - defines precision of output voltage setting via external resistor divider |
| Shutdown Current | <1 µA - extends battery life in standby mode for portable devices |
Pinout & Package
LM2731YMFX/NOPB is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package measuring 1.60 mm × 2.90 mm with standard lead pitch and thermal pad-compatible footprint. The package supports high power density and efficient PCB heat dissipation via bottom-side copper exposure.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (Pin 1) | Switch Drain | Connection to internal 22-V DMOS FET drain; routes pulsed current to external inductor and Schottky diode |
| GND (Pin 2) | Analog & Power Ground | Common return for feedback, control logic, and power path; must be low-impedance and star-connected |
| FB (Pin 3) | Feedback Input | Senses output voltage via resistive divider; regulates output to 1.23 V reference with ±25 mV tolerance over temperature |
| SHDN (Pin 4) | Active-Low Enable | Pulls low to disable switching; requires pull-up to VIN if unused; max bias current 2 µA |
| VIN (Pin 5) | Power Input | Supplies internal circuitry and switch driver; accepts 2.7–14 V with transient rating up to 14.5 V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 22-V, 1.8-A DMOS FET | Eliminates external high-voltage switch; enables 5-V-to-12-V or 3.3-V-to-18-V boost without discrete MOSFET |
| 0.6-MHz fixed-frequency operation | Reduces EMI filtering burden vs lower frequencies; allows smaller passive components than 100-kHz converters |
| Cycle-by-cycle current limiting | Protects internal FET during overload or short-circuit; responds within one switching cycle without latch-off |
| Internally compensated control loop | Requires only feedforward capacitor (CF) for stability - no external compensation network needed |
| Low shutdown current (<1 µA) | Minimizes battery drain in always-on portable systems; supports rapid wake-up without soft-start delay |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2731XMF/NOPB | 1.6-MHz switching frequency; higher RDS(ON) (typ. 400 mΩ); reduced max duty cycle (93% vs 93% at 25°C) | Better suited for ultra-compact designs requiring smallest inductors; trades ~2–3% efficiency for size reduction | Select when board space is critical and EMI filtering can accommodate higher fundamental frequency |
| TPS61040DRVR | Fixed 500-kHz frequency; 28-V switch; 0.5-A switch current limit; requires external compensation | Lower output current capability; needs additional RC network for loop stability; wider input range (1.8–6 V) | Prefer for sub-300-mA loads where input starts below 2.7 V or where TI's newer TPS61xxx family toolchain is standardized |
Compared with LM2731YMFX/NOPB, the LM2731XMF/NOPB offers higher switching frequency for smaller passives but lower efficiency at medium loads, while the TPS61040DRVR provides broader low-input support at the cost of reduced current capability and added design complexity.

FAQ
What is the switching frequency of the LM2731YMFX/NOPB?
The LM2731YMFX/NOPB is the Y-option variant with a nominal switching frequency of 0.6 MHz, confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table (FSW = 0.6 MHz, "Y" Option). This frequency remains stable across −40°C to +125°C junction temperature and input voltages from 2.7 V to 14 V, enabling predictable EMI filtering and compact magnetic design.
Does the LM2731YMFX/NOPB require external compensation components?
The LM2731YMFX/NOPB is internally compensated, eliminating the need for external Type-II or Type-III compensation networks. However, a feedforward capacitor (CF) is mandatory for loop stability - typically 220 pF placed between FB and VIN per the recommended application schematic in the datasheet. Omitting CF risks oscillation or poor transient response.
What is the maximum output voltage achievable with the LM2731YMFX/NOPB?
The LM2731YMFX/NOPB supports output voltages up to 20 V, limited by its 22-V rated internal DMOS FET switch and absolute maximum SW pin voltage of 22 V. Output voltage is set externally via the FB resistive divider; for reliable operation, VOUT must remain ≥ VIN + VDIODE + VSW (typically ≥ VIN + 1 V) to maintain continuous conduction mode.
Can the LM2731YMFX/NOPB drive a white LED string directly?
The LM2731YMFX/NOPB is not a constant-current LED driver IC; it is a voltage-regulated boost converter. To drive white LEDs, it must be paired with an external current-sense resistor and feedback configuration - e.g., connecting the LED string cathode to GND and sensing current through a resistor tied to FB. Direct LED connection without current regulation risks thermal runaway and LED failure.
What thermal considerations apply to the LM2731YMFX/NOPB in SOT-23 package?
The LM2731YMFX/NOPB has RθJA = 209.9°C/W (DBV package) and thermal shutdown at ~160°C. For continuous 500-mA output at 12 V from 3.3 V input, power dissipation exceeds 0.5 W - requiring ≥250 mm² of 2-oz copper pour under the exposed pad and adjacent GND traces. Without adequate copper, junction temperature may exceed 125°C derating limits even at moderate loads.
