Product details
Overview
LM2733XMF from Texas Instruments is a 1.6-MHz fixed-frequency current-mode boost converter IC with integrated 40-V/1-A DMOS FET switch, 500-mΩ RDS(ON), and internal compensation. It operates from 2.7 V to 14 V input and delivers up to 330 mA typical output current at 12 V in SOT-23-5 package - used as local high-voltage boost regulator in portable power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LM2733XMF datasheet, LM2733XMF pinout, LM2733XMF application, or LM2733XMF equivalent, key selection criteria include switching frequency stability across temperature (±25% over −40°C to +125°C), feedback reference voltage accuracy (1.230 V ±25 mV), shutdown threshold (1.5 V typ), quiescent current in active mode (2.1 mA), and thermal derating behavior above 87% duty cycle.
Technical Context
The LM2733XMF implements peak-current-mode control with cycle-by-cycle current limiting and an internal ramp generator synchronized to a 1.6-MHz oscillator. Its Gm error amplifier compares FB pin voltage against 1.23-V internal reference to adjust PWM duty cycle, while the current-sense path uses the FET's RDS(ON) for direct peak-current detection without external sense resistor.
Shutdown is logic-level active-low with <1 µA leakage when asserted, and the device enters thermal shutdown if junction temperature exceeds 125°C. Internal compensation eliminates need for external Type-II/III networks, relying on feedforward capacitor Cf (220 pF) to place loop zero at ~8 kHz for stability across load and input variations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching frequency | 1.6 MHz nominal; supports compact 10-µH inductors and 2.2-µF ceramic input caps without audible noise or EMI filtering overhead. |
| Input voltage range | 2.7 V to 14 V; enables direct operation from single Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V), dual AA/AAA (2.4–3.2 V), or 5-V/12-V system rails. |
| Feedback reference voltage | 1.230 V ±25 mV; sets output via resistive divider (e.g., R1 = 117 kΩ, R2 = 13.3 kΩ for 12 V), enabling precise regulation independent of load or line variation. |
| RDS(ON) | 500 mΩ max at ISW = 100 mA; limits conduction loss to <50 mW at 100 mA, supporting >85% efficiency at 5 V → 12 V / 330 mA. |
| Switch current limit | 1 A min (duty ≤50%); provides robust short-circuit protection and defines maximum deliverable power before thermal foldback. |
| Quiescent current | 2.1 mA typ at 5 V input; balances fast transient response against battery drain in always-on boost stages. |
| Shutdown current | <1 µA; extends battery life in sleep modes without external disconnect circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DBV) package: 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body, 0.95 mm height, gull-wing leads, JEDEC MO-178 compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (Pin 1) | Switch node | Drain of internal 40-V DMOS FET; connects to inductor and Schottky diode anode; carries high dv/dt switching waveform requiring tight layout. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power and analog ground | Common return for input cap, output cap, feedback divider, and internal bias circuits; must be low-impedance copper pour under IC. |
| FB (Pin 3) | Feedback input | High-impedance (60 nA bias) node sensing resistive divider output; sets regulated output voltage via 1.23-V reference. |
| SHDN (Pin 4) | Shutdown control | Active-low logic input; <0.5 V disables switching and reduces IQ to <1 µA; tie to VIN if unused (no pullup required). |
| VIN (Pin 5) | Power input | Primary supply input (2.7–14 V); powers internal bias, gate driver, and oscillator; requires local 2.2-µF ceramic decoupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 40-V/1-A DMOS FET | Enables boost to ≥16 V without external switch; eliminates layout complexity and parasitic inductance of discrete FET+driver solutions. |
| 1.6-MHz fixed switching frequency | Reduces passive size by 4× vs 400-kHz converters; allows use of 10-µH inductors and 2.2–4.7-µF ceramics instead of larger, costlier components. |
| Internal compensation | Removes need for external compensation network; simplifies design, improves production yield, and avoids instability from PCB trace capacitance. |
| Cycle-by-cycle current limiting | Provides immediate overcurrent protection per switching cycle; prevents inductor saturation and thermal runaway during output shorts or startup surges. |
| Logic-level shutdown | Supports direct interface to microcontroller GPIO without level-shifting; <1 µA shutdown current extends battery runtime in portable devices. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2733YMF | 600-kHz switching frequency; higher efficiency at medium loads but requires larger 22-µH inductor and 4.7-µF input cap. | Better suited for low-EMI, battery-sensitive applications where size is secondary to efficiency above 100 mA. | Select LM2733YMF when optimizing for >90% efficiency at 150–500 mA and lower radiated emissions in EMC-constrained designs. |
| TPS61040DRVR | 1-MHz switching; 28-V FET; 0.5-A switch current limit; requires external compensation; no integrated feedforward capacitor. | Offers tighter output voltage tolerance (±1.5%) but needs additional stability components and cannot reach 40-V output safely. | Choose TPS61040DRVR only when 28-V max output suffices and board space allows extra 2–3 passives for loop compensation. |
Compared with LM2733YMF and TPS61040DRVR, the LM2733XMF uniquely combines 1.6-MHz operation, 40-V FET, and internal compensation in SOT-23-5 - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-output-voltage boost applications where minimal BOM count and fast transient response are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage achievable with the LM2733XMF?
The LM2733XMF supports output voltages up to 40 V, limited by its 40-V internal DMOS FET breakdown rating and maximum duty cycle of 93% at full temperature range. In practice, stable operation at 35 V is confirmed in TI's typical characteristics (Figure 16–23), with proper selection of Schottky diode (e.g., MBR0540) and output capacitor rated ≥50 V.
Does the LM2733XMF require an external compensation network?
No, the LM2733XMF features fully internal compensation, eliminating external Type-II or Type-III networks. Stability is maintained using only the required feedforward capacitor Cf (220 pF) between FB and GND, as specified in the typical application circuit. This reduces component count and layout sensitivity while ensuring robust performance across input, load, and temperature variations.
How does shutdown functionality work on the LM2733XMF?
The LM2733XMF SHDN pin is active-low: pulling it below 0.5 V disables switching and reduces quiescent current to <1 µA. When unused, TI recommends tying SHDN directly to VIN - no pullup resistor needed. Leaving SHDN floating is prohibited, as it may cause erratic enable/disable behavior due to noise coupling or internal leakage paths.
Can the LM2733XMF drive a 12-V, 330-mA load from a 3.3-V input?
Yes, the LM2733XMF delivers 330 mA typical at 12 V from 3.3-V input, as verified in Figure 11 (Efficiency vs Load Current, VIN = 3.3 V). Achieving this requires proper selection of 10-µH inductor, MBR0520 Schottky diode, 2.2-µF input ceramic, and 4.7-µF output ceramic capacitors - all specified in the LM2733XMF typical application circuit.
What thermal considerations apply to continuous operation of the LM2733XMF?
At ambient temperatures above 60°C or duty cycles exceeding 87%, the LM2733XMF relies on its internal thermal shutdown (TJ = 125°C) to prevent damage. For sustained 330-mA output at 12 V, maintain θJA ≤210°C/W via adequate PCB copper area under Pin 2 (GND) and avoid enclosing the SOT-23-5 in sealed enclosures without airflow.
