Product details
Overview
LM2733XMF/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a fixed-frequency current-mode boost converter IC with an integrated 40-V, 1-A DMOS FET switch, 1.6-MHz switching frequency, 2.7–14-V input range, and internal compensation. It delivers up to 330 mA at 12 V output in typical applications such as white LED biasing and portable device local boost regulation.
For engineers reviewing the LM2733XMF/NOPB datasheet, LM2733XMF/NOPB pinout, LM2733XMF/NOPB application, or LM2733XMF/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.6-MHz operation enabling compact magnetics, 40-V switch rating supporting ≥16-V outputs, cycle-by-cycle current limiting, and SOT-23-5 package compatibility with space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The LM2733XMF/NOPB implements peak-current-mode control using an internal ramp generator and PWM comparator, where the switch current-sensed via the FET's RDS(ON)-directly modulates pulse width. Its fixed 1.6-MHz oscillator sets timing, while the feedback (FB) pin regulates output voltage via a resistive divider referenced to 1.23 V.
Shutdown is logic-level active-low (SHDN threshold: 0.5 V OFF / 1.5 V ON), drawing <1 µA in shutdown. Protection includes cycle-by-cycle current limiting (1 A min, duty-cycle dependent) and thermal shutdown, with internal compensation eliminating external compensation components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching frequency | 1.6 MHz (typical); enables use of sub-2-mm inductors and 2.2-µF ceramic input capacitors. |
| Input voltage range | 2.7 V to 14 V; supports single-cell Li-ion, 3.3-V/5-V rails, and automotive cold-crank conditions. |
| Output capability | Up to 330 mA at 12 V (typical); limited by 1-A switch current and duty cycle-dependent derating. |
| FET voltage rating | 40 V; allows regulated outputs ≥16 V (e.g., 20–40 V for white LED strings). |
| Feedback reference | 1.23 V ±25 mV (−40°C to +125°C); sets output voltage via external resistor divider (e.g., R1 = 117 kΩ, R2 = 13.3 kΩ for 12 V). |
| Quiescent current | 2.1 mA (active, "X" version); drops to 400 µA when not switching, extending battery life. |
| Shutdown current | <1 µA; enables ultra-low-power standby in portable systems. |
| RDS(ON) | 500–650 mΩ (25°C); determines conduction loss and thermal rise under load. |
Pinout & Package
LM2733XMF/NOPB uses a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package, 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body size, with exposed pad not electrically connected. Thermal resistance is RθJA = 210°C/W.
| 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. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Ground | Common analog and power return; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise and thermal rise. |
| FB (Pin 3) | Feedback input | Senses output voltage via resistive divider; regulates output by comparing to 1.23-V internal reference. |
| SHDN (Pin 4) | Shutdown control | Active-low enable; <0.5 V disables regulator and reduces IQ to <1 µA; tie to VIN if unused. |
| VIN (Pin 5) | Power input | Supplies internal circuitry and FET gate drive; requires local 2.2-µF ceramic decoupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 40-V, 1-A DMOS switch | Eliminates external high-voltage MOSFET; supports ≥16-V outputs without external level-shifting. |
| Fixed 1.6-MHz switching | Reduces required inductor size to ~10 µH and capacitor size to 2.2–4.7 µF, minimizing PCB area. |
| Internal compensation | Removes need for external Type-II/III compensation network, simplifying layout and reducing BOM count. |
| Cycle-by-cycle current limiting | Protects against short-circuit and overload by terminating each switching cycle when peak current exceeds threshold. |
| Logic-level shutdown | Enables seamless integration with microcontroller GPIOs; <1 µA shutdown current extends battery runtime. |
| Thermal shutdown protection | Automatically disables output when junction temperature exceeds 125°C, preventing permanent damage. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2733YMF/NOPB | 0.6-MHz switching frequency; higher efficiency at medium loads but requires larger inductors (≥22 µH) and capacitors. | Better suited for noise-sensitive audio or RF sections where lower EMI fundamental frequency is preferred. | Select when efficiency > size is prioritized and board space allows larger passives. |
| TPS61040DRVR | 500-kHz switching; integrated soft-start; 28-V switch; 400-mA typical output; different pinout and compensation scheme. | Designed for LCD bias and low-noise analog supplies; lacks 40-V rating for >28-V outputs. | Choose for applications needing soft-start or tighter output ripple, but verify 28-V limit vs. required output. |
Compared with LM2733YMF/NOPB, the LM2733XMF/NOPB trades ~3–5% efficiency for 60% smaller magnetics and lower EMI filter complexity; versus TPS61040DRVR, it offers higher output voltage headroom (40 V vs. 28 V) but no soft-start and requires external feedforward capacitor (Cf = 220 pF).

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage achievable with LM2733XMF/NOPB?
The LM2733XMF/NOPB features a 40-V rated internal DMOS FET switch, enabling regulated output voltages up to 40 V. In practice, stable operation at 30–40 V is confirmed in TI's typical characteristics (Figures 15–17), provided external components-including the Schottky diode (e.g., MBR0540) and output capacitor-are rated accordingly. Output voltage is set by the FB divider ratio, with VOUT = 1.23 × (1 + R1/R2).
Does LM2733XMF/NOPB require external compensation components?
No, the LM2733XMF/NOPB is internally compensated and does not require external Type-II or Type-III compensation networks. However, a feedforward capacitor (Cf = 220 pF for "X" version) is mandatory across R1 for loop stability, as specified in TI's application note and typical application circuit. Omitting Cf causes oscillation and regulation failure.
What is the recommended inductor value for LM2733XMF/NOPB in a 5-V-to-12-V boost design?
Texas Instruments specifies 10 µH as the standard inductor value for 5-V-to-12-V boost operation with the LM2733XMF/NOPB. This value ensures continuous conduction mode at ≥33 mA load and maintains ≤100-mA inductor ripple current. Smaller values (e.g., 4.7 µH) may be used for size reduction but risk entering discontinuous mode and reduced load capability.
How does shutdown functionality work on LM2733XMF/NOPB?
The SHDN pin on LM2733XMF/NOPB is an active-low logic input. Pulling it below 0.5 V disables the regulator, reducing quiescent current to <1 µA. When pulled high to VIN (or ≥1.5 V), the device operates normally. TI recommends tying SHDN directly to VIN if unused; leaving it floating is prohibited. A 50–100-kΩ pullup resistor is advised when interfacing with open-drain controllers.
Can LM2733XMF/NOPB drive multiple white LEDs in series?
Yes, the LM2733XMF/NOPB is explicitly designed for white LED current-source applications. With its 40-V switch rating and ability to regulate output up to 40 V, it can drive 6–10 typical white LEDs (3.0–3.6 V each) in series. Current regulation is achieved by placing a sense resistor between the LED cathode and GND, connecting the FB pin to the resistor's LED-side node-configuring the IC as a constant-current sink.
