Product details
Overview
LM2733XMFX/NOPB 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), 2.7–14-V input range, and 1.23-V feedback reference voltage. It delivers up to 330 mA at 12 V output in compact SOT-23-5 packages for portable power rail generation.
For engineers reviewing the LM2733XMFX/NOPB datasheet, LM2733XMFX/NOPB pinout, LM2733XMFX/NOPB application, or LM2733XMFX/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include switching frequency stability across temperature (±0.25 MHz), cycle-by-cycle current limiting, internal compensation, shutdown quiescent current (<1 µA), and compatibility with ceramic input/output capacitors and Schottky diodes in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The LM2733XMFX/NOPB implements peak-current-mode control using an internal ramp generator and PWM comparator, where switch current sensing feeds both regulation and pulse-by-pulse current limiting. Its 1.6-MHz oscillator sets timing independent of load or input voltage, enabling fast transient response and small external passive components.
Feedback regulation relies on a precision 1.23-V bandgap reference applied to the FB pin; output voltage is set by an external resistive divider. The SHDN pin provides logic-level enable/disable with <2 µA bias current and 1.5-V turn-on threshold, supporting battery-life extension in portable systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching frequency | 1.6 MHz (typical); enables use of ≤10-µH inductors and ≤4.7-µF ceramic capacitors for ultra-compact layouts. |
| Input voltage range | 2.7 V to 14 V; supports single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V), dual-cell alkaline (2.7–3.6 V), and 5-V/12-V system rails. |
| Internal FET rating | 40-V drain-source breakdown, 1-A peak switch current limit; allows regulated outputs ≥16 V (e.g., 20 V, 30 V, 40 V) without external high-voltage switches. |
| RDS(ON) | 500 mΩ (typical at ISW = 100 mA); minimizes conduction loss and thermal rise in high-duty-cycle boost applications. |
| FB reference voltage | 1.230 V (±2.5% over −40°C to +125°C); defines output accuracy via external resistor divider (e.g., R1 = 117 kΩ, R2 = 13.3 kΩ for 12 V). |
| Shutdown current | <1 µA (typical); extends battery runtime in standby mode without requiring external disconnect circuitry. |
| Thermal resistance | RθJA = 210°C/W (SOT-23-5); requires minimal PCB copper area for thermal management in 330-mA continuous operation. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 package (2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body size) with exposed pad not electrically connected; standard JEDEC DBV footprint compatible with automated assembly.
| 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. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Ground reference | Common analog and power ground return for FB, SHDN, VIN, and internal regulator; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| FB (Pin 3) | Feedback input | High-impedance (60 nA bias) node sensing output voltage via resistive divider; regulates output to 1.23 V at this pin. |
| SHDN (Pin 4) | Enable control | Logic-level input; device enabled when >1.5 V, disabled when <0.5 V; tie to VIN if unused; requires pull-up resistor for active control. |
| VIN (Pin 5) | Power input | Main supply input (2.7–14 V); powers internal bias circuits and gate driver; requires local 2.2-µF ceramic decoupling capacitor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 1.6-MHz switching | Enables consistent EMI profile and predictable filter design; eliminates need for external frequency-setting components. |
| Internally compensated | Reduces BOM count by eliminating external compensation network; stable with standard 220-pF feedforward capacitor (Cf) and 13.3-kΩ R2. |
| Cycle-by-cycle current limiting | Prevents switch overcurrent during startup, short-circuit, or overload; resets each clock cycle without latch-up or thermal shutdown delay. |
| Low RDS(ON) FET | 500-mΩ conduction resistance improves efficiency at 330-mA load (e.g., >85% at 5-VIN/12-VOUT), reducing thermal stress in SOT-23 package. |
| Logic-level shutdown | 1.5-V enable threshold ensures compatibility with 1.8-V, 3.3-V, and 5-V microcontrollers; <1-µA shutdown current preserves battery capacity. |

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/capacitors. | Better suited for lower-EMI, higher-efficiency applications where board space is less constrained. | Select when optimizing for peak efficiency >89% at 100–200 mA rather than minimum footprint. |
| TPS61040DRVR | 2.5-MHz switching; 28-V FET; 0.5-A switch current; different FB reference (1.25 V) and pinout. | Higher frequency enables smaller passives but limited to ≤28-V output; no direct pin compatibility. | Choose for 2.5-MHz operation and tighter output tolerance (±1.5%), accepting non-drop-in replacement effort. |
Compared with LM2733YMF/NOPB, the LM2733XMFX/NOPB trades ~2% efficiency for 2.7× higher switching frequency and 40% smaller magnetics; versus TPS61040DRVR, it offers 12-V higher FET breakdown and identical SOT-23-5 footprint but requires different feedback divider and compensation.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage achievable with the LM2733XMFX/NOPB?
The LM2733XMFX/NOPB features a 40-V internal DMOS FET switch, allowing regulated output voltages up to 35–40 V depending on diode and layout losses. Typical validated applications include 12 V, 15 V, 20 V, 25 V, 30 V, and 35 V outputs. Output voltage is set by the FB resistive divider; ensure SW node voltage remains below 40 V under all operating conditions including transients.
Does the LM2733XMFX/NOPB require external compensation components?
The LM2733XMFX/NOPB is internally compensated and does not require external compensation networks. However, a feedforward capacitor (Cf = 220 pF typical) between FB and VIN is mandatory for loop stability and must be placed close to the IC. Omitting Cf causes oscillation; values outside 120–330 pF degrade phase margin.
Can the LM2733XMFX/NOPB operate with a 1.8-V input supply?
No. The LM2733XMFX/NOPB has a minimum recommended input voltage of 2.7 V per datasheet Section 6.3. Operation below 2.7 V risks failure to start, unstable regulation, or excessive RDS(ON) due to insufficient gate drive. For sub-2.7-V inputs, consider TI's TPS61200 or similar ultra-low-VIN boost converters.
What is the purpose of the SHDN pin on the LM2733XMFX/NOPB, and how should it be used?
The SHDN pin on the LM2733XMFX/NOPB enables logic-level control of device operation: voltage >1.5 V enables switching, <0.5 V disables it with <1-µA quiescent current. If unused, tie SHDN directly to VIN. For MCU control, use a pull-up resistor (50–100 kΩ) to VIN and drive low via open-drain or push-pull output. Never leave SHDN floating.
Which Schottky diode is recommended for use with the LM2733XMFX/NOPB in a 12-V output application?
For a 12-V output application, TI specifies the MBR0520 (20-V, 0.5-A Schottky) as the recommended diode in the LM2733XMFX/NOPB typical application circuit. Its low forward voltage (~0.35 V at 330 mA) minimizes conduction loss, and its 20-V rating provides adequate margin above the 12-V output while maintaining fast recovery and low capacitance.
