Product details
Overview
LM2734XMK/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a monolithic, current-mode PWM step-down DC/DC regulator in a 6-pin Thin SOT-23 package, delivering 1-A output current with 1.6-MHz fixed switching frequency, 3-V to 20-V input range, and 0.8-V to 18-V adjustable output voltage - used for local point-of-load regulation in space-constrained USB-powered devices and notebook computers.
For engineers reviewing the LM2734XMK/NOPB datasheet, LM2734XMK/NOPB pinout, LM2734XMK/NOPB application, or LM2734XMK/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include internal 300-mΩ NMOS switch RDS(ON), 30-nA shutdown current, 0.8-V ±2% reference, thermal shutdown, and current-limit protection at 1.7-A typical.
Technical Context
The LM2734XMK/NOPB implements constant-frequency current-mode control with internal compensation, enabling fast transient response and stable regulation across wide input/output conditions. Its 1.6-MHz oscillator supports ultra-small external inductors (e.g., 4.7 µH) and ceramic capacitors while maintaining ≥90% efficiency at 5-VIN/3.3-VOUT.
Operation relies on bootstrap gate drive (VBOOST–VSW = 1.6 V to 5.5 V), cycle-by-cycle current limiting, and soft-start with 200-µs reference ramp. UVLO activates at 2.74-V rising threshold with 440-mV hysteresis, and thermal shutdown engages at 165°C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 1.6 MHz - enables use of sub-5-µH inductors and 0402/0603 ceramic caps, minimizing PCB area. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3 V to 20 V - supports single-cell Li-ion up to 18-V industrial rails without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 1 A continuous - sufficient for core logic, USB peripherals, and HDD preamp circuits. |
| RDS(ON) | 300 mΩ (typ) - reduces conduction loss and thermal rise at full load; max 600 mΩ over temp. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.8 V ±2% - sets output via resistor divider; enables precise 1.5-V, 1.8-V, 3.3-V, or 5-V generation. |
| Shutdown Current | 30 nA (typ) - preserves battery life in always-on systems; adds only 40 nA input leakage. |
| Current Limit | 1.7 A (typ), min 1.2 A - protects switch during overload or short-circuit without external sensing. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 165°C activation, 150°C recovery - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
LM2734XMK/NOPB uses the DDC (Thin SOT-23-6) package: 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body, 0.95 mm height, gull-wing leads. Thermal pad is not present; power dissipation relies on PCB copper and θJA = 158.1°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BOOST (Pin 1) | Bootstrap supply | Drives NMOS gate; requires 0.01-µF X7R capacitor to SW; must maintain 1.6–5.5 V above SW. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Signal & power ground | Reference for FB, EN, and internal circuits; feedback resistor bottom must connect here for accuracy. |
| FB (Pin 3) | Voltage feedback input | Senses output via resistor divider; 10-nA bias current enables high-impedance dividers. |
| EN (Pin 4) | Enable control | Logic-high (>1.8 V) enables operation; <0.4 V disables with 30-nA quiescent draw. |
| VIN (Pin 5) | Main input supply | Accepts 3–20 V; requires local 10-µF X5R bypass cap near pin to suppress ripple and EMI. |
| SW (Pin 6) | Switch node | Connects to inductor, catch diode cathode, and BOOST capacitor; swings from GND to VIN − RDS(ON)·IOUT. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internal 300-mΩ NMOS switch | Eliminates external MOSFET and driver, reducing BOM count and layout complexity for 1-A loads. |
| 1.6-MHz fixed-frequency PWM | Enables compact 4.7-µH inductors and low-ESR ceramic output caps without compromising stability. |
| 0.8-V ±2% internal reference | Supports accurate 1.5-V, 1.8-V, 3.3-V outputs using standard 1% resistors; no external reference needed. |
| Internal soft-start (200 µs) | Controls output ramp rate to limit inrush current into large output capacitance, preventing input droop. |
| Output overvoltage protection | Shuts off switch if FB exceeds 0.88 V (10% above reference), protecting downstream ICs during feedback fault. |
| Thermal shutdown + UVLO | Prevents operation below 2.74 V input or above 165°C junction; hysteresis avoids oscillation during brownout. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2734YMK/NOPB | 550-kHz switching frequency, higher minimum duty cycle (1%), lower boost current (1.0–1.8 mA). | Better suited for higher-output-voltage designs (e.g., 5-V out from 12-V in) where lower frequency eases EMI filtering. | Select when board area allows larger inductors/caps and lower EMI priority outweighs size advantage. |
| TPS62231DRVR | 3-MHz switching, 0.6-V reference, 600-mA output, integrated sync rectifier, smaller 2-mm × 2-mm WSON. | Optimized for ultra-low-power, low-current applications (e.g., MCU cores); lacks 1-A capability and 20-V input. | Choose only for sub-600-mA loads requiring smallest footprint; not a functional replacement for 1-A demands. |
Compared with LM2734YMK/NOPB, LM2734XMK/NOPB trades lower EMI susceptibility for superior miniaturization; versus TPS62231DRVR, it delivers double the output current and wider input range but in a slightly larger package - making LM2734XMK/NOPB optimal for space-constrained 1-A PoL needs.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM2734XMK/NOPB?
The absolute maximum input voltage for LM2734XMK/NOPB is 24 V, but recommended operating conditions specify 3 V to 20 V. Exceeding 20 V may trigger undervoltage lockout hysteresis or reduce reliability; sustained operation above 20 V is not advised per TI's SNVS288K datasheet Section 6.1 and 6.3.
Does LM2734XMK/NOPB require an external bootstrap diode?
No, LM2734XMK/NOPB does not require an external bootstrap diode. The internal circuitry charges the BOOST capacitor (CBOOST) during startup, and the device operates with only an external 0.01-µF ceramic capacitor between BOOST and SW pins - as confirmed in Figure 13 and Section 8.1.1 of the official datasheet.
Can LM2734XMK/NOPB be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, LM2734XMK/NOPB is fully compatible with ceramic output capacitors. Its current-mode control and internal compensation ensure stability with low-ESR ceramics; typical designs use 10-µF X5R/X7R caps, as shown in Table 1 (Figure 16) and Section 8.2.1.2 of the datasheet.
What is the typical shutdown current of LM2734XMK/NOPB?
The typical shutdown current of LM2734XMK/NOPB is 30 nA at 25°C, with additional 40 nA input leakage from SW pin. This value is specified in Section 6.5 Electrical Characteristics (IQ shutdown row) and validated across –40°C to 125°C per TI SNVS288K Rev K.
How does the feedback pin (FB) of LM2734XMK/NOPB function in regulation?
The FB pin of LM2734XMK/NOPB senses the output voltage via an external resistor divider and compares it to the internal 0.8-V reference. With only 10-nA input bias current, it enables high-impedance dividers (e.g., 8.87 kΩ/10.2 kΩ for 1.5-V out), and regulation error is corrected by adjusting switch duty cycle in real time using current-mode PWM control.
