Product details
Overview
LM2734YQMK/NOPB from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified 1-A synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator in a 6-pin Thin SOT-23 package, operating from 3 V to 20 V input and delivering 0.8 V to 18 V output with 550-kHz fixed switching frequency, 300-mΩ internal NMOS switch, and 0.8-V ±2% reference - used for point-of-load regulation in automotive ADAS modules.
For engineers reviewing the LM2734YQMK/NOPB datasheet, LM2734YQMK/NOPB pinout, LM2734YQMK/NOPB application, or LM2734YQMK/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include automotive-grade thermal performance (−40°C to +125°C), ultra-low 30-nA shutdown current, internal soft-start, current-mode PWM control, and compatibility with ceramic output capacitors and small-surface-mount inductors.
Technical Context
The LM2734YQMK/NOPB implements constant-frequency current-mode PWM control with internal compensation, enabling stable regulation across wide input/output ranges without external loop components. Its 13-ns minimum on-time supports high duty-cycle operation down to 0.8-V output even at 20-V input.
It integrates undervoltage lockout (2.74-V turn-on, 2.3-V turn-off with 440-mV hysteresis), cycle-by-cycle current limiting (1.7-A typical), thermal shutdown (165°C trip), and output overvoltage protection (FB > 1.08 V disables switch), all within a 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm Thin SOT-23-THIN (DDC) package.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3 V to 20 V - supports direct connection to automotive battery rails including cold-crank transients. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.8 V to 18 V - adjustable via external resistor divider; 0.8-V internal reference enables low-voltage core supply generation. |
| Switching Frequency | 550 kHz - enables use of compact 4.7-µH inductors and chip-scale ceramic capacitors without sacrificing transient response. |
| Max Output Current | 1 A - delivered continuously with internal 300-mΩ NMOS switch; no external MOSFET required. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.8 V ±2% - high-accuracy reference ensures tight output regulation across temperature and line variations. |
| Shutdown Current | 30 nA - enables ultra-low-power sleep modes in always-on automotive subsystems. |
| Operating Junction Temp | −40°C to +125°C - AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification confirms suitability for under-hood and ADAS ECU environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: Thin SOT-23-THIN (DDC), 6-pin, 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body size, exposed pad not present.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BOOST (Pin 1) | Bootstrap supply input | Drives gate of internal NMOS; requires 0.01-µF ceramic capacitor between BOOST and SW to sustain ≥2.5-V gate drive above SW during on-time. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Signal and power ground | Common return for feedback network and power path; bottom resistor of FB divider must connect directly here for accuracy. |
| FB (Pin 3) | Feedback input | Senses output voltage via resistor divider; internal 0.8-V reference compares against divider ratio to regulate VOUT. |
| EN (Pin 4) | Enable control input | Logic-high (>1.8 V) enables regulation; logic-low (<0.4 V) forces 30-nA shutdown; must not float or exceed VIN + 0.3 V. |
| VIN (Pin 5) | Main input supply | Accepts 3–20 V; requires local 10-µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin to suppress switching noise. |
| SW (Pin 6) | Switch node output | Connects to inductor, catch diode cathode, and BOOST capacitor; swings from GND to VIN − ILOAD×RDS(ON) during operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for automotive use from −40°C to +125°C junction temperature with full reliability testing. |
| Internal soft-start | Ramps reference voltage from 0 V to 0.8 V over ~200 µs to limit inrush current during power-up. |
| Current-mode PWM control | Provides inherent cycle-by-cycle current limiting and fast transient response without external compensation. |
| Integrated 300-mΩ NMOS switch | Eliminates need for external high-side FET and driver, reducing BOM count and PCB area in space-constrained modules. |
| Output overvoltage protection | Disables switch if FB exceeds 1.08 V (10% above 0.8-V reference), preventing damage to downstream loads. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2734XQMK/NOPB | 1.6-MHz switching frequency vs. 550-kHz; identical package, pinout, and feature set. | Better suited for ultra-compact layouts where smaller inductors (<2.2 µH) and reduced output capacitance are critical. | Select LM2734XQMK/NOPB when board space is constrained and higher-frequency operation is acceptable for EMI filtering. |
| TPS62130AQDGSRQ1 | 3-MHz fixed frequency, 95% efficiency, integrated sync rectifier, but larger 8-pin WSON package. | Higher efficiency and lower quiescent current (17 µA active), yet requires more PCB area and different layout. | Choose TPS62130AQDGSRQ1 when maximum efficiency and lowest active IQ outweigh footprint constraints. |
Compared with LM2734YQMK/NOPB, the LM2734XQMK/NOPB offers faster transient response and smaller magnetics at the cost of slightly higher switching losses, while the TPS62130AQDGSRQ1 delivers superior light-load efficiency and integrated synchronous rectification but demands re-layout due to different pin count and package.

FAQ
What is the recommended input capacitor value for LM2734YQMK/NOPB in automotive applications?
The recommended input capacitor for LM2734YQMK/NOPB is 10 µF X5R ceramic rated for ≥6.3 V, placed as close as possible to the VIN and GND pins. For input voltages below 6 V, 4.7 µF is sufficient. The capacitor must handle RMS currents up to 350 mA and exhibit low ESL to suppress high-frequency switching noise - critical for stable operation during automotive load-dump and cold-crank events. LM2734YQMK/NOPB relies on this capacitor to maintain input voltage integrity during 550-kHz switching transitions.
Does LM2734YQMK/NOPB require an external catch diode?
Yes, LM2734YQMK/NOPB requires an external Schottky catch diode (e.g., MBRM110L) connected between SW and GND. Unlike synchronous buck regulators, it uses an internal NMOS high-side switch only and relies on the external diode for low-side conduction during the off-time. This topology simplifies gate drive but mandates careful diode selection for VF < 0.4 V and IF ≥ 1 A to maintain >90% efficiency. LM2734YQMK/NOPB's current-limit and thermal protection remain fully active regardless of diode choice.
How does the BOOST capacitor function in LM2734YQMK/NOPB, and what value is recommended?
The BOOST capacitor (0.01 µF X7R ceramic, 16 V) forms a charge pump with the internal NMOS gate driver and SW node to generate gate voltage ≥2.5 V above SW during on-time. It must be placed directly between BOOST and SW pins with minimal trace length. During startup, internal circuitry charges it to ~VIN – 0.7 V; thereafter, it sustains gate drive using energy recovered from the inductor flyback. LM2734YQMK/NOPB will not achieve full 1-A output capability if BOOST voltage falls below 2.5 V relative to SW.
Can LM2734YQMK/NOPB be used in non-automotive industrial applications?
Yes, LM2734YQMK/NOPB is qualified for industrial use despite its AEC-Q100 Grade 1 rating. Its −40°C to +125°C operating range, 30-nA shutdown current, and robust protection features (UVLO, OVP, thermal shutdown, current limit) make it suitable for harsh-environment industrial controls, medical portable devices, and outdoor communications equipment. LM2734YQMK/NOPB retains full electrical specifications outside automotive test requirements, with no derating needed for non-automotive thermal or reliability validation.
What is the purpose of the EN pin on LM2734YQMK/NOPB, and how should it be interfaced?
EN (Enable) pin controls startup and shutdown of LM2734YQMK/NOPB: logic-high (>1.8 V) enables regulation; logic-low (<0.4 V) places the device in 30-nA shutdown mode. It must never float - tie to VIN via 100-kΩ pull-up if always-on operation is required. Driving EN directly from a microcontroller GPIO is safe provided voltage stays within −0.5 V to VIN + 0.3 V. LM2734YQMK/NOPB monitors EN continuously; no external debounce is needed due to built-in hysteresis.
