Product details
Overview
LM2734ZQSDE/NOPB from Texas Instruments (formerly National Semiconductor) is a monolithic 3 MHz PWM step-down DC-DC regulator in a 6-pin LLP (3 mm × 3 mm) package, featuring an internal 300 mΩ NMOS switch, 1 A output current capability, 0.8 V internal reference (±2%), and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification for automotive point-of-load applications.
For engineers reviewing the LM2734ZQSDE/NOPB datasheet, LM2734ZQSDE/NOPB pinout, LM2734ZQSDE/NOPB application, or LM2734ZQSDE/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.0–20 V input range, 0.8–18 V adjustable output, 30 nA shutdown current, thermal shutdown, and current-mode control with internal compensation - all critical for compact, high-efficiency automotive and battery-powered designs.
Technical Context
The LM2734ZQSDE/NOPB implements fixed-frequency current-mode PWM control with an internally set 3 MHz switching frequency, enabling use of sub-3 mm surface-mount inductors and ceramic capacitors. Its on-time minimum of 13 ns supports stable regulation down to 0.8 V output across the full 3–20 V input range.
It integrates soft-start (200 µs ramp), pulse-by-pulse current limit (1.7 A typ), output overvoltage protection (10% above VFB), undervoltage lockout (2.74 V rising threshold, 440 mV hysteresis), and thermal shutdown (165 °C trip, 150 °C recovery), all operating within −40 °C to +125 °C junction temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 3 MHz (fixed); enables ultra-compact filter design with ≤2.2 µH inductors and low-ESR ceramic capacitors |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.0 V to 20 V; supports wide-input automotive and industrial rails without external pre-regulation |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.8 V to 18 V (adjustable via resistor divider); 0.8 V ±2% internal reference ensures tight regulation at low-VOUT |
| Max Output Current | 1 A continuous; delivered via integrated 300 mΩ NMOS switch (TSOT) / 340 mΩ (LLP), minimizing external component count |
| Shutdown Current | 30 nA typical; enables long battery life in always-on automotive modules and USB-powered devices |
| Junction Temp Range | −40 °C to +125 °C; qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1, supporting under-hood and infotainment applications |
| Protection Features | Thermal shutdown, output overvoltage (10% OV), pulse-by-pulse current limit, UVLO with hysteresis - no external fault management required |
Pinout & Package
LM2734ZQSDE/NOPB uses the 6-lead LLP package (3 mm × 3 mm, NS Package Number SDE06A), with exposed die attach pad (DAP) internally connected to GND for enhanced thermal performance. The package is RoHS-compliant and lead-free (NOPB suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - BOOST | Bootstrap supply node | Drives NMOS gate; requires 0.01 µF ceramic capacitor between BOOST and SW to sustain ≥2.5 V gate drive during high-duty-cycle operation |
| 2 - GND | Signal and power ground | Reference for feedback network and thermal path; DAP connects internally to this pin for PCB heat sinking |
| 3 - FB | Feedback input | High-impedance (250 nA max bias) node sensing resistor-divider output; trace must be short and noise-isolated for stable regulation |
| 4 - EN | Enable control | Logic-high active enable; 0.4 V falling threshold and 1.8 V rising threshold; 10 nA leakage allows direct MCU GPIO control without pull-up |
| 5 - VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 3–20 V; requires local 10 µF low-ESL ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin |
| 6 - SW | Power switch node | Connects to inductor, catch diode cathode, and BOOST capacitor; high dv/dt node requiring minimized loop area for EMI control |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for automotive applications including infotainment, ADAS sensors, and body control modules with −40 °C to +125 °C operation |
| Internal compensation | Eliminates external compensation network; reduces BOM count and layout sensitivity while maintaining stability across 0.8–18 V VOUT |
| 30 nA shutdown current | Enables <1 µA system standby power when paired with low-IQ microcontrollers in key-off automotive states |
| 13 ns minimum on-time | Supports high step-down ratios (e.g., 12 V → 0.8 V at 3 MHz) without pulse-skipping or audible noise |
| Integrated soft-start | 200 µs controlled VOUT ramp prevents inrush current into downstream capacitance, eliminating need for external timing components |
Applications
| Automotive Infotainment Power | USB-C PD Sink Regulation |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Ultra-low-IQ buck converter enabling >10-year battery life at 10 µA average load, with fast wake-up from shutdown. Use Value: 30 nA shutdown current and 1.5 mA operating IQ directly extend usable battery capacity beyond what linear regulators can achieve. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down DC-DC regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62130ARGTR | 3 MHz sync buck, 3–17 V input, 1.2 A, 12 µA IQ, no AEC-Q100 grade | Higher light-load efficiency but lacks automotive qualification and 30 nA shutdown | Preferred for industrial IoT where AEC-Q100 is not required and longer battery life at µA loads is critical |
| MP2315GJ-Z | 2.2–15 V input, 1.5 A, 500 kHz–1.5 MHz adjustable freq, 25 µA IQ, no AEC-Q100 | Lower switching frequency increases inductor size; no automotive qualification or 30 nA shutdown | Suitable for cost-sensitive consumer applications where footprint and qualification are secondary to BOM cost |
Compared with TPS62130ARGTR and MP2315GJ-Z, LM2734ZQSDE/NOPB uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, 30 nA shutdown, and 3 MHz fixed-frequency operation in a 3 mm × 3 mm LLP package - making it the only option among the three qualified for automotive under-hood and infotainment systems requiring guaranteed reliability and minimal standby power.

FAQ
What is the package type and thermal pad configuration of LM2734ZQSDE/NOPB?
The LM2734ZQSDE/NOPB uses a 6-lead LLP package measuring 3 mm × 3 mm with an exposed die attach pad (DAP) internally connected to GND. This DAP must be soldered to a thermal pad on the PCB with ≥4 thermal vias to a solid ground plane to achieve the specified θJA of 118 °C/W and ensure reliable operation at 1 A continuous load.
Does LM2734ZQSDE/NOPB require external compensation components?
No, LM2734ZQSDE/NOPB features fully internal compensation, eliminating the need for external RC networks. This simplifies design, reduces bill-of-materials count, and improves layout robustness - especially critical in high-density automotive PCBs where routing space is constrained and noise immunity is essential.
What is the minimum output voltage supported by LM2734ZQSDE/NOPB and how is it set?
LM2734ZQSDE/NOPB supports a minimum output voltage of 0.8 V, set by its internal 0.8 V ±2% reference connected to the FB pin. Output voltage is adjusted using a resistor divider (R1 from VOUT to FB, R2 from FB to GND), with R2 = 10 kΩ recommended for optimal accuracy and noise immunity.
How does the BOOST pin function in LM2734ZQSDE/NOPB and what capacitor value is required?
The BOOST pin supplies gate drive voltage to the internal NMOS switch via a bootstrap capacitor connected between BOOST and SW. A 0.01 µF X7R/X5R ceramic capacitor rated ≥6.3 V is required; it must be placed adjacent to the IC with minimal trace length to sustain ≥2.5 V gate drive margin and prevent switch dropout at high duty cycles.
Is LM2734ZQSDE/NOPB compatible with WEBENCH® design tools?
Yes, LM2734ZQSDE/NOPB is fully supported in Texas Instruments' WEBENCH® Power Designer. Engineers can generate complete schematic and BOM, simulate efficiency and thermal performance, select optimized inductors/capacitors, and export layout-ready designs - all validated against the official LM2734Z electrical characteristics and application notes.
