Product details
Overview
LM2734ZSD/NOPB from Texas Instruments (formerly National Semiconductor) is a monolithic 3 MHz PWM step-down DC-DC regulator in a 6-lead LLP (3mm × 3mm) package, featuring an internal 340 mΩ NMOS switch, 1 A output current capability, 0.8 V ±2% reference, and 30 nA shutdown current. It delivers point-of-load regulation for compact battery- or USB-powered systems requiring fast transient response and minimal PCB area.
For engineers reviewing the LM2734ZSD/NOPB datasheet, LM2734ZSD/NOPB pinout, LM2734ZSD/NOPB application, or LM2734ZSD/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 3 MHz switching frequency, internal compensation, current-mode control architecture, thermal shutdown, and output overvoltage protection - all critical for space-constrained, efficiency-sensitive power designs.
Technical Context
The LM2734ZSD/NOPB employs current-mode PWM control with internal compensation, enabling stable regulation across 3 V–20 V input and 0.8 V–18 V output ranges without external loop components. Its 13 ns minimum on-time supports high-frequency operation down to low duty cycles, essential for wide VIN/VOUT ratios.
It integrates soft-start (200 µs ramp), undervoltage lockout (2.74 V rising threshold, 440 mV hysteresis), cycle-by-cycle current limit (1.7 A typical), and thermal shutdown (165 °C trip). The BOOST pin requires external bootstrap capacitor and diode to sustain ≥2.5 V gate drive above SW for optimal NMOS conduction.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | Fixed 3 MHz - enables use of sub-2.2 µH inductors and 10 µF ceramic output capacitors, minimizing solution size. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3 V to 20 V - supports wide-input industrial, automotive, and adapter-fed applications without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.8 V to 18 V - set via external resistor divider; 0.8 V reference with ±2% accuracy ensures tight load regulation. |
| Max Output Current | 1 A continuous - delivered using integrated 340 mΩ NMOS switch (LLP package), reducing BOM count and layout complexity. |
| Shutdown Current | 30 nA - enables ultra-low-power standby in portable devices; EN pin logic-high enables operation. |
| Thermal Protection | Junction shutdown at 165 °C with 15 °C hysteresis - prevents damage during overload or poor heatsinking; DAP tied to GND enhances thermal dissipation. |
| Current Limit | 1.2 A min / 1.7 A typ - pulse-by-pulse limiting protects switch under short-circuit or heavy transient loads. |
Pinout & Package
LM2734ZSD/NOPB is housed in a thermally enhanced 6-lead LLP package (3 mm × 3 mm, NS Package Number SDE06A) with an exposed Die Attach Pad (DAP) internally connected to GND for improved thermal performance and EMI reduction.
| 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 overdrive during high-duty-cycle operation. |
| 2 - GND | Signal and power ground | Reference for FB, EN, and internal circuits; DAP connects here - must be soldered to large GND plane with ≥4 thermal vias for thermal management. |
| 3 - FB | Feedback input | High-impedance (≤250 nA bias) node monitoring output via resistor divider; trace must be short and远离 noisy nodes to avoid regulation error. |
| 4 - EN | Enable control input | Logic-compatible enable: <0.4 V disables (30 nA IQ), >1.8 V enables; must not float or exceed VIN + 0.3 V. |
| 5 - VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 3–20 V; requires local 10 µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin with low-ESL layout. |
| 6 - SW | Switch node | Connects to inductor, catch diode cathode, and BOOST capacitor; high dv/dt node - minimize trace area to reduce EMI and ringing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internal Compensation | Eliminates need for external compensation network - simplifies design, reduces component count, and ensures stability across full load/line/temp range. |
| 3 MHz Fixed Frequency | Enables use of miniature 1–2.2 µH shielded inductors and low-ESR ceramic capacitors - cuts total solution footprint by >40% vs 500 kHz regulators. |
| Integrated Soft-Start | 200 µs controlled VOUT ramp - limits inrush current into output capacitance, preventing input rail sag and system brownout during power-up. |
| Output Overvoltage Protection | Shuts off NMOS when FB exceeds 10% above 0.8 V reference - safeguards downstream ICs from fault-induced overvoltage events. |
| Thermally Optimized LLP | Exposed DAP with GND connection achieves θJA ≈ 60 °C/W on 4-layer board - sustains 1 A load at TA = 85 °C without forced air. |

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, 3 A output, 2.7–6 V input, integrated FETs, 12 µA IQ in PWM mode | Higher current, narrower input range - suited for single-cell Li-ion systems only | Select when >1 A load or tighter input range (e.g., 3.3 V system rail) is required; not drop-in due to different pinout and enable polarity. |
| RT8059GJ6 | 1.5 MHz, 2 A output, 2.5–5.5 V input, 25 µA IQ, no internal soft-start | Lower frequency, higher current, lower IQ - optimized for ultra-portable wearables | Choose for cost-sensitive, low-IQ applications where 1.5 MHz allows larger inductors; requires external soft-start circuit if inrush control is needed. |
Compared with TPS62130ARGTR and RT8059GJ6, LM2734ZSD/NOPB offers broader 3–20 V input compatibility and proven thermal performance in LLP packaging - making it preferred for industrial and multi-rail adapter-powered designs where input voltage variability and board-area constraints dominate.

FAQ
What is the recommended inductor value for LM2734ZSD/NOPB in a 5 V to 3.3 V, 1 A application?
For LM2734ZSD/NOPB operating at 3 MHz with 5 V input and 3.3 V output, a 1.5 µH shielded ferrite inductor rated for ≥1.25 A saturation current is recommended. This value balances ripple current (~0.4 A peak-to-peak), efficiency (>85%), and physical size. TI's WEBENCH® tool confirms 1.5 µH yields optimal transient response and thermal performance for this configuration.
Does LM2734ZSD/NOPB require an external catch diode?
Yes, LM2734ZSD/NOPB requires an external Schottky catch diode (e.g., RB055LAM-40) connected between SW and GND. The IC lacks synchronous rectification; the diode conducts during the NMOS off-time to maintain inductor current continuity. Diode selection must meet ≥1 A average current, ≤0.4 V forward voltage, and ≥20 V reverse rating for reliable operation.
Can LM2734ZSD/NOPB operate with input voltage below 3 V?
No, LM2734ZSD/NOPB has a guaranteed operating input range of 3 V to 20 V per its Absolute Maximum and Operating Ratings. Input below 3 V triggers undervoltage lockout (UVLO), disabling switching. The UVLO rising threshold is 2.74 V typical, but operation is not characterized or warranted below 3 V - use LM2734ZQ variants only for automotive cold-crank validation.
How is thermal performance affected by the DAP connection on LM2734ZSD/NOPB?
The DAP on LM2734ZSD/NOPB is internally tied to GND and must be soldered to a dedicated thermal pad on the PCB with ≥4 thermal vias to an inner GND plane. Without this, θJA degrades from ~60 °C/W to >100 °C/W, risking thermal shutdown at 1 A load above 60 °C ambient. Proper DAP grounding reduces junction temperature rise by up to 45 °C under full load.
Is LM2734ZSD/NOPB pin-compatible with LM2734ZMK (TSOT-23-6)?
No, LM2734ZSD/NOPB (6-lead LLP) and LM2734ZMK (6-lead TSOT-23) share identical pin functions but differ in physical layout, thermal pad presence, and package dimensions. The LLP exposes a DAP requiring PCB thermal relief, while TSOT-23 has no exposed pad. They are functionally equivalent but not mechanically interchangeable - redesign of footprint and thermal layout is required for substitution.
