Product details
Overview
LM2735YMFX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 520-kHz, 2.1-A low-side NMOS boost/SEPIC DC/DC regulator in SOT-23-5 package, supporting 2.7 V–5.5 V input and up to 24 V output with ±2% feedback voltage accuracy and 170-mΩ switch RDS(ON). It delivers up to 90% efficiency in portable LCD backlighting and USB-powered white LED current source applications.
For engineers reviewing the LM2735YMFX/NOPB datasheet, LM2735YMFX/NOPB pinout, LM2735YMFX/NOPB application, or LM2735YMFX/NOPB equivalent, this page provides verified pin functions, real-world efficiency curves at 12 V/20 V outputs, soft-start timing (4 ms), shutdown quiescent current (80 nA), and validated alternative options for boost converter design.
Technical Context
The LM2735YMFX/NOPB implements fixed-frequency current-mode control with internal compensation and a 520-kHz oscillator, enabling stable regulation without external loop components. Its architecture integrates pulse-by-pulse current limiting, thermal shutdown at 160°C, and logic-high enable functionality.
It operates as a low-side switch regulator requiring an external diode and inductor, supporting both boost and SEPIC topologies. The device uses a 1.255-V internal reference and achieves ±2% VFB accuracy over –40°C to 125°C, with duty cycle range of 2%–99% and maximum switch current of 2.1 A across temperature.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2735XMF/NOPB | 1.6-MHz switching frequency vs. 520 kHz; same pinout and package but higher RDS(ON) (190 mΩ in WSON) | Better suited for ultra-compact layouts needing <10 µH inductors; lower efficiency at high load due to increased switching loss | Select when board space is constrained and 12 V/200 mA output suffices |
| TPS61040DRVR | 600-kHz frequency, 0.5-A switch current, 5-pin SOT-23, ±1.5% VFB accuracy, 25-µA operating IQ | Lower current capability limits use to ≤150 mA outputs; lacks thermal shutdown and has no SEPIC support | Select only for low-power, cost-sensitive applications where 2.1-A peak current is unnecessary |
Compared with LM2735YMFX/NOPB, LM2735XMF/NOPB trades efficiency for smaller magnetics, while TPS61040DRVR offers tighter VFB tolerance but sacrifices robustness, current headroom, and topology flexibility-making LM2735YMFX/NOPB optimal for 350+ mA boost/SEPIC designs requiring thermal protection and wide input range.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage achievable with LM2735YMFX/NOPB?
The LM2735YMFX/NOPB supports output voltages up to 24 V when configured in boost topology, limited by the 26.5-V absolute maximum SW pin rating and external diode/voltage-divider selection. At 24 V output, efficiency drops to ~75% at full 350 mA load with 5 V input, per TI's typical efficiency curves. Designers must verify thermal performance using RθJA = 164.2°C/W for the SOT-23 package under actual board conditions.
Does LM2735YMFX/NOPB support SEPIC topology, and what external components are required?
Yes, LM2735YMFX/NOPB supports SEPIC topology using two coupled inductors or a single coupled inductor with center tap, plus one capacitor and one diode. Unlike boost, SEPIC provides input-output isolation and can regulate output even if input drops below output voltage. Required external components include: input capacitor (≥22 µF), output capacitor (≥10 µF), coupling capacitor (≥10 µF), diode (Schottky, 20 V rating), and inductor(s). No changes to LM2735YMFX/NOPB configuration are needed-only the external passive network differs.
What is the purpose of the AGND pin, and why is it separate from GND on some LM2735 variants?
The LM2735YMFX/NOPB does not have an AGND pin-it uses a single GND pin (Pin 2) for both signal and power return, as confirmed by its SOT-23-5 pinout in the datasheet. AGND appears only on the 6-pin WSON and 8-pin MSOP-PowerPAD variants to separate analog reference ground from power ground, improving noise immunity for the feedback amplifier. Since LM2735YMFX/NOPB is the SOT-23 version, all ground-referenced circuitry shares the single GND pin, and layout best practice is to place the bottom feedback resistor directly adjacent to it.
How does the soft-start function of LM2735YMFX/NOPB operate, and can it be adjusted?
The LM2735YMFX/NOPB implements internal soft-start with a fixed 4-ms ramp time, during which the internal error amplifier reference voltage rises linearly from 0 V to 1.255 V. This controls output voltage slew rate and limits inrush current into output capacitors. Soft-start timing is not adjustable-no external capacitor or resistor modifies it. Designers must size the output capacitor to ensure peak inrush current stays within diode and switch SOA limits; typical designs use 10–22 µF X5R ceramics with low ESR.
Is LM2735YMFX/NOPB qualified for automotive applications?
No, LM2735YMFX/NOPB is not automotive-qualified. It is rated for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +125°C) but lacks AEC-Q100 qualification, automotive-specific testing, or PPAP documentation. For automotive use, TI specifies the LM2735-Q1 variant, which undergoes extended reliability testing, includes enhanced ESD protection (±4 kV HBM), and is manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities. LM2735YMFX/NOPB should only be used in consumer, industrial, or medical portable equipment-not in vehicle infotainment, ADAS, or body control modules.
