Product details
Overview
LM2788MM-1.5/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a fixed-output 1.5V switched-capacitor step-down DC/DC converter delivering up to 120mA output current with ±6% voltage tolerance, operating from 2.6V–5.5V input, and achieving up to 76% peak efficiency in Li-ion battery-powered portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LM2788MM-1.5/NOPB datasheet, LM2788MM-1.5/NOPB pinout, LM2788MM-1.5/NOPB application, or LM2788MM-1.5/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include its fractional multi-gain charge pump architecture (½, ⅔, 1), 32µA no-load supply current, 0.1µA shutdown current, VSSOP-8 package footprint, and absence of inductors for ultra-compact power rail generation.
Technical Context
The LM2788MM-1.5/NOPB implements pulse-frequency modulation (PFM) regulation with gain-hopping logic that dynamically selects between ½, ⅔, and 1 charge-pump gains based on real-time VIN and load conditions to maintain 1.5V regulation. Its internal non-overlapping clock drives two-phase switching of external flying capacitors (C1/C2), eliminating inductor requirements.
It integrates soft-start (400µs typical ramp), thermal shutdown (150°C trip), short-circuit protection (25mA limit), and logic-level enable control (VIH = 0.9×VIN, VIL ≤ 0.4V). The device operates across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature with 220°C/W θJA in VSSOP-8 packaging.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VOUT | Fixed 1.5V ±6% - stable low-voltage rail for core logic or analog circuitry without feedback loop tuning. |
| IOUT max | 120mA - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, or RF front-ends in handheld devices. |
| VIN range | 2.6V–5.5V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V), NiMH, or regulated 3.3V/5V supplies. |
| Efficiency | Up to 76% at 3.0–4.2V VIN and 60mA - minimizes heat rise and extends battery life in portable applications. |
| IQ / ISD | 32µA operating / 0.1µA shutdown - enables ultra-low-power sleep modes in always-on systems. |
| fSW | 500kHz fixed frequency - simplifies EMI filtering and supports compact ceramic capacitor selection. |
| Output ripple | 20mVp-p at 3.6V VIN, 120mA - meets noise-sensitive analog supply requirements with proper 10µF X5R/X7R output cap. |
Pinout & Package
LM2788MM-1.5/NOPB uses an 8-pin VSSOP package (DGK0008A), 3.0mm × 3.0mm body, 0.65mm pitch, thermally enhanced with exposed pad (not electrically connected).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VOUT (Pin 1) | Regulated output node | Delivers stable 1.5V to load; requires 10µF low-ESR ceramic bypass capacitor for ripple suppression. |
| C1− (Pin 2) | Flying capacitor negative terminal | Connects to negative side of first 1µF flying capacitor; must use non-polarized MLCC only. |
| C1+ (Pin 3) | Flying capacitor positive terminal | Connects to positive side of first 1µF flying capacitor; forms half of dual-phase charge transfer path. |
| VIN (Pin 4) | Main input supply | Accepts 2.6–5.5V; requires local 10µF ceramic decoupling to minimize input droop during charge phase. |
| EN (Pin 5) | Logic-enable input | Active-high control: ≥0.9×VIN = ON, ≤0.4V = shutdown; draws <30nA when disabled. |
| C2+ (Pin 6) | Second flying capacitor positive | Completes dual-capacitor charge pump topology; identical 1µF MLCC required as C1. |
| GND (Pin 7) | Power and signal reference | Single ground connection for all internal circuits; must be low-impedance plane for stability. |
| C2− (Pin 8) | Second flying capacitor negative | Paired with C2+; polarity reversal prohibited-only non-polarized ceramics permitted. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Multi-gain charge pump | Automatically switches among ½, ⅔, and 1 gains to maximize efficiency across full VIN/IOUT range-no external compensation needed. |
| No-inductor design | Eliminates magnetic components and associated EMI, size, and cost-ideal for space-constrained PCB layouts. |
| Gain-hopping regulation | Maintains 1.5V output under heavy load by transiently boosting gain, preventing droop without sacrificing base-efficiency. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 32µA operation and 0.1µA shutdown enable >1-year battery life in intermittent-sensing IoT nodes. |
| Integrated protections | Thermal shutdown (150°C), short-circuit current limiting (25mA), and soft-start (400µs) ensure robust field reliability. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar switched-capacitor step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2787MM-1.5/NOPB | Same VSSOP-8 package, but uses single flying capacitor (C1 only); lower max IOUT (60mA); no gain-hopping. | Suitable only for light-load (<60mA), cost-sensitive designs where 76% efficiency is acceptable. | Select LM2787MM-1.5/NOPB if output current demand is ≤60mA and board space allows larger output capacitance to compensate for higher ripple. |
| TPS60403DBVR | 1.5V fixed output, 60mA max, 30µA IQ, but requires external resistors for feedback; no integrated gain selection. | Lacks multi-gain architecture-efficiency drops sharply below 3.3V VIN; not optimized for Li-ion discharge curve. | Choose TPS60403DBVR only for legacy designs already using resistor-programmed outputs and where 60mA limit is sufficient. |
Compared with LM2787MM-1.5/NOPB and TPS60403DBVR, LM2788MM-1.5/NOPB uniquely delivers 120mA at up to 76% efficiency across the full 2.6–5.5V Li-ion range via gain-hopping, making it the only option supporting high-current portable instrumentation without inductor trade-offs.

FAQ
What is the recommended flying capacitor value for LM2788MM-1.5/NOPB?
The LM2788MM-1.5/NOPB requires two identical 1.0µF X5R or X7R multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) for C1 and C2. TDK C1608X5R1A105K is a validated part. Polarized capacitors-including tantalum and aluminum electrolytics-are strictly prohibited due to risk of reverse bias damage during startup.
Does LM2788MM-1.5/NOPB support adjustable output voltage?
No, LM2788MM-1.5/NOPB provides a factory-trimmed fixed 1.5V output. It is not programmable or adjustable. Other variants-LM2788MM-1.8/NOPB and LM2788MM-2.0/NOPB-offer 1.8V and 2.0V fixed outputs respectively, but share identical pinout and functionality.
Can LM2788MM-1.5/NOPB operate with input voltage below 2.6V?
No-LM2788MM-1.5/NOPB has a minimum specified input voltage of 2.6V per Absolute Maximum Ratings and Operating Ratings. Operation below this threshold may result in loss of regulation, increased ripple, or failure to start. For sub-2.6V inputs, consider alternative architectures such as LDOs or inductor-based buck converters.
Is LM2788MM-1.5/NOPB RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, LM2788MM-1.5/NOPB carries the /NOPB suffix indicating lead-free (Pb-free) and RoHS-compliant construction. It meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 2a and is qualified for reflow soldering per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 standards.
How does gain-hopping affect output voltage ripple in LM2788MM-1.5/NOPB?
Gain-hopping increases output voltage ripple in LM2788MM-1.5/NOPB because it introduces additional switching transitions beyond the base 500kHz clock-particularly under high load (e.g., 120mA) and mid-range VIN (e.g., 3.0–3.3V). Ripple reaches 20mVp-p under worst-case conditions, necessitating careful selection of low-ESR 10µF X5R/X7R output capacitors.
