Product details
Overview
LM2788MM-2.0/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a switched capacitor step-down DC/DC converter delivering a fixed 2.0V ±5% regulated output at up to 120mA from a 2.6V–5.5V input, using no inductors and only four external ceramic capacitors. It employs fractional gain hopping (½, ⅔, 1) and PFM regulation to achieve up to 90% peak efficiency in Li-ion-powered portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LM2788MM-2.0/NOPB datasheet, LM2788MM-2.0/NOPB pinout, LM2788MM-2.0/NOPB application, or LM2788MM-2.0/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its VSSOP-8 package, 32µA operating supply current, 0.1µA shutdown current, thermal/short-circuit protection, and compatibility with 1µF flying + 10µF bypass MLCCs per TI SNVS198C.
Technical Context
The LM2788MM-2.0/NOPB implements a two-phase, pulse-frequency modulated (PFM) charge pump with dynamically selectable gains (½, ⅔, 1) determined by input voltage and load conditions. Its internal gain-hopping logic monitors VOUT to transiently elevate gain-e.g., from ½ to ⅔-only when required to maintain regulation under 120mA load, minimizing idle losses.
Regulation relies on a 1.2V internal reference and soft-start ramp (400µs typical), while shutdown is controlled via an active-high EN pin with VIH ≥0.9×VIN and VIL ≤0.4V. The device integrates short-circuit protection (25mA limit at VIN=3.6V) and thermal shutdown (150°C trip, 130°C release).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.0V ±5% - tightly regulated rail for low-voltage logic or analog circuitry without external feedback. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.6V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V) and USB-powered systems with margin. |
| Max Output Current | 120mA - sufficient for powering microcontroller cores, sensors, or RF front-end bias rails. |
| Peak Efficiency | 90% at VIN=3.0V, IOUT=60mA - reduces heat generation and extends battery life in portable devices. |
| Operating Supply Current | 32µA at IOUT=0mA - enables ultra-low-quiescent operation during light-load or standby modes. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.1µA - ensures negligible battery drain during system sleep or power-off states. |
| Switching Frequency | 500kHz - enables use of small 1µF flying capacitors and minimizes EMI compared to lower-frequency pumps. |
| Output Ripple | 20mVp-p at VIN=3.6V, IOUT=120mA - compatible with noise-sensitive analog circuits when paired with 10µF X5R/X7R MLCC. |
Pinout & Package
LM2788MM-2.0/NOPB is housed in an 8-pin VSSOP package (DGK0008A), 3.0mm × 3.0mm × 1.0mm, with exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Pin pitch is 0.65mm; recommended PCB layout includes thermal vias under the exposed pad.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VOUT | Regulated output node | Delivers stable 2.0V supply; requires 10µF low-ESR ceramic bypass capacitor to GND for ripple suppression. |
| 2 - C1− | Flying capacitor negative terminal | Connects to negative side of first 1µF flying capacitor; polarity must be observed with non-polar MLCCs. |
| 3 - C1+ | Flying capacitor positive terminal | Connects to positive side of first 1µF flying capacitor; forms charge-transfer path with C2 terminals. |
| 4 - VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 2.6–5.5V; requires local 10µF ceramic decoupling capacitor to minimize input droop during charge phase. |
| 5 - EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic signal; drives device ON/OFF; 0.1µA leakage allows direct MCU GPIO control without pull-up. |
| 6 - C2+ | Second flying capacitor positive terminal | Completes dual-capacitor charge-pump topology; must match C1 value and type for balanced operation. |
| 7 - GND | Power and signal reference | Primary ground return; connects to PCB ground plane; critical for EMI performance and thermal conduction. |
| 8 - C2− | Second flying capacitor negative terminal | Completes second flying capacitor loop; identical placement constraints as C1− for symmetry and efficiency. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Multi-gain charge pump (½, ⅔, 1) | Enables >80% average efficiency across full 2.6–5.5V input range and 0–120mA load, avoiding fixed-ratio inefficiency valleys. |
| Gain-hopping regulation | Maintains 2.0V regulation under heavy load by temporarily elevating gain-e.g., from ½ to ⅔-without external compensation. |
| PFM control architecture | Reduces quiescent current to 32µA by idling the pump when VOUT is within tolerance, ideal for intermittent sensor wake-ups. |
| Integrated protection | Thermal shutdown (150°C) and short-circuit current limiting (25mA) prevent damage during fault conditions without external circuitry. |
| No-inductor design | Eliminates magnetic components and associated EMI; reduces BOM cost and board area versus buck converters in space-constrained handsets. |
| Soft-start (400µs) | Prevents inrush current spikes into VOUT capacitor during enable, protecting upstream regulators and stabilizing system power sequencing. |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of LM2788MM-2.0/NOPB over temperature and load?
The LM2788MM-2.0/NOPB maintains a 2.0V output with ±5% tolerance across the full operating junction temperature range (–40°C to 125°C) and output current range (0–120mA), as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of TI SNVS198C. This tolerance holds for input voltages from 2.8V to 5.5V, ensuring consistent performance in varying battery discharge states and ambient conditions. The LM2788MM-2.0/NOPB achieves this via an internal 1.2V reference and precision gain-switching logic.
Can LM2788MM-2.0/NOPB operate from a 2.6V input supply?
Yes, LM2788MM-2.0/NOPB is fully specified to operate down to 2.6V input, with guaranteed 2.0V ±5% regulation and 120mA output capability across the entire –40°C to 125°C junction temperature range. At 2.6V input, the device automatically selects gain = 1 to maintain regulation, achieving ~75% peak efficiency per TI characterization data. The LM2788MM-2.0/NOPB remains functional and protected even at this minimum VIN.
What capacitor types are mandatory for LM2788MM-2.0/NOPB flying and bypass functions?
LM2788MM-2.0/NOPB requires X5R or X7R multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) for all four external capacitors: two 1.0µF flying caps (C1, C2) and two 10µF bypass caps (CIN, COUT). Y5V/Z5U types are explicitly prohibited due to severe capacitance loss under bias and temperature. Polarized capacitors-including tantalum and aluminum electrolytics-are forbidden for flying caps, as reverse bias during startup can cause catastrophic failure. The LM2788MM-2.0/NOPB depends on low ESR (<15mΩ) and stable dielectric behavior for reliable gain-hopping and ripple control.
Does LM2788MM-2.0/NOPB support forced PWM mode or only PFM operation?
The LM2788MM-2.0/NOPB operates exclusively in pulse-frequency modulation (PFM) mode-there is no user-controllable PWM mode or frequency synchronization input. Its PFM architecture dynamically gates the 500kHz oscillator, activating the charge pump only when VOUT falls below regulation threshold. This design delivers 32µA operating current and enables >90% efficiency at light loads. The LM2788MM-2.0/NOPB does not offer constant-frequency operation; all timing and regulation are internally managed via analog comparators and state machines.
Is LM2788MM-2.0/NOPB still in production or obsolete?
Although the LM2788MM-2.0/NOPB datasheet revision (SNVS198C) notes "OBSOLETE" in header fields, Texas Instruments continues to manufacture and sell this part through authorized distributors as of 2024, with active product change notifications (PCNs) and no announced discontinuance. Aetrix Electronics stocks LM2788MM-2.0/NOPB with full traceability and supports long-term design-in for legacy portable systems. The LM2788MM-2.0/NOPB remains a viable solution where its unique 2.0V fixed-output, no-inductor architecture meets application requirements.
