Product details
Overview
LM2830XMFX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a monolithic, high-frequency PWM step-down DC-DC regulator in a 5-pin SOT-23 package, delivering 1.0-A output current with internal 130-mΩ PMOS switch, 1.6-MHz fixed switching frequency, and 0.6-V ±2% internal reference voltage. It regulates 5-V input to stable 3.3-V output for core power in space-constrained USB-powered devices and set-top boxes.
For engineers reviewing the LM2830XMFX/NOPB datasheet, LM2830XMFX/NOPB pinout, LM2830XMFX/NOPB application, or LM2830XMFX/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (3.0–5.5 V), output voltage adjustability (0.6–4.5 V), thermal shutdown (165°C), soft-start timing (~600 µs), and quiescent current in shutdown (30 nA).
Technical Context
The LM2830XMFX/NOPB implements current-mode PWM control with internal compensation, enabling stable regulation across load and line variations without external loop components. Its 1.6-MHz oscillator supports ceramic inductors as small as 3.3 µH and chip capacitors down to 22 µF while maintaining <1% load regulation at 1-A full load.
It integrates undervoltage lockout (UVLO rising threshold 2.73 V, hysteresis 430 mV), cycle-by-cycle current limiting (1.75-A typical limit), and output overvoltage protection (15% above 0.6-V reference). The 5-pin SOT-23 layout places GND adjacent to FB for low-noise feedback routing and minimizes parasitic inductance on the SW node.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 1.0 A continuous - supports single-core processors and USB peripherals without external current boosting. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.6 MHz fixed - enables use of ≤3.3-µH shielded inductors and eliminates audible noise in consumer audio systems. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.0 V to 5.5 V - compatible with Li-ion battery packs (3.3 V min) and standard 5-V USB/USB-C power rails. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.600 V ±2% - sets output voltage via resistor divider; allows precise 3.3-V, 2.5-V, or 1.2-V regulation with <1% error. |
| PMOS RDS(on) | 130 mΩ (SOT-23) - limits conduction loss to ≤130 mW at 1-A load, supporting >90% peak efficiency at 5-V→3.3-V conversion. |
| Shutdown Current | 30 nA - enables ultra-low-power standby in battery-backed systems without requiring external load switches. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 165°C junction - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design; auto-recovery at ~150°C. |
Pinout & Package
LM2830XMFX/NOPB uses the 5-pin SOT-23 package (2.90 mm × 1.60 mm), optimized for minimal PCB area and thermal performance via exposed pad grounding in WSON variants (not applicable here). Pin functions are validated per TI SNVS454E Rev E.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (Pin 1) | Switch Node Output | Connects directly to inductor and catch diode anode; carries high di/dt pulsed current - requires short, wide trace and ground plane clearance. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Signal & Power Ground | Primary return path for feedback network and internal regulators; bottom resistor of FB divider must be placed adjacent to this pin. |
| FB (Pin 3) | Voltage Feedback Input | Senses output via resistive divider; high-impedance (≤100 nA bias) - sensitive to noise; routed away from SW and EN traces. |
| EN (Pin 4) | Enable Control Input | Active-high logic interface; 1.8-V threshold - pulled up to VIN via 100-kΩ resistor for default operation; floats to shutdown if left open. |
| VIN (Pin 5) | Power Input Supply | Accepts 3.0–5.5 V; supplies both control circuitry and PMOS gate drive; requires local 22-µF ceramic bypass capacitor within 5 mm. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internal Soft-Start | Ramps reference from 0 V to 0.6 V over ~600 µs - limits inrush current into 22-µF output capacitors during cold start. |
| Current-Mode Control | Enables fast transient response (<10 µs to settle after 500-mA load step) without external compensation components. |
| Overvoltage Protection | Shuts off PMOS when FB exceeds 0.69 V (15% above 0.6-V reference) - prevents damage to downstream 3.3-V logic during feedback fault. |
| Undervoltage Lockout | Disables regulator below 2.3 V (falling) and re-enables above 2.73 V (rising) - avoids brownout oscillation during battery discharge. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Halts switching at 165°C junction temperature and resumes only after cooldown to ~150°C - prevents permanent silicon damage. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62231DRVR | 1.8-MHz switching, 0.6-V reference, 1.0-A rating, but uses external compensation and lacks OVP. | Requires additional RC network for stability; no built-in overvoltage protection - needs external clamp for safety-critical 3.3-V rails. | Select when board space allows extra components and OVP is handled elsewhere in system design. |
| AP3418KTR-G1 | 1.5-MHz frequency, 0.6-V reference, 1.0-A rating, but higher RDS(on) (200 mΩ) and no thermal shutdown. | Lower efficiency (≈87% at 1-A), no thermal fault protection - unsuitable for sealed enclosures or high ambient temperatures. | Consider only for cost-driven, non-thermal-challenged applications where 90°C max ambient is guaranteed. |
Compared with TPS62231DRVR and AP3418KTR-G1, LM2830XMFX/NOPB provides integrated OVP, thermal shutdown, and internal compensation in the smallest SOT-23 footprint - simplifying design validation and reducing time-to-market for USB and STB platforms.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LM2830XMFX/NOPB?
The LM2830XMFX/NOPB delivers up to 1.0 A of continuous output current under recommended operating conditions (TJ ≤ 125°C, VIN = 5 V, VOUT = 3.3 V). Its cycle-by-cycle current limit is specified at 1.2 A minimum and 1.75 A typical, ensuring safe operation even during transient overloads. Derating is required above 85°C ambient due to thermal constraints in the SOT-23 package.
Does the LM2830XMFX/NOPB require external compensation components?
No, the LM2830XMFX/NOPB uses internally compensated current-mode control architecture. Unlike many buck controllers, it operates stably with only five external components (input cap, output cap, inductor, catch diode, and FB divider) - no external compensation network is needed, simplifying layout and reducing BOM cost.
What is the purpose of the EN pin on the LM2830XMFX/NOPB?
The EN pin on the LM2830XMFX/NOPB is an active-high enable input that controls device startup and shutdown. Driving EN ≥1.8 V enables regulation; pulling EN <0.4 V disables the IC, reducing quiescent current to 30 nA. It must not float - TI recommends connecting it to VIN via a 100-kΩ pull-up resistor for default operation.
Can the LM2830XMFX/NOPB be used to generate a 1.2-V output?
Yes, the LM2830XMFX/NOPB supports adjustable output voltages from 0.6 V to 4.5 V using an external resistor divider on the FB pin. For 1.2-V output, use R1 = 15.0 kΩ and R2 = 15.0 kΩ (per TI's Bill of Materials in SNVS454E), yielding VOUT = 0.6 × (1 + R1/R2) = 1.2 V with <1% accuracy over temperature and line variation.
How does the LM2830XMFX/NOPB handle overvoltage conditions?
The LM2830XMFX/NOPB includes internal output overvoltage protection (OVP) that monitors the FB pin. If the feedback voltage exceeds 0.69 V (15% above the 0.6-V reference), the internal PMOS switch is immediately disabled, allowing the output to decay safely. This protects downstream 3.3-V logic from damage during feedback resistor failure or solder shorts.
