Product details
Overview
LM2832YSDX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a monolithic, current-mode PWM step-down DC-DC regulator in an 8-pin eMSOP-PowerPAD package, delivering 2.0A output at 3.3V from a 5V input. It integrates a 150 mΩ PMOS switch, features 0.6V ±2% internal reference, 550 kHz fixed switching frequency, and supports fast transient response in space-constrained power rails for USB-powered devices and set-top boxes.
For engineers reviewing the LM2832YSDX/NOPB datasheet, LM2832YSDX/NOPB pinout, LM2832YSDX/NOPB application, or LM2832YSDX/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 550 kHz operation, thermal shutdown at 165°C, 30 nA shutdown current, internal soft-start (600 µs), and output overvoltage protection triggered at FB = 1.15 × VREF.
Technical Context
The LM2832YSDX/NOPB implements constant-frequency current-mode PWM control with internal compensation, enabling stable regulation without external loop components. Its architecture includes pulse-by-pulse current limiting (3.25A typ), undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with 430 mV hysteresis, and a dedicated feedback amplifier referenced to a trimmed 0.6V bandgap.
It uses a high-speed 0.5 µm BiCMOS process to achieve 30 ns minimum on-time, supporting high duty-cycle operation down to 0.6V output across the 3.0–5.5V input range. The eMSOP-PowerPAD package integrates a thermally enhanced Die Attach Pad connected to system ground for junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 80°C/W (with 2 oz copper, 4-layer board).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 550 kHz - enables use of sub-2.2 µH inductors and ceramic capacitors under 22 µF for compact layout |
| Output Current | 2.0A continuous - sufficient for core power in HDDs and USB peripherals without external current boosting |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.0V to 5.5V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion, USB 5V, and regulated 3.3V/5V rails |
| Feedback Reference | 0.600 V ±2% - sets output voltage via external resistor divider; enables 3.3V @ 2.0A with R1/R2 ratio of 4.5 |
| Quiescent Current | 2.8–4.5 mA (switching), 30 nA (shutdown) - minimizes standby loss in battery-backed systems |
| Thermal Shutdown | 165°C activation, ~150°C recovery - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design |
| Enable Threshold | VEN_TH = 1.8V (min), 0.4V (max shutdown) - supports direct logic-level enable from 1.8V/3.3V microcontrollers |
Pinout & Package
The LM2832YSDX/NOPB is housed in an 8-pin eMSOP-PowerPAD package (4.9 mm × 6.0 mm × 1.05 mm) with exposed thermal pad (DAP) requiring solder connection to PCB ground plane for optimal thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIND | Power input supply | Main VIN path to internal PMOS switch; must be decoupled with ≥22 µF ceramic capacitor near pin |
| VINA | Control circuitry supply | Bias rail for internal logic; must be tied directly to VIND on PCB to avoid noise coupling |
| GND (Pins 3,5,7) | Signal & power ground | Primary return for feedback network and power paths; bottom resistor of FB divider must connect here |
| EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic interface; floating or >VINA+0.3V causes undefined behavior |
| FB | Feedback input | High-impedance node (100 nA bias); connects to resistor divider; trace must be short and noise-shielded |
| SW | Switch node | Drives external inductor and catch diode; high dv/dt node requiring tight layout and minimal parasitic inductance |
| DAP | Die Attach Pad | Thermal interface only - must be soldered to solid ground plane with ≥4 thermal vias; not a functional GND |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internal soft-start | 600 µs ramp time prevents inrush current into output capacitors during power-up |
| Output overvoltage protection | Triggers at FB = 1.15 × 0.6V (0.69V), disabling SW until fault clears - protects downstream 3.3V logic |
| Pulse-by-pulse current limit | 3.25A typical switch current limit prevents damage during short-circuit or startup overload |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | 165°C trip / ~150°C recovery ensures safe cooldown before resuming operation |
| Current-mode PWM control | Enables inherent line/load transient response and eliminates need for external compensation network |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2832XSDX/NOPB | 1.6 MHz switching frequency, higher DMAX (96%), lower θJA (80°C/W) | Better suited for ultra-compact layouts needing <1 µH inductors and tighter ripple specs | Select when board area is critical and input voltage remains ≥4.5V; verify thermal margin at full 2A load |
| TPS62231DRVR | 3 MHz sync buck, 0.6V ref, 2A, but requires external compensation and has no OVP | Lacks integrated overvoltage protection and thermal shutdown; needs additional fault monitoring | Choose only if 3 MHz operation and synchronous rectification outweigh missing safety features |
Compared with LM2832XSDX/NOPB, the LM2832YSDX/NOPB trades higher frequency for improved light-load efficiency and lower EMI; versus TPS62231DRVR, it provides integrated protection and simpler layout at the cost of slightly larger passive components.

FAQ
What is the exact switching frequency of LM2832YSDX/NOPB?
The LM2832YSDX/NOPB has a factory-trimmed fixed switching frequency of 550 kHz, with guaranteed range of 400 kHz to 700 kHz over temperature (−40°C to +125°C) and input voltage (3.0V to 5.5V). This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table of SNVS455A Rev. April 2013, and is distinct from the 1.6 MHz (X) and 3.0 MHz (Z) variants.
Does LM2832YSDX/NOPB require external compensation components?
No, the LM2832YSDX/NOPB uses internally compensated current-mode control architecture. No external compensation network (e.g., type-II or type-III compensator) is required - only the FB resistor divider, input/output capacitors, inductor, and catch diode are needed for full operation per the Typical Application Circuit in the datasheet.
Can LM2832YSDX/NOPB operate with a 3.3V input to generate 3.3V output?
No - the LM2832YSDX/NOPB is a buck (step-down) regulator only and cannot achieve unity-gain or boost operation. Minimum output voltage is 0.6V, but minimum input must exceed output by sufficient margin to sustain regulation: at 3.3V output, VIN must be ≥3.6V (accounting for diode drop and RDSON losses). For 3.3V-in/3.3V-out, a LDO or buck-boost is required.
What is the maximum output current capability of LM2832YSDX/NOPB at 5V input and 3.3V output?
The LM2832YSDX/NOPB delivers up to 2.0A continuous output current at 5V input → 3.3V output under standard conditions (TA = 25°C, 2 oz copper, 4-layer PCB, 22 µF input/output caps). Derating applies above 85°C ambient or with inadequate thermal vias; full 2A is maintained up to +125°C junction temperature with proper DAP grounding.
Is LM2832YSDX/NOPB RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, LM2832YSDX/NOPB is RoHS-compliant and lead-free per TI's official product change notification (PCN) and packaging data. The "NOPB" suffix explicitly denotes lead-free (NiPdAu terminal finish), and the device meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 2a (260°C reflow peak).
