Product details
Overview
LM2841YMK-ADJL/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a non-synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator in SOT-6L package, delivering up to 300 mA output current with 0.765 V feedback reference voltage, 1.25 MHz fixed switching frequency (Y option), and 4.5 V to 42 V input range - used in battery-powered instrumentation and industrial distributed power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LM2841YMK-ADJL/NOPB datasheet, LM2841YMK-ADJL/NOPB pinout, LM2841YMK-ADJL/NOPB application, or LM2841YMK-ADJL/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 300 mA load capability, 1.25 MHz operation enabling compact external components, low 16 µA shutdown current, internal 0.9 Ω MOSFET switch, and adjustable output via FB pin.
Technical Context
The LM2841YMK-ADJL/NOPB implements current-mode PWM control with cycle-by-cycle current limiting and thermal shutdown at 175°C. Its internal high-side N-channel MOSFET features 0.9 Ω typical RDS(ON), and gate drive is managed via CB–SW bootstrap circuitry with dedicated CB undervoltage lockout.
It operates in continuous conduction mode with minimum ON-time of 100 ns and maximum duty cycle of 87% (Y option), supporting output voltage adjustment from 0.765 V upward using an external resistor divider on the FB pin. Input UVLO activates at 3.7 V (on) / 3.5 V (off).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 42 V - supports wide-input industrial and automotive battery systems without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | Up to 300 mA - confirmed for LM2841 variant per device family specification and electrical characteristics table. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.25 MHz (Y option) - enables use of small inductors (e.g., 10–15 µH) and ceramic capacitors for compact layout. |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 0.765 V ±1.5% - sets output voltage accuracy and allows precise adjustment down to sub-1 V with external resistors. |
| Shutdown Quiescent Current | 16 µA typical - minimizes battery drain in standby mode for portable equipment. |
| RDS(ON) | 0.9 Ω typical - ensures >85% typical efficiency at mid-load and reduces thermal stress under full 300 mA load. |
| Minimum ON-Time | 100 ns - supports high VIN/VOUT ratios (e.g., 42 V → 3.3 V) without pulse-skipping instability. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-6L (DDC) package, 1.60 mm × 2.90 mm body size, low-profile surface-mount construction optimized for thermal performance and PCB space efficiency.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CB | Bootstrap bias supply | Provides gate drive voltage for internal high-side MOSFET; requires 0.15 µF ceramic capacitor between CB and SW. |
| GND | Power and signal ground | Common return path for internal circuitry, feedback amplifier, and thermal sensing; must be low-impedance PCB plane. |
| FB | Feedback input | Monitors output voltage via resistor divider; regulates VOUT = 0.765 V × (1 + R1/R2); bias current <1 µA avoids divider error. |
| SHDN | Logic-level enable/disable | Pull ≥2.3 V to enable; ≤0.3 V to disable; 16 µA shutdown current; must not float - tie to VIN if unused. |
| VIN | Main power input | Accepts 4.5–42 V; includes UVLO (3.7 V on/3.5 V off) and internal ESD protection; decoupled with 2.2 µF ceramic capacitor. |
| SW | Switch node output | Drives external inductor and Schottky diode; connects to CBOOT; peak voltage reaches VIN during operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internally compensated | Eliminates need for external compensation network - simplifies design and improves stability across operating conditions. |
| Soft-start via SHDN pin | RC-controlled ramp-up of current limit enables user-tailored startup time and limits inrush current into output capacitance. |
| Short-circuit protected | Cycle-by-cycle current limiting prevents damage during output fault; limits switch current to 525 mA (typical) at room temperature. |
| Thermal shutdown | Engages at 175°C (typical) and releases at 155°C (typical) - protects die integrity during overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Low EMI layout support | SOT-6L pinout places GND, VIN, and SW adjacent for minimal high-di/dt loop area - reduces radiated emissions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2841XMK-ADJL/NOPB | 550 kHz switching frequency (X option) vs. 1.25 MHz (Y); identical 300 mA rating, same package and pinout. | Better efficiency at light loads; larger inductor/capacitor required; lower EMI but larger solution size. | Select X variant when board space permits larger magnetics and lower EMI is prioritized over footprint. |
| TPS62840DRVR | 1.8–6.5 V input (not 4.5–42 V); 300 mA output; 1.8 MHz; integrated synchronous rectifier; 25 nA IQ. | Not suitable for high-input applications; superior light-load efficiency and smaller solution size below 6.5 V. | Choose TPS62840 only for low-voltage battery systems (<6.5 V); LM2841YMK-ADJL/NOPB remains required for 12–42 V inputs. |
Compared with LM2841XMK-ADJL/NOPB, the LM2841YMK-ADJL/NOPB trades higher-frequency operation for smaller passives and faster transient response, while the TPS62840DRVR offers ultra-low IQ but lacks high-input capability - making LM2841YMK-ADJL/NOPB uniquely suited for wide-input industrial and automotive auxiliary rails.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current supported by the LM2841YMK-ADJL/NOPB?
The LM2841YMK-ADJL/NOPB is rated for up to 300 mA DC output current, as confirmed in the device family description, electrical characteristics table (ILSW and ICL parameters), and product folder documentation. This rating holds across the full −40°C to +125°C junction temperature range and 4.5 V to 42 V input range, with derating applied only under high ambient or poor thermal conditions.
Does the LM2841YMK-ADJL/NOPB require an external compensation network?
No, the LM2841YMK-ADJL/NOPB is internally compensated - meaning no external Type-II or Type-III compensation components are needed. This simplifies design, reduces BOM count, and ensures stable operation across all recommended input/output combinations without tuning.
How is the output voltage adjusted on the LM2841YMK-ADJL/NOPB?
The LM2841YMK-ADJL/NOPB uses its FB pin to sense output voltage via an external resistor divider. With a precise 0.765 V internal reference, VOUT = 0.765 V × (1 + R1/R2). Resistor values between 100 Ω and 10 kΩ are recommended to minimize bias current error and noise sensitivity.
What is the purpose of the CB pin on the LM2841YMK-ADJL/NOPB?
The CB pin on the LM2841YMK-ADJL/NOPB supplies gate drive voltage to the internal high-side N-channel MOSFET. It must be connected to SW through a 0.15 µF (minimum) ceramic capacitor (CBOOT) to generate the boosted voltage required for full enhancement of the switch, ensuring low RDS(ON) and high efficiency.
Can the LM2841YMK-ADJL/NOPB operate with an input voltage below 4.5 V?
No - the LM2841YMK-ADJL/NOPB has a guaranteed minimum operating input voltage of 4.5 V, enforced by internal UVLO that disables the device below ~3.5 V (off threshold) and re-enables above ~3.7 V (on threshold). Operation below 4.5 V violates recommended conditions and may result in unstable regulation or failure to start.
