Product details
Overview
LM2841YMKX-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, 1.25-MHz fixed switching frequency, and 4.5-V to 42-V input range. It integrates a 0.9-Ω typical RDS(ON) power switch and supports adjustable output voltage via external resistor divider for industrial distributed power and battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LM2841YMKX-ADJL/NOPB datasheet, LM2841YMKX-ADJL/NOPB pinout, LM2841YMKX-ADJL/NOPB application, or LM2841YMKX-ADJL/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.25-MHz operation enabling compact external components, 16-µA shutdown quiescent current, internal compensation, thermal/UVLO protection, and soft-start control via SHDN pin.
Technical Context
The LM2841YMKX-ADJL/NOPB implements current-mode PWM control with fixed 1.25-MHz oscillator, minimum ON/OFF times of 100 ns/104 ns, and maximum duty cycle of 87%. Its error amplifier compares FB voltage against 0.765 V reference, driving a gate driver that controls the integrated N-channel MOSFET.
Protection features include thermal shutdown (engages at 175°C), VIN undervoltage lockout (turn-on threshold 3.7 V), CB undervoltage lockout, and cycle-by-cycle current limiting (rated at 525 mA typical). Shutdown is logic-controlled via SHDN pin with 1-V turn-on and 0.9-V turn-off thresholds.
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 - matches LM2841 variant rating for mid-power point-of-load conversion |
| Switching Frequency | 1.25 MHz - enables use of small inductors (e.g., 10–15 µH) and ceramic capacitors for compact layout |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 0.765 V - sets output via resistor divider; allows precise adjustment from 0.8 V to >30 V |
| RDS(ON) | 0.9 Ω typical - minimizes conduction loss and improves efficiency at medium load currents |
| Shutdown Quiescent Current | 16 µA typical - extends battery life in always-on or low-duty-cycle portable systems |
| 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, low-profile surface-mount, thermally enhanced with exposed pad (not electrically connected).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - CB | Bootstrap bias supply | Connects external 0.15-µF ceramic capacitor to SW; provides gate drive voltage for internal high-side switch |
| 2 - GND | Power and signal ground | Primary return path for IC core, power switch, and feedback network; requires low-impedance PCB connection |
| 3 - FB | Feedback input | Senses output voltage divider; 0.765-V reference enables accurate regulation; bias current <1 µA minimizes divider error |
| 4 - SHDN | Logic enable/disable control | Pull ≥2.3 V to enable; ≤0.9 V to disable; 16-µA shutdown IQ achieved when pulled low |
| 5 - VIN | Main power input | Accepts 4.5–42 V; internal UVLO prevents operation below 3.7 V; requires local 2.2-µF ceramic bypass |
| 6 - SW | Switch node output | Drives external inductor and Schottky diode; connects to CBOOT; handles peak currents up to 900 mA |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internally compensated | Eliminates need for external compensation network - reduces BOM count and design iteration time |
| Soft-start via SHDN pin | RC-controlled ramp limits inrush current - avoids input rail sag and output overshoot during power-up |
| Short-circuit protected | Cycle-by-cycle current limiting trips at 525 mA - prevents damage during output fault without latch-up |
| Thermal shutdown | Auto-recovery at 155°C after trip at 175°C - protects die under sustained overload or poor heatsinking |
| Low EMI layout optimized | SOT-6L pinout separates power and signal paths - minimizes loop area for SW, VIN, and GND to reduce radiated noise |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2841XMKX-ADJ/NOPB | Same family, X-option: 550-kHz switching frequency instead of 1.25 MHz | Better efficiency at high loads due to lower switching loss; larger inductor/capacitor required | Select for higher efficiency >200 mA or where EMI sensitivity favors lower frequency |
| TPS562201DDCR | Synchronous buck, 4.5–17-V input, 2-A output, 650-kHz, smaller SOT-23-6 package | Higher current capability and synchronous rectification improve light-load efficiency but require different layout | Select for >300 mA loads or where 17-V max input is sufficient and board space is constrained |
Compared with LM2841XMKX-ADJ/NOPB, the LM2841YMKX-ADJL/NOPB trades higher switching loss for smaller magnetics and lower EMI at high frequencies; versus TPS562201DDCR, it offers wider input range and higher voltage tolerance at the cost of lower output current and asynchronous topology.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM2841YMKX-ADJL/NOPB?
The LM2841YMKX-ADJL/NOPB has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 45 V, with recommended operating range from 4.5 V to 42 V. Operation beyond 42 V risks exceeding safe junction temperature or triggering internal protection circuits, and is not supported per datasheet specifications. The device's UVLO turns off operation below 3.7 V to prevent unstable startup.
How is output voltage adjusted on LM2841YMKX-ADJL/NOPB?
The LM2841YMKX-ADJL/NOPB uses the FB pin with an external resistor divider to set output voltage per VOUT = 0.765 V × (1 + R1/R2). For example, a 5.62-kΩ/R1 and 1.02-kΩ/R2 yields 5.0 V. Resistors should be between 100 Ω and 10 kΩ to minimize bias current error, and the FB pin draws less than 1 µA, ensuring high accuracy.
Does LM2841YMKX-ADJL/NOPB require an external bootstrap capacitor?
Yes, LM2841YMKX-ADJL/NOPB requires a minimum 0.15-µF ceramic capacitor between CB and SW pins. This bootstrap capacitor supplies gate drive voltage for the internal high-side MOSFET. In applications where VIN < 2×VOUT, a larger value (up to 1 µF) is recommended to maintain low RDS(ON) and ensure reliable switching across line and load conditions.
What protection features does LM2841YMKX-ADJL/NOPB include?
The LM2841YMKX-ADJL/NOPB integrates thermal shutdown (trip at 175°C), VIN undervoltage lockout (3.7-V turn-on), CB undervoltage lockout, cycle-by-cycle current limiting (525 mA typical), and short-circuit protection. These operate independently during normal regulation and do not require external components, enhancing system reliability in harsh environments.
Can LM2841YMKX-ADJL/NOPB be used in automotive applications?
LM2841YMKX-ADJL/NOPB supports automotive body electronics applications with its –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature, 42-V input rating (withstands load dump), and robust protection features. While not AEC-Q200 qualified, it is widely deployed in non-safety-critical automotive subsystems such as infotainment power rails and sensor interfaces where TI's LM284x family meets functional requirements.
