Product details
Overview
LM3671MF-1.25/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a fixed-output 1.25 V, 600-mA synchronous step-down DC-DC converter optimized for single Li-Ion battery-powered portable electronics. It operates from 2.7 V to 5.5 V input, delivers 2 MHz fixed-frequency PWM switching with automatic PFM mode transition, and achieves 16 µA typical quiescent current in light-load operation - enabling extended battery life in mobile phones and digital still cameras.
For engineers reviewing the LM3671MF-1.25/NOPB datasheet, LM3671MF-1.25/NOPB pinout, LM3671MF-1.25/NOPB application, or LM3671MF-1.25/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.25 V fixed output accuracy (±4%), internal synchronous rectification, 0.01 µA shutdown current, and USON-6 package compatibility with space-constrained handheld designs.
Technical Context
The LM3671MF-1.25/NOPB implements voltage-mode control with input feed-forward compensation to maintain stable regulation across 2.7–5.5 V input and 0–600 mA load. Its integrated PFET/NFET power stage uses internal 380 mΩ (PFET) and 250 mΩ (NFET) RDS(ON) values, enabling high efficiency without external diodes.
Functional mode transitions are autonomous: PWM mode dominates above ~80 mA load for low-noise, constant-frequency operation; below that threshold, it enters hysteretic PFM mode to reduce IQ to 16 µA typical while maintaining ±0.6% to ±1.7% output voltage ripple around nominal 1.25 V - critical for noise-sensitive RF and audio subsystems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.25 V ±4% over −40°C to +125°C - ensures stable core voltage for low-power microcontrollers and sensors. |
| Max Output Current | 600 mA continuous - supports multiple peripheral rails in compact portable devices without thermal derating at TA ≤ 85°C. |
| Switching Frequency | 2 MHz typical (1.6–2.6 MHz range) - enables use of 2.2 µH inductors and 4.7 µF/10 µF ceramic capacitors for minimal board area. |
| Quiescent Current | 16 µA typical in PFM mode - extends battery runtime during standby in always-on wireless modules. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.01 µA typical - eliminates parasitic drain in battery-backed systems requiring multi-year shelf life. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - fully compatible with single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V), Li-polymer, and regulated 3.3 V/5 V system rails. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.5 V internal bandgap - simplifies design by eliminating external resistor divider for fixed-output variants like LM3671MF-1.25/NOPB. |
Pinout & Package
LM3671MF-1.25/NOPB is housed in a 2.00 mm × 2.00 mm, 6-pin USON (NKH) package with wettable flanks, optimized for automated optical inspection and high-density PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Power input | Accepts 2.7–5.5 V supply; requires local 4.7 µF ceramic capacitor to minimize input ripple and ESR-related losses. |
| GND | Power ground | Primary return path for high-current switching loop; must be connected to low-impedance ground plane adjacent to VIN and SW pins. |
| EN | Digital enable | Active-high logic input; device enabled when >1 V, disabled when <0.4 V; must not float - tie to GND or host GPIO for controlled sequencing. |
| FB | Feedback node | Internally connected to 1.25 V output divider; no external resistors required - direct connection to output capacitor ensures precise regulation. |
| SW | Switching node | Drives external 2.2 µH inductor; carries high di/dt current - requires short, wide trace routing and tight coupling to GND for EMI control. |
| SGND | Signal ground | Separate feedback reference ground; must be tied to main GND at single point near FB pin to avoid noise injection into regulation loop. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internal synchronous rectification | Eliminates external Schottky diode, reducing conduction loss and improving full-load efficiency by up to 8% vs. asynchronous buck topologies. |
| Auto PFM-PWM mode switching | Maintains >85% efficiency from 1 mA to 600 mA load without manual mode control or external circuitry. |
| Integrated soft-start | Gradually ramps switch current limit (70 → 140 → 280 → 1020 mA) to limit inrush, enabling reliable startup into 10 µF output capacitance. |
| Thermal shutdown protection | Engages at TJ ≈ 150°C and releases at TJ ≈ 130°C - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Current overload protection | Peak switch current limit of 1020 mA (typical) prevents inductor saturation and MOSFET failure under short-circuit conditions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down DC-DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62231DRYR | 1.25 V fixed output, 600 mA, 3 MHz switching, 19 µA IQ - higher frequency but slightly higher quiescent current. | Requires smaller 1 µH inductor; better suited for designs prioritizing minimum inductor size over absolute lowest IQ. | Select TPS62231DRYR when board space is constrained and 3 MHz operation aligns with system EMI requirements. |
| AP63205WU-12 | 1.2 V fixed output, 600 mA, 2 MHz, 25 µA IQ - same package but 0.05 V lower output and higher IQ. | Not drop-in compatible due to 1.2 V vs. 1.25 V; acceptable only if downstream ICs tolerate tighter VDD margin. | Choose AP63205WU-12 only after verifying 1.2 V compliance across entire load/temperature range of target application. |
Compared with LM3671MF-1.25/NOPB, TPS62231DRYR offers higher switching frequency for smaller passives but trades off 3 µA higher light-load IQ, while AP63205WU-12 provides identical current capability and package but lacks the precise 1.25 V output required for sensitive analog cores - making LM3671MF-1.25/NOPB optimal for accuracy-critical, battery-limited portable systems.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of LM3671MF-1.25/NOPB over temperature?
The LM3671MF-1.25/NOPB maintains a fixed 1.25 V output with ±4% tolerance across the full operating junction temperature range of −40°C to +125°C. This specification is verified per electrical characteristics table in the official TI datasheet SNVS294S, ensuring predictable performance in thermally demanding handheld enclosures where ambient temperatures exceed 85°C.
Does LM3671MF-1.25/NOPB require external feedback resistors?
No, LM3671MF-1.25/NOPB does not require external feedback resistors. As a fixed-output variant, it integrates an internal resistor divider referenced to a 0.5 V internal bandgap, directly setting the output to 1.25 V. The FB pin connects solely to the output capacitor - eliminating component count, layout sensitivity, and trimming errors associated with adjustable versions.
What package type is used for LM3671MF-1.25/NOPB?
LM3671MF-1.25/NOPB is supplied in the 6-pin USON (NKH) package measuring 2.00 mm × 2.00 mm with wettable flanks. This leadless, space-efficient package supports high-density routing and automated optical inspection, distinguishing it from SOT-23 and DSBGA variants in the LM3671 family.
How does LM3671MF-1.25/NOPB manage efficiency at light loads?
LM3671MF-1.25/NOPB automatically transitions from PWM to PFM mode below ~80 mA load, reducing quiescent current to 16 µA typical. In PFM mode, it regulates output voltage by varying switching frequency rather than duty cycle, preserving >85% efficiency down to 1 mA - critical for battery longevity in always-on sensor and communication subsystems.
Is LM3671MF-1.25/NOPB qualified for automotive applications?
No, LM3671MF-1.25/NOPB is not automotive-qualified. Only the LM3671-Q1 variant meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C) requirements. The LM3671MF-1.25/NOPB is rated for industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C ambient) and intended for consumer and industrial portable electronics, not safety-critical automotive ECUs or infotainment systems.
