Product details
Overview
LM3671MF-1.875 from Texas Instruments is a fixed-output 1.875 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 operation with automatic PFM mode transition below ~50 mA load, and achieves 16 µA typical quiescent current in light-load PFM mode.
For engineers reviewing the LM3671MF-1.875 datasheet, LM3671MF-1.875 pinout, LM3671MF-1.875 application, or LM3671MF-1.875 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package-specific pin mapping, real-world application use cases, and validated alternative options for low-voltage power management in space-constrained mobile systems.
Technical Context
The LM3671MF-1.875 uses voltage-mode control with input voltage feed-forward to maintain stable regulation across 2.7–5.5 V input. Its internal 0.5 V reference enables precise 1.875 V output via fixed resistor divider, with ±4% feedback voltage tolerance over temperature.
It integrates a 380 mΩ PFET switch and 250 mΩ NFET synchronous rectifier, enabling high efficiency at low output voltages. Thermal shutdown activates at 150°C (typ.), and current limiting trips at 1020 mA (typ.) in open-loop conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.875 V ±4% - ensures stable core logic or I/O rail without external feedback resistors. |
| Max Output Current | 600 mA - supports moderate-power digital subsystems (e.g., baseband processors, camera ISPs) from Li-Ion input. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - compatible with fully charged (4.2 V) and deeply discharged (2.7 V) single-cell Li-Ion batteries. |
| Switching Frequency | 2 MHz (typ.) - enables use of compact 2.2 µH inductors and 10 µF ceramic output capacitors. |
| Quiescent Current | 16 µA (typ.) in PFM mode - extends battery life during standby or low-activity states in portable devices. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.01 µA (typ.) - minimizes leakage when system is powered off, critical for always-on sensors or RTC circuits. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.5 V internal - defines output as VOUT = 1.875 V = 0.5 V × (1 + R1/R2), with factory-trimmed fixed-ratio divider. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 package (DBV, 2.92 mm × 2.84 mm × 1.2 mm) with exposed pad for thermal performance. Pinout matches standard SOT-23 footprint and is electrically identical across LM3671 fixed-output variants.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 VIN | Power input | Connects to input filter capacitor; accepts 2.7–5.5 V; must be ≥2.7 V before enabling. |
| 2 GND | Power ground | Main return path for PFET/NFET switching current; requires low-impedance PCB connection to minimize noise. |
| 3 EN | Enable control | Logic-level input: <0.4 V = shutdown, >1.0 V = active; must not float; ties to system power-good signal. |
| 4 FB | Feedback node | Internally connected to fixed 1.875 V divider; connect directly to output capacitor for regulation. |
| 5 SW | Switching node | Drives external inductor; carries high di/dt; requires short, low-inductance trace to minimize EMI. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic PFM/PWM mode switching | Transitions at ~50 mA (VIN = 3.6 V) to optimize efficiency across full load range without external control. |
| Internal synchronous rectification | Eliminates external Schottky diode; reduces conduction loss and improves efficiency by >10% at 1.875 V/300 mA. |
| Integrated soft-start | Staged current limit (70 → 140 → 280 → 1020 mA) limits inrush; startup time ≈ 400 µs with 10 µF COUT/300 mA load. |
| Thermal & overload protection | Auto-recovery thermal shutdown at 150°C (typ.) and cycle-by-cycle current limit prevent damage under fault conditions. |
| Ultra-low shutdown current | 0.01 µA (typ.) enables true zero-power state for battery-backed subsystems or long-term storage modes. |

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 | 1.8 V fixed output, 600 mA, 3.6 MHz switching, 22 µA IQ in PFM mode | Higher frequency allows smaller inductor but increases EMI sensitivity; tighter 1.8 V output vs. 1.875 V requirement | Select if board layout prioritizes ultra-compact magnetics and 1.8 V is acceptable; verify system margin at 1.8 V. |
| AP3012KTR-G1 | 1.8 V fixed output, 300 mA, 1.5 MHz, no PFM mode, 40 µA IQ | Lower current rating and no light-load efficiency optimization; simpler control but less battery-friendly | Choose only for cost-sensitive, low-duty-cycle applications where 300 mA and higher quiescent current are acceptable. |

FAQ
What is the exact output voltage tolerance of the LM3671MF-1.875?
The LM3671MF-1.875 has a fixed output voltage of 1.875 V with ±4% tolerance over temperature and line/load conditions, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table for the MF (SOT-23) package. This corresponds to a guaranteed range of 1.800 V to 1.950 V under all operating conditions.
Does the LM3671MF-1.875 require external feedback resistors?
No, the LM3671MF-1.875 does not require external feedback resistors. It integrates a factory-trimmed resistor divider that sets the output to exactly 1.875 V. The FB pin is internally connected to this network and must be tied directly to the output capacitor for regulation.
What package type is used for the LM3671MF-1.875/NOPB ordering option?
The LM3671MF-1.875/NOPB uses the SOT-23-5 (DBV) package: 2.92 mm × 2.84 mm × 1.2 mm, lead-free, with an exposed thermal pad. This is confirmed in TI's Ordering Information table and Package Option Addendum for the MF suffix.
How does the LM3671MF-1.875 transition between PWM and PFM modes?
The LM3671MF-1.875 automatically transitions based on load: at VIN = 3.6 V, it switches from PWM to PFM below ~50 mA and back to PWM above ~100 mA. Transition thresholds scale with input voltage-e.g., ~35 mA down / ~85 mA up at VIN = 2.7 V-ensuring optimal efficiency across battery discharge.
Can the LM3671MF-1.875 operate from a 2.5 V input?
No, the LM3671MF-1.875 requires a minimum input voltage of 2.7 V per its Operating Ratings. At 2.5 V, the device will not regulate and may enter undervoltage lockout; operation below 2.7 V is outside specification and not guaranteed.
