Product details
Overview
LM3671MF-2.5/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a fixed-output 2.5 V, 2-MHz synchronous step-down DC-DC converter optimized for single Li-Ion battery-powered portable electronics. It delivers up to 600 mA load current with 16 µA typical quiescent current in PFM mode, internal soft start, and automatic PWM/PFM mode switching - used in mobile phones and digital still cameras for efficient core voltage regulation.
For engineers reviewing the LM3671MF-2.5/NOPB datasheet, LM3671MF-2.5/NOPB pinout, LM3671MF-2.5/NOPB application, or LM3671MF-2.5/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (2.7 V to 5.5 V), fixed 2.5 V output accuracy (±4%), thermal shutdown at 150°C, and USON-6 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LM3671MF-2.5/NOPB employs voltage-mode control with input-voltage feed-forward compensation to maintain stable regulation across 2.7–5.5 V input. Its integrated PFET/NFET synchronous rectifier enables high efficiency at low output voltages, while the 2-MHz fixed-frequency PWM operation minimizes external component size.
Automatic transition between PWM (≥80 mA load) and hysteretic PFM (<80 mA) modes ensures optimal efficiency across load conditions. The device uses an internal 0.5 V reference and fixed feedback divider to regulate 2.5 V output without external resistors, and includes cycle-by-cycle current limiting (1020 mA typical) and thermal shutdown protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5 V ±4% over −40°C to +125°C - eliminates need for external feedback resistors and simplifies layout. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - supports direct operation from single Li-Ion (3.0–4.2 V) or regulated 3.3 V/5 V rails. |
| Max Load Current | 600 mA continuous - sufficient for powering baseband processors, camera modules, or RF transceivers. |
| Switching Frequency | 2 MHz typical (1.6–2.6 MHz over temp) - enables use of compact 2.2 µH inductors and 10 µF ceramic output capacitors. |
| Quiescent Current | 16 µA typical in PFM mode - extends battery life during standby or light-load operation in portable devices. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.01 µA typical - reduces system leakage when powered off, critical for always-on sensor nodes. |
| Current Limit | 1020 mA typical open-loop peak switch current - provides robust short-circuit and overload protection without external sensing. |
Pinout & Package
LM3671MF-2.5/NOPB is housed in a 2.00 mm × 2.00 mm, 0.5 mm height USON-6 (NKH) package with wettable flanks for automated optical inspection. Thermal resistance RθJA = 174.7°C/W on a 4-layer board.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Power input | Connects to input filter capacitor; accepts 2.7–5.5 V supply - must be decoupled locally to suppress switching noise. |
| SW | Switching node | Drives external inductor; carries high di/dt - requires short, low-inductance trace to minimize EMI and voltage spikes. |
| FB | Feedback input | Internally connected to fixed 2.5 V divider - no external resistors needed; connect directly to output capacitor for stability. |
| EN | Enable control | Digital logic input: <0.4 V = shutdown (0.01 µA IQ), >1 V = active; must not float - tie to VIN or microcontroller GPIO. |
| GND | Power ground | Primary return path for input/output currents; connect to solid ground plane under IC for thermal and EMI performance. |
| SGND | Signal ground | Internal feedback reference ground - internally bonded to GND in USON-6; no external connection required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internal synchronous rectification | Eliminates external Schottky diode - improves full-load efficiency by ~8–12% vs. asynchronous buck at 2.5 V output. |
| Automatic PWM/PFM mode switching | Seamlessly transitions at ~80 mA load - maintains >85% efficiency from 1 mA to 600 mA without manual control. |
| Integrated soft-start | Ramps current limit in 4 steps (70/140/280/1020 mA) - prevents inrush into 10 µF output caps and avoids input rail droop. |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Shuts down at TJ = 150°C (typ), resumes at 130°C - protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Only three external components | Requires just one 2.2 µH inductor and two ceramic caps (CIN, COUT) - reduces BOM count and board area vs. discrete solutions. |

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 | Fixed 2.5 V, 3-MHz switching, 300 mA max output - smaller 1.2 mm × 1.2 mm DSBGA but lower current rating. | Targeted at ultra-compact wearables with <300 mA loads; lacks thermal shutdown hysteresis. | Select when board area is constrained and load never exceeds 300 mA - verify thermal margin with RθJA = 210°C/W. |
| AP63202WU-7 | Adjustable 0.6–5.5 V output, 2-MHz, 2 A max - larger SOT-563 package, higher IQ (25 µA), no PFM mode. | Suitable for multi-rail systems requiring flexibility; requires external feedback resistors and larger inductor. | Choose when adjustable output or >600 mA capability is needed - accept higher quiescent current and added BOM complexity. |

FAQ
What is the recommended input capacitor for LM3671MF-2.5/NOPB?
The LM3671MF-2.5/NOPB datasheet specifies a minimum 4.7 µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor at the VIN pin, placed as close as possible to the device. TI recommends using a 10 µF capacitor for improved transient response and reduced input ripple - especially when operating near the 2.7 V lower input limit. The capacitor must have low ESR and be rated for ≥6.3 V.
Does LM3671MF-2.5/NOPB require external feedback resistors?
No, LM3671MF-2.5/NOPB does not require external feedback resistors. It integrates a precision resistor divider to set the output to 2.5 V ±4%, with the FB pin internally connected to this network. External resistors are only needed for the adjustable versions (e.g., LM3671MF-ADJ); connecting them to LM3671MF-2.5/NOPB will disrupt regulation.
What is the thermal shutdown behavior of LM3671MF-2.5/NOPB?
LM3671MF-2.5/NOPB engages thermal shutdown at a junction temperature of 150°C (typical) and resumes operation once TJ falls to 130°C (typical). This hysteresis prevents cycling during sustained overload. The USON-6 package has RθJA = 174.7°C/W on a 4-layer board - adequate for 600 mA loads with proper copper pour, but derating is required above 60°C ambient.
Can LM3671MF-2.5/NOPB operate from a 2.7 V input?
Yes, LM3671MF-2.5/NOPB is fully specified to operate from 2.7 V input across its entire temperature range (−40°C to +125°C). At 2.7 V input and 2.5 V output, the duty cycle approaches 93%, so efficiency drops slightly (~82% at 600 mA), but regulation remains stable. TI advises ensuring input capacitance and layout minimize voltage drop at VIN during peak load.
Is LM3671MF-2.5/NOPB qualified for automotive applications?
No, LM3671MF-2.5/NOPB is not automotive-qualified. The automotive-grade variant is LM3671-Q1 (e.g., LM3671QMF-2.5/NOPB), which is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified (−40°C to +125°C ambient) and tested to stricter ESD and reliability standards. LM3671MF-2.5/NOPB is intended for commercial portable electronics and lacks the automotive qualification documentation and screening.
