Product details
Overview
LM3671TLX-2.5/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a fixed-output 2.5 V, 600-mA synchronous step-down DC-DC converter in a 2.0 mm × 2.0 mm USON-6 package. It operates from 2.7 V to 5.5 V input, delivers 2-MHz PWM switching with automatic PFM-PWM mode transition, and features 16 µA quiescent current and 0.01 µA shutdown current. It powers core logic rails in mobile phones and portable instrumentation requiring compact, high-efficiency regulation from single Li-ion cells.
For engineers reviewing the LM3671TLX-2.5/NOPB datasheet, LM3671TLX-2.5/NOPB pinout, LM3671TLX-2.5/NOPB application, or LM3671TLX-2.5/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include output voltage accuracy (±2.5% over temperature), thermal performance in USON-6 (RθJA = 174.7°C/W), internal synchronous rectification, soft-start behavior, and compatibility with 2.2 µH inductors and ceramic capacitors.
Technical Context
The LM3671TLX-2.5/NOPB implements a voltage-mode PWM controller with input voltage feed-forward compensation, enabling stable regulation across 2.7–5.5 V input while maintaining tight line regulation (0.031%/V). Its dual-mode operation-PWM at ≥80 mA load and hysteretic PFM below-dynamically optimizes efficiency without external mode control.
Internal synchronous rectification uses matched PFET/NFET switches (RDS(ON) = 380/250 mΩ typical) to eliminate external diode losses. The 0.5 V internal reference feeds a precision error amplifier that regulates FB to maintain 2.5 V output via fixed internal resistor divider; no external feedback components are required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5 V ±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C; eliminates need for external feedback resistors. |
| Max Output Current | 600 mA continuous; supports power-hungry digital cores in portable devices. |
| Switching Frequency | 2 MHz typical (1.6–2.6 MHz over temp); enables use of 2.2 µH inductor and small 10 µF ceramic output capacitor. |
| Quiescent Current | 16 µA typical in PFM mode; extends battery life during standby in handheld instruments. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.01 µA typical; reduces system leakage when powered off. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V; compatible with single Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V) and USB-powered (5 V) systems. |
| Thermal Resistance | RθJA = 174.7°C/W (USON-6 on 4-layer board); defines maximum ambient temperature derating for 600 mA loads. |
Pinout & Package
LM3671TLX-2.5/NOPB is housed in a 2.00 mm × 2.00 mm, 0.5 mm profile USON-6 (NKH) package with wettable flanks and exposed thermal pad (pin 6 = SGND).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 1) | Power Input | Connects to input filter capacitor; accepts 2.7–5.5 V; supplies internal bias and switch drivers. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power Ground | Main return path for input capacitor and high-current PFET/NFET switching loop. |
| EN (Pin 3) | Digital Enable | Active-high logic control; device enabled at >1 V, shutdown at <0.4 V; must not float. |
| FB (Pin 4) | Feedback Input | Internally connected to fixed 2.5 V divider; tied directly to VOUT for regulation; no external resistors needed. |
| SW (Pin 5) | Switch Node | Drives external inductor; connects internally to PFET drain and NFET source; requires low-inductance layout. |
| SGND (Pin 6) | Signal Ground | Separate ground for FB amplifier; must be connected to GND near device for noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic PFM-PWM mode switching | Enables 16 µA quiescent current at light load and seamless transition to 2-MHz PWM at ≥80 mA, optimizing efficiency across full load range. |
| Internal synchronous rectification | Integrates matched PFET (380 mΩ) and NFET (250 mΩ) switches, eliminating external Schottky loss and improving full-load efficiency by ~8% vs diode-based designs. |
| Internal soft-start | Staged current limit ramp (70 → 140 → 280 → 1020 mA) prevents inrush into 10 µF output caps; typical start-up time is 400 µs at 300 mA load. |
| Thermal and overload protection | Thermal shutdown engages at 150°C (typical) and releases at 130°C; cycle-by-cycle current limit trips at 1020 mA (open-loop), protecting inductor and MOSFETs. |
| Ultra-low shutdown current | 0.01 µA typical shutdown supply current minimizes battery drain in always-on portable systems with periodic wake-up cycles. |

FAQ
What is the recommended input capacitor for LM3671TLX-2.5/NOPB?
The LM3671TLX-2.5/NOPB datasheet specifies a minimum 4.7 µF X5R/X7R ceramic input capacitor placed close to VIN and GND pins. TI recommends using a 10 µF/6.3 V X5R capacitor for improved line transient response and reduced input ripple under 600 mA load conditions. This value ensures sufficient charge reservoir during high-frequency switching and maintains stability across temperature and DC bias.
Does LM3671TLX-2.5/NOPB require an external feedback resistor network?
No, LM3671TLX-2.5/NOPB does not require external feedback resistors. It integrates a precision internal resistor divider calibrated for 2.5 V output, connecting FB internally to the regulated node. The FB pin must be connected directly to the output capacitor's VOUT node; adding external resistors will disrupt regulation and cause output voltage error.
What is the thermal shutdown behavior of LM3671TLX-2.5/NOPB?
LM3671TLX-2.5/NOPB activates thermal shutdown at approximately 150°C junction temperature and resumes normal operation once the junction cools to ~130°C. During shutdown, the device halts switching, disables both PFET and NFET, and draws only 0.01 µA from VIN. Recovery is automatic and does not require cycling EN; however, sustained high ambient temperatures may cause repeated cycling if PCB thermal design exceeds RθJA limits.
Can LM3671TLX-2.5/NOPB operate with a 2.2 µH inductor?
Yes, LM3671TLX-2.5/NOPB is specifically characterized and validated for use with a 2.2 µH shielded power inductor (e.g., TDK VLS201610ET-2R2M). This value provides optimal balance of peak current ripple (~30% of IOUT), size, and efficiency at 2-MHz switching. Using inductors outside 1.5–3.3 µH may degrade transient response or increase output ripple beyond specification.
Is LM3671TLX-2.5/NOPB qualified for automotive applications?
No, LM3671TLX-2.5/NOPB is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Only the LM3671-Q1 variant (e.g., LM3671QTLX-2.5/NOPB) carries automotive qualification-Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C ambient), HBM ±2000 V, and CDM ±500 V. LM3671TLX-2.5/NOPB is rated for commercial/industrial use (–40°C to +85°C ambient) and lacks automotive-specific reliability testing and traceability.
