Product details
Overview
LM3674MF-1.875 from Texas Instruments is a fixed-output, 2-MHz synchronous step-down DC-DC converter optimized for single Li-Ion battery-powered systems. It delivers up to 600 mA at 1.875 V output from 2.7–5.5 V input, features internal soft-start, 0.01 µA shutdown current, and operates in a 5-pin SOT-23 package. It powers core logic rails in mobile phones and portable instruments where compact size and low quiescent current are critical.
For engineers reviewing the LM3674MF-1.875 datasheet, LM3674MF-1.875 pinout, LM3674MF-1.875 application, or LM3674MF-1.875 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 1.875 V fixed output accuracy (±4% over temperature), 2 MHz switching frequency enabling 2.2 µH inductor + 10 µF/4.7 µF ceramic capacitor solution, thermal shutdown protection, and confirmed SOT-23-5 footprint compatibility with TI's LM3674 family.
Technical Context
The LM3674MF-1.875 uses voltage-mode PWM control with input voltage feed-forward to achieve tight line regulation (0.083%/V) and load regulation (0.0010%/mA). Its internal 0.5 V reference and fixed resistor divider set the regulated 1.875 V output without external components.
It integrates a 380 mΩ PFET high-side switch and 250 mΩ NFET synchronous rectifier, enabling high efficiency across 100 mA–600 mA loads. Thermal shutdown and cycle-by-cycle current limiting (1020 mA typical) protect during overload or short-circuit events.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.875 V ±4% over −30°C to 125°C junction temperature |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - supports full operation from single Li-Ion cell (3.0–4.2 V nominal) with margin |
| Max Load Current | 600 mA continuous - sufficient for ARM Cortex-M cores, FPGA I/O banks, and sensor hubs |
| Switching Frequency | 2 MHz typical (1.6–2.6 MHz over temp) - enables use of small 2.2 µH shielded inductors |
| Shutdown Current | 0.01 µA typical - preserves battery life in deep-sleep modes of portable devices |
| Feedback Reference | 0.5 V internal bandgap - sets output via factory-trimmed resistor divider; no external resistors needed |
| Thermal Protection | Integrated thermal shutdown - disables switching above 125°C junction temperature |
Pinout & Package
LM3674MF-1.875 is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package measuring 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm with standard lead pitch and thermal pad omitted. The package supports reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020 and has RθJA = 250°C/W (2-layer board) or 130°C/W (4-layer board).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 1) | Power input | Accepts 2.7–5.5 V; requires local 4.7 µF ceramic decoupling placed adjacent to pin |
| GND (Pin 2) | Ground reference | Primary return path for input/output currents and IC bias; must connect to low-impedance ground plane |
| EN (Pin 3) | Enable control | Logic-high (>1 V) enables regulation; <0.4 V forces shutdown (0.01 µA ISHDN) |
| FB (Pin 4) | Feedback input | Internally connected to fixed 1.875 V divider; not user-accessible - open or shorting invalidates regulation |
| SW (Pin 5) | Switch node | Drives external 2.2 µH inductor; carries high di/dt PWM waveform - requires tight layout to minimize EMI |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous rectification | Integrated NFET replaces Schottky diode - eliminates 0.3–0.5 V forward drop, boosting efficiency by 8–12% at 300 mA |
| Internal soft-start | Gradual current limit ramp-up (70 → 140 → 280 → 1020 mA) - prevents inrush into 10 µF output cap and stabilizes startup under load |
| 2-MHz fixed-frequency PWM | Enables full regulation with 2.2 µH inductor and 10 µF/4.7 µF X5R ceramics - reduces BOM count and PCB area vs lower-frequency alternatives |
| Current limit & thermal protection | 1020 mA peak switch current limit + 125°C junction shutdown - protects IC and inductor during sustained overload or poor heatsinking |
| Low shutdown current | 0.01 µA typical - extends shelf life and standby time in battery-backed IoT sensors and wearables |

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 (not 1.875 V); 3 MHz switching; 0.02 µA shutdown; requires external compensation | Better suited for space-constrained designs needing higher frequency, but lacks exact 1.875 V match | Select when 1.8 V is acceptable and PCB layout allows tighter loop control for 3 MHz operation |

FAQ
What is the exact output voltage tolerance of the LM3674MF-1.875 over temperature and load?
The LM3674MF-1.875 guarantees ±4% output voltage accuracy over the full operating junction temperature range (−30°C to 125°C) and load current (0–600 mA), as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of the SNVS405G datasheet. This tolerance includes line, load, and temperature effects - no additional derating is required for design-in.
Can the LM3674MF-1.875 be used with a 2.2 µH inductor and 10 µF/4.7 µF ceramic capacitors as shown in the typical application?
Yes - the LM3674MF-1.875 is validated for use with a 2.2 µH shielded inductor (e.g., Coilcraft DO3314-222MX) and 10 µF X5R output / 4.7 µF X5R input ceramic capacitors. This combination achieves >85% efficiency at 300 mA and meets ripple and transient requirements per TI's Application Note SNVA264.
Does the LM3674MF-1.875 require external feedback resistors to set its 1.875 V output?
No - the LM3674MF-1.875 is a fixed-output variant with internal resistor divider trimmed to deliver exactly 1.875 V. Pin FB is not user-accessible; connecting external components to FB will disrupt regulation. Only the adjustable LM3674-ADJ version requires external R1/R2.
What protection features are integrated into the LM3674MF-1.875?
The LM3674MF-1.875 integrates cycle-by-cycle current limiting (1020 mA typical), thermal shutdown (125°C junction), undervoltage lockout (2.7 V start-up threshold), and soft-start. It does not include output overvoltage protection or input reverse-polarity protection - those must be implemented externally if required.
Is the LM3674MF-1.875 pin-compatible with other variants in the LM3674 family?
Yes - all LM3674 variants (including LM3674MF-1.2, LM3674MF-1.5, LM3674MF-1.875, LM3674MF-3.3, and LM3674-ADJ) share identical 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) packaging and pinout (VIN, GND, EN, FB, SW), enabling direct substitution in existing layouts when output voltage requirements change.
