Product details
Overview
LM3677LEE-1.2/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 3 MHz, 600 mA synchronous step-down DC-DC converter optimized for ultra-low-voltage circuits powered by a single Li-Ion cell (2.7 V to 5.0 V input range for 1.2 V output). It delivers fixed 1.2 V output with ±2.5% regulation accuracy, 16 µA typical quiescent current in PFM mode, and integrates internal PFET/NFET switches with 350 mΩ/150 mΩ RDS(ON). It serves as the primary core voltage regulator in mobile phone baseband processors.
For engineers reviewing the LM3677LEE-1.2/NOPB datasheet, LM3677LEE-1.2/NOPB pinout, LM3677LEE-1.2/NOPB application, or LM3677LEE-1.2/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include its 5-bump DSBGA package footprint, automatic PFM/PWM mode transition at ~42 mA (VIN = 3.6 V), 0.01 µA shutdown current, and requirement for only three external passive components (1.0 µH inductor, 4.7 µF CIN, 10 µF COUT).
Technical Context
The LM3677LEE-1.2/NOPB employs voltage-mode PWM control with input voltage feed-forward to maintain tight line regulation across its 2.7–5.0 V input range. Its internal 0.5 V reference feeds an error amplifier that compares FB voltage against this threshold to modulate PFET on-time.
It features dual-mode operation: fixed-frequency 3 MHz PWM mode (80–600 mA load) for low-noise performance and hysteretic PFM mode (<80 mA) with 16 µA IQ to maximize battery life. Protection includes cycle-by-cycle current limiting (1220 mA typ.), thermal shutdown (150°C), and undervoltage lockout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.2 V ±2.5% - meets core logic rail requirements for ARM-based baseband ICs. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5.0 V - derated from standard 2.7–5.5 V to ensure stability at 1.2 V output. |
| Max Output Current | 600 mA - supports peak current demands of application processors during burst operation. |
| Switching Frequency | 3 MHz (typ.) - enables use of sub-1 mm height 1.0 µH shielded inductors and compact 0603 ceramic capacitors. |
| Quiescent Current | 16 µA (typ., PFM mode) - extends standby battery life in always-on mobile subsystems. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.01 µA (typ.) - eliminates parasitic drain during deep sleep or power-off states. |
| RDS(ON) (PFET/NFET) | 350 / 150 mΩ - minimizes conduction loss at 600 mA, enabling >90% efficiency at mid-load. |
Pinout & Package
LM3677LEE-1.2/NOPB uses a lead-free 5-bump DSBGA package (YZR0005), measuring 1.0 mm × 1.0 mm × 0.55 mm, with 0.5 mm pitch and bottom-side solder pads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (A1) | Power input | Connects to input filter capacitor; must be decoupled within 2 mm to minimize high-frequency switching noise injection. |
| SW (B2, A3) | Switching node | Drives external inductor; requires short, low-inductance trace to reduce EMI and voltage overshoot. |
| EN (C1) | Enable control | Active-high logic input; <0.4 V disables device, >1.0 V enables; must not float-tie to GND or host GPIO. |
| FB (C3) | Feedback sense | Direct connection to output capacitor; forms resistive divider only in adjustable versions-bypassed internally for fixed 1.2 V output. |
| GND (A3) | Power ground | Primary return path for PFET/NFET currents; requires solid thermal pad connection to PCB ground plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated synchronous rectification | Eliminates external Schottky diode, reducing BOM count and improving efficiency by 8–12% vs. asynchronous buck at 1.2 V output. |
| Automatic PFM/PWM mode switching | Transitions seamlessly at ~42 mA (VIN = 3.6 V), maintaining >85% efficiency from 1 mA to 600 mA without manual control. |
| Internal soft-start | Ramps switch current limit in 200/400/600/1220 mA steps, limiting inrush current to prevent input rail collapse during power-up. |
| Thermal and current protection | Shuts down at 150°C junction temperature and limits peak switch current to 1220 mA, preventing damage during output short or overload. |
| Ultra-small solution size | Requires only 1.0 µH inductor + 4.7 µF CIN + 10 µF COUT, achieving total footprint <20 mm² - ideal for space-constrained mobile PCBs. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for LM3677LEE-1.2/NOPB?
The LM3677LEE-1.2/NOPB has a derated input voltage range of 2.7 V to 5.0 V - not the full 2.7–5.5 V specified for other LM3677 variants - to guarantee ±2.5% output regulation accuracy and stable operation at its fixed 1.2 V output. Exceeding 5.0 V may cause overvoltage stress on internal circuitry and degrade long-term reliability.
Does LM3677LEE-1.2/NOPB require external feedback resistors?
No. The LM3677LEE-1.2/NOPB is a fixed-output version with internal resistor divider network tied to its 0.5 V reference, so the FB pin is internally connected and does not require external resistors. This simplifies layout and eliminates resistor tolerance errors affecting output accuracy - a key advantage over adjustable variants like LM3677SD-1.2/NOPB.
How does the PFM/PWM transition work in LM3677LEE-1.2/NOPB?
The LM3677LEE-1.2/NOPB automatically transitions from PWM to PFM mode when load current drops below ~42 mA (at VIN = 3.6 V), reducing quiescent current from ~35 µA to 16 µA. It switches back to PWM when load rises above ~115 mA. This hysteresis prevents mode oscillation and maintains >85% efficiency across the full 1–600 mA load range without external control signals.
What package type is used for LM3677LEE-1.2/NOPB?
The LM3677LEE-1.2/NOPB uses a 5-bump DSBGA (Die Size Ball Grid Array) package designated YZR0005, measuring 1.0 mm × 1.0 mm × 0.55 mm with 0.5 mm pitch. It is lead-free (NOPB suffix) and requires reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020; the bottom-side solder balls demand precise stencil aperture design for reliable assembly.
Can LM3677LEE-1.2/NOPB drive a 600 mA load continuously?
Yes, the LM3677LEE-1.2/NOPB is rated for up to 600 mA continuous output current under conditions meeting its thermal limits: ambient temperature ≤85°C, proper PCB copper pour on GND pad, and use of recommended 1.0 µH inductor with ≥1375 mA saturation current. At 600 mA and VIN = 3.6 V, junction temperature rise is ~45°C above ambient on a 4-layer board, staying well below the 125°C max rating.
