Product details
Overview
LM3677LEE-1.5/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 5.5 V input). It delivers a fixed 1.5 V output with ±2.5% regulation accuracy in PWM mode, 16 µA typical quiescent current in PFM mode, and 0.01 µA shutdown current-enabling extended battery life in portable instrumentation and mobile audio subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the LM3677LEE-1.5/NOPB datasheet, LM3677LEE-1.5/NOPB pinout, LM3677LEE-1.5/NOPB application, or LM3677LEE-1.5/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5-bump DSBGA package footprint, automatic PFM/PWM mode transition at ~42 mA (VIN = 3.6 V), internal synchronous rectification, and minimal external component count (only one inductor and two ceramic capacitors required).
Technical Context
The LM3677LEE-1.5/NOPB implements voltage-mode PWM control with input voltage feed-forward for stable line regulation, and transitions autonomously to hysteretic PFM mode under light load to reduce quiescent current. Its internal 0.5 V reference and fixed 1.5 V output are achieved via resistorless feedback-eliminating external divider components.
It integrates a PFET high-side switch (RDSON(P) = 450 mΩ max) and NFET synchronous rectifier (RDSON(N) = 250 mΩ max), enabling >90% efficiency at 300 mA output. Thermal shutdown engages at TJ = 150°C (typ.), and current limit is set at 1220 mA (typ.) to protect against overload and short-circuit conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.5 V ±2.5% (PWM mode); enables direct powering of low-voltage logic cores without external feedback resistors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V; supports full discharge curve of single-cell Li-Ion batteries (3.0 V–4.2 V nominal) with margin for transient dips. |
| Max Output Current | 600 mA continuous; sufficient for baseband processors, RF transceivers, and sensor hubs in compact handheld devices. |
| Switching Frequency | 3 MHz (2.5–3.5 MHz range); allows use of sub-1 mm height, 1.0 µH shielded inductors and 0603/0805 ceramic capacitors for <20 mm² solution size. |
| Quiescent Current | 16 µA typical in PFM mode; extends standby runtime in always-on subsystems such as real-time clocks or wake-on-event sensors. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.01 µA typical; ensures negligible battery drain during deep sleep or system power-off states. |
| Protection Features | Thermal shutdown (150°C), cycle-by-cycle current limiting (1220 mA typ.), undervoltage lockout (2.7 V min), and soft-start (300 µs typical with 10 µF COUT + 300 mA load). |
Pinout & Package
LM3677LEE-1.5/NOPB uses a lead-free 5-bump DSBGA package (YZR0005), measuring 1.0 mm × 1.0 mm × 0.5 mm, with 0.5 mm bump pitch and bottom-side thermal pad for enhanced heat dissipation in space-constrained PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (A1) | Power supply input | Accepts 2.7–5.5 V; must be decoupled with ≥4.7 µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin to suppress switching noise and supply ripple. |
| GND (A3) | Ground reference | Primary return path for input/output currents and internal bias; requires low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane beneath package. |
| EN (C1) | Enable control input | Logic-level enable: device active when >1.0 V, shutdown when <0.4 V; must not float-tie to GND or microcontroller GPIO for power sequencing. |
| FB (C3) | Feedback node | Internally connected to 1.5 V output divider; no external resistors needed-pin is reserved and must remain unconnected per datasheet. |
| SW (B2) | Switching node | Drives external 1.0 µH inductor; carries high di/dt pulses-requires short, wide trace routing and tight loop area with CIN/COUT to minimize EMI. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic PFM/PWM mode switching | Eliminates manual mode control; maintains >85% efficiency from 1 mA to 600 mA load without sacrificing noise performance at medium loads. |
| Internal synchronous rectification | Replaces lossy Schottky diode with integrated NFET (250 mΩ max RDSON), reducing conduction loss and improving full-load efficiency by ~8% vs. asynchronous designs. |
| Fixed 1.5 V output with no external feedback | Reduces BOM count and layout area-no resistor matching tolerance or temperature drift concerns affecting output accuracy. |
| Soft-start with stepped current limit | Prevents inrush current spikes during power-up; limits peak switch current to 200/400/600/1220 mA steps, ensuring controlled VOUT ramp without overshoot. |
| Thermal and current protection | Enables robust operation in sealed enclosures-thermal shutdown disables switching until junction cools to 130°C, while cycle-by-cycle current limit prevents inductor saturation during fault conditions. |
Applications
| Mobile Audio Subsystem | Digital Camera Core Logic |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary power rail with low-noise PFM operation during sensor sampling and low-quiescent PWM during data transmission.

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 1.5 V output, 3 MHz switching, 600 mA rating-but uses 6-pin USON (NGE0006A) instead of DSBGA; higher IQ (25 µA typ. in PFM) and no soft-start. | Suitable for board-space-flexible designs where USON thermal performance is acceptable; less optimal for ultra-thin wearables due to 0.55 mm height vs. DSBGA's 0.5 mm. | Select if existing layout accommodates USON footprint and soft-start is managed externally; verify thermal derating at 85°C ambient. |
| AP63202WS6-15 | Fixed 1.5 V, 600 mA, but operates at 2.2 MHz (not 3 MHz); lower shutdown current (0.1 µA) but higher PFM IQ (20 µA); no integrated soft-start or thermal shutdown. | Better for cost-sensitive consumer electronics where 2.2 MHz allows slightly larger inductors; unsuitable for safety-critical or thermally constrained medical use. | Choose only for non-regulated portable accessories; avoid where thermal protection or precise startup timing is required. |
Compared with TPS62231DRYR and AP63202WS6-15, LM3677LEE-1.5/NOPB offers the smallest package (5-bump DSBGA), lowest PFM quiescent current (16 µA), and integrated soft-start-making it uniquely suited for space- and battery-life-constrained portable instrumentation where reliability and minimal external components are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the recommended input capacitor for LM3677LEE-1.5/NOPB?
A 4.7 µF, 6.3 V X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor (e.g., 0603 or 0805 case) is recommended for LM3677LEE-1.5/NOPB. It must be placed adjacent to the VIN pin with minimal trace length to suppress high-frequency switching noise. The minimum value is 2.2 µF at 3 V DC bias, including tolerances and temperature variation. Avoid Y5V dielectrics due to poor DC bias stability.
Does LM3677LEE-1.5/NOPB require external feedback resistors?
No, LM3677LEE-1.5/NOPB does not require external feedback resistors. It is a fixed-output variant with internal resistor divider configured for 1.5 V. The FB pin (C3) is reserved and must remain unconnected-adding external components will disrupt regulation and may damage the device.
What is the thermal shutdown behavior of LM3677LEE-1.5/NOPB?
LM3677LEE-1.5/NOPB activates thermal shutdown at TJ ≈ 150°C (typ.) and resumes normal operation once junction temperature falls to ≈130°C (typ.). This hysteresis prevents oscillation near trip point. During shutdown, all switching and bias circuitry is disabled, reducing current draw to <1 µA. The feature is fully internal and requires no external components.
Can LM3677LEE-1.5/NOPB operate from a 2.5 V input?
No-LM3677LEE-1.5/NOPB requires a minimum input voltage of 2.7 V per its Absolute Maximum Ratings and Operating Ratings. At 2.5 V, the device may fail to start, exhibit unstable regulation, or violate output accuracy specifications. For sub-2.7 V inputs, consider alternative regulators rated for lower VIN minima.
What inductor value is recommended for LM3677LEE-1.5/NOPB?
A 1.0 µH shielded inductor with ≥1375 mA saturation current rating is recommended for LM3677LEE-1.5/NOPB. Examples include FDK MIPSA2520D 1R0 or Murata LQM2HP 1R0. DCR should be ≤100 mΩ to maintain >90% efficiency at 600 mA. Unshielded inductors may be used in cost-sensitive applications but increase EMI risk.
