Product details
Overview
LMR12007XMK from Texas Instruments is a monolithic, current-mode PWM step-down DC-DC regulator in a 6-pin Thin SOT-23 package. It delivers up to 750mA output current with 1.6MHz fixed switching frequency, 3.0V–18V input range, and 1.25V–16V adjustable output voltage-designed for space-constrained point-of-load regulation in battery-powered and USB-powered devices.
For engineers reviewing the LMR12007XMK datasheet, LMR12007XMK pinout, LMR12007XMK application, or LMR12007XMK equivalent, key selection criteria include its 350mΩ internal NMOS switch RDS(ON), 30nA shutdown current, 1.25V ±2% internal reference, thermal shutdown protection, and compatibility with ceramic output capacitors for high-frequency transient response.
Technical Context
The LMR12007XMK employs current-mode PWM control with internal compensation and a fixed 1.6MHz oscillator, enabling stable regulation without external loop components. Its bootstrap gate-drive architecture (BOOST–SW ≥ 1.6V) supports efficient operation across wide input/output combinations using a single external Schottky catch diode and small-surface-mount inductors.
It integrates undervoltage lockout (2.74V rising threshold), cycle-by-cycle current limiting (1.5A typical), soft-start (200µs ramp), and output overvoltage protection (10% above VFB). The 6-pin Thin SOT-23 (DDC) package features thermally enhanced GND pad and requires careful PCB layout for BOOST/SW node routing and FB trace isolation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 1.6MHz - enables use of ≤4.7µH inductors and 0805/1206 ceramic capacitors, minimizing solution footprint. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.0V to 18V - supports single-cell Li-ion, 5V/12V rails, and industrial input sources without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 750mA - sufficient for core logic, microcontrollers, and interface ICs in portable and embedded systems. |
| RDS(ON) | 350mΩ - reduces conduction loss at full load; enables >90% efficiency at 5V→3.3V/500mA. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.25V ±2% - sets output via resistor divider; allows precise 1.25V–16V adjustment with <0.01%/V line regulation. |
| Shutdown Current | 30nA - preserves battery life in always-on or low-power sleep modes. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 165°C junction - protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking; resumes at ~150°C. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-pin Thin SOT-23 (Package Number DDC, R-PDSO-G6), 1.6mm × 2.9mm × 0.8mm, thermally enhanced GND pad.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - BOOST | Bootstrap supply node | Drives NMOS gate; requires 0.01µF ceramic capacitor to SW; must maintain ≥1.6V above SW for reliable switching. |
| 2 - GND | Signal and power ground | Reference for FB divider and internal circuits; bottom resistor of feedback network must connect here for accuracy. |
| 3 - FB | Voltage feedback input | High-impedance node (250nA bias); connects to resistor divider; sensitive to noise-must be routed short and away from SW/VIN. |
| 4 - EN | Enable control input | Logic-high (>1.8V) enables regulation; floating or >VIN+0.3V risks damage; logic-low disables with 30nA quiescent draw. |
| 5 - VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 3V–18V; requires local 10µF X5R/X7R ceramic bypass capacitor close to pin with low-ESL layout. |
| 6 - SW | Internal switch output | Connects to inductor, catch diode anode, and BOOST capacitor; carries high di/dt-requires tight loop with GND and CIN. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 1.6MHz switching | Enables compact 4.7µH inductors and eliminates audible noise; avoids EMI bands common in 500kHz–1MHz designs. |
| Internal 350mΩ NMOS switch | Eliminates external MOSFET and driver; reduces BOM count and layout complexity while maintaining 750mA capability. |
| Current-mode PWM control | Provides inherent cycle-by-cycle current limiting, fast transient response, and stable operation without external compensation. |
| Integrated soft-start | Ramps internal reference from 0V to 1.25V over ~200µs-limits inrush current into output capacitance during power-up. |
| Thermal shutdown + OVP | Shuts down at 165°C junction; disables switch if FB exceeds 1.375V (10% above 1.25V), protecting downstream loads. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMR12007YMK | 550kHz switching frequency, higher maximum duty cycle (96%), lower boost current demand. | Better suited for higher VIN/VOUT ratios (e.g., 12V→5V) where lower frequency improves efficiency and reduces EMI filtering cost. | Select LMR12007YMK when board space allows larger inductors/caps and EMI compliance favors sub-1MHz operation. |
| TPS62231DRVR | 3MHz switching, 600mA output, 2.05V–6.5V input, integrated synchronous rectification. | Requires no external catch diode; optimized for 3.3V/5V input rails only-not suitable for 12V/18V industrial inputs. | Choose TPS62231DRVR only for compact 3.3V-input applications where synchronous efficiency outweighs input voltage limitation. |
Compared with LMR12007XMK, the LMR12007YMK trades higher frequency for improved light-load efficiency and relaxed EMI filtering, while the TPS62231DRVR offers synchronous integration but sacrifices input voltage range and output current capability-making LMR12007XMK optimal for 3–18V, 750mA, space-constrained designs requiring external diode flexibility.

FAQ
What is the switching frequency of the LMR12007XMK?
The LMR12007XMK has a fixed internal switching frequency of 1.6MHz. This value is factory-trimmed and not user-adjustable. It enables use of small 4.7µH inductors and ceramic capacitors, reducing solution size versus lower-frequency alternatives like the LMR12007YMK (550kHz). Efficiency remains above 90% at 5V→3.3V/500mA due to optimized gate drive and low RDS(ON).
Does the LMR12007XMK require an external catch diode?
Yes, the LMR12007XMK requires an external Schottky catch diode (e.g., MBRM110L) connected between SW and GND. Unlike synchronous buck converters, it uses an internal NMOS switch and external diode for freewheeling. The diode must handle peak currents up to 1.5A and have low forward voltage (≤0.4V) to maintain efficiency-especially critical at high duty cycles.
How is the output voltage set on the LMR12007XMK?
The LMR12007XMK output voltage is set by a resistor divider from VOUT to FB to GND. Using R2 = 10kΩ to GND, R1 = (VOUT − 1.25V) × R2 / 1.25V. For example, 3.3V output requires R1 ≈ 16.4kΩ. The FB pin has 250nA bias current, so total divider current should exceed 100× this (≥25µA) to minimize error-typically achieved with 10kΩ–100kΩ values.
What is the purpose of the BOOST pin on the LMR12007XMK?
The BOOST pin on the LMR12007XMK supplies gate drive voltage to the internal NMOS switch via a bootstrap capacitor (0.01µF ceramic) connected between BOOST and SW. During SW low-time, BOOST charges to VIN minus diode drop; during SW high-time, BOOST rises to ~2×VIN, ensuring sufficient VGS. Maintaining BOOST–SW ≥ 2.5V (max 5.5V) is essential for full 750mA output capability and low RDS(ON) performance.
Can the LMR12007XMK operate with input voltage below 3.0V?
No, the LMR12007XMK has a guaranteed minimum operating input voltage of 3.0V per its Absolute Maximum and Operating Ratings. Undervoltage lockout activates below 2.74V (rising) and releases only above 2.3V (falling) with hysteresis. Attempting operation below 3.0V may result in unstable regulation, dropout, or failure to start-especially with BOOST capacitor charging limitations at low VIN.
