Product details
Overview
LMR62421XSDE/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 2.1A, 1.6 MHz step-up DC-DC regulator with integrated low-side NMOS switch, supporting boost and SEPIC topologies. It operates from 2.7V–5.5V input to deliver up to 24V output, features internal compensation, soft-start, and 80 nA shutdown current-ideal for space-constrained portable LED backlighting and LCD bias supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LMR62421XSDE/NOPB datasheet, LMR62421XSDE/NOPB pinout, LMR62421XSDE/NOPB application, or LMR62421XSDE/NOPB equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (5-pin SOT-23), confirmed thermal shutdown (160°C), cycle-by-cycle current limiting (2.1A min), feedback voltage (1.255 V), and real-world design implications for inductor selection, output ripple control, and PCB layout grounding.
Technical Context
The LMR62421XSDE/NOPB uses constant-frequency peak current-mode control with an internally compensated error amplifier and 1.255 V reference. Its 1.6 MHz switching frequency enables use of sub-2.2 µH inductors and ceramic capacitors while maintaining >85% efficiency at 20V/500mA output.
It integrates soft-start (4 ms ramp), undervoltage lockout (2.3 V rising threshold), and thermal shutdown (160°C activation, 10°C hysteresis). The device supports both boost and SEPIC configurations via external component reconfiguration-no change to IC functionality or pin behavior.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V) and USB-powered systems without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage Range | Up to 24 V - set externally via resistor divider on FB pin; supports LCD panel bias and white LED strings. |
| Switch Current Limit | 2.1 A (min) - ensures reliable operation with 10–15 µH inductors delivering ≥1.2 A output at 12 V. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.6 MHz (typ) - enables compact 2.2 µH inductors and <10 µF ceramic output capacitance. |
| Feedback Voltage | 1.255 V (typ) - defines output regulation accuracy; ±2.5% over −40°C to +125°C (SOT-23). |
| Shutdown Quiescent Current | 80 nA (typ) - extends battery life in always-on portable devices with enable-controlled power gating. |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | 160°C - protects against sustained overload; resumes operation after junction cools to ~150°C. |
Pinout & Package
LMR62421XSDE/NOPB is packaged in a 5-pin SOT-23 (2.92 × 2.84 × 1.0 mm) with exposed pad not connected internally. Pin 1 is SW (switch node), Pin 2 is GND (signal/power ground), Pin 3 is FB (feedback input), Pin 4 is EN (enable/shutdown control), and Pin 5 is VIN (input supply).
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SW) | Switch node | Connects directly to inductor and output diode anode; carries high dv/dt and pulsed current-requires short, low-inductance routing. |
| 2 (GND) | Signal and power ground | Reference for FB divider bottom resistor; must be tied to system ground plane with minimal trace length to reduce noise coupling. |
| 3 (FB) | Feedback input | High-impedance node sensing output voltage divider; sensitive to EMI-route away from SW/VIN traces and shield if needed. |
| 4 (EN) | Enable/shutdown control | Logic-high (>1.8 V) enables regulation; logic-low (<0.4 V) disables with 80 nA IQ; must not float or exceed VIN + 0.3 V. |
| 5 (VIN) | Input supply | Power input for internal circuitry and switch driver; requires local 10–44 µF ceramic decoupling within 5 mm of pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internally compensated current-mode control | Eliminates external compensation components; stable across 3.3 V–24 V output range with standard ceramic output caps. |
| Internal soft-start (4 ms) | Prevents inrush current into output capacitor; limits peak input current during startup without external timing components. |
| Cycle-by-cycle current limiting | Protects internal NMOS switch under transient overload; sets maximum inductor peak current to ≤2.1 A (min guaranteed). |
| Ultra-low shutdown IQ (80 nA) | Enables true "off" state in battery-powered systems-extends shelf life and runtime in standby modes. |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Automatically disables switching at 160°C and re-enables at ~150°C-prevents thermal runaway without external monitoring. |
Applications
| LED Backlighting | LCD Bias Supply |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Driving parallel white LED strings in handheld displays requiring 18–22 V bias from a 3.3 V rail.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS61040DRVR | Lower max output (28 V), 0.5 A switch current, 1 MHz switching, no internal soft-start. | Not suitable for >1 A loads or fast-dimming LED applications requiring controlled ramp. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs output current and soft-start requirements. |
| MAX17062ETA+ | Higher input range (0.9 V–5.5 V), 1.2 A switch current, 2.2 MHz, integrated Schottky diode. | Cannot support 24 V output or SEPIC topology; limited by lower current and fixed 5 V max FB reference. | Prefer for ultra-low-input applications (e.g., single NiMH cell) where 24 V output is unnecessary. |
Compared with TPS61040DRVR and MAX17062ETA+, the LMR62421XSDE/NOPB uniquely combines 2.1 A current capability, 24 V output headroom, SEPIC flexibility, and 80 nA shutdown-making it the only option among the three qualified for high-current portable LED and LCD bias designs requiring thermal robustness and minimal external components.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage supported by the LMR62421XSDE/NOPB?
The LMR62421XSDE/NOPB supports output voltages up to 24 V, set externally via the FB pin resistor divider. This is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings (SW voltage ≤26.5 V) and Electrical Characteristics tables, where output regulation remains stable across the full 2.7–5.5 V input range. Operation beyond 24 V risks exceeding internal switch voltage limits.
Does the LMR62421XSDE/NOPB require external compensation components?
No, the LMR62421XSDE/NOPB is internally compensated. Its current-mode architecture and built-in error amplifier eliminate the need for external compensation networks. Verified in the "FEATURES" section and "COMPENSATION" application note, this enables stable operation with only five external components (inductor, diode, input/output caps, and FB divider) across all valid output configurations.
Can the LMR62421XSDE/NOPB be used in SEPIC topology?
Yes, the LMR62421XSDE/NOPB supports SEPIC configuration, as explicitly documented in the "SEPIC Converter" section of the datasheet. Its low-side NMOS switch and current-mode control allow direct reuse of the same IC with modified external components (two inductors, coupling capacitor), enabling output voltages both above and below input-ideal for single-cell Li-ion battery systems.
What is the thermal shutdown behavior of the LMR62421XSDE/NOPB?
The LMR62421XSDE/NOPB activates thermal shutdown at 160°C junction temperature and resumes operation once the junction cools to approximately 150°C, providing 10°C hysteresis. This behavior is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table and validated in thermal testing-ensuring automatic recovery without latch-up or manual reset.
How does the enable pin (EN) function on the LMR62421XSDE/NOPB?
The EN pin on the LMR62421XSDE/NOPB is an active-high shutdown control: logic high (>1.8 V) enables regulation; logic low (<0.4 V) disables switching and reduces quiescent current to 80 nA. The datasheet warns against floating the pin or exceeding VIN + 0.3 V-both conditions risk unpredictable operation or damage.
