3 Description
The LM2672 series of regulators are monolithic
integrated DC-DC converter built with a LMDMOS
process. These regulators provide all the active
functions for a step-down (buck) switching regulator,
capable of driving a 1-A load current with excellent
line and load regulation. These devices are available
in fixed output voltages of 3.3 V, 5 V, 12 V, and an
adjustable output version.
Requiring a minimum number of external
components, these regulators are simple to use and
include patented internal frequency compensation,
fixed frequency oscillator, external shutdown, soft-
start, and frequency synchronization.
The LM2672 series operates at a switching frequency
of 260 kHz, thus allowing smaller sized filter
components than what is required with lower
frequency switching regulators. Because of its very
high efficiency (>90%), the copper traces on the
printed-circuit board are the only heat sinking
required.

9 Detailed Description
9.1 Overview
The LM2672 provides all of the active functions required for a step-down (buck) switching regulator. The internal
power switch is a DMOS power MOSFET to provide power supply designs with high current capability, up to 1 A,
and highly efficient operation.
The LM2672 is part of the SIMPLE SWITCHER®family of power converters. A complete design uses a minimum
number of external components, which have been pre-determined from a variety of manufacturers. Using either
this data sheet or TI's WEBENCH®design tool, a complete switching power supply can be designed quickly.
Refer to LM2670 SIMPLE SWITCHER®High Efficiency 3A Step-Down Voltage Regulator with Sync for additional
application information.
9.2 Functional Block Diagram
9.3 Feature Description
9.3.1 Switch Output
This is the output of a power MOSFET switch connected directly to the input voltage. The switch provides energy
to an inductor, an output capacitor and the load circuitry under control of an internal pulse-width-modulator
(PWM). The PWM controller is internally clocked by a fixed 260-kHz oscillator. In a standard step-down
application the duty cycle (time ON or time OFF) of the power switch is proportional to the ratio of the power
supply output voltage to the input voltage. The voltage on the VSW pin cycles between Vin (switch ON) and below
ground by the voltage drop of the external Schottky diode (switch OFF).

Feature Description (continued)
9.3.2 C Boost
A capacitor must be connected from the CBpin to the VSW pin. This capacitor boosts the gate drive to the internal
MOSFET above Vin to fully turn it ON. This minimizes conduction losses in the power switch to maintain high
efficiency. The recommended value for C Boost is 0.01 μF.
9.3.3 SYNC
This input allows control of the switching clock frequency. If left open-circuited the regulator is switched at the
internal oscillator frequency, typically 260 kHz. An external clock can be used to force the switching frequency
and thereby control the output ripple frequency of the regulator. This capability provides for consistent filtering of
the output ripple from system to system as well as precise frequency spectrum positioning of the ripple frequency
which is often desired in communications and radio applications. This external frequency must be greater than
the LM2672 internal oscillator frequency, which could be as high as 275 kHz, to prevent an erroneous reset of
the internal ramp oscillator and PWM control of the power switch. The ramp oscillator is reset on the positive
going edge of the sync input signal. TI recommends that the external TTL or CMOS compatible clock (between 0
V and a level greater than 3 V) be AC-coupled to the SYNC pin through a 100-pF capacitor and a
1-kΩresistor to ground.
When the SYNC function is used, current limit frequency foldback is not active. Therefore, the device may not be
fully protected against extreme output short circuit conditions.
9.3.4 Feedback
This is the input to a two-stage high gain amplifier, which drives the PWM controller. Connect the FB pin directly
to the output for proper regulation. For the fixed output devices (3.3-V, 5-V, and 12-V outputs), a direct wire
connection to the output is all that is required as internal gain setting resistors are provided inside the LM2672.
For the adjustable output version two external resistors are required to set the DC output voltage. For stable
operation of the power supply, it is important to prevent coupling of any inductor flux to the feedback input.
9.4 Device Functional Modes
9.4.1 ON/OFF
This input provides an electrical ON/OFF control of the power supply. Connecting this pin to ground or to any
voltage less than 1.4 V completely turns OFF the regulator. The current drain from the input supply when OFF is
only 50 μA. The ON/OFF input has an internal pullup current source of approximately 20 μA and a protection
clamp Zener diode of 7 V to ground. When electrically driving the ON/OFF pin the high voltage level for the ON
condition must not exceed the 6-V absolute maximum limit. When ON/OFF control is not required this pin must
be left open.
9.4.2 Shutdown Mode
The ON/OFF pin provides electrical ON and OFF control for the LM2671. When the voltage of this pin is lower
than 1.4 V, the device is shutdown mode. The typical standby current in this mode is 50 μA.
9.4.3 Active Mode
When the voltage of the ON/OFF pin is higher than 1.4 V, the device starts switching and the output voltage rises
until it reaches a normal regulation voltage.

10 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
10.1 Application Information
The LM2672 is a step-down DC-DC regulator. It is typically used to convert a higher DC voltage to a lower DC
voltage with a maximum output current of 1 A. The following design procedure can be used to select components
for the LM2672.
When the output voltage is greater than approximately 6 V, and the duty cycle at minimum input voltage is
greater than approximately 50%, the designer must exercise caution in selection of the output filter components.
When an application designed to these specific operating conditions is subjected to a current limit fault condition,
it may be possible to observe a large hysteresis in the current limit. This can affect the output voltage of the
device until the load current is reduced sufficiently to allow the current limit protection circuit to reset itself.
Under current limiting conditions, the LM267x is designed to respond in the following manner:
1. At the moment when the inductor current reaches the current limit threshold, the ON-pulse is immediately
terminated. This happens for any application condition.
2. However, the current limit block is also designed to momentarily reduce the duty cycle to below 50% to avoid
subharmonic oscillations, which could cause the inductor to saturate.
3. Thereafter, once the inductor current falls below the current limit threshold, there is a small relaxation time
during which the duty cycle progressively rises back above 50% to the value required to achieve regulation.
If the output capacitance is sufficiently large, it may be possible that as the output tries to recover, the output
capacitor charging current is large enough to repeatedly re-trigger the current limit circuit before the output has
fully settled. This condition is exacerbated with higher output voltage settings because the energy requirement of
the output capacitor varies as the square of the output voltage CV2), thus requiring an increased charging
current. A simple test to determine if this condition might exist for a suspect application is to apply a short circuit
across the output of the converter, and then remove the shorted output condition. In an application with properly
selected external components, the output recovers smoothly. Practical values of external components that have
been experimentally found to work well under these specific operating conditions are COUT = 47 µF, L = 22 µH.
Note that even with these components, for a device’s current limit of ICLIM, the maximum load current under
which the possibility of the large current limit hysteresis can be minimized is ICLIM/2. For example, if the input is
24 V and the set output voltage is 18 V, then for a desired maximum current of 1.5 A, the current limit of the
chosen switcher must be confirmed to be at least 3 A. Under extreme overcurrent or short-circuit conditions, the
LM267X employs frequency foldback in addition to the current limit. If the cycle-by-cycle inductor current
increases above the current limit threshold (due to short circuit or inductor saturation for example) the switching
frequency is automatically reduced to protect the IC. Frequency below 100 KHz is typical for an extreme short-
circuit condition.

10.2.1.2.1 Inductor Selection (L1)
First, select the correct inductor value selection guide from Figure 23,Figure 24,orFigure 25 (output voltages of
3.3-V, 5-V, or 12-V respectively). For all other voltages, see the design procedure for the adjustable version. Use
the inductor selection guide for the 5-V version shown in Figure 24.
From the inductor value selection guide, identify the inductance region intersected by the maximum input voltage
line and the maximum load current line. Each region is identified by an inductance value and an inductor code
(LXX). From the inductor value selection guide shown in Figure 24, the inductance region intersected by the 12 V
horizontal line and the 1 A vertical line is 33 μH, and the inductor code is L23.
Select an appropriate inductor from the four manufacturer's part numbers listed in Table 2. Each manufacturer
makes a different style of inductor to allow flexibility in meeting various design requirements. The inductance
value required is 33 μH. From Table 2, go to the L23 line and choose an inductor part number from any of the
four manufacturers shown. In most instances, both through hole and surface mount inductors are available.

10.2.1.2.3 Catch Diode Selection (D1)
In normal operation, the average current of the catch diode is the load current times the catch diode duty cycle,
1-D (D is the switch duty cycle, which is approximately the output voltage divided by the input voltage). The
largest value of the catch diode average current occurs at the maximum load current and maximum input voltage
(minimum D). For normal operation, the catch diode current rating must be at least 1.3 times greater than its
maximum average current. However, if the power supply design must withstand a continuous output short, the
diode must have a current rating equal to the maximum current limit of the LM2672. The most stressful condition
for this diode is a shorted output condition. Refer to the table shown in Table 4. In this example, a 1-A, 20-V
Schottky diode provides the best performance. If the circuit must withstand a continuous shorted output, a higher
current Schottky diode is recommended.
The reverse voltage rating of the diode must be at least 1.25 times the maximum input voltage. Because of their
fast switching speed and low forward voltage drop, Schottky diodes provide the best performance and efficiency.
This Schottky diode must be placed close to the LM2672 using short leads and short printed circuit traces.

10.2.1.2.4 Input Capacitor (CIN)
A low ESR aluminum or tantalum bypass capacitor is required between the input pin and ground to prevent large
voltage transients from appearing at the input. This capacitor must be placed close to the IC using short leads. In
addition, the RMS current rating of the input capacitor must be selected to be at least ½ the DC load current. The
capacitor manufacturer data sheet must be checked to assure that this current rating is not exceeded. Figure 21
shows typical RMS current ratings for several different aluminum electrolytic capacitor values. A parallel
connection of two or more capacitors may be required to increase the total minimum RMS current rating to suit
the application requirements.
Figure 21. RMS Current Ratings for Low ESR Electrolytic Capacitors (Typical)
For an aluminum electrolytic capacitor, the voltage rating must be at least 1.25 times the maximum input voltage.
Caution must be exercised if solid tantalum capacitors are used. The tantalum capacitor voltage rating must be
twice the maximum input voltage. The tables in Table 5 show the recommended application voltage for AVX TPS
and Sprague 594D tantalum capacitors. It is also recommended that they be surge current tested by the
manufacturer. The TPS series available from AVX, and the 593D and 594D series from Sprague are all surge
current tested. Another approach to minimize the surge current stresses on the input capacitor is to add a small
inductor in series with the input supply line.

Use caution when using ceramic capacitors for input bypassing, because it may cause severe ringing at the VIN
pin.
The important parameters for the input capacitor are the input voltage rating and the RMS current rating. With a
maximum input voltage of 12 V, an aluminum electrolytic capacitor with a voltage rating greater than 15 V (1.25 ×
VIN) is required. The next higher capacitor voltage rating is 16 V.
The RMS current rating requirement for the input capacitor in a buck regulator is approximately ½ the DC load
current. In this example, with a 1-A load, a capacitor with a RMS current rating of at least 500 mA is required.
The curves shown in Figure 21 can be used to select an appropriate input capacitor. From the curves, locate the
16-V line and note which capacitor values have RMS current ratings greater than 500 mA.
For a through hole design, a 330-μF, 16-V electrolytic capacitor (Panasonic HFQ series, Nichicon PL, Sanyo MV-
GX series or equivalent) would be adequate. Other types or other manufacturers' capacitors can be used
provided the RMS ripple current ratings are adequate. Additionally, for a complete surface mount design,
electrolytic capacitors such as the Sanyo CV-C or CV-BS and the Nichicon WF or UR and the NIC Components
NACZ series could be considered.
For surface mount designs, solid tantalum capacitors can be used, but caution must be exercised with regard to
the capacitor surge current rating and voltage rating. In this example, checking Table 5, and the Sprague 594D
series data sheet, a Sprague 594D 15-μF, 25-V capacitor is adequate.
10.2.1.2.5 Boost Capacitor (CB)
This capacitor develops the necessary voltage to turn the switch gate on fully. All applications must use a 0.01-
μF, 50-V ceramic capacitor.
10.2.1.2.6 Soft-Start Capacitor (CSS, Optional)
This capacitor controls the rate at which the device starts up. The formula for the soft-start capacitor CSS is
calculated with Equation 1.
where
ISS = Soft-start current (4.5 µA, typical)
tSS = Soft-start time (selected)
VSSTH = Soft-start threshold voltage (0.63 V, typical)
VOUT = Output voltage (selected)
VSCHOTTKY = Schottky diode voltage drop (0.4 V, typical)
VIN = Input voltage (selected) (1)
If this feature is not desired, leave this pin open. With certain soft-start capacitor values and operating conditions,
the LM2672 can exhibit an overshoot on the output voltage during turn on. Especially when starting up into no
load or low load, the soft-start function may not be effective in preventing a larger voltage overshoot on the
output. With larger loads or lower input voltages during startup this effect is minimized. In particular, avoid using
soft-start capacitors between 0.033 µF and 1 µF.
For this application, selecting a start-up time of 10 ms and using the formula for CSS results in a value of
Equation 2.

10.2.1.2.7 Frequency Synchronization (Optional)
The LM2672 (oscillator) can be synchronized to run with an external oscillator, using the sync pin (pin 3). By
doing so, the LM2672 can be operated at higher frequencies than the standard frequency of 260 kHz. This
allows for a reduction in the size of the inductor and output capacitor.
As shown in Figure 22, a signal applied to a RC filter at the sync pin causes the device to synchronize to the
frequency of that signal. For a signal with a peak-to-peak amplitude of 3 V or greater, a 1-kresistor and a 100-
pF capacitor are suitable values. For all applications, use a 1-kresistor and a 100-pF capacitor for the RC filter.

For this application example, calculate the inductor Volt × microsecond constant (E × T) with Equation 7.

Use the E × T value from the previous formula and match it with the E × T number on the vertical axis of the
inductor value selection guide in Figure 27. E × T = 21.6 (V × μs).
On the horizontal axis, select the maximum load current (ILOAD(max) = 1 A).
Identify the inductance region intersected by the E × T value and the maximum load current value. Each region is
identified by an inductance value and an inductor code (LXX). From the inductor value selection guide shown in
Figure 27, the inductance region intersected by the 21.6 (V × μs) horizontal line and the 1-A vertical line is 68 μH,
and the inductor code is L30.
Select an appropriate inductor from the four manufacturer's part numbers listed in Table 2. For information on the

10.2.2.2.4 Catch Diode Selection (D1)
In normal operation, the average current of the catch diode is the load current times the catch diode duty cycle,
1-D (D is the switch duty cycle, which is approximately VOUT / VIN). The largest value of the catch diode average
current occurs at the maximum input voltage (minimum D). For normal operation, the catch diode current rating
must be at least 1.3 times greater than its maximum average current. However, if the power supply design must
withstand a continuous output short, the diode must have a current rating greater than the maximum current limit
of the LM2672. The most stressful condition for this diode is a shorted output condition. Refer to the table shown
in Table 4. Schottky diodes provide the best performance, and in this example a 1-A, 40-V Schottky diode would
be a good choice. If the circuit must withstand a continuous shorted output, a higher current (at least 2.2-A)
Schottky diode is recommended.
The reverse voltage rating of the diode must be at least 1.25 times the maximum input voltage. Because of their
fast switching speed and low forward voltage drop, Schottky diodes provide the best performance and efficiency.
The Schottky diode must be placed close to the LM2672 using short leads and short printed circuit traces.
10.2.2.2.5 Input Capacitor (CIN)
A low ESR aluminum or tantalum bypass capacitor is required between the input pin and ground to prevent large
voltage transients from appearing at the input. This capacitor must be placed close to the IC using short leads. In
addition, the RMS current rating of the input capacitor must be selected to be at least ½ the DC load current. The
capacitor manufacturer data sheet must be checked to assure that this current rating is not exceeded. Figure 21
shows typical RMS current ratings for several different aluminum electrolytic capacitor values. A parallel
connection of two or more capacitors may be required to increase the total minimum RMS current rating to suit
the application requirements.
For an aluminum electrolytic capacitor, the voltage rating must be at least 1.25 times the maximum input voltage.
Caution must be exercised if solid tantalum capacitors are used. The tantalum capacitor voltage rating must be
twice the maximum input voltage. The tables in Table 5 show the recommended application voltage for AVX TPS
and Sprague 594D tantalum capacitors. It is also recommended that they be surge current tested by the
manufacturer. The TPS series available from AVX, and the 593D and 594D series from Sprague are all surge
current tested. Another approach to minimize the surge current stresses on the input capacitor is to add a small
inductor in series with the input supply line.
Use caution when using ceramic capacitors for input bypassing, because it may cause severe ringing at the VIN
pin.
The important parameters for the input capacitor are the input voltage rating and the RMS current rating. With a
maximum input voltage of 28 V, an aluminum electrolytic capacitor with a voltage rating of at least 35 V (1.25 ×
VIN) is required.
The RMS current rating requirement for the input capacitor in a buck regulator is approximately ½ the DC load
current. In this example, with a 1-A load, a capacitor with a RMS current rating of at least 500 mA is required.
The curves shown in Figure 21 can be used to select an appropriate input capacitor. From the curves, locate the
35-V line and note which capacitor values have RMS current ratings greater than 500 mA.
For a through hole design, a 330-μF, 35-V electrolytic capacitor (Panasonic HFQ series, Nichicon PL, Sanyo MV-
GX series or equivalent) would be adequate. Other types or other manufacturers' capacitors can be used
provided the RMS ripple current ratings are adequate. Additionally, for a complete surface mount design,
electrolytic capacitors such as the Sanyo CV-C or CV-BS and the Nichicon WF or UR and the NIC Components
NACZ series could be considered.
For surface mount designs, solid tantalum capacitors can be used, but caution must be exercised with regard to
the capacitor surge current rating and voltage rating. In this example, checking Table 5, and the Sprague 594D
series datasheet, a Sprague 594D 15-μF, 50-V capacitor is adequate.
10.2.2.2.6 Boost Capacitor (CB)
This capacitor develops the necessary voltage to turn the switch gate on fully. All applications must use a
0.01-μF, 50-V ceramic capacitor. If the soft-start and frequency synchronization features are desired, see steps 6
and 7 in the fixed output design procedure.

11 Power Supply Recommendations
The input voltage for the power supply is connected to the VIN pin. In addition to providing energy to the load the
input voltage also provides bias for the internal circuitry of the LM2672. For ensured performance, the input
voltage must be in the range of 6.5 V to 40 V. For best performance of the power supply, the VIN pin must always
be bypassed with an input capacitor placed close to this pin and GND.
12 Layout
12.1 Layout Guidelines
Layout is very important in switching regulator designs. Rapidly switching currents associated with wiring
inductance can generate voltage transients which can cause problems. For minimal inductance and ground
loops, the wires indicated by heavy lines (in Figure 19) must be wide printed circuit traces and must be kept as
short as possible. For best results, external components must be placed as close to the switcher IC as possible
using ground plane construction or single point grounding.
This is the ground reference connection for all components in the power supply. In fast-switching, high-current
applications such as those implemented with the LM2672, TI recommends that a broad ground plane be used to
minimize signal coupling throughout the circuit.
If open-core inductors are used, take special care as to the location and positioning of this type of inductor.
Allowing the inductor flux to intersect sensitive feedback, IC ground path, and COUT wiring can cause problems.
When using the adjustable version, take special care as to the location of the feedback resistors and the
associated wiring. Physically place both resistors near the IC, and route the wiring away from the inductor,
especially an open core type of inductor.
12.1.1 WSON Package Devices
The LM2672 is offered in the 16-pin WSON surface mount package to allow for increased power dissipation
compared to the 8-pin SOIC and PDIP.
The Die Attach Pad (DAP) can and must be connected to PCB Ground plane/island. For CAD and assembly
guidelines, refer to AN-1187 Leadless Leadframe Package (LLP).

include the TI product(s) identified in such TI Resource. NO OTHER LICENSE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY ESTOPPEL OR OTHERWISE
TO ANY OTHER TI INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT, AND NO LICENSE TO ANY TECHNOLOGY OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
RIGHT OF TI OR ANY THIRD PARTY IS GRANTED HEREIN, including but not limited to any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services are used. Information
regarding or referencing third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services, or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of TI Resources may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
TI RESOURCES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND WITH ALL FAULTS. TI DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR
REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING RESOURCES OR USE THEREOF, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS, TITLE, ANY EPIDEMIC FAILURE WARRANTY AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY RIGHTS. TI SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR AND SHALL NOT DEFEND OR INDEMNIFY DESIGNER AGAINST ANY CLAIM,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY INFRINGEMENT CLAIM THAT RELATES TO OR IS BASED ON ANY COMBINATION OF
PRODUCTS EVEN IF DESCRIBED IN TI RESOURCES OR OTHERWISE. IN NO EVENT SHALL TI BE LIABLE FOR ANY ACTUAL,
DIRECT, SPECIAL, COLLATERAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES IN
CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF TI RESOURCES OR USE THEREOF, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER TI HAS BEEN
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Unless TI has explicitly designated an individual product as meeting the requirements of a particular industry standard (e.g., ISO/TS 16949
and ISO 26262), TI is not responsible for any failure to meet such industry standard requirements.
Where TI specifically promotes products as facilitating functional safety or as compliant with industry functional safety standards, such
products are intended to help enable customers to design and create their own applications that meet applicable functional safety standards
and requirements. Using products in an application does not by itself establish any safety features in the application. Designers must
ensure compliance with safety-related requirements and standards applicable to their applications. Designer may not use any TI products in
life-critical medical equipment unless authorized officers of the parties have executed a special contract specifically governing such use.
Life-critical medical equipment is medical equipment where failure of such equipment would cause serious bodily injury or death (e.g., life
support, pacemakers, defibrillators, heart pumps, neurostimulators, and implantables). Such equipment includes, without limitation, all
medical devices identified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as Class III devices and equivalent classifications outside the U.S.
TI may expressly designate certain products as completing a particular qualification (e.g., Q100, Military Grade, or Enhanced Product).
Designers agree that it has the necessary expertise to select the product with the appropriate qualification designation for their applications
and that proper product selection is at Designers’ own risk. Designers are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory
requirements in connection with such selection.
Designer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages, costs, losses, and/or liabilities arising out of Designer’s non-
compliance with the terms and provisions of this Notice.
