APPLICATION HINTS
The LM2677 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 5A,
and highly efficient operation.
The LM2677 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 a design software program called Switchers Made Simple a complete switching power supply
can be designed quickly. The software is provided free of charge and can be downloaded from Texas
Instrument's website.
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 260KHz oscillator. In a standard step-down
application the duty cycle (Time ON/Time OFF) of the power switch is proportional to the ratio of the power
supply output voltage to the input voltage. The voltage on pin 1 switches between Vin (switch ON) and below
ground by the voltage drop of the external Schottky diode (switch OFF).
INPUT
The input voltage for the power supply is connected to pin 2. In addition to providing energy to the load the input
voltage also provides bias for the internal circuitry of the LM2677. For ensured performance the input voltage
must be in the range of 8V to 40V. For best performance of the power supply the input pin should always be
bypassed with an input capacitor located close to pin 2.
C BOOST
A capacitor must be connected from pin 3 to the switch output, pin 1. 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 0.01μF.
GROUND
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 LM2677, it is recommended that a broad ground plane be used
to minimize signal coupling throughout the circuit
SYNC
This input allows control of the switching clock frequency. If left open-circuited the regulator will be switched at
the internal oscillator frequency, between 225KHz and 280KHz. 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 LM2677 internal oscillator frequency, which could be as high as 280KHz, 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. It is recommended that the external TTL or CMOS compatible
clock (between 0V and a level greater than 3V) be ac coupled to the sync input through a 100pf capacitor and a
1KΩresistor to ground at pin 5 as shown in Figure 19.
When the SYNC function is used, current limit frequency foldback is not active. Therefore, the device my not be
fully protected against extreme output short circuit conditions. See ADDITIONAL APPLICATION INFORMATION.

FEEDBACK
This is the input to a two-stage high gain amplifier, which drives the PWM controller. It is necessary to connect
pin 6 to the actual output of the power supply to set the dc output voltage. For the fixed output devices (3.3V, 5V
and 12V outputs), a direct wire connection to the output is all that is required as internal gain setting resistors are
provided inside the LM2677. 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.
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 0.8V will completely turn OFF the regulator. The current drain from the input supply when OFF
is only 50μA. Pin 7 has an internal pull-up current source of approximately 20μA and a protection clamp zener
diode of 7V to ground. When electrically driving the ON/OFF pin the high voltage level for the ON condition
should not exceed the 6V absolute maximum limit. When ON/OFF control is not required pin 7 should be left
open circuited.
DAP (VSON PACKAGE)
The Die Attach Pad (DAP) can and should be connected to PCB Ground plane/island. For CAD and assembly
guidelines refer to Application Note AN-1187 (SNOA401).

Power supply design using the LM2677 is greatly simplified by using recommended external components. A wide
range of inductors, capacitors and Schottky diodes from several manufacturers have been evaluated for use in
designs that cover the full range of capabilities (input voltage, output voltage and load current) of the LM2677. A
simple design procedure using nomographs and component tables provided in this data sheet leads to a working
design with very little effort. Alternatively, the design software, LM267X Made Simple (version 6.0), can also be
used to provide instant component selection, circuit performance calculations for evaluation, a bill of materials
component list and a circuit schematic.
The individual components from the various manufacturers called out for use are still just a small sample of the
vast array of components available in the industry. While these components are recommended, they are not
exclusively the only components for use in a design. After a close comparison of component specifications,
equivalent devices from other manufacturers could be substituted for use in an application.
Important considerations for each external component and an explanation of how the nomographs and selection
tables were developed follows.
INDUCTOR
The inductor is the key component in a switching regulator. For efficiency the inductor stores energy during the
switch ON time and then transfers energy to the load while the switch is OFF.
Nomographs are used to select the inductance value required for a given set of operating conditions. The
nomographs assume that the circuit is operating in continuous mode (the current flowing through the inductor
never falls to zero). The magnitude of inductance is selected to maintain a maximum ripple current of 30% of the
maximum load current. If the ripple current exceeds this 30% limit the next larger value is selected.
The inductors offered have been specifically manufactured to provide proper operation under all operating
conditions of input and output voltage and load current. Several part types are offered for a given amount of
inductance. Both surface mount and through-hole devices are available. The inductors from each of the three
manufacturers have unique characteristics.
Renco: ferrite stick core inductors; benefits are typically lowest cost and can withstand ripple and transient peak
currents above the rated value. These inductors have an external magnetic field, which may generate EMI.
Pulse Engineering: powdered iron toroid core inductors; these also can withstand higher than rated currents and,
being toroid inductors, will have low EMI.
Coilcraft: ferrite drum core inductors; these are the smallest physical size inductors and are available only as
surface mount components. These inductors also generate EMI but less than stick inductors.
OUTPUT CAPACITOR
The output capacitor acts to smooth the dc output voltage and also provides energy storage. Selection of an
output capacitor, with an associated equivalent series resistance (ESR), impacts both the amount of output ripple
voltage and stability of the control loop.
The output ripple voltage of the power supply is the product of the capacitor ESR and the inductor ripple current.
The capacitor types recommended in the Capacitor Selection Guides were selected for having low ESR ratings.
In addition, both surface mount tantalum capacitors and through-hole aluminum electrolytic capacitors are offered
as solutions.
Impacting frequency stability of the overall control loop, the output capacitance, in conjunction with the inductor,
creates a double pole inside the feedback loop. In addition the capacitance and the ESR value create a zero.
These frequency response effects together with the internal frequency compensation circuitry of the LM2677
modify the gain and phase shift of the closed loop system.
As a general rule for stable switching regulator circuits it is desired to have the unity gain bandwidth of the circuit
to be limited to no more than one-sixth of the controller switching frequency. With the fixed 260KHz switching
frequency of the LM2677, the output capacitor is selected to provide a unity gain bandwidth of 40KHz maximum.
Each recommended capacitor value has been chosen to achieve this result.
In some cases multiple capacitors are required either to reduce the ESR of the output capacitor, to minimize
output ripple (a ripple voltage of 1% of Vout or less is the assumed performance condition), or to increase the
output capacitance to reduce the closed loop unity gain bandwidth (to less than 40KHz). When parallel
combinations of capacitors are required it has been assumed that each capacitor is the exact same part type.

SNVS077I MAY 2004REVISED JUNE 2012
The RMS current and working voltage (WV) ratings of the output capacitor are also important considerations. In a
typical step-down switching regulator, the inductor ripple current (set to be no more than 30% of the maximum
load current by the inductor selection) is the current that flows through the output capacitor. The capacitor RMS
current rating must be greater than this ripple current. The voltage rating of the output capacitor should be
greater than 1.3 times the maximum output voltage of the power supply. If operation of the system at elevated
temperatures is required, the capacitor voltage rating may be de-rated to less than the nominal room temperature
rating. Careful inspection of the manufacturer's specification for de-rating of working voltage with temperature is
important.
INPUT CAPACITOR
Fast changing currents in high current switching regulators place a significant dynamic load on the unregulated
power source. An input capacitor helps to provide additional current to the power supply as well as smooth out
input voltage variations.
Like the output capacitor, the key specifications for the input capacitor are RMS current rating and working
voltage. The RMS current flowing through the input capacitor is equal to one-half of the maximum dc load current
so the capacitor should be rated to handle this. Paralleling multiple capacitors proportionally increases the
current rating of the total capacitance. The voltage rating should also be selected to be 1.3 times the maximum
input voltage. Depending on the unregulated input power source, under light load conditions the maximum input
voltage could be significantly higher than normal operation and should be considered when selecting an input
capacitor.
The input capacitor should be placed very close to the input pin of the LM2677. Due to relative high current
operation with fast transient changes, the series inductance of input connecting wires or PCB traces can create
ringing signals at the input terminal which could possibly propagate to the output or other parts of the circuitry. It
may be necessary in some designs to add a small valued (0.1μF to 0.47μF) ceramic type capacitor in parallel
with the input capacitor to prevent or minimize any ringing.
CATCH DIODE
When the power switch in the LM2677 turns OFF, the current through the inductor continues to flow. The path for
this current is through the diode connected between the switch output and ground. This forward biased diode
clamps the switch output to a voltage less than ground. This negative voltage must be greater than 1V so a low
voltage drop (particularly at high current levels) Schottky diode is recommended. Total efficiency of the entire
power supply is significantly impacted by the power lost in the output catch diode. The average current through
the catch diode is dependent on the switch duty cycle (D) and is equal to the load current times (1-D). Use of a
diode rated for much higher current than is required by the actual application helps to minimize the voltage drop
and power loss in the diode.
During the switch ON time the diode will be reversed biased by the input voltage. The reverse voltage rating of
the diode should be at least 1.3 times greater than the maximum input voltage.
BOOST CAPACITOR
The boost capacitor creates a voltage used to overdrive the gate of the internal power MOSFET. This improves
efficiency by minimizing the on resistance of the switch and associated power loss. For all applications it is
recommended to use a 0.01μF/50V ceramic capacitor.
SYNC COMPONENTS
When synchronizing the LM2677 with an external clock it is recommended to connect the clock to pin 5 through
a series 100pf capacitor and connect a 1KΩresistor to ground from pin 5. This RC network creates a short
100nS pulse on each positive edge of the clock to reset the internal ramp oscillator. The reset time of the
oscillator is approximately 300nS.
ADDITIONAL APPLICATION INFORMATION
When the output voltage is greater than approximately 6V, and the duty cycle at minimum input voltage is greater
than approximately 50%, the designer should 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 (½CV2), 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 will recover smoothly.
Practical values of external components that have been experimentally found to work well under these specific
operating conditions are COUT = 47µF, L = 22µH. It should be noted 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 24V and the set output voltage is 18V, then for
a desired maximum current of 1.5A, the current limit of the chosen switcher must be confirmed to be at least 3A.
Under extreme over-current 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 will be automatically reduced to protect the IC.
Frequency below 100 KHz is typical for an extreme short circuit condition.
SIMPLE DESIGN PROCEDURE
Using the nomographs and tables in this data sheet (or the available design software) a complete step-down
regulator can be designed in a few simple steps.
Step 1: Define the power supply operating conditions:
Required output voltage
Maximum DC input voltage
Maximum output load current
Step 2: Set the output voltage by selecting a fixed output LM2677 (3.3V, 5V or 12V applications) or determine
the required feedback resistors for use with the adjustable LM2677ADJ
Step 3: Determine the inductor required by using one of the four nomographs, Figure 21 through Figure 24.
Inductor Manufacturer Part Numbers provides a specific manufacturer and part number for the inductor.
Step 4: Using Table 6 (fixed output voltage) or Table 10 (adjustable output voltage), determine the output
capacitance required for stable operation. Table 3 provides the specific capacitor type from the manufacturer of
choice.
Step 5: Determine an input capacitor from Table 7 for fixed output voltage applications. Use Table 3 to find the
specific capacitor type. For adjustable output circuits select a capacitor from Table 3 with a sufficient working
voltage (WV) rating greater than Vin max, and an rms current rating greater than one-half the maximum load
current (2 or more capacitors in parallel may be required).
Step 6: Select a diode from Table 8. The current rating of the diode must be greater than I load max and the
Reverse Voltage rating must be greater than Vin max.
Step 7: Include a 0.01μF/50V capacitor for Cboost in the design.
FIXED OUTPUT VOLTAGE DESIGN EXAMPLE
A system logic power supply bus of 3.3V is to be generated from a wall adapter which provides an unregulated
DC voltage of 13V to 16V. The maximum load current is 2.5A. Through-hole components are preferred.

Step 1: Operating conditions are:
Vout = 3.3V
Vin max = 16V
Iload max = 2.5A
Step 2: Select an LM2677T-3.3. The output voltage will have a tolerance of
±2% at room temperature and ±3% over the full operating temperature range.
Step 3: Use the nomograph for the 3.3V device, Figure 21. The intersection of the 16V horizontal line (Vin max)
and the 2.5A vertical line (Iload max) indicates that L33, a 22μH inductor, is required.
From Table 1, L33 in a through-hole component is available from Renco with part number RL-1283-22-43 or part
number PE-53933 from Pulse Engineering.
Step 4: Use Table 6 to determine an output capacitor. With a 3.3V output and a 22μH inductor there are four
through-hole output capacitor solutions with the number of same type capacitors to be paralleled and an
identifying capacitor code given. Table 3 provides the actual capacitor characteristics. Any of the following
choices will work in the circuit:
1 x 220μF/10V Sanyo OS-CON (code C5)
1 x 1000μF/35V Sanyo MV-GX (code C10)
1 x 2200μF/10V Nichicon PL (code C5)
1 x 1000μF/35V Panasonic HFQ (code C7)
Step 5: Use Table 7 to select an input capacitor. With 3.3V output and 22μH there are three through-hole
solutions. These capacitors provide a sufficient voltage rating and an rms current rating greater than 1.25A (1/2
Iload max). Again using Table 3 for specific component characteristics the following choices are suitable:
1 x 1000μF/63V Sanyo MV-GX (code C14)
1 x 820μF/63V Nichicon PL (code C24)
1 x 560μF/50V Panasonic HFQ (code C13)
Step 6: From Table 8 a 3A Schottky diode must be selected. For through-hole components 20V rated diodes are
sufficient and 2 part types are suitable:
1N5820
SR302
Step 7: A 0.01μF capacitor will be used for Cboost.
ADJUSTABLE OUTPUT DESIGN EXAMPLE
In this example it is desired to convert the voltage from a two battery automotive power supply (voltage range of
20V to 28V, typical in large truck applications) to the 14.8VDC alternator supply typically used to power electronic
equipment from single battery 12V vehicle systems. The load current required is 2A maximum. It is also desired
to implement the power supply with all surface mount components.
Step 1: Operating conditions are:
Vout = 14.8V
Vin max = 28V
Iload max = 2A
Step 2: Select an LM2677S-ADJ. To set the output voltage to 14.9V two resistors need to be chosen (R1 and R2
in Figure 20). For the adjustable device the output voltage is set by the following relationship:
where

VFB is the feedback voltage of typically 1.21V
A recommended value to use for R1 is 1K. In this example then R2 is determined to be:
R2 = 11.23KΩ
The closest standard 1% tolerance value to use is 11.3KΩ
This will set the nominal output voltage to 14.88V which is within 0.5% of the target value.

Step 3: To use the nomograph for the adjustable device, Figure 24, requires a calculation of the inductor
Volt•microsecond constant (E•T expressed in V•μS) from the following formula:
where
VSAT is the voltage drop across the internal power switch which is Rds(ON) times Iload
In this example this would be typically 0.15Ωx 2A or 0.3V and VDis the voltage drop across the forward bisased
Schottky diode, typically 0.5V. The switching frequency of 260KHz is the nominal value to use to estimate the
ON time of the switch during which energy is stored in the inductor.
For this example E•T is found to be:
Using Figure 24, the intersection of 27V•μS horizontally and the 2A vertical line (Iload max) indicates that L38 , a
68μH inductor, should be used.
From Table 1, L38 in a surface mount component is available from Pulse Engineering with part number PE-
54038S.
Step 4: Use Table 10 to determine an output capacitor. With a 14.8V output the 12.5 to 15V row is used and with
a 68μH inductor there are three surface mount output capacitor solutions. Table 3 provides the actual capacitor
characteristics based on the C Code number. Any of the following choices can be used:
1 x 33μF/20V AVX TPS (code C6)
1 x 47μF/20V Sprague 594 (code C8)
1 x 47μF/20V Kemet T495 (code C8)
Important Note: When using the adjustable device in low voltage applications (less than 3V output), if the
nomograph, Figure 24, selects an inductance of 22μH or less, Table 10 does not provide an output capacitor
solution. With these conditions the number of output capacitors required for stable operation becomes
impractical. It is recommended to use either a 33μH or 47μH inductor and the output capacitors from Table 10.
Step 5: An input capacitor for this example will require at least a 35V WV rating with an rms current rating of 1A
(1/2 Iout max). From Table 3 it can be seen that C12, a 33μF/35V capacitor from Sprague, has the required
voltage/current rating of the surface mount components.
Step 6: From Table 8 a 3A Schottky diode must be selected. For surface mount diodes with a margin of safety
on the voltage rating one of five diodes can be used:
SK34
30BQ040
30WQ04F
MBRS340
MBRD340
Step 7: A 0.01μF capacitor will be used for Cboost.

(2) Eco Plan - The planned eco-friendly classification: Pb-Free (RoHS), Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt), or Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) - please check http://www.ti.com/productcontent for the latest availability
information and additional product content details.
TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that
lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between
the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above.
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight
in homogeneous material)
(3) MSL, Peak Temp. - The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder temperature.
(4) There may be additional marking, which relates to the logo, the lot trace code information, or the environmental category on the device.
(5) Multiple Device Markings will be inside parentheses. Only one Device Marking contained in parentheses and separated by a "~" will appear on a device. If a line is indented then it is a continuation
of the previous line and the two combined represent the entire Device Marking for that device.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other
changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest
issue. Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and
complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale
supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of such information 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.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
