The LM2671 series of regulators are monolithic
Available in SOIC, 8-pin PDIP and WSON integrated circuits built with a LMDMOS process.
Packages These regulators provide all the active functions for a
Computer Design Software LM267X Made step-down (buck) switching regulator, capable of
Simple (version 6.0) driving a 500mA load current with excellent line and
Simple and Easy to Design With load regulation. These devices are available in fixed
output voltages of 3.3V, 5.0V, 12V, and an adjustable
Requires Only 5 external Components output version.
Uses Readily Available Standard Inductors Requiring a minimum number of external
3.3V, 5.0V, 12V, and Adjustable Output components, these regulators are simple to use and
Versions include patented internal frequency compensation
Adjustable Version Output Voltage Range: (Patent Nos. 5,382,918 and 5,514,947), fixed
1.21V to 37V frequency oscillator, external shutdown, soft-start,
and frequency synchronization.
±1.5% Max Output Voltage Tolerance Over
Line and Load Conditions The LM2671 series operates at a switching frequency
Ensured 500mA Output Load Current of 260 kHz, thus allowing smaller sized filter
components than what would be needed with lower
0.25DMOS Output Switch frequency switching regulators. Because of its very
Wide Input Voltage Range: 8V to 40V high efficiency (>90%), the copper traces on the
260 kHz Fixed Frequency Internal Oscillator printed circuit board are the only heat sinking needed.
TTL Shutdown Capability, Low Power Standby A family of standard inductors for use with the
Mode LM2671 are available from several different
manufacturers. This feature greatly simplifies the
Soft-Start and Frequency Synchronization design of switch-mode power supplies using these
Thermal Shutdown and Current Limit advanced ICs. Also included in the datasheet are
Protection selector guides for diodes and capacitors designed to
work in switch-mode power supplies.
APPLICATIONS Other features include a ensured ±1.5% tolerance on
Simple High Efficiency (>90%) Step-Down output voltage within specified input voltages and
(Buck) Regulator output load conditions, and ±10% on the oscillator
Efficient Pre-Regulator for Linear Regulators frequency. External shutdown is included, featuring
typically 50 μA stand-by current. The output switch
includes current limiting, as well as thermal shutdown
for full protection under fault conditions.
To simplify the LM2671 buck regulator design
procedure, there exists computer design software,
LM267X Made Simple (version 6.0).

SNVS008K SEPTEMBER 1998REVISED APRIL 2013
The LM2671 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.
Also, refer to the LM2670 data sheet for additional applications information.
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 the VSW pin cycles 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 the VIN pin. In addition to providing energy to the load the
input voltage also provides bias for the internal circuitry of the LM2671. For ensured performance the input
voltage must be in the range of 6.5V to 40V. For best performance of the power supply the VIN pin should always
be bypassed with an input capacitor located close to this pin and GND.
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 0.01μF.
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 LM2671, 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, 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 LM2671 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. 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 pin through a 100pF capacitor and a
1KΩresistor 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.
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 (3.3V, 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 LM2671.
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. The ON/OFF input 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 this pin
should be left open.

must be at least 1.3 times greater than its maximum average

If this feature is not desired, leave this pin open. With certain
softstart capacitor values and operating conditions, the LM2671 can
exhibit an overshoot on the output voltage during turn on. Especially
when starting up into no load or low load, the softstart 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 softstart capacitors

260 kHz. This allows for a reduction in the size of the inductor and

As shown in the drawing below, a signal applied to a RC filter at the

Figure 29. PC Board Layout
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 22 and Figure 23) should be wide printed circuit traces
and should be kept as short as possible. For best results, external components should be located as close to
the switcher IC as possible using ground plane construction or single point grounding.
If open core inductors are used, special care must be taken 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, special care must be taken as to the location of the feedback resistors and
the associated wiring. Physically locate both resistors near the IC, and route the wiring away from the inductor,
especially an open core type of inductor.
