3 Description
The LM2675 series of regulators are monolithic
integrated DC-DC converter circuits 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
and a fixed frequency oscillator.
The LM2675 series operates at a switching frequency
of 260 kHz, thus allowing smaller-sized filter
components than what would be needed 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 needed.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The LM2675 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 LM2675 is part of the SIMPLE SWITCHER®family of power converters. A
complete design uses a minimum number of external components, which have been predetermined 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. See LM2670 SIMPLE SWITCHER®High Efficiency 3A Step-Down
Voltage Regulator with Sync for additional application information.
8.2 Functional Block Diagram
8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Adjustable Output Voltage
The voltage regulation loop in the LM2675 regulates output voltage by maintaining the voltage on FB pin (VFB) to
be the same as the internal REF voltage (VREF). A resistor divider pair is needed to program the ratio from output
voltage VOUT to VFB. The resistor is connected from the VOUT of the LM2674 to ground with the mid-point
connecting to the FB pin. The voltage reference system produces a precise voltage reference over temperature.
The internal REF voltage is typically 1.21 V. To program the output voltage of the LM2675 to be a certain value
VOUT, R1 can be calculated with a selected R2. See Programming Output Voltage for adjustable output voltage
typical application. The recommended range for R2 in most application is from 10 kΩto 100 k. If the resistor
divider is not connected properly, output voltage cannot be regulated because the feedback loop is broken. If the
FB pin is shorted to ground, the output voltage is driven close to VIN, because the regulator sees very low
voltage on the FB pin and tries to regulate it. The load connected to the output could be damaged under such a
condition. Do not short FB pin to ground when the LM2675 is enabled. It is important to route the feedback trace
away from the noisy area of the PCB. For more layout recommendations, see Layout.

8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1 Shutdown Mode
The ON/OFF pin provides electrical ON and OFF control for the LM2674. When the voltage of this pin is lower
than 1.4 V, the device is in shutdown mode. The typical standby current in this mode is 20 μA.
8.4.2 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.

9 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.
9.1 Application Information
The LM2675 is a step-down DC-DC regulator. The device 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 LM2675.
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 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 LM2675 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. 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 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 LM2675 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.

9.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
9.2.1.2.1 Inductor Selection (L1)
Select the correct inductor value selection guide from Figure 21,Figure 22,orFigure 23 (output voltages of
3.3 V, 5 V, or 12 V respectively). For all other voltages, see Detailed Design Procedure. Use the inductor
selection guide for the 5-V version shown in Figure 22.
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 22, 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 the table in 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.

9.2.1.2.3 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 LM2675. The most stressful condition
for this diode is a shorted output condition (see 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, TI recommends a Schottky diode
of higher current.
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 located close to the LM2675 using short leads and short printed circuit traces.

9.2.1.2.4 Input Capacitor (CIN)
A low ESR aluminum or tantalum bypass capacitor is needed between the input pin and ground to prevent large
voltage transients from appearing at the input. This capacitor must be located 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 20 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. Table 3 shows the recommended application voltage for AVX TPS and
Sprague 594D tantalum capacitors. TI also recommends 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) would be needed. 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 needed. The
curves shown in Figure 20 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.
