8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The LM2674 SIMPLE SWITCHER® regulator is an easy-to-use non-synchronous step-down DC-DC converter
with a wide input voltage range up to 40 V. It is capable of delivering up to 0.5-A DC 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. The family requires few external components and the pin arrangement was designed
for simple, optimum PCB layout.
8.2 Functional Block Diagram
8.3 Feature Description

8.3.1 Adjustable Output Voltage
The voltage regulation loop in the LM2674 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 required 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 1.21 V typically. To program the output voltage of the LM2674 to be a
certain value VOUT, R1 can be calculated with a selected R2 (see Adjustable Output Voltage Typical
Application). R2 is in the range from 10 kΩ to 100 kΩ is recommended for most applications. If the resistor

LM2674
Feature Description (continued)

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 regulator it up. The load connected to the output could be damaged under
such a condition. Do not short FB pin to ground when the LM2674 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 50 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.

LM2674
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 LM2674 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 0.5 A. The following design procedure can be used to select
components for the LM2674. Alternately, the WEBENCH® software may be used to generate complete designs.
When generating a design, the WEBENCH software uses iterative design procedure and accesses
comprehensive databases of components. See ti.com for more details.
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 (½ 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
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.

9.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
9.2.1.2.1 Inductor Selection (L1)

1. Select the correct inductor value selection guide from Figure 24, Figure 25, or Figure 26 (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 25.
2. 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 25, the inductance region
intersected by the 12-V horizontal line and the 500-mA vertical line is 47 μH, and the inductor code is L13.
3. Select an appropriate inductor from the four manufacturer's part numbers listed in Table 7. Each
manufacturer makes a different style of inductor to allow flexibility in meeting various design requirements.
Listed below are some of the differentiating characteristics of each manufacturer's inductors:
– Schott: ferrite EP core inductors; these have very low leakage magnetic fields to reduce electro-magnetic
interference (EMI) and are the lowest power loss inductors
– Renco: ferrite stick core inductors; benefits are typically lowest cost inductors and can withstand E•T and
transient peak currents above rated value. Be aware that these inductors have an external magnetic field
which may generate more EMI than other types of inductors.
– Pulse: powered iron toroid core inductors; these can also be low cost and can withstand larger than
normal E•T and transient peak currents. Toroid inductors have low EMI.
– Coilcraft: ferrite drum core inductors; these are the smallest physical size inductors, available only as

LM2674
SMT components. Be aware that these inductors also generate EMI—but less than stick inductors.
Complete specifications for these inductors are available from the respective manufacturers. The inductance
value required is 47 μH. From Table 7, go to the L13 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).
9.2.1.2.2 Output Capacitor Selection (COUT)

Select an output capacitor from the output capacitor Table 2. Using the output voltage and the inductance value
found in the inductor selection guide, step 1, locate the appropriate capacitor value and voltage rating. Use the
5-V section in the output capacitor Table 2. Choose a capacitor value and voltage rating from the line that
contains the inductance value of 47 μH. The capacitance and voltage rating values corresponding to the 47-μH
inductor are the following:
• Surface mount
– 68-μF, 10-V Sprague 594D series
– 100-μF, 10-V AVX TPS series
• Through hole
– 68-μF, 10-V Sanyo OS-CON SA series
– 150-μF, 35-V Sanyo MV-GX series
– 150-μF, 35-V Nichicon PL series
– 150-μF, 35-V Panasonic HFQ series
The capacitor list contains through-hole electrolytic capacitors from four different capacitor manufacturers and
surface-mount tantalum capacitors from two different capacitor manufacturers. TI recommends that both the
manufacturers and the manufacturer's series that are listed in the table be used.

9.2.1.2.3 Catch Diode Selection (D1)

1. 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 LM2674. The
most stressful condition for this diode is a shorted output condition. Refer to Table 3. 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.

2. The reverse voltage rating of the diode must be at least 1.25 times the maximum input voltage.
3. 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 LM2674 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 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. The
curves shown in Figure 16 show 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.

LM2674
Figure 16. 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. Table 4 and Table 5 show the recommended application voltage for AVX TPS
and Sprague 594D tantalum capacitors. TI 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.

LM2674
Use caution when using only 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 500-mA load, a capacitor with an RMS current rating of at least 250 mA is
required. The curves shown in Figure 16 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 250 mA.
For a through-hole design, a 100-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 4, and the Sprague 594D
series datasheet, a Sprague 594D 15-μF, 25-V capacitor is adequate.
9.2.1.2.5 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. For this application, and all applications, use a 0.01-μF, 50-V ceramic capacitor.

Select R1 and R2, as shown in Figure 19.
Use the following formula to select the appropriate resistor values.
where
• VREF = 1.21 V (1)
Select a value for R1 between 240 Ω and 1.5 kΩ. The lower resistor values minimize noise pickup in the sensitive

where
• R2 = 1k (16.53 − 1) = 15.53 kΩ, closest 1% value is 15.4 kΩ
R2 = 15.4 kΩ (3)
9.2.2.2.2 Inductor Selection (L1)

1. Calculate the inductor Volt • microsecond constant E • T (V • μs) from Equation 4.
where
• VSAT = internal switch saturation voltage = 0.25 V
• VD = diode forward voltage drop = 0.5 V (4)
Calculate the inductor Volt • microsecond constant (E • T) with Equation 5.
(5)
2. 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 shown in Figure 27.
E • T = 21.6 (V • μs)
3. On the horizontal axis, select the maximum load current.
ILOAD(max) = 500 mA
4. 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 500-mA vertical line is 100 μH, and the inductor code is L20.
5. Select an appropriate inductor from the four manufacturer's part numbers listed in Table 7. For information
on the different types of inductors, see the inductor selection in the fixed output voltage design procedure.
From Table 7, locate line L20, and select an inductor part number from the list of manufacturers' part
numbers.

9.2.2.2.3 Output Capacitor Selection (COUT)

1. Select an output capacitor from the capacitor code selection guide in Table 8. Using the inductance value
found in the inductor selection guide, step 1, locate the appropriate capacitor code corresponding to the
desired output voltage. Use the appropriate row of the capacitor code selection guide, in Table 8. For this
example, use the 15-V to 20-V row. The capacitor code corresponding to an inductance of 100 μH is C20.
2. Select an appropriate capacitor value and voltage rating, using the capacitor code, from the output capacitor
selection in Table 9. There are two solid tantalum (surface-mount) capacitor manufacturers and four
electrolytic (through-hole) capacitor manufacturers to choose from. TI recommends that both the
manufacturers and the manufacturer's series that are listed in the table be used. From the output capacitor
selection in Table 9, choose a capacitor value (and voltage rating) that intersects the capacitor code(s)
selected in section A, C20.
The capacitance and voltage rating values corresponding to the capacitor code C20 are the following:
– Surface mount
– 33-μF, 25-V Sprague 594D series
– 33-μF, 25-V AVX TPS series
– Through hole
– 33-μF, 25-V Sanyo OS-CON SC series
– 120-μF, 35-V Sanyo MV-GX series
– 120-μF, 35-V Nichicon PL series
– 20-μF, 35-V Panasonic HFQ series
Other manufacturers or other types of capacitors may also be used, provided the capacitor specifications
(especially the 100-kHz ESR) closely match the characteristics of the capacitors listed in the output capacitor
table. Refer to the capacitor manufacturers' data sheet for this information.

9.2.2.2.4 Catch Diode Selection (D1)

1. 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 LM2674. The most stressful condition for this diode is a shorted output
condition. Schottky diodes provide the best performance, and in this example a 500-mA, 40-V Schottky diode
would be a good choice. If the circuit must withstand a continuous shorted output, a higher current (at least
1.2 A) Schottky diode is recommended.
2. The reverse voltage rating of the diode must be at least 1.25 times the maximum input voltage.
3. 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 LM2674 using short leads and
short printed-circuit traces.

values. A parallel connection of two or more capacitors may be required to increase the total minimum RMS

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 10 and Table 5 show the recommended application voltage for AVX TPS
and Sprague 594D tantalum capacitors. TI also recommends that they be surge current tested by the

Use caution when using only 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 500-mA load, a capacitor with an RMS current rating of at least 250 mA is
required. The curves shown in Figure 16 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 250 mA.
For a through-hole design, a 68-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

Sprague 594D series datasheet, a Sprague 594D 15-μF, 50-V capacitor is adequate.

11.1 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 15 and 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.
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.
11.1.1 WSON Package Devices
