SNVS077J – MAY 2004 – REVISED JUNE 2016
LM2677 SIMPLE SWITCHER® High Efficiency 5-A Step-Down Voltage Regulator with Sync
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
The LM2677 series of regulators are monolithic
integrated circuits which provide all of the active
functions for a step-down (buck) switching regulator
capable of driving up to 5-A loads with excellent line
and load regulation characteristics. High efficiency
(>90%) is obtained through the use of a low onresistance DMOS power switch. The series consists
of fixed output voltages of 3.3-V, 5-V, and 12-V and
an adjustable output version.

Range
The SIMPLE SWITCHER® concept provides for a
complete design using a minimum number of external
components. The switching clock frequency can be
provided by an internal fixed frequency oscillator
(260 kHz) or from an externally provided clock in the
range of 280 kHz to 400 kHz, which allows the use of
physically smaller-sized components. A family of
standard inductors for use with the LM2677 are
available from several manufacturers to greatly
simplify the design process. The external Sync clock
provides direct and precise control of the output ripple
frequency for consistent filtering or frequency
spectrum positioning.

The LM2677 series also has built-in thermal
shutdown, current-limiting, and an ON/OFF control
input that can power down the regulator to a low
50-μA quiescent-current standby condition. The
output voltage is ensured to a ±2% tolerance.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
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 5 A,
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 predetermined from a variety of manufacturers.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 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/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).

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.2 CBoost
A capacitor must be connected from pin 3 to the switch output, pin 1. This capacitor boosts the gate driver 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 CBoost is 0.01 μF.
7.3.3 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, TI recommends using a broad ground plane to
minimize signal coupling throughout the circuit.
7.3.4 Sync
This input allows control of the switching clock frequency. If left open-circuited the regulator is switched at the
internal oscillator frequency, from 225 kHz to 280 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 LM2677 internal oscillator frequency, which could be as high as 280 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 ac-coupling the external TTL or CMOS
compatible clock (between 0 V and a level greater than 3 V) to the sync input through a 100-pF capacitor and a
1-kΩ resistor to ground at pin 5 as shown in Figure 16.
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 (see Additional Application Information).
7.3.5 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 (3.3-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 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.
7.3.6 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 0.8 V completely turns OFF the regulator. The current drain from the input supply when OFF is
only 50 μA. Pin 7 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 pin 7 must be left open
circuited.
7.3.7 DAP (VSON Package)
The die attach pad (DAP) must be connected to PCB ground plane. For CAD and assembly guidelines, see
application note, AN-1187 Leadless Leadframe Package (LLP).
7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Shutdown Mode
The ON/OFF pin provides electrical ON and OFF control for the LM2677. 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 20 μA.
7.4.2 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.

8 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.
8.1 Application Information
8.1.1 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, has 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.
8.1.2 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 Input and Output Capacitor Codes 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 260-kHz switching
frequency of the LM2677, the output capacitor is selected to provide a unity gain bandwidth of 40 kHz 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 40 kHz). When parallel
combinations of capacitors are required it has been assumed that each capacitor is the exact same part type.

Application Information (continued)
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 must 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.

8.1.4 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 must be rated to handle this. Paralleling multiple capacitors proportionally increases the current
rating of the total capacitance. The voltage rating must 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 must be considered when selecting an input
capacitor.
The input capacitor must 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 (0.1 μF to 0.47 μF) ceramic type capacitor in parallel
with the input capacitor to prevent or minimize any ringing.
8.1.5 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 −1 V, so TI
recommends a low voltage drop (particularly at high current levels) Schottky diode. 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 is reversed biased by the input voltage. The reverse voltage rating of the
diode must be at least 1.3 times greater than the maximum input voltage.
8.1.6 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, TI
recommends using a 0.01-μF, 50-V ceramic capacitor.

8.1.7 SYNC Components
When synchronizing the LM2677 with an external clock TI recommends connecting the clock to pin 5 through a
series 100-pF capacitor, and connecting a 1-kΩ resistor to ground from pin 5. This RC network creates a short
100-nS pulse on each positive edge of the clock to reset the internal ramp oscillator. The reset time of the
oscillator is approximately 300 nS.
8.1.8 Additional Application Information
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. It must 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 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 is automatically reduced to protect the IC. Frequency
below 100 kHz is typical for an extreme short circuit condition.

8.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
A system logic power supply bus of 3.3 V is to be generated from a wall adapter which provides an unregulated
DC voltage of 13 V to 16 V. The maximum load current is 2.5 A. Through-hole components are preferred.
Step 1: Select an LM2677T, 3.3 V. The output voltage has a tolerance of ±2% at room temperature and ±3%
over the full operating temperature range.
Step 2: Use the nomograph for the 3.3 V device, Figure 17. The intersection of the 16-V horizontal line (Vin max)
and the 2.5-A vertical line (Iload max) indicates that L33, a 22-μH inductor, is required. From Table 4, L33 in a
through-hole component is available from Renco with part number RL-1283-22-43 or part number PE-53933 from

Step 3: Use Table 5 to determine an output capacitor. With a 3.3-V output and a 22-μH 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 1 provides the actual capacitor characteristics. Any of the following
choices works in the circuit:

Step 4: Use Table 6 to select an input capacitor. With 3.3-V output and 22-μH there are three through-hole
solutions. These capacitors provide a sufficient voltage rating and an rms current rating greater than 1.25 A (1/2

8.2.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
In this example it is desired to convert the voltage from a two-battery automotive power supply (voltage range of
20 V to 28 V, typical in large truck applications) to the 14.8 VDC alternator supply typically used to power
electronic equipment from single battery 12-V vehicle systems. The load current required is 2 A maximum. It is
also desired to implement the power supply with all surface mount components.
Step 1: Select an LM2677S-ADJ to set the output voltage to 14.9 V that chooses between two required resistors
(R1 and R2 in Figure 20). For the adjustable device, the output voltage is set by Equation 1.
æ
R ö
VOUT = VFB ç 1 + 2 ÷
R1 ø
è
where
•
VFB is the feedback voltage of typically 1.21 V
(1)
A recommended value to use for R1 is 1K. In this example then R2 is determined with Equation 2.

ö
æ 12.8 V
ö
R2 = R1 ç OUT - 1÷ = 1 kW ç
- 1÷
è 1.21 V
ø
è VFB
ø
(2)
R2 = 11.2 kΩ
The closest standard 1% tolerance value to use is 11.3 kΩ. This sets the nominal output voltage to 14.88 V
which is within 0.5% of the target value.
Step 2: To use the nomograph for the adjustable device, Figure 21, requires a calculation of the inductor
Volt•microsecond constant (E × T expressed in V × μS) from Equation 3.
VOUT + VD
1000
E ´ T = VIN(MAX ) - VOUT - VSAT ´
´
(V ´ ms )
VIN(MAX ) - VSAT + VD 260
(
)
where
•
VSAT is the voltage drop across the internal power switch which is Rds(ON) times Iload
(3)
In this example, this would be typically 0.15 Ω × 2 A or 0.3 V and VD is the voltage drop across the forward
bisased Schottky diode, typically 0.5 V. The switching frequency of 260 kHz 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
with Equation 4 and Equation 5.
E ´ T = (28 - 14.8 - 0.3 ) ´
E ´ T = (12.9 V ) ´
14.8 + 0.5
1000
´
(V ´ ms )
28 - 0.3 + 0.5 260
15.3
´ 3.85 (V ´ ms ) = 26.9 (V ´ ms )
28.2
(4)
(5)
Using Figure 21, the intersection of 27 V × μS horizontally and the 2-A vertical line (Iload max) indicates that L38 ,
a 68-μH inductor, must be used. L38 in a surface mount component is available from Pulse Engineering with part
number PE-54038S.

Step 3: Use Table 9 and Table 10 to determine an output capacitor. With a 14.8-V output the 12.5-V to 15-V row
is used and with a 68-μH inductor there are three surface mount output capacitor solutions. Table 1 provides the
actual capacitor characteristics based on the C Code number. Any of the following choices can be used:
• 1 × 33-μF, 20-V AVX TPS (code C6)
• 1 × 47-μF, 20-V Sprague 594 (code C8)

NOTE
When using the adjustable device in low voltage applications (less than 3-V output), if the
nomograph, Figure 21, selects an inductance of 22 μH or less, Table 9 does not provide
an output capacitor solution. With these conditions the number of output capacitors
required for stable operation becomes impractical. TI recommends using either a 33-μH or
47-μH inductor and the output capacitors from Table 9.
Step 4: An input capacitor for this example requires at least a 35-V WV rating with an rms current rating of 1 A
(1/2 Iout max). From Table 1 it can be seen that C12, a 33-μF, 35-V capacitor from Sprague, has the required
voltage/current rating of the surface mount components.
Step 5: From Table 7 a 3-A 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 6: A 0.01-μF capacitor is used for Cboost.

SNVS077J – MAY 2004 – REVISED JUNE 2016
9 Power Supply Recommendations
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.
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.
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 8 V to 40 V. For best performance of the power supply the input pin must always be
bypassed with an input capacitor placed close to pin 2.
10 Layout
10.1 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 16 and Figure 20) 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 C 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.

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.
