NSC LM2673S-12 Simple switcher 3a step-down voltage regulator with adjustable current limit Datasheet

LM2673
SIMPLE SWITCHER ® 3A Step-Down Voltage Regulator
with Adjustable Current Limit
General Description
Features
The LM2673 series of regulators are monolithic integrated
circuits which provide all of the active functions for a stepdown (buck) switching regulator capable of driving up to 3A
loads with excellent line and load regulation characteristics.
High efficiency ( > 90%) is obtained through the use of a low
ON-resistance DMOS power switch. The series consists of
fixed output voltages of 3.3V, 5V and 12V and an adjustable
output version.
The SIMPLE SWITCHER concept provides for a complete
design using a minimum number of external components. A
high fixed frequency oscillator (260KHz) allows the use of
physically smaller sized components. A family of standard
inductors for use with the LM2673 are available from several
manufacturers to greatly simplify the design process.
Other features include the ability to reduce the input surge
current at power-ON by adding a softstart timing capacitor to
gradually turn on the regulator. The LM2673 series also has
built in thermal shutdown and resistor programmable current
limit of the power MOSFET switch to protect the device and
load circuitry under fault conditions. The output voltage is
guaranteed to a ± 2% tolerance. The clock frequency is
controlled to within a ± 11% tolerance.

The LM2673 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 3A, and highly
efficient operation.
The LM2673 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 a design software program called LM267X
Made Simple (version 2.0) a complete switching power
supply can be designed quickly. The software is provided
free of charge and can be downloaded from National Semiconductor’s Internet site located at http://www.national.com.
A resistor connected from pin 5 to ground establishes a
current (I(pin 5) = 1.2V / RADJ) that sets the peak current
through the power switch. The maximum switch current is
fixed at a level of 37,125 / RADJ.
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 LM2673. 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.
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).
SOFTSTART
A capacitor connected from pin 7 to ground allows for a slow
turn-on of the switching regulator. The capacitor sets a time
delay to gradually increase the duty cycle of the internal
power switch. This can significantly reduce the amount of
surge current required from the input supply during an abrupt
application of the input voltage. If softstart is not required this
pin should be left open circuited.
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 LM2673.
For guaranteed 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.
DAP (LLP 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 at http://
power.national.com.
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 LM2673, it is
recommended that a broad ground plane be used to minimize signal coupling throughout the circuit

CURRENT ADJUST
A key feature of the LM2673 is the ability to tailor the peak
switch current limit to a level required by a particular application. This alleviates the need to use external components
that must be physically sized to accommodate current levels
(under shorted output conditions for example) that may be
much higher than the normal circuit operating current requirements.

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
10091323
FIGURE 1. Basic circuit for fixed output voltage applications.
10091324
FIGURE 2. Basic circuit for adjustable output voltage applications
Power supply design using the LM2673 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 LM2673. 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 compari-
www.national.com
son 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
10
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.
(Continued)
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.
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.
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.
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 LM2673. 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 LM2673 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.
RADJ, ADJUSTABLE CURRENT LIMIT
A key feature of the LM2673 is the ability to control the peak
switch current. Without this feature the peak switch current
would be internally set to 5A or higher to accommodate 3A
load current designs. This requires that both the inductor
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 tables 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 LM2673 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
LM2673, 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.
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

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 retrigger 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
(1⁄2CV2), thus requiring an increased charging current.
(Continued)
(which could saturate with excessively high currents) and the
catch diode be able to safely handle up to 5A which would be
conducted under load fault conditions.
If an application only requires a load current of 2A or so the
peak switch current can be set to a limit just over the maximum load current with the addition of a single programming
resistor. This allows the use of less powerful and more cost
effective inductors and diodes.
The peak switch current is equal to a factor of 37,125 divided
by RADJ. A resistance of 8.2KΩ sets the current limit to
typically 4.5A. For predictable control of the current limit it is
recommended to keep the peak switch current greater than
1A. For lower current applications 500mA and 1A switching
regulators, the LM2674 and LM2672, are available.
When the power switch reaches the current limit threshold it
is immediately turned OFF and the internal switching frequency is reduced. This extends the OFF time of the switch
to prevent a steady state high current condition. As the
switch current falls below the current limit threshold, the
switch will turn back ON. If a load fault continues, the switch
will again exceed the threshold and switch back OFF. This
will result in a low duty cycle pulsing of the power switch to
minimize the overall fault condition power dissipation.
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.
SIMPLE DESIGN PROCEDURE
Css SOFTSTART CAPACITOR
This optional capacitor controls the rate at which the LM2673
starts up at power on. The capacitor is charged linearly by an
internal current source. This voltage ramp gradually increases the duty cycle of the power switch until it reaches
the normal operating duty cycle defined primarily by the ratio
of the output voltage to the input voltage. The softstart
turn-on time is programmable by the selection of Css.
The formula for selecting a softstart capacitor is:
Using the nomographs and tables in this data sheet (or use
the available design software at http://www.national.com) 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
Where:
ISST = Softstart Current, 3.7µA typical
tSS = Softstart time, from design requirements
VSST = Softstart Threshold Voltage, 0.63V typical
VOUT = Output Voltage, from design requirements
VSCHOTTKY = Schottky Diode Voltage Drop, typically 0.5V
VIN = Maximum Input Voltage, from design requirements
If this feature is not desired, leave the Softstart pin (pin 7)
open circuited
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.

Maximum output load current
Step 2: Set the output voltage by selecting a fixed output
LM2673 (3.3V, 5V or 12V applications) or determine the
required feedback resistors for use with the adjustable
LM2673−ADJ
Step 3: Determine the inductor required by using one of the
four nomographs, Figure 3 through Figure 6. Table 1 provides a specific manufacturer and part number for the inductor.
Step 4: Using Table 3 (fixed output voltage) or Table 6
(adjustable output voltage), determine the output capacitance required for stable operation. Table 2 provides the
specific capacitor type from the manufacturer of choice.
Step 5: Determine an input capacitor from Table 4 for fixed
output voltage applications. Use Table 2 to find the specific
capacitor type. For adjustable output circuits select a capacitor from Table 2 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 5. The current rating of the
diode must be greater than I load max and the Reverse
Voltage rating must be greater than Vin max.

Application Hints
tSS: 50mS
VSST: 0.63V
VOUT: 3.3V
VSCHOTTKY: 0.5V
VIN: 16V
(Continued)
Step 7: Include a 0.01µF/50V capacitor for Cboost in the
design and then determine the value of a softstart capacitor
if desired.
Step 8: Define a value for RADJ to set the peak switch
current limit to be at least 20% greater than Iout max to allow
for at least 30% inductor ripple current ( ± 15% of Iout). For
designs that must operate over the full temperature range
the switch current limit should be set to at least 50% greater
than Iout max (1.5 x Iout max).
Using Vin max ensures that the softstart delay time will be at
least the desired 50mS.
Using the formula for Css a value of 0.148µF is determined
to be required. Use of a standard value 0.22µF capacitor will
produce more than sufficient softstart delay.
Step 8: Determine a value for RADJ to provide a peak switch
current limit of at least 2.5A plus 50% or 3.75A.
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. A
softstart delay time of 50mS is desired. Through-hole components are preferred.
Step 1: Operating conditions are:
Use a value of 10KΩ.
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. Softstart is
not required.
Step 1: Operating conditions are:
Vout = 14.8V
Vin max = 28V
Iload max = 2A
Step 2: Select an LM2673S-ADJ. To set the output voltage
to 14.9V two resistors need to be chosen (R1 and R2 in
Figure 2). For the adjustable device the output voltage is set
by the following relationship:
Vout = 3.3V
Vin max = 16V
Iload max = 2.5A
Step 2: Select an LM2673T-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 3.
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 3 to determine an output capacitor. With a
3.3V output and a 33µH 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 2 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)
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:
1 x 2200µF/10V Nichicon PL (code C5)
1 x 1000µF/35V Panasonic HFQ (code C7)
Step 5: Use Table 4 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 2 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 5 a 3A or more Schottky diode must be
selected. The 20V rated diodes are sufficient for the application and for through-hole components two part types are
suitable:
1N5820
SR302
Step 7: A 0.01µF capacitor will be used for Cboost. For the
50mS softstart delay the following parameters are to be
used:
ISST: 3.7µA
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 6, 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 0.15Ω x 2A or 0.3V and VD is the voltage drop
across the forward bisased Schottky diode, typically 0.5V.

Application Hints
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 2 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 5 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:
(Continued)
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:
SK34
30BQ040
30WQ04F
MBRS340
MBRD340
Using Figure 6, the intersection of 27V • µS horizontally and
the 2A vertical line (Iload max) indicates that L38 , a 68µH
inductor, should be used.
Step 7: A 0.01µF capacitor will be used for Cboost.
The softstart pin will be left open circuited.
Step 8: Determine a value for RADJ to provide a peak switch
current limit of at least 2A plus 50% or 3A.
From Table 1, L38 in a surface mount component is available
from Pulse Engineering with part number PE-54038S.
Step 4: Use Table 6 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 2 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 6, selects an inductance of 22µH or less, Table 6 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 6.

Use a value of 12.4KΩ.
