LM2677
SIMPLE SWITCHER
High Efficiency 5A Step-Down
Voltage Regulator with Sync
General 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 5A
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.
The switching clock frequency can be provided by an inter-
nal fixed frequency oscillator (260KHz) or from an externally
provided clock in the range of 280KHz to 400Khz 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 50A quiescent current standby
condition. The output voltage is guaranteed to a
2% toler-
ance.

Electrical Characteristics
(Continued)
Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions under which of the device is
guaranteed. Operating Ratings do not imply guaranteed performance limits. For guaranteed performance limits and associated test condition, see the electrical
Characteristics tables.
Note 2: ESD was applied using the human-body model, a 100pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 k
resistor into each pin.
Note 3: Typical values are determined with T
A
= T
J
= 25C and represent the most likely norm.
Note 4: All limits are guaranteed at room temperature (standard type face) and at temperature extremes (bold type face). All room temperature limits are 100%
tested during production with T
A
= T
J
= 25C. All limits at temperature extremes are guaranteed via correlation using standard standard Quality Control (SQC)
methods. All limits are used to calculate Average Outgoing Quality Level (AOQL).
Note 5: Junction to ambient thermal resistance (no external heat sink) for the 7 lead TO-220 package mounted vertically, with
1
/
2
inch leads in a socket, or on a PC
board with minimum copper area.
Note 6: Junction to ambient thermal resistance (no external heat sink) for the 7 lead TO-220 package mounted vertically, with
1
/
2
inch leads soldered to a PC board
containing approximately 4 square inches of (1 oz.) copper area surrounding the leads.
Note 7: Junction to ambient thermal resistance for the 7 lead TO-263 mounted horizontally against a PC board area of 0.136 square inches (the same size as the
TO-263 package) of 1 oz. (0.0014 in. thick) copper.
Note 8: Junction to ambient thermal resistance for the 7 lead TO-263 mounted horizontally against a PC board area of 0.4896 square inches (3.6 times the area
of the TO-263 package) of 1 oz. (0.0014 in. thick) copper.
Note 9: Junction to ambient thermal resistance for the 7 lead TO-263 mounted horizontally against a PC board copper area of 1.0064 square inches (7.4 times the
area of the TO-263 package) of 1 oz. (0.0014 in. thick) copper. Additional copper area will reduce thermal resistance further. See the thermal model in Switchers
Made Simple
software.
Note 10: Junction to ambient thermal resistance for the 14-lead LLP mounted on a PC board copper area equal to the die attach paddle.
Note 11: Junction to ambient thermal resistance for the 14-lead LLP mounted on a PC board copper area using 12 vias to a second layer of copper equal to die
attach paddle. Additional copper area will reduce thermal resistance further. For layout recommendations, refer to Application Note AN-1187.
